Inspiration Point

(Okay, no one every gets the words to this exactly right, including me, so when I found a copy of it, I had to post it.)
If you love something, set it free.
If it returns, it's yours forever.
If it doesn't, it wasn't yours to begin with.

"Love is like an Oreo. If it gets too mushy, you make a mess!"--Angie

Insecurity knocks from time to time
Let it in.
Offer it a cup of coffee.
Get to know it.
Then take your sugar spoon and poke it's eye out.
(Thanks, Marsala..thought it was cute)

Goals . .

If I can stop one heart from breaking
I shall not live in vain.
If I can ease one life the aching,
Or cool one pain,
Or help a fainting robin
Unto his nest again,
I shall not live in vain.
--Emily Dickinson

"Our greatest glory is not in never failing, but in rising up every time we fail."
--Ralph Waldo Emerson

"'An it harm none, do what ye will"

Importance of friends . .

"Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their work: If one falls down, his friend can help him up. But pity the man who falls and has no one to help him up! Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm. But how can one keep warm alone? Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken."--Ecclesiastes 4:9-12
(Sorry, the reference I had on here before was incorrect, although I knew what it was supposed to be, must have been sleep-typing..lol)

Social Injustice . .

(I'm not sure this belongs on this page . .but I like it . .It is the author's preface to Les Miserables. It is a wonderful book, and I encourage everyone to read it. Take from this what meaning you will . . .)

"So long as there shall exist, by reason of law and custom, a social condemnation, which, in the face of civilization, artificially creates hell on earth, and complicates a human destiny which is divine, with human fatality; so long as the three problems of this age--the degredation of man by poverty, the ruin of women by starvation, and the dwarfing of children by physical and spiritual night--are not solved; so long as, in certain regions, social asphyxia shall be possible; in other words, and from a yet more extended point of view, so long as ignorance and misery remain on earth, books like this cannot be useless." --Victor Hugo

If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away. -- Thoreau, 1817-1862
