Every New Friend Opens A Door

Love is being with you… someone saying I love you too… love is you and me… and that is all I see.

Sometimes our love is difficult to express.
We cannot find the words to tell our feelings…
Especially to those we love the best.

We meet people in our lives who show us the beauty of the world… they leave footprints on our heart… and we are never ever the same again.

The stars in the sky may be gardens in heaven… where those we have lost shine their love down upon us.

Every new friend opens a door to more understanding.
Our friends may be God’s way of taking care of us.

It was a miracle… a dream come true…
It was the day I fell in love with you.

Our love for others is a gift of life… and when others love us it is a blessing of life.

Beverly Hills Is A Vampire City

The truth is I’ve actually never wanted to interview Madonna.
I’ve always thought of her as a highly annoying creature, and I know the feeling’s mutual.
(Piers Morgan)

Beverly Hills is a vampire city – I hate going there.
There’s definitely a bubble in LA with only one type of industry going on, and it gets to me.
I’m originally from New Jersey and I prefer the mentality on the east coast of America.
I like living in New York.
I have anonymity here that I don’t have in Los Angeles.
London was too vast, too big a city for me when I first went there, but now I love it.
(Kirsten Dunst)

At weekends I try to take time out to think – and for me that means a walk along the River Thames near where I live.
I grew up in this area of West London, so I feel really at home here.
I love the amazing old houses and fantastic views – it’s like stepping back in time.
(Sophie Ellis-Bextor)

It’s important to have your own life.
As soon as you give up too much of yourself it just turns bad.
(Kirsten Dunst)

We Can All Bring Harmony To The World

The sun rises in the sky… and hope is born within my eyes.
A rainbow forms among my tears… my faith is stronger than my fears.

We are where our thoughts take us… we are where people in our lives lead us… we are what we choose to become.

Gossip can have its way… so guard against wounding friendship… be careful in all you say.

There are some people who never tell half of what they know, and don’t know half of what they tell.

We all have the power to give our life a meaning, to use our time wisely, to hope and to dream, to love and to have faith.

Many go through life wondering if somewhere and somehow there is someone searching for them.

We can all bring harmony, happiness, understanding and enlightenment to the world… by simply sharing our warmth with others.

Wherever You Are

Wherever you are, my love will keep you safe,
My heart will build a bridge of light across both time and space.
Wherever you are, our hearts still beat as one,
I hold you in my dreams each night until your task is done.
Light up the darkness, my wondrous star,
Our hopes and dreams, my heart and yours, forever shining far.
Light up the darkness, my prince of peace,
May the stars shine all around you may your courage never cease.
Wherever I am, I will love you day by day,
I will keep you safe, cling on to faith, along the dark, dark way.
Wherever I am, I will hold on through the night,
I will pray each day a safe return, will look now to the light.
Light up the darkness, my wondrous star,
Our hopes and dreams, my heart and yours, forever shining far.
Light up the darkness, my prince of peace,
May the stars shine all around you, may your courage never cease.

(Words taken from letters that wives and girlfriends wrote to their husbands and boyfriends serving in Afghanistan)

Don’t Die A Copy

If we can stand ourself, then we can stand most things.

Knowledge may help us make a living….
Wisdom will help us make a life.

We are all born an original… be proud… be strong… be you… don’t die a copy.

Recall those days of smiles, not tears….
Count your age by friends, not years.

Those who are not thankful for what they have will not be thankful for what else they may receive.

Most of us take so many things for granted which others in the world will never have, will never see, will never do, will never experience.

Spend time thinking about what inspires you, what moves you, what gives you pleasure… and seek it out every day.

Sometimes the best way to take care of yourself is to take care of others.

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.
