May those who love us, love us.

And those that don't love us,

May God turn their hearts.

And if He doesn't turn their hearts,

May he turn their ankles,

So we'll know them by their limping.

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help....

Her reputation was her livelihood.

I'm a pirate, love. By nature and by choice!

My inner voice sometimes has an accent!

My wont? A delicious rip in time...

Old Age and treachery will overcome Youth and skill. - Robert Shaw :P

Behind every great man is a woman. Telling him he's not so hot. Harrison Ford :P

People are often unreasonable and self-centered.

Forgive them anyway.

If you are kind, people may accusue you

of selfish, ulterior motives.

Be kind Anyway.

If you are successful, you will win some

false friends and some true enemies.

Succeed anyway.

If you are honest and Frank;

People may cheat you.

Be honest and Frank anyway.

What you spend years building,

someone could destroy overnight.

Build anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness

there may be jealousy.

Be happy anyway.

The Good you do today,

people will often forget tomorrow

Do good anyway.

Give the World the best you have,

And it may never be enough.

Give the World the best you've got anyway.

You see, in the final analysis,

It is between you and your God;

It was never between you and them anyway. = Mother Teresa

Well, you may not realize it but your looking at the remains of what was once a very handsome woman!

There are two things that I want you to make up your minds to: first, that you are going to have a good time as long as you live - I have no use for the sour-faced man - and next, that you are going to do something worthwhile, that you are going to work hard and do the things you set out to do."

~Black Hearted Pearl

The optimist expects the wind. The pessimist complains about the wind. The realist adjusts the sails.
