These are great guys! Just what I needed! My time in America is whittling down and things aren’t falling in to place like I would like them too. Actually things are sucking and I’m on the brink of going mad....
Here are some of my favorites:
"If you reveal your secrets to the wind, you should not blame the wind for revealing them to the trees."
- Kahlil Gibran
"The Images Of Western Women Have Apparently Been Reinforced By A Small But Steady Diet Of Old US Sitcoms And TV Movies."
~Valentine M. Moghadam
"Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense."
~Buddha (536 B.C.-483 B.C.)
"So many gods, so many creeds;
So many paths that wind and wind,
While just the art of being kind
Is all the sad world needs."
-Ella Wheeler Wilcox (1850-1919)
"If the pressure didn't get me then, it won't get me now."
~ G Love
The last one is going into a tattoo.

Three favorite quotes:
"Whatever you think you can do or dream you can do begin it boldness has genius power and magic in it."
-Goethe
"Success isn't the absence of failure. It's the absence of envy."
-Herodotus
"There's no education like adversity"
-Benjamin Disraeli

Oh ya I forgot this one. It's a classic!
When the power of love overcomes the love of power... the world will know peace.

These have always been my favorite quotes:
Life is either a daring adventure or nothing. Security does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than exposure.
Helen Keller
Do not be disheartened by your imperfections, but always rise up with fresh courage.
St. Francis de Sales
Pray that your loneliness may spur you into finding something to live for, great enough to die for.
Dag Hammarskjold

NO ONE
Ever works out and REGRETS it.
You never go for a RUN,
And then when you're FINISHED,
WISH you would have just stayed home,
You NEVER climb a mountain,
Get to the TOP, and say,
"I should of just been CONTENT
to STAY
Where I WAS."
I found this one on a Nike postcard years ago, I tried to keep the original formatting. It's always been my favorite quote, so true!

Don't look for someone who you could live with. Look for someone who you couldn't live without.
