Dawg's Quotation Thread

[Dawg]

When a friend calls to me from the road
And slows his horse to a meaning walk,
I don't stand still and look around
On all the hills I haven't hoed,
And shout from where I am, What is it?
No, not as there is a time to talk.
I thrust my hoe in the mellow ground,
Blade-end up and five feet tall,
And plod: I go up to the stone wall
For a friendly visit.


Robert Frost

Rush, The Pass

All of us get lost in the darkness, dreamers learn to steer by the stars

John Cougar Mellencamp, Minutes To Memories

An honest man's pillow is his peace of mind.

The Eagles, Desperado

Don't you draw the Queen of Diamonds, boy, she'll beat you if she's able. You know, the Queen of Hearts is always your best bet.

The Platters, To Each His Own

A rose must remain with the sun and the rain, or its lovely promise won't come true. To each his own, to each his own, and my own is you. -

A politician's job they say is very high, for he has to choose who's got to go and die.

Miss you Dawg

 

[Dawg]

Thanks Daizie, I've missed you too...


Where am I? Who am I?
How did I come to be here?
What is this thing called the world?
How did I come into the world?
Why was I not consulted?
And If I am compelled to take part in it,
Where is the director?
I want to see him.


Soren Kierkegaard




I've spent many hours these past few days
wondering who I am...
wondering what I'm doing,
and where I'm going.

I don't have any answers,
I just know I have to go and figure it out...

Be good, and enjoy your lives...
hopefully we'll meet again another day.

I wanted a perfect ending. Now I've learned, the hard way, that some poems don't rhyme, and some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle, and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next. Delicious Ambiguity.

Listen to the Exhortation of the Dawn!
Look to this Day!
For it is Life, the very Life of Life.
In its brief course lie all the
Verities and Realities of your Existence.
The Bliss of Growth,
The Glory of Action,
The Splendor of Beauty;
For Yesterday is but a Dream,
And To-morrow is only a Vision;
But To-day well lived makes
Every Yesterday a Dream of Happiness,
And every Tomorrow a Vision of Hope.
Look well therefore to this Day!
Such is the Salutation of the Dawn!

Still Life With Woodpecker

The bottom line is that:

(a) people are never perfect, but love can be,
(b) that is the one and only way that
the mediocre and vile can be transformed,
(c) doing that makes it that.

We waste time looking for the perfect lover,
instead of creating the perfect love.

May the love hidden deep inside your heart find the love waiting in your dreams. May the laughter that you find in your tomorrow wipe away the pain you find in your yesterdays.

For every beauty there is an eye somewhere to see it. For every truth there is an ear somewhere to hear it. For every love there is a heart somewhere to receive it.

The life I touch for good or ill will touch another life, and that in turn another, until who knows where the trembling stops or in what far place my touch will be felt.

I was going to post a quote very similar to the one you posted earlier, I'll have to go back and see if I can find it again. I'm doing well too, thanks for asking!

Red Auerbach said this? hmmm... surprising...

"How strange is the lot of us mortals! Each of us is here for a brief sojourn; for what purpose he knows not, though he senses it. But without deeper reflection one knows from daily life that one exists for other people." -

Speaking of organs...

The function of muscle is to pull and not to push, except in the case of the genitals and the tongue.
