But the present time has one advantage over every other—it is our own. Past opportunities are gone, future have not come. We may lay in a stock of pleasures, as we would lay in a stock of wine; but if we defer the tasting of them too long, we shall find that both are soured by age. ~~Charles Caleb Colton” 9:20:18 AM 5/04/11 “Real success is finding your lifework in the work that you love. David McCullough” 8:38:55 PM 5/04/11 “And the summer, it too will fade and with it brings the winter's frost dear And I know we too are made of all the things that we have lost here Tom Waits” 4:38:47 AM 5/05/11 “Patience serves as a protection against wrongs as clothes do against cold. For if you put on more clothes as the cold increases, it will have no power to hurt you. So in like manner you must grow in patience when you meet with great wrongs, and they will then be powerless to vex your mind. Leonardo da Vinci” 5:30:20 AM 5/05/11 “I'll roam these hills and mountain sides, until that bye and bye, That perfect day, when packs take wing, And the treadway climbs the sky Nimblewood Nomad” 5:46:21 AM 5/05/11 “Hey, I have one of his stoves!” 6:43:15 AM 5/05/11 “Human subtlety will never devise an invention more beautiful, more simple or more direct than does Nature, because in her inventions, nothing is lacking and nothing is superfluous. Leonardo da Vinci” 9:23:12 PM 5/05/11 “"Firearms only have two enemies - rust and politicans" author unknown” 10:39:42 AM 5/12/11 “From a yahoo discussion of a failed prophet, rapidly revising his prophecy: "It's a shame that stupidity can't be converted into a usable energy source." (I will definitely steal that one day)” 7:08:42 AM 5/24/11 “"When we cannot find each other, he said, well we can't run away anymore". http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=361ZR4CSa60&playnext=1&list=PLC2E2FAA133F1FBA5” 9:38:38 PM 5/27/11 “It doesn't matter how long we may have been stuck in a sense of our limitations. If we go into a darkened room and turn on the light, it doesn't matter if the room has been dark for a day, a week, or ten thousand years -- we turn on the light and it is illuminated. Once we control our capacity for love and happiness, the light has been turned on. - Sharon Salzberg” 7:09:20 AM 7/18/11 “Should you find yourself the victim of other people's bitterness, ignorance, smallness or insecurities; Remember, things could be worse. You could be them! Anonymous (found many places on the web) last edited: 11/06/11 6:48:32 PM” 6:46:56 PM 11/06/11 “Ecclesiastes 10:2 New International Version (NIV) 2 The heart of the wise inclines to the right, but the heart of the fool to the left.” 9:14:56 PM 11/06/11 “I am the great Cornholio! Bevis” 4:46:03 AM 11/07/11 toejam “'Course, too, that is the reason men are supposed to walk the sidewalk with woman on the right....because before indoor plumbing, wash and bath water were thrown out the window--the one closest--on the right would be saved from the falling dirty bath water. :-)” 5:43:17 AM 11/07/11 “I think that one may contribute (ever so slightly) to the beauty of things by making one's own life and environment beautiful, as far as one's power reaches. This includes moral beauty, one of the qualities of humanity, though it seems not to appear elsewhere in the universe. But I would have each person realize that his contribution is not important, its success not really a matter for exultation nor its failure for mourning; the beauty of things is sufficient without him -Robinson Jeffers” 12:29:20 PM 11/07/11 “"People believe any quote they read on the internet if it fits their preconceived notions." — Martin Luther King” 1:25:44 PM 11/07/11 “LOL...considering the internet as we know it did not exist until the late 80s. Stovie you are such a silly person. That is a hoot.” 3:08:05 PM 11/07/11 “"Humor can be dissected, as a frog can, but the thing dies in the process and the innards are discouraging to any but the pure scientific mind." — E. B. White” 3:29:45 PM 11/07/11 “Those who directed the state in the time of Solon and Cleisthenes did not establish a polity which ... trained the citizens in such fashion that they looked upon insolence as democracy, lawlessness as liberty, impudence of speech as equality, and licence to do what they pleased as happiness, but rather a polity which detested and punished such men and by so doing made all the citizens better and wiser. - Isocrates (436–338 BC), Greek rhetorician, was one of the ten Attic orators.” 11:25:57 AM 11/09/11 “Proverbs for Paranoids: 1. You may never get to touch the Master, but you can tickle his creatures. 2. The innocence of the creatures is in inverse proportion to the immorality of the Master. 3. If they can get you asking the wrong questions, they don't have to worry about answers. 4. You hide, they seek. 5. Paranoids are not paranoid because they're paranoid, but because they keep putting themselves, ******* idiots, deliberately into paranoid situations -Thomas Pynchon” 11:40:00 AM 11/09/11 “I read that on the side of a black helicopter one time...” 11:48:49 AM 11/09/11 “You do not have a soul; you are a soul. You have a body. C.S. Lewis” 12:02:07 PM 11/09/11 Jump to Page << prev
