I wake to a mind I thought Id left,

The hell of myself, my world.

The soft nirvana of my dreams,

wrenched from my grasp.

- My agony

Ive known loneliness.

Ive known anger and hate.

Ive known despair, pain and rejection.

Ironically the only thing these have taught me is joy.

- My life so far in a nutshell

Never be in a hurry; do everything quietly and in a calm spirit. Do not lose your inner peace for anything whatsoever, even if your whole world seems upset.

*Saint Francis de Sales

Not all who wander are lost.

If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world.

Better to die on one's feet than to live on one's knees.

It is change, continuing change, inevitable change, that is the dominant factor in society today. No sensible decision can be made any longer without taking into account not only the world as it is, but the world as it will be.

*Isaac Asimov

Life is pleasant. Death is peaceful. It's the transition that's troublesome.

To insult someone we call him 'bestial.' For deliberate cruelty and nature, 'human' might be the greater insult.

*Thomas Jefferson

Few men have virtue enough to withstand the highest bidder.

If we desire to avoid insult, we must be able to repel it; if we desire to secure peace, one of the most powerful instruments of our rising prosperity, it must be known, that we are at all times ready for War.

*George Washington

'Time and memory are true artists; they remould reality nearer to the heart's desire.' *unknown

We thought, because we had power, we had wisdom.

I'm not sure exactly what a 'power thought' quote is, but it seems people periodically add stuff here so I figure I'll put in my input with some quotes that I like.

It is a miracle that curiosity survives formal education.

--Albert Einstein

Patriotism is the willingness to kill and be killed for trivial reasons.

--Bertrand Russel

Just as eating against ones will is injurious to health, so study without a liking for it spoils the memory, and it retains nothing it takes in.

--Leonardo da Vinci

Most video games are a better teacher than school because they teach you how to think, rather than what to think.

--Vladimir Kornea

Democracy is four wolves and a sheep voting on dinner.

--RAH

You are but one function of the brain.

--Rodolfo Llinas

My life has no purpose, no direction, no aim, no meaning, and yet I'm happy.

--Charles Schulz (this one describes me exactly)

What's the most important thing in life? Being free of obligations!

--Setzer, FF3(6)

True maturity is acting 'mature' among polite company, but acting like the child you know you always will be everywhere else.

--ProbePhage

I have more on my website, many silly ones as well:

'Just as eating against ones will is injurious to health, so study without a liking for it spoils the memory, and it retains nothing it takes in. andquot;

thats why i dont think much of school, its not like you suddenly know how to do everything you are told and since there is so much pressure in school its harder to like it.

'Most video games are a better teacher than school because they teach you how to think, rather than what to think.'

yea, i think so too, theyve caused me to learn quicker mental reflexes, more complex strategizing and such.

Never sit in a public place with your back to the door.

All of your problems are trivial in comparison to the inevitability of your impending death.

Anything can be accomplished with unbending intent. andnbsp;This means that every day, you do your best to achieve another step towards your goal. Some day, you will be there.

I give no credit for the quotes, because they are within me, and have become mine.

Moral indignation is jealousy with a halo.

All men have the right to dig their own graves, and I have the right to sell them the shovels.

Never believe you have plumbed the depths of any place... or of any human.

If you don't care where you are, then you aren't lost.

Life is like a game of free cell. (I feel a forest Gump moment coming on!) It seems at times I am engulfed in information and sometimes of all the information surrouning me none of it is a begining! I have to dig to find somewhere to start and then once I've found a starting point its only one in an infinite possibility of starts. I then have to search for the next step in the information super highway!

Sometimes i may be lucky and a start just presents itself or it just happens to be in the same place as me, other times I'm stranded waiting for a bus that never comes!

After that I usually feel a lot better, and no harm done.'
