Life is like music it must be composed by ear, feeling, and instinct, not by rule.

Samuel Butler

True love is born from understanding.

The Buddha

Change, like sunshine, can be a friend or a foe, a blessing or a curse, a dawn or a dusk.

William Arthur Ward

To realize one's destiny is a person's only real obligation.

Paulo Coelho

Wisdom and understanding can only become the possession of individual men by travelling the old road of observation, attention, perseverance, and industry.

Samuel Smiles

Grief can take care of itself; but to get the full value of a joy you must have somebody to divide it with.

Mark Twain

One can never ask anyone to change a feeling.

Susan Sontag

Everyone is given one gift, a reason for being, and it's our obligation to do something with it. Obviously, it's a challenge - but if you're not taking the bull by the horns, I have no patience for you. You're just taking up space.

Melissa Rosenberg

Danica McKellar

It is easy to judge evil unmixed, replied Gwydion. But, alas, in most of us good and bad are closely woven as the threads on a loom; greater wisdom than mine is needed for the judging.

Lloyd Alexander

The great gift of conversation lies less in displaying it ourselves than in drawing it out of others. He who leaves your company pleased with himself and his own cleverness is perfectly well pleased with you.

Jean de la Bruyere

To expect a personality to survive the disintegration of the brain is like expecting a cricket club to survive when all of its members are dead

Bertrand Russell
