Some neat quotes from other people, because I dont have much to say!

Remember, today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday.
-Dale Carnegie

Knowing trees, I understand the meaning of patience. Knowing grass, I can appreciate persistence.
-Unknown

One who condones evils is just as guilty as the one who perpetrates it.
-Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr

Dance is the hidden language of the soul of the body.
-Martha Graham

I prefer to be true to myself, even at the hazard of incurring the ridicule of others, rather than to be false, and to incur my own abhorrence.
-Frederick Douglass

No distance of place or lapse of time can lessen the friendship of those who are thoroughly persuaded of each other's worth.
-Robert Southey

Life has taught us that love does not consist in gazing at each other but in looking outward together in the same direction.
-Antoine de SaintExupery

Life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we're here we should dance.
-Unknown

Think not forever of yourselves, O Chiefs, nor of your own generation. Think of continuing generations of our families, think of our grandchildren and of those yet unborn, whose faces are coming from beneath the ground.
-Peacemaker

The greatness comes not when things go always good for you. But the greatness comes when you're really tested, when you take some knocks, some disappointments, when sadness comes. Because only if you've been in the deepest valley can you ever know how magnificent it is to be on the highest mountain.
-Richard M. Nixon


The Long Boat, By STANLEY KUNITZ

When his boat snapped loose
from its mooring, under
the screaking of the gulls,
he tried at first to wave
to his dear ones on shore,
but in the rolling fog
they had already lost their faces.
Too tired even to choose
between jumping and calling,
somehow he felt absolved and free
of his burdens, those mottoes
stamped on his name-tag:
conscience, ambition, and all
that caring.
He was content to lie down
with the family ghosts
in the slop of his cradle,
buffeted by the storm,
endlessly drifting.
Peace! Peace!
To be rocked by the Infinite!
As if it didn't matter
which way was home;
as if he didn't know
he loved the earth so much
he wanted to stay forever.
