Dawg's Quotation Thread

True happiness is of a retired nature, and an enemy to pomp and noise; it arises, in the first place, from the enjoyment of one's self, and in the next from the friendship and conversation of a few select companions.

~Joseph Addison~
 
“A soulmate is someone who has locks that fit our keys, and keys to fit our locks. When we feel safe enough to open the locks, our truest selves step out and we can be completely and honestly who we are; we can be loved for who we are and not for who we’re pretending to be. Each unveils the best part of the other. No matter what else goes wrong around us, with that one person we’re safe in our own paradise. Our soulmate is someone who shares our deepest longings, our sense of direction. When we’re two balloons, and together our direction is up, chances are we’ve found the right person. Our soulmate is the one who makes life come to life.”

Richard Bach
 
Ultimately the bond of all companionship, whether in marriage or friendship, is conversation~ Oscar Wilde
 
My All Time Favorite Quote

“The worst lies are the lies we tell ourselves. We live in denial of what we do, even what we think. We do this because we're afraid. We fear we will not find love, and when we find it we fear we'll lose it. We fear that if we do not have love we will be unhappy.”

Richard Bach

Winston Churchil after leaving the House of commons one evening the worse for drink bumped into a female member of the opposition. In her disgust, she said 'You sir are drunk' To which the illustrious leader replied.

'That I may be madam, but you are also ugly, the difference here being, I will be sober in the morning'
 
"There are no mistakes. The events we bring upon ourselves, no matter how unpleasant, are necessary in order to learn what we need to learn; whatever steps we take, they're necessary to reach the places we've chosen to go."


Richard Bach
 
If you want to know what a woman really means--which, by the way, is always a dangerous thing to do--look at her, don't listen to her.~Oscar Wilde
 
“I don't pretend to know what love is for everyone, but I can tell you what it is for me; love is knowing all about someone, and still wanting to be with them more than any other person, love is trusting them enough to tell them everything about yourself, including the things you might be ashamed of, love is feeling comfortable and safe with someone, but still getting weak knees when they walk into a room and smile at you.”

~I don't know who said or wrote this but it's perfect.
 
“It is not a lack of love, but a lack of friendship that makes unhappy marriages.”

~Friedrich Nietzsche
 
The trouble with being punctual is that nobody's there to appreciate it.

~Franklin P. Jones~

The greatest discovery of my generation is that a human being can alter his life by altering his attitudes of mind.

William James
 
Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved.

Helen Keller
 
Happiness resides not in posessions and not in gold; the feeling of happiness dwells in the soul.
Democritus

If you follow your bliss, doors will open for you that wouldn't have opened for anyone else.
Joseph Campbell (LEC)
 
If it is the dirty element that gives pleasure to the act of lust, then the dirtier it is, the more pleasurable it is bound to be.

The Marquis de Sade
 
When once you have tasted flight you will always walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward: for there you have been and there you will always be.

Henry Van Dyke
 
Life without sex might be safer but it would be unbearably dull. It is the sex instinct which makes women seem beautiful, which they are once in a blue moon, and men seem wise and brave, which they never are at all. Throttle it, denaturalize it, take it away, and human existence would be reduced to the prosaic, laborious, boresome, imbecile level of life in an anthill.

~Henry Louis Mencken
 
We're the bridge across forever, arching above the sea, adventuring for our pleasure, living mysteries for the fun of it, choosing disasters triumphs challenges impossible odds, testing ourselves over and again, learning love and love and LOVE!

Richard Bach
 
And the Grinch, with his Grinch-feet ice cold in the snow, stood puzzling and puzzling, how could it be so? It came without ribbons. It came without tags. It came without packages, boxes or bags. And he puzzled and puzzled 'till his puzzler was sore. Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn't before. What if Christmas, he thought, doesn't come from a store. What if Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more. ~Dr. Suess

Merry Christmas, BD :kiss:
 
Great minds discuss ideas, average minds discuss events, and small minds discuss people~Eleanor Roosevelt.
