The Older You Get The More You Like It

I love a pint of Guinness.
I’m a feminine tomboy, just like my sisters.
We love being girls, we love being women, but we like hanging out with guys.
We used to hang out in a bar called Leitrim in Queens, and I’d drink with the guys there – firemen, the police guys, paramedics.
When you drink Guinness, just make sure you don’t get the foam on your nose.
(Zoe Saldana)

To be intoxicated is to feel sophisticated,
But not be able to say it.

Wine improves with age –
The older you get the more you like it.

I’d Better Be Careful Who I Marry

When you turn 40, America has no idea what to do with you – it’s as though women go into a vacuum seal.
But now that I am in my 50s, I have been allowed to re-emerge.
I have absolutely no objection to growing older.
I am a stroke survivor so I am extremely grateful to be ageing – I have nothing but gratitude for the passing years.
(Sharon Stone)

I only get called my real name, Victoria, when I’m in trouble.
My mum always calls me that when I’ve been out of order.
To everyone else I’m always Pixie.
Pixie Lott is just a good pop name, I think.
My mother’s last name was Martin.
Pixie Martin hasn’t got the same ring to it.
I’d better be careful who I marry.
If I have to change my name it has to be one that looks right on my record sleeves.
(Pixie Lott)

I don’t like to gain weight.
I don’t like it if I bend over and fat bends over with me.
(Sharon Stone)

Words From Bruce Lee

Art calls for complete mastery of techniques, developed by reflection within the soul.

To spend time is to pass it in a specified manner.
To waste time is to expend it thoughtlessly or carelessly.
We all have time to either spend or waste and it is our decision what we do with it.
But once passed, it is gone forever.

For it is easy to criticize and break down the spirit of others, but to know yourself takes a lifetime.

Defeat is not defeat unless accepted as a reality in your own mind.

Everything you do, if not in a relaxed state will be done at a lesser level that you are proficient.

Using no way as a way, having no limitation as limitation.

Life’s battles don’t always go to the stronger or faster man.
But sooner or later the man who wins, is the man who thinks he can.

Moving, be like water. Still, be like a mirror.
Respond like an echo.

The idea is that flowing water never goes stale, so just keep on flowing.

As long as I can remember I feel I have had this great creative and spiritual force within me that is greater than faith, greater than ambition, greater than confidence, greater than determination, greater than vision.
It is all these combined.
My brain becomes magnetized with this dominating force which I hold in my hand.

The spirit of the individual is determined by his dominating thought habits.

Those who are unaware they are walking in darkness will never seek the light.

Never waste energy on worries or negative thoughts….
All problems are brought into existence – drop them.

More Under-Age Sex And More Abortions

There is no better symbol of the squalid New Britain than the choice of Christmas to make the ‘morning-after-pill’ easier to get.
Now this do-it-yourself abortion for people who are not just feckless but incompetent too is to be given out by post, in advance (surely it should be renamed the ‘night-before’ pill, in that case?).
Under-age girls will easily be able to get it.
Like all such measures, it will be followed by more under-age sex and more abortions.
And nobody will make the connection.
(Peter Hitchens)

We Can’t Make Someone Love Us

Love is like a friendship caught on fire.
In the beginning a flame, very pretty, often hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering.
As love grows older, our hearts mature and our love becomes as coals, deep-burning and unquenchable.
(Bruce Lee)

Those who carry love in their heart show it by the happiness in their smile.

We can’t make someone love us…. All we can do is be someone who can be loved.

True love doesn’t have a happy ending,
True love doesn’t have an ending.

Love has no eyes…. But love is blind….
Love sees but doesn’t mind.

Just because someone doesn’t love you in the way you want them to, it doesn’t mean they don’t love you with all their heart.

Let’s wish for a world that has peace, where cruelty and vengeance will cease, where kindness is master, and love is for ever after.

We Are All Angels With Only One Wing

If I can stop one heart from breaking, I shall not live in vain.
(Emily Dickinson)

Life’s a bitch. You’ve got to go out and kick ass.
(Maya Angelou)

The day which we fear as our last is but the birthday of eternity.
(Seneca)

If the only prayer you ever say in your entire life is thank you, it will be enough.
(Meister Eckhart)

Wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving.
(Kahlil Gibran)

Judge nothing, you will be happy…. Forgive everything, you will be happier…. Love everything, you will be happiest.
(Chinmoy)

We are each of us angels with only one wing, and we can fly only by embracing each other.
(Luciano De Crescenzo)

Quotes From Bruce Lee

Always be yourself, express yourself, have faith in yourself, do not go out and look for a successful personality and duplicate it.

As you think, so shall you become.

I fear not the man who has practised 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practised one kick 10,000 times.

If you spend too much time thinking about a thing, you’ll never get it done.

Knowledge will give you power, but character respect.

Man, the living creature, the creating individual, is always more important than any established style or system.

Notice that the stiffest tree is most easily cracked, while the bamboo or willow survives by bending with the wind.

Obey the principles without being bound by them.

Real living is living for others.

Showing off is the fool’s idea of glory.

Take no thought of who is right or wrong or who is better than. Be not for or against.

The possession of anything begins in the mind.

In great attempts it is glorious even to fail.

Time means a lot to me because you see I am also a learner and am often lost in the joy of forever developing.

If there is a God, he is within.
You don’t ask God to give you things, you depend on God for your inner theme.

If you don’t want to slip up tomorrow, speak the truth today.

A ‘Simple Girl’ Executed With A Bullet In The Back Of Her Head

25-year-old He Xiuling was not a hardened criminal but a simple girl from the countryside sucked into the drugs trade and used as a ‘mule’ by a domineering boyfriend.
Worse still, it appears she was led to believe she might receive a lighter sentence if she confessed.
She did just that – and was condemned to death.
At her trial Xiuling had pleaded to the judge: ‘Please give me a second chance to live. I want to live. I am still young.’
But while wealth and political connections can often secure leniency in China, Xiuling had neither.
Just nine months after her court appearance she was executed with a bullet in the back of her head.
Such was her naivety she believed right to the end that she would be spared and handed a 15-year jail term.
She excitedly told fellow inmates: ‘I’ll still only be 40 when I’m free.’
More prisoners are executed in China every year than in the rest of the world combined.

A website believed to be based in Hong Kong, turned their anger on Chinese officials who notoriously escape severe sentences for serious crimes.
One comment read: ‘What these women did is nowhere near as bad as what corrupt officials in China do. They are the ones who should be shot.’

Life Is Like Going Through A Storm

The moon and the stars are there to guide us…. to talk to when we are lonely…. to look up to when we are sad…. and to shout at when we are angry.

Our dreams can travel fast and far, reaching out to touch a star…. breaking free from time and space, soaring beyond this mundane place.

Sometimes I’m glad, sometimes I’m sad…. sometimes I’m up, sometimes I’m down…. but my soul still feels heavenly bound.

Our life is like going through a storm, avoiding the thunder and lightning…. until we reach the rainbow.

Live your life laughing…. so that when you die you’re smiling…. and all those at your funeral are crying.

Very few things in life are really important.
Life has to be lived, and that’s all there is to it.

The greatest loss in life is what dies inside us while we live.
