Heartbreak was the impetus to me writing
poems and music in the first place. Over the years, I had my heart broken so
badly that if I didn’t find a way to get all the pain out, I was going to lose
my mind. I was crazy! Like, wanting to slash tires and smash car windows.
Crazy! I was so hurt that I had to write. - Jill
Scott

How strange it is, our little procession of
life! The child says, “When I am a big boy.” But what is that? The big boy
says, “When I grow up.” And then, grown up, he says, “When I get married.” But
to be married, what is that after all? The thought changes to “When I’m able to
retire.” And then, when retirement comes, he looks back over the landscape
traversed; a cold wind seems to sweep over it; somehow he has missed it all,
and it is gone. - Stephen Leacock
Life is distressing insomuch as we give
exaggerated importance to altogether unimportant matters. Drifting along, I
have observed that we men and women disturb ourselves about trifles,
overlooking in the needless excitement the innumerable beauties which wait upon
the way. Every ripple is not a wave, every wind is not a hurricane. Why worry
whilst we are still upon the stream? It will be time enough to trouble when we
meet the sea. - Charles Edward Jerningham
Life is like patchwork: every day there is a
fresh bit to be put on. We must understand more correctly how to fit in better
the bits needed day by day in repairing this patchwork life of ours. As it is,
the three-cornered bits too often get put into the square places; but it is
essential for man's happiness that he comprehends and unhesitatingly accepts as
a truism that it rests with us to make this patchwork to our own liking; that
we have the power to shape this life of ours more regularly, harmoniously, and
blend it more perfectly; and that our life as it is, or as it might be, depends
upon whether this be done in the right spirit. - James Platt

Success - Quotes
For

It must be admitted that the pleasure of a
long-sought, ardently desired success, dreamed of by night and toiled for by
day, is, probably, as complete as anything this side of heaven. - William Mathews
Success is a personal standard — reaching for
the highest that is in us — becoming all that we can be. If we do our best, we
are a success. Success is the maximum utilization of the ability that you have.
- Zig Ziglar
Success is terrifying. Like happiness, it is often
appreciated in retrospect. It's only later that you place it in perspective.
Years from now, I'll look back and say, "God, wasn't it wonderful?" -
Julie Andrews
Success treads on the heels of every right
effort; and though it is possible to overestimate success to the extent of
almost deifying it, as is sometimes done, still in any worthy pursuit it is
meritorious. - Samuel Smiles
Success: a marvellous stimulant, bubbling with
inspiration and incitement. But for all except the few who are strong and
steadfast, there lurks beneath the effervescence a subtle poison. - Samuel Hopkins Adams
The best way to ensure success is to start
growing today. No matter where you may be starting from, don't be discouraged;
everyone who got where he is started where he was. - John Maxwell
The thing I remember best about
"successful people" I've met is their obvious delight in what they
do. And their delight seems to have very little to do with the trappings of
worldly success. - Fred Rogers
Poverty, many can endure with dignity. Success, how
few can carry off, even with decency and without baring their innermost
infirmities before the public gaze! - Robert
Bontine Cunninghame

Happiness - Quotes
For
Google+ readers, please click here to see the post
When people say that they are happy with
their lives, they do not usually mean that they are literally joyful, or
experiencing pleasure, all the time. They mean that, upon reflection on the
balance sheet of pleasures and pains, they feel the balance to be reasonably
positive over the long term. - Daniel Nettle
So long as men strive for their individual
happiness only, so long they shall strive for it in vain, because they strive
for something which does not exist. When one will strive for all and all for
one, then, and then only, general happiness will be possible. - Norbert Lafayette Savay
It is not the level of prosperity that makes for
happiness but the kinship of heart to heart and the way we look at the world.
Both attitudes are within our power so that a man is happy so long as he
chooses to be happy, and no one can stop him. - Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
The journey to true happiness and to
happiness now is not a journey of physical distance or time;
it is one of personal "self-recovery," where we remember and
reconnect consciously to an inner potential for joy – a paradise lost – waiting
to be found. - Robert Holden

Spiritual - Quotes
I am in the process of transferring this 'Label' to my other blog - 'Spiritual, not Religious'.
Spirituality is
not religion. Religion divides people. - Rady
The foundation of all spiritual practice is love. -
The Dalai Lama
The main thing is
that we are part of the reality in ourselves to perfect one’s power of
discovery and that leads to the discovery of our organic ourselves without fear
of immersing ourselves in the earth, the sea, fire or air. - Pierre Alechinsky
The Path isn’t a straight line; it’s a spiral. You
continually come back to things that you thought you understood and see deeper
and deeper truths. - Unknown

thoughts. - Marcus Aurelius
The spiritual path
is not a solo endeavour. In fact, the very notion of a self who is trying to

spiritual friends helps us realize our inter-connectedness. - Tara Brach

tests on the spiritual road are the patience to wait for the right moment and
the courage not to be disappointed with what we encounter. - Paulo Coelho

and continue. - Sufi Saying

People will do anything, no matter how absurd, in order to avoid facing their

making the darkness conscious. - C. G.
Jung
Thus when I have
to summarize naturalized spirituality in a single phrase, it is this: the
thoughtful love of life. - Robert C. Solomon

where the universe is becoming conscious of itself. - Unknown

within and connect with themselves, they realize they are connected to the
universe and they are connected to all living things. - Armand Dimele

as you have the eyes to see and the ears to hear. - Shunryu Suzuki

I have loved and I
have lost and I’m starting to believe; it’s okay. Sometimes what we ‘think’ is
best for us, is only the beginning of what is truly ‘meant’ for us. And if I
have loved, so deeply the wrong heart; I am content in knowing the greatest
love I will ever experience, hasn’t even begun yet. - Nikki Rowe
Love is always
patient and kind. It is never jealous. Love is never boastful or conceited. It
is never rude or selfish. It does not take offense and is not resentful. Love
takes no pleasure in other people’s sins, but delights in the truth. It is
always ready to excuse, to trust, to hope, and to endure whatever comes. - Unknown
Love those who
hurt you the most, because they are probably the ones closest to you. They,
too, are on a path, and just like you they are learning to walk before they can
fly. Imagine if everybody you hurt in life turned their backs on you? You would
be playing a hell of a lot of solitaire. Love them no matter what. - Nikki
Sixx
True love survives
all shocks: an affection originally produced by admiration for unusual beauty
may not only survive the loss of that beauty, but may become more intense if
the beauty has changed into ugliness through causes that bind the lovers
together in tender associations. - Arthur
Lynch

Death - Quotes
For Google+ readers, please click on the link to

Before me now there is only one real fact –
Death. The truth I have been seeking – this truth is Death. Yet Death is also a
seeker. Forever seeking me. So – we have met at last. And I am prepared. I am
at peace. Because I will conquer death with death. - Bruce Lee
Graves are for the living, not the dead. It
gives us something to concentrate on instead of the fact that our loved one is
rotting under the ground. The dead don't care about pretty flowers and carved
marble statues. - Laurel K. Hamilton
How surely are the dead beyond death. Death is what
the living carry with them. A state of dread, like some uncanny foretaste of a
bitter memory. But the dead do not remember and nothingness is not a curse. Far
from it. - Cormac McCarthy
How terrible is Death to one man, yet to another it
appears the greatest providence in nature; even to all ages and conditions it
is the wish of some, relief of many, and the end
of all. It puts us all upon a level; the prince and peasant are
doomed to the same fate. - Wellins
Calcott
Health care is, at its core, about improving
the odds of life in its struggle against death. Of extending that game which we
will all lose, each and every one of us unto eternity, extending it another
year or month or second. - Keith
Olbermann
