“All that history, the love & laughter, is designed for youth.
It is what keeps the story of who we are alive from one generation to the next.
It ensures our indelible mark in the souls of generations we will never have the pleasure of holding in a warm embrace.
Life is short people.
Before you know it, another decade will pass,
people you love will be lost to this world,
?and all that will be left of them is what we carry in our hearts.”
“An insincere and evil friend is more to be feared than a wild beast;
A wild beast may wound your body,
but an evil friend will wound your mind.”
…Buddha
Don’t wait for someone to bring you flowers.
Plant your own garden and decorate your own soul.
“Be courteous to all, but intimate with few,
and let those few be well tried
before you give them your confidence.
True friendship is a plant of slow grow,
and must undergo and withstand the shocks of adversity
before it is entitled to the appellation.”
…George Washington
It often shows an excellent command of language to say nothing.
…Karol Newlin
You are only helpless while your nail polish is wet.
Even then, you could pull a trigger if you had to!
“I wish I had the cure for the way people are.”
