| My Book Of Quotes by sexyLeamon(f): 9:44am On Aug 17, 2009 |
pls know all of em are not mine but most are Yesterday’s nightmare is today’s worries and tomorrow’s future Time gives us life and yet it destroys many Other than life and death, there is no heaven or hell Tearful eyes are the symptoms of a broken heart An empty soul, a broken heart; it defines the lives of many A shadow, a steel blade, a piercing scream, blood…and the sorrow of it all The eternal enemy will get us all, today, tomorrow…one day! Slow and steady wins the race. Life is a race, no wonder it’s slow and steady…no one wants to die! Life is a race…we’re all competing to die… If the biggest purpose of life is death, then we shall eagerly await to fulfil this purpose. All the sadness from this life will not be remembered in the next…but neither will the happiness. No one knows the demented secrets hidden behind a forced smile. It is wrong to judge from a disguise, because there is always something different on the inside. Crying eyes relive the heart of its tormented pain. In the eyes of evil, there is no evil…it is just a misconception led by others When a heart is broken, it causes unbearable pain but it is that very pain which has the power to mend the broken heart. |

quotes about memories Memories are the treasures that we keep locked deep within the storehouse of our souls, to keep our hearts warm when we are lonely. Take care of all your memories. For you cannot relive them. I cannot say good-bye to those whom I have grown to love, for the memories we have made will last a lifetime and never know a good-bye Memories are the best souvenirs. A moment lasts all of a second, but the memory lives on forever. We do not remember days, we remember moments. We do not know the value of our moments until they have become a memory. Feelings change - memories don't. Every man's memory is his private literature. Memory is the mother of all wisdom. Memory is the diary that we all carry about with us. Memory in youth is active and easily impressible; in old age it is comparatively callous to new impressions, but still retains vividly those of earlier years. There’s no disappointment in memory, and one’s exaggerations are always on the good side. Memory is a way of holding on to the things you love, the things you are, the things you never want to lose. |

quotes on Disappointment Anytime you suffer a setback or disappointment, put your head down and plow ahead Disappointment is the nurse of wisdom Disappointments are to the soul what a thunder-storm is to the air If I am to meet with a disappointment, the sooner I know it, the more of life I shall have to wear it off Disappointment is the name, we give our mistakes The sudden disappointment of a hope leaves a scar which the ultimate fulfillment of that hope never entirely removes. Expect nothing and accept everything and you will never be disappointed. You may be disappointed if you fail, but you are doomed if you don't try. Expect nothing live life as it comes and you meet with less disappointment in life Disappointment should always be taken as a stimulant, and never viewed as a discouragement. |

Quotes on Life Never tell your problems to anyone, 20% don't care and the other 80% are glad you have them. When life gives you a hundred reasons to cry, show life that you have a thousand reasons to smile. Work like you don't need the money, love like you've never been hurt and dance like no one is watching. Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift. That's why it's called the present. Don't take life too serious. You'll never escape it alive anyway. Remember the past, plan for the future, but live for today, because yesterday is gone and tomorrow may never come. Be nice to people on your way up because you meet them on your way down. If you obey all the rules, you'll miss all the fun Live with no excuses and love with no regrets Life comes with no guarantees, no time outs, no second chances. you just have to live life to the fullest. How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives. good life is inspired by love and guided by knowledge. Life is like an onion: You peel it off one layer at a time, and sometimes you weep. Life gives us brief moments with another, but sometimes in those brief moment we get memories that last a life time. Some times you have to go through the pain to experience the joy Some of the greater things in life are unseen thats why you close your eyes when you kiss, cry, or dream. Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind. Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass, it's learning to dance in the rain. I can not change my past, but I can fix my present and change my future in life, You've got to take the good with the bad, smile with the sad, love what you've got, and remember what you had. Dream as if you'll live forever. Live as if you'll die today. Never allow someone to be your priority while you're just their option Often in life we forget the things we should remember and remember the things we should forget. sometimes we just have to go with whatever, happens, happens. Life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets. So love the people who treat you right, forget about the ones who don't and believe that everything happens for a reason. Life is like a d*** when it gets hard F*** IT! In the end everyone will hurt you, it's up to you to decide who is worth the pain. Just being yourself, being who you are, is a successful rebellion. Take life with a grain of salt, a slice of lime, and a shot of tequila Don't just look, observe, Don't just swallow, taste, Don't just sleep, dream, Don't just think, feel, Don't just exist, live, Everything you want comes after you stop looking for it, Life is a game, play it; Life is a challenge, Meet it; Life is an opportunity, Capture it. Don't listen or think about anything other people say about you. Just live your life your way remember you will die your own death! Life is Strange--Nothing Lasts And People Change Moving on isn't hard, it's what you leave behind that makes it so difficult. Our eyes are placed in front because it is more important to look ahead than to look back 2 Likes |

Nice thread leamom. Here are some i've been collecting since '01. Some of them are also mine but most of them are not. *when a window of opportunity is closed, we stare too long at it to notice that the door has been opened. *losers give in to defeat by not starting, winners outrun defeat by not stopping. *dont be afraid to fail, it will serve as your proof that you have tried. *God wants us to meet a few wrong pple so that when we finally meet the right ones, we will be grateful for the gift. *you cannot make someone love you, all you can do is be someone that can be loved, the rest is up to them. *giving someone your love is never an assurance that they'll love you back, give it time to grow in their and if it doesn't, be content it grew in yours. *only two kinds of pple fail, those who listen to nobody and those who listen to everybody. *a person who wales up in the morning and becomes great did not sleep in the night. *great minds discuss ideas, average minds discuss events, small minds discuss people. *learn from others' mistake, you cannot live long enough to make them yourself. *youth is not the time of life as you're as young as your faith and as old as your doubt, as young as your self-confidence and as old as your fear, as young as your hope and as old as your despair, as young as your strength and as old as your weakness, as young as your as your past and as old as your future. *the most fertile soil in the world is the cemetery. *life cannot defeat a man who's in love with writing for life itself is a writer's love. *the problem that infuriates man the most is the one assigned him to solve. *losers focus on what they are going thru, champions focus on what they are going to. |

quotes on Beauty No object is so beautiful that, under certain conditions, it will not look ugly. Beauty is not in the face; beauty is a light in the heart. Beauty comes as much from the mind as from the eye. Everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it. simplicity is beautiful. Beauty, is the shadow of God on the universe. Beauty - in projection and perceiving - is 99.9% attitude. It's beauty that captures your attention; personality which captures your heart. The recipe for beauty is to have less illusion and more Soul, to retreat from the belief of pain or pleasure in the body into the unchanging calm and glorious freedom of spiritual harmony. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Beauty lies in the specific looks of a person, rather than the object, because different people feel beauty in different things. A beautiful face is a letter of recommendation. you must carry beauty in your heart in order to reflect it outwards. |

quotes on discipline He that cannot obey, cannot command. self-respect is the fruite of discipline Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishments. The more disciplined you become, the easier life gets. He who lives without discipline dies without honour. Make it a point to do something every day that you don't want to do. This is the golden rule for acquiring the habit of doing your duty without pain. The common denominator of success - the secret of success of every man who has ever been successful - lies in the fact that he formed the habit of doing things that failures don't like to do. Strength of character means strong feelings, and strong command over them. This is where foresight, judgment, and will-power unite to form the most vital and important cement of a strong personality. Successful people do what unsuccessful people are not willing to do, and that often means living outside the limits of one's comfort zone. Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishment. Trials, temptations, disappointments -- all these are helps instead of hindrances, if one uses them rightly. They not only test the fibre of a character, but strengthen it. Every conquered temptation represents a new fund of moral energy. Every trial endured and weathered in the right spirit makes a soul nobler and stronger than it was before. The more you discipline yourself to persist on a major task, the more you like and respect yourself, and the higher is your self-esteem. A person who is trained to consider his actions, to undertake them deliberately, is in so far forth disciplined. Add to this ability a power to endure in an intelligently chosen course in the face of distraction, confusion, and difficulty, and you have the essence of discipline. Discipline is remembering what you want. Loving discipline encourages a child to respect other people and live as a responsible, constructive citizen. Respect is not everyone cup of tea. First we form habits, then they form us. Conquer your bad habits or they will conquer you. If we don't discipline ourselves, the world will do it for us. It's not the work that's hard, it's the discipline. 1 Like |

quotes on Mistake/failure Mistakes are a part of being human. Appreciate your mistakes for what they are: precious life lessons that can only be learned the hard way. Unless it's a fatal mistake, which, at least, others can learn from. No one who cannot rejoice in the discovery of his own mistakes deserves to be called a scholar. Assert your right to make a few mistakes. If people can't accept your imperfections, that's their fault. Mistakes are lessons of wisdom. I make mistakes, and is sometimes out of control, but if you can't handle me at me worst, you don't deserve me at my best Never say, "oops." Always say, "Ah, interesting. Just because you make mistakes doesn't mean you are one. Admit your errors before someone else exaggerates them. From the errors of others, a wise man corrects his own. Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new. Failure is only the opportunity to begin again, only this time more wisely. If you have made mistakes, even serious ones, there is always another chance for you. What we call failure is not the falling down, but the staying down. Failures are divided into two classes - those who thought and never did, and those who did and never thought The mystery of existence is the connection between our faults and our misfortunes. Only those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly. We learn wisdom from failure much more than from success. We often discover what will do, by finding out what will not do; and probably he who never made a mistake never made a discovery. Good people are good because they've come to wisdom through failure. We get very little wisdom from success. There are no failures - just experiences and your reactions to them. |

quotes on luck The only thing sure about luck is that it will change. Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity. The day you decide to work hard, is the day your luck will wake up. people always call it luck when you've acted more sensibly than they have. the only thing that can overcome bad luck, i hard work. lUCK IS WHEN OPPORTUNITY KNOCKS AND YOU ANSWER. Luck is believing you're lucky Men of action are favoured by the goddess of luck there is only one way in which you can change your luck and that is by altering your thoughts. one-half of life is luck, the other half is discipline-and thats the important half, for without discipline you wouldn't know what to do with luck. Good luck is a lazy man’s estimate of a worker’s success. The amount of good luck coming your way depends on your willingness to act. |
