"What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us."- Oliver Wendell Holmes

I came across this the other day: " I will not die an unlived life. I will not live in fear of falling or catching fire.I choose to inhabit my days, to allow my living to open me, to make me less afraid, more accessible, to loosen my heart until it becomes a wing, a torch, a promise.I choose to risk my significance; to live so that which comes to me as seed goes to the next as blossom and that which comes to me as blossom, goes on as fruit." Dawna Markova

" Live Simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak Kindly. Leave the rest to God." -no clue

answers from San Antonio on

Many of my shorter favorites already mentioned!

Some others:

Life is no straight and easy corridor along which we travel free and unhampered, but a maze of passages, through which we must seek our way, at times, lost and confused, now and again checked in a blind alley. But always, if we have faith, a door will open for us, not perhaps one that we ourselves would ever have thought of, but one that will ultimately prove good for us.
A.J. Cronin

The greatest evil is not done in those sordid dens of evil that
Dickens loved to paint but is conceived and ordered (moved, seconded,
carried, and minuted) in clear, carpeted, warmed, well-lighted offices,
by quiet men with white collars and cut fingernails and smooth-shaven
cheeks who do not need to raise their voices." ... C.S. Lewis

What you give out you get back tenfold.
What goes around comes around-the law of Karma

The following are quotes from my own writings

I am a maiden,I am here to learn
Whatever I learn I will pass on

Life not lived
Can leave a shell never easily forgotten

Passing on the message
Old of age,the woman
Her journey rocky,many roads unknown
Circling to the ancient shell
Many tales to tell.

You see it so clear
You see the real me.

So easy to float in a world intoxicated with fantasy
Losing the energy,wasting this life.

My confession please,the black shawl upon your head.
I thank you for your strength
Peace and love,a gift from me
Inside your secret place

The skies an ally,Universe of truth
Guidence of the moon
Cycles of the mysreies
Nature always the stronger
Does man know

A celtic angel,different shades
The wild,entices the dark sides
Unshielded from experience
The woman is whole

In this world many evils
Narrow minds
Riddled with fools meddling with the web.

Like the wind be free
Soak the energy to your being.

Again we meet
This time understanding your precious words.
