Hi Just been doin a lil compilation of quotes and poems which have inspired me greatly. Not all of them are mine doe.,Feel free to add your quotes or poems that you think will be a source of inspiration to someone. cheers. My favourite quotes The human heart knows things the eyes can't see,and feels things the mind cannot understand Cinderall is a living proof that shoes can change your life Laughter doesn't sometimes means happiness,sometimes its just a mask. You cannot make someone love you, you can only make yourself someone who can be loved.

Continued . . . . Your circumstances dont deine you. love everyone,trust few and do wrong to no one. what we think, we become. If common sense is so common why is there so many people without it. Don't count on the days make the days count and don't wait for a perfect moment . . . take a moment and make it perfect |

We must never get too consumed in our own problems not to realise that others have them too~ You must take personal responsibility. You cannot change the circumstances, the seasons or the wind, but you can change yourself. True friendship is when two friends can walk in opposite directions, yet remain side by side. The greatest feeling in life is to find someone who knows your faults and weaknesses but still willing to embrace you with so much love without doubt. To be trusted is a greater compliment than being loved. Don't say goodbye, Cause goodbye means walking away, And walking away means forgetting -Peter Pan If you look at what you have in life, You'll always have more. If you look at what you don't have in life, You'll never have enough. |

"Having a wider heart and mind is more important than having a larger house. Happiness does not come from having much, but from being attached to little." "When the power of love is greater than the love of power,the world will know true peace" - Jimi Hendrix "Never leave the person you Love for the person you like because the person you like will leave you for the person they Love." says what doesn't kill you will make you stronger , Maturity is knowing you were an idiot in the past, wisdom is knowing you'll be an idiot in the future, common sense is knowing you should try not to be one now. |

If you don't like something change it; if you can't change it, change the way you think about it. - Mary Engelbreit What counts is not necessarily the size of the dog in the fight --it's the size of the fight in the dog. - Dwight Eisenhower Have fun and no regrets. Make memories and love without fear. Enjoy life cause in the end the journey is the destination. People will forget what you have said and they will forget what you have done--but they will never forget the way you made them feel. It's hard to fake a smile when your heart can barely breathe. The world will try to tell you who you are, until you stand up && tell the world who your gonna be. Confidence doesn't come from thinking you're perfect or flawless. That's arrogance. Confidence comes from appreciating the beauty of your texture. The most memorable people in life will be the ones who loved you when you weren't very lovable. *Unknown** I know nothing of any certainty but the sight of stars makes me dream The happiness of life is made up of little things, a smile, a hug and a moment of shared time with friends. "Scars remind us of where we've been. They don't have to dictate where we're going." If you continue to do what you have always done, you'll continue to get what you have always got. |

It's hard to find the balance when you are in love. You're lost in the middle cause you have to decide between mind & heart. Heart is the engine of your body but brain is the engine of your life. The principles of lust Are easy to understand Do what you feel Feel until the end The principles of lust Are burned in your mind Do what you want Do it until you find Love, Life is a wheel of changes But changes are life And someday we will have to say good bye But our spirit will survive |

THE CROSS OF CHANGES If you understand or if you don't If you believe or if you doubt There's a universal justice And the eyes of truth Are always watching you. THE ODYSSEY OF MIND Things are changing But nothing changes And still there are changes There is no teacher Who can teach anything new He can just help us to remember The things we always knew. PRISM OF LIFE Let us try to live our lost illusions They're the sun at night If we don't we'll never taste The spice of life And when it seems that we're in a dead end street There's no reason to cry Cause we have a helping hand who's always aside Forever light. THE DREAM OF THE DOLPHIN In every colour there's the light. In every stone sleeps a crystal. Remember the Shaman, when he used to say: "Man is the dream of the dolphin". |

THE SOUND OF GOODBYE Everyface i see Is cold as ice Everything i touch is pale Ever since i lost imagination Like a stream that flows into the sea I am lost for all eternity Ever since you took your love away from me Some times the sound of goodbye Is louder than any drumbeat BEYOND THE INVISIBLE I look into the mirror See myself, I'm over me I need space for my desires Have to dive into my fantasies I know as soon as I'll arrive Everything is possible Cause no one has to hide Beyond the invisible |

more quotes. . . It isn't what you have, or who you are, or where you are, or what you are doing that makes you happy or unhappy. It is what you think about~ Dale Carnegie "If you can't fly, RUN! If you can't run, WALK! If you can't walk, CRAWL! But by all means keep MOVING! - Martin Luther king Jr. There's always, A little emotion behind every i don't care, a little pain behind every it's ok quotes, "To grow, you must be willing to let your present and future be totally unlike your past. Your history is not your destiny." "Be an original in a world full of copies." - unknown "Care about what other people think and you'll be their prisoner for life." James Frey -A million little pieces |

TIMES OF OUR LIFES-PVD There's a time for us to let go There's a time for holding on A time to speak, a time to listen There's a time for us to go There's a time for lying low down There's a time for getting high A time for peace, a time for fighting A time to live, a time to die A time to scream, a time for silence A time for truth against the lies A time for faith, a time for science There's a time for us to shine There is a time for mis-believing There's a time to understand A time for hurt, a time for healing A time you run, to make a stand |
Re: My Book Of Inspiration by Nobody: 6:53pm On May 16, 2010 |
If someone you know lies to everyone around them and you think they are not lying to you, you are just lying to yourself. |
Re: My Book Of Inspiration by Nobody: 7:00pm On May 16, 2010 |
HEART BREAK Thinking of what we lived together Of all the things I gave You said our love would last forever And by the time you left me I was like your slave The love I gave you, had driven me so blind I was just a doll you played with like a child And now that you're gone, now that you broke our affair Don't count on me to look for you everywhere |

Sometimes being strong and moving on is the only choice you have "My mum always said that the things we lose always come back to us in unexpected ways." -Luna Lovegood Murphy's Fifth Law: If anything absolutely can NOT go wrong, it will anyway. After-ism (n) - A concise, clever statement you don't think of until too late. |

All human actions have one or more of these seven causes: chance, nature, compulsions, habit, reason, passion, desire. - Aristotle "Cats can work out mathematically the exact place to sit that will cause most inconvenience." says we should measure life not by the number of breaths we take but by the number of moments that take our breath away! "Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass, it's about learning to dance in the rain. I think I'm finally learning how to dance." Life is to short to stay out of trouble, so get in trouble and do it with the one you love!" Imperfection Is Beauty, Madness is Genius, & It's Better To Be Absolutely Ridiculous Than Absolutely Boring" |

It takes who you were and where you've been to make you the person you are today. "People pay for what they do, and still more, for what they have allowed themselves to become. And they pay for it simply: by the lives they lead." "Never underestimate a woman's ability to make you do something you don't want to do" -- Seth Glass its not about what has happened in the past, its about what we can make of the future! |

If you believe in light, it's because of obscurity If you believe in joy, it's because of sadness And if you believe in God, it's because of the devil |

QUOTES I'm the author of my life & I'm writing it in pen. At the beginning of new chapters, I look back at the mistakes & learn from them to make the next one better. "The happiest people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the best of everything they have!" Unknown The trouble with naked dancing is that not everything stops when the music does. Just because I am not saying it out loud does not mean I am not thinking it! Happiness is a lifestyle, Love is a journey, And sadness is a decision The people you want most are right in front of you. The people you need the most are beside you. And the people you love the most are holding your hand. "I don't wish to be everything to everyone, but I would like to be something to someone." I'm Pretty, but I'm not beautiful. I sin but I'm not the Devil. I'm good, but I'm no an angel- Marilyn Monroe "It's not that some people have willpower and some don't. It's that some people are ready to change and others are not." ~ James Gordon The only thing that will make you happy, is being happy with who you are, and not who people think you are. ~ Goldie Hawn Anything can happen to me tomorrow, but at least nothing more can happen to me yesterday Progress always involves risk; you can't steal second base and keep your foot on first. "Your mind creates your reality. If you expect nothing, you open up the universe to give you options. If you expect the worst, you usually get it." True strength is being able to hold it all together when everyone expects you to fall apart Every person you meet is like a fascinating story you've never read before. I thought a thought that I thought I had thought but the thought that I had thought wasn't the thought that I had thought I had thought. Time is free, but it's priceless. You can't own it, but you can use it. You can't keep it, but you can spend it. Once you've lost it you can never get it back. falling down is not defeat, defeat is when you refuse to stand up x You only get what you give. If you don't give, you don't get. "The beauty of the second amendment is that it will not be needed until they try to take it." -Thomas Jefferson Life is a collection of memories so remember the past, live in the present, and welcome the future with open arms. |

nice one luiz. preety-good stuff @Topic one of ma fav. quotes : I dropped a tear in the Ocean, when they find it I'll stop lovin You |

^^ tanks chibabe. .i love your quote too SUNCREEN BY BAZ LUHRMANN Ladies and Gentlemen If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be it. The long term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by scientists, whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable than my own meandering experience, I will dispense this advice now. Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth; oh nevermind; you will not understand the power and beauty of your youth until they have faded. But trust me, in 20 years you'll look back at photos of yourself and recall in a way you can't grasp now how much possibility lay before you and how fabulous you really looked, You're not as fat as you Imagine. Don't worry about the future; or worry, but know that worrying is as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubblegum. The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind. The kind that blindside you at 4pm on some idle Tuesday. Do one thing everyday that scares you. |

Continued, Sing. Don't be reckless with other people's hearts, don't put up with people who are reckless with yours. Floss. Don't waste your time on jealousy; Sometimes you're ahead, Sometimes You're behind. The race is long, and in the end, it's only with yourself. Remember the compliments you receive, forget the insults; If you Succeed in doing this, tell me how. Keep your old love letters, throw away your old bank statements. Stretch. Don't feel guilty if you don't know what you want to do with your Life. The most interesting people I know didn't know at 22 what they wanted to do with their lives, some of the most interesting 40 year olds I know still don't. Be kind to your knees, you'll miss them when they're gone. Maybe you'll marry, maybe you won't, maybe you'll have children, maybe you won't, maybe you'll divorce at 40, maybe you'll dance the funky chicken on your 75th wedding anniversary. Whatever you do, don't Congratulate yourself too much or berate yourself either. Your choices are half chance, so are everybody else's. Enjoy your body, Use it every way you can, Don't be afraid of it, or what other people Think of it, It's the greatest instrument you'll ever own, |
