I agree.

We come to love not by finding a perfect person, but by learning to see an imperfect person perfectly.- Sam Keen

We can have in life but one great experience at best, and the secret of life is to reproduce that experience as often as possible.- Oscar Wilde

The best years of your life are the ones in which you decide your problems are your own. You do not blame them on your mother, the ecology, or the president. You realize that you control your own destiny.- Albert Ellis

We have already done so much that people call dynamics. Look at the bumblebee being unaware of scientific truths, goes ahead and flies anyway. If it is possible, we will do it here.- Tom Hopkins

Sanity and happiness are an impossible combination.- Mark Twain

The true harvest of my life is intangible - a little star dust caught, a portion of the rainbow I have clutched.- Henry David Thoreau

When one door of happiness closes, another opens, but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one that has been opened for us.-Helen Keller

You must be the change you wish to see in the world.-Mahatma Ghandi

We don’t live in a world of reality,we live in a world of perceptions.-Gerald J. Simmons

Happiness resides not in possessions and not in gold; the feeling of happiness dwells in the soul.-Democritus

Our truest life is when we are in dreams awake.-Henry David Thoreau

When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace- Jimi Hendrix

“Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me truth.”

“So many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and conservatism, all of which may appear to give one peace of mind, but in reality nothing is more damaging to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future.”

“You are wrong if you think Joy emanetes only or principally from human relationships. God has placed it all around us. It is in everything and anything we might experience.”

“Happiness only real when shared.”

-Alex Supertramp


Some people, I’ve found, are almost bursting at the seams with the desire to let you get to know them better. Ask one innocent question, and within ten minutes, you’ll learn that their beloved pet Chihuahua suffers from halitosis, that their grandfather once wrestled an alligator, and that they secretly dream of being a Las Vegas showgirls. As entertaining as these people may be, experience has taught me that those who say the most are those who know the least. Quiet people keep their secrets to themselves. That’s what makes them interesting—and generally worth the wait.
