Mission Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 "People seem not to see that their opinion of the world is also a confession of character." –Ralph Waldo Emerson "People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are. I don't believe in circumstances. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and, if they can't find them, make them." - George Bernard Shaw "Life is either a daring adventure or it is nothing." -Helen Adams Keller "Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent." -Calvin Coolidge "There are no hopeless situations in life; there are only men who have grown hopeless about them." –Clare Booth Luce "And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music." -Friedrich Nietzsche Mycroft: "My brother has the brain of a scientist or a philosopher, yet he elects to be a detective. What might we deduce about his heart?" John: "I don't know." Mycroft: "Neither do I. But initially he wanted to be a pirate." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackbead Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 “We waste so much energy agonizing over the fact that we will never become what we want to be that we only have the strength to become what we have to be and never realize the ultimate glory of becoming what we can be.” John Nagle "In the end, it's not the gold that sets our sails, 'Tis freedom and the promise of a better life That raises our black flags."

Red Cat Jenny Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iron Bess Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Old Age and treachery will overcome Youth and skill. - Robert Shaw Behind every great man is a woman. Telling him he's not so hot. Harrison Ford 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!

Black Hearted Pearl Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
