Eternal Spring Is In My Heart

We fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen.
For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

Never argue with an idiot.
Bystanders can’t tell the difference.

We can’t change the direction of the wind.
But we can adjust the sails to reach our destination.

Never deny your convictions just for the sake of peace and quiet.

Social injustice is such a familiar phenomenon.
It has such a sturdy constitution that is readily regarded as something natural even by its victims.
( Marcel Ayme, 1902-1967 )

All of us could take a lesson from the weather.
It pays no attention to criticism.

The best night spot in the world is a comfortable bed.

Just because I don’t care doesn’t mean I don’t understand.

If you tell the truth, you don’t need a long memory.

Every problem has a solution, although it may not be the outcome that was originally hoped for or expected.
( Alice Hoffman )

Life can only be understood backwards.
But it must be lived forwards.

You are only as good as the best thing you have ever done.

Don’t say things that don’t have to be said.

Do it now, for time won’t wait.
Tomorrow it may be too late.

The reason for my starting a diary is that I have no real friend.
( Anne Frank )

The easiest person in the world to deceive is yourself.

Man’s proud of his machines.
But how do they compare with one seed flying free.
That settles in the ground, takes root, and becomes a tree.

Blessed is he who expects nothing.
For he shall never be disappointed.

It’s not always the song that makes you feel emotional, it’s sometimes the people that come into your mind when you hear it.

Sometimes life just walks up to you, excuses itself and punches you in the face.
( Mike Kunda )

Give a lie twenty four hours start and you can never overtake it.

Sometimes, all we can do is lie in bed, and hope to fall asleep before we fall apart.

Music is the eye of the ear.

Whatever you do, do cautiously, and look to the end.

Remember that the happiest people are not those getting more, but those giving more.
( H. Jackson Brown Jr. )

One mouth does nothing without another.

Growing old is something you do if you’re lucky.

It’s a shame that when we feel really sad there is not always a shoulder to lean on.

Life’s tragedy is that we get old too soon and wise too late.

Do not focus only on your needs.
Focus on your purpose.
( Deborah Brodie )

I have decided to live forever or die in the attempt.

And in the end, it’s not the years in your life that count.
It’s the life in your years.

The first step to eternal life is you have to die.

I think with my heart and love with my brain. 
( Fernando Briceño )

Losing your temper doesn’t get rid of it.

How small is man, how weak his strength and power to understand.
There’s so much to make him humble in nature’s wonderland.

A man is lucky if he realises he’s a fool before it’s too late.

Protecting yourself is self-defence.
Protecting others is warriorship.
( Bohdi Sanders )

The wicked are always ungrateful.

If you can show by word or deed that you do truly care.
Please do it now, for if you wait, another day may be too late.

Beware the man who knows the answer before he understands the question.

The greatest threat to the good people of this planet is the retreat from reason and common sense, and the erosion of morals and decency.
( Eileen Hutchison )

You never learn much from hearing yourself talk.

People will forget what you said.
People will forget what you did.
But people will never forget how you made them feel.

Customs and traditions, without reason, are but ancient errors.

Never give in.
Never – in anything great or small, large or petty..
Never give in.
( Winston Churchill )

You’re always with yourself, so you might as well enjoy the company.

The world is divided into two different sorts of people.
Those who divide the world into two sorts of people,
And those that don’t.

When you win, say nothing.
When you lose, say less.

It is no use saying: “We are doing our best”.
You have got to succeed in doing what is necessary.
( Winston Churchill )

Differences of habit and language are nothing if our aims are identical and our hearts open.

It is better to see once than to hear one hundred times.

A word spoken is an arrow let fly.

A quiet tongue makes a wise head.

Winter is on my head but eternal spring is in my heart.
( Victor Hugo )

You don’t need to be perfect.
Just be an excellent example of being human.

I am obliged by your opinions, and retain my own.

When you are arguing with a fool, two fools are arguing.

Anyone who keeps the ability to see beauty never grows old.

Life is wonderful.
It’s a gift to be alive, to see the sun and breathe the air.
And there isn’t really anything else.
( Michael Crichton )

When we are well it is easy to give good advice to the sick.

Some fools have knowledge but no sense.

Many would be cowards if they had courage enough.

A fool thinks himself to be wise.
But a wise man knows himself to be a fool.

Live and learn and pass it on.
( H. Jackson Brown Jr. )

A fool always finds a greater fool to admire him.

It is nothing short of genius that uses one word when twenty will say the same thing.

Sometimes a majority simply means that all the fools are on the same side.

It is almost impossible to find those who admire us lacking in taste.

Try not to become a person of success, but rather try to become a person of value.
( Albert Einstein )
