When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy.’ They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life. |

Karma and time
When a bird is alive ,it eats ants
When it's dead , ants eat the bird .
One tree can make a million matchsticks
But one matchstick is needed to burn a million trees.
Time and circumstance can change at any time.
Don't devalue or hurt anyone in life .
You may be powerful today , but remember time is more powerful than you !
Be good and do good !

But I promise you this when you slip and you will, those you have helped will catch you because you cared for them. |

Was at a clinic yesterday with my son and the Dr asked my son what did he want to be when he grew up his reply was a surgeon. When leaving I asked the Dr if she had any advice for my son's future expecting the good old work hard and study at school and you can be anything you want to be but oh no what did she have to say? watch ER !!!!

"Now is not now, it was then. Zen saying...
Churchill and a woman arguing...
"Sir, if you were my husband I would poison your coffee. "
"Madam, if you were my wife I would drink it!""
I think that was Churchill and Bessie Braddock who were regularly at each others throat. The other one attributed to the same pair was when at a drinks reception she said.
Prime Minister, you are d*unk!!
He replied.
And in the morning I will be sober and you will still be ugly. |

"When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy.’ They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life.
Brilliant advice from your mum, brilliant response from you, sadly lacking response from teachers.. Hmmmm "

No, it isn't. It IS from Hamlet. It is when Hamlet, the Prince of Denmark, has arranged a play to be performed to test the king's reaction to a murder. His mother, Gertrude, says the line about one of the female characters. If I remember correctly the name of the play (within the play) is 'Murder Of Gonzago' but Hamlet calls it 'The Mousetrap' as he is trying to trap the king with it. |

I have 2. My nan always used to tell me
"Be more concerned with your character then your reputation. Your character is who you are, your reputation, merely what others think of you."
I later found out it was said by John Wooden.
Also this one, not so much a quote, more a poem I think.
"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."

"Karma and time
When a bird is alive ,it eats ants
When it's dead , ants eat the bird .
One tree can make a million matchsticks
But one matchstick is needed to burn a million trees.
Time and circumstance can change at any time.
Don't devalue or hurt anyone in life .
You may be powerful today , but remember time is more powerful than you !
Be good and do good !

How many roads must a man walk down
Before they call him a man?
And how many deaths will it take
Til we know
That too many people have died?

The answer is blowing in the wind.
