Can't remember the author, but:

"Aim for the moon, for even if you miss, you still land amongst the stars!"

Great thread...I've been looking for something like this at a bookstore! Can't believe I found it here...of all places. Especially love the Bartlby link. Love that site too!!!
Hey Red8Ball... glad you like the thread, thanks for stopping by and contributing!

I found two possible author's tp a similar quote... "Shoot for the moon, ..."
One is Les Brown and the other Jill McLemore. I don't know if either is the right one, but its a great quote regardless.
 
Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap, but by the seeds you plant.

Some people come into our lives and quickly go.
Some people move our souls to dance. They awaken us to new understanding with the passing whisper of their wisdom.
Some people make the sky more beautiful to gaze upon.
They stay in our lives for awhile, leave footprints on our hearts, and we are never ever the same.

I long to accomplish a great and noble task, but it is my chief duty to accomplish humble tasks as though they were great and noble.

A pleasure alway Sir, :kiss: ;)

Love has no other desire but to fulfill itself
But if your love and must needs have desires,
Let these be your desires:

To melt and be like a running brook
That sings its melody to the night.
To know the pain of too much tenderness.
To be wounded by your own understanding of love;
And to bleed willingly and joyfully.
To wake at dawn with a winged heart
And give thanks for another day of loving;
To rest at the noon hour and meditate love's ecstasy;
To return home at eventide with gratitude;
And then to sleep with a prayer
For the beloved in your heart
And a song of praise upon your lips.
~ by Gibran Kahlil Gibran ~
 
All love shifts and changes.
I don't know if you can be wholeheartedly in love all the time.

Hello Beautiful....

Thanks for brightening the night! :kiss:
 
We wait all these years to find someone who understands us,
I thought, someone who accepts us as we are,
someone with a wizard's power to melt stone to sunlight,
who can bring us happiness in spite of trials,
who can face our dragons in the night,
who can transform us into the soul we choose to be.
Just yesterday I found that magical Someone is the face we see in the mirror:
It's us and our homemade masks.

In honor of a Halloween classic....

Nothing contributes so much to tranquilize the mind as a steady purpose - a point on which the soul may fix its intellectual eye.

Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley, Frankenstein, 1818
 
Halloween Quotes

On Halloween, the parents sent their kids out looking like me.
~Rodney Dangerfield

There are nights when the wolves are silent and only the moon howls.
~George Carlin

'Tis now the very witching time of night,
When churchyards yawn and hell itself breathes out
Contagion to this world.

~William Shakespeare

I'll bet living in a nudist colony takes all the fun out of Halloween.
~Author Unknown

Where there is no imagination there is no Horror.
~Arthur Conan Doyle, Sr.

One need not be a chamber to be haunted;
One need not be a house;
The brain has corridors surpassing
Material place.

~Emily Dickinson

'Tis the night - the night
Of the grave's delight,
And the warlocks are at their play;
Ye think that without
The wild winds shout,
But no, it is they - it is they.

~Arthur Cleveland Coxe

Auld Daddy Darkness creeps frae his hole,
Black as a blackmoor, blin' as a mole.

~James Farguson

Pixie, kobold, elf, and sprite,
All are on their rounds tonight;
In the wan moon's silver ray,
Thrives their helter-skelter play.
