Quote for the day....

[arctic-stranger]

Given life's jabs at my backside lately, i found this to help me get through it all.

True hope is swift, and flies with swallow's wings:
Kings it makes gods, and meaner creatures kings.

From Richard the Third....it is especially poignant because my namesake utters it.

So what quotes have kept you going?

These have helped at different times of my life:



"The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy." Martin Luther King

"Accept me as I am, so that I may learn what I become." Anonymous

The pain of parting cannot be compared with the joy of meeting again, else who could bear it." Willy Smith

"Suppose we are out on a lake and it's a bit foggy - not too foggy, but a bit foggy - and we're rowing along in our little boat having a good time. And then, all of a sudden, coming out of the fog, there's this other rowboat and it's heading right at us. And CRASH! Well, for a second, we're really angry - what is that fool doing? I just painted my boat! And here he comes - crash! - right into it. And then suddenly we notice that the rowboat is empty. What happens to our anger? Well, the anger collapses. I'll just have to paint my boat again, that's all. But if that rowboat that hit ours had another person it it, how would we react? You know what would happen!

Now our encounters with life, with other people, with events, are just like being bumped by an empty rowboat. But we don't experience life that way. We experience it as though there are people in that other rowboat and we're really getting clobbered by them.

We don't have to analyze it, pick it apart or "communicate" about it. The wonder of living with anything is...what? It's perfect in being as it is."
