Some people have a photographic memory. I've got the film.

"But I know, somehow, that only when it is dark enough can you see the stars."
-- Martin Luther King, Jr.
"It is hard to let old beliefs go. They are familiar. We are comfortable with them and have spent years building systems and developing habits that depend on them. Like a man who has worn eyeglasses so long that he forgets he has them on, we forget that the world looks to us the way it does because we have become used to seeing it that way through a particular set of lenses. Today, however, we need new lenses. And we need to throw the old ones away."
-- Kenichi Ohmae
"If you want happiness for an hour - take a nap. If you want happiness for a day - go fishing. If you want happiness for a year - inherit a fortune. If you want happiness for a lifetime - help someone else."
-- Chinese Proverb
"One of the best pieces of advice I ever got was from a horse master. He told me to go slow to go fast. I think that applies to everything in life. We live as though there aren't enough hours in the day but if we do each thing calmly and carefully we will get it done quicker and with much less stress."
-- Viggo Mortensen
"Long-term success is built on credibility and on establishing enduring, loving relationships with quality people based on mutually earned trust. Cut all ties with dishonest, negative or lazy people, and associate with people who share your values. You become who you associate with."

"One day it just clicks. You realize what's important and what isn't. You learn to care less about what other people think of you and more about what you think of yourself. You realize how far you've come and you remember when you thought things were such a mess that they'd never recover. And then you smile. You smile because you are truly proud of yourself and the person you've fought to become."

"If you want to celebrate a happy occasion, do it by helping those who are in need."
-- Mohith Agadi
Our animal friends teach us more than we could have expected and love us more than we could have hoped.. that's why we miss them more than we could have imagined.
