I shall not Yield

To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.

Alfred, Lord Tennyson

Serenity

Grant me the serenity to  

accept the things I cannot change, 

the courage to change the things I can, 

and the wisdom to know the difference.

 

 Vir sapit qui pauca loquitur.

Just Because

I do my thing and you do your thing.
I am not in this world to live up to your expectations,
And you are not in this world to live up to mine.
You are you, and I am I, and if by chance we find each other, it's beautiful.
If not, it can't be helped.

I heart Oscar Wilde

No matter his issues, his predilections, his somewhat mad view of life the man was a genius. Here are but a few of his most fantastic quotes.

The Picture of Dorian Gray

There is no such thing as a moral or an immoral book. Books are well written, or badly written. That is all

Genius lasts longer than beauty.

Nowadays people know the price of everything and the value of nothing.  

Children begin by loving their parents; as they grow older they judge them; sometimes they forgive them. 

 It is the confession, not the priest, that gives us absolution.

To define is to limit.

Is insincerity such a terrible thing? I think not. It is merely a method by which we can multiply our personalities.

Lessons from Today

Life is too short for regrets


Life is too short to hold grudges 



Think how you want to be remembered


Sadly it is at your funeral that how much you are truly loved and remembered becomes obvious


Never wait to say something important, do something important or say or do something you think matters even if it isn't important 

because


Life Is Too Short For Regrets.

Going around in circles

To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, a time to reap that which is planted;
A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;
A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.

Forever Searching

Better to light a candle than curse the darkness

The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.
