Good Quotes
This is a collection of quotes contributed by my friends and compiled by me. i have collected some as well as added some, on my own. i have classified them under general headings:
FRIENDSHIP & ATTITUDE
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A real friend is someone who walks in when the rest of the world walks out.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“true friendship isn't about being there when it's convenient; it's about being there when it's
not.”
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“Whenever you're in conflict with someone, there is one factor that can make the difference
between damaging your relationship and deepening it. That factor is attitude.”
William James
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Don't walk in front of me, I may not follow; Don't walk behind me, I may not lead; Walk beside
me, and just be my friend.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For every minute you are angry you lose sixty seconds of happiness.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“Live life fully while you're here. Experience everything. Take care of yourself and your
friends. Have fun, be crazy, be weird. Go out and screw up! You're going to anyway, so you might
as well enjoy the process. Take the opportunity to learn from your mistakes: find the cause of
your problem and eliminate it. Don't try to be perfect; just be an excellent example of being
human.”
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LOVE
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Time is too slow for those who wait, too swift for those who fear, too long for those who grieve,
too short for those who rejoice, but for those who love, time is eternity.
Henry Van Dyke
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Love is always bestowed as a gift - freely, willingly and without expectation. We don't love to
be loved; we love to love.
Leo Buscaglia
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Love is life. And if you miss love, you miss life.
Leo Buscaglia
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“I don't pretend to know what love is for everyone, but I can tell you what it is for me; love
is knowing all about someone, and still wanting to be with them more than any other person, love
is trusting them enough to tell them everything about yourself, including the things you might
be ashamed of, love is feeling comfortable and safe with someone, but still getting weak knees
when they walk into a room and smile at you.”
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Life is not measured by the breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“The most important thing in life is to learn how to give out love, and to let it come in.”
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What is uttered from the heart alone, Will win the hearts of others to your own.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To the entire world you may be just someone, but to one person, you may be the whole world
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you ever love something, let it go away...
If it ever returns, it was always yours,,,,, If not, it was never yours.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“Never allow someone to be your priority while allowing yourself to be their option”
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When you are courting a nice girl an hour seems like a second. When you sit on a red-hot cinder
a second seems like an hour. That's relativity.
Albert Einstein

time I am right.

Poem: "Apocalypse Now-Global Warming"
This poem captures my love of earth and the fear of its Apocalypse by Global Warming. It is a warning as well as a wake-up call:
The world so hot and bereft ,
Of life it ought reflect!
And people scattered about yonder,
Lest they be, un-fluttered,
And full of wonder!
Right it is for us to ponder,
And pray stop all and surrender!
Listening, so as to nature’s tale,
And the ill picture, that fortune does portray
Let not us, our future generations, betray!
For let them do, land and life, inherit
By seeing the bane,
that man does, often discredit!
Before be-gone, all that’s precious;
And all the splendor, of nature’s virtues;
Be fast, and swift and hasten,
Before be burnt, by the spark, of the
Global-warming piston!
To protect our futures,
And fortunes play part;
And awake, take honour, take heart!
Enlighten yourself and others besides you!
To the demon, that silently seeks, to eat you!
All that works is human spirit,
To stop the lamp of darkness being lit!
Let not us, the soldier’s work, belittle
In saving, mankind’s divine cradle;
That which all of us cherished,
And which, our fore-fathers nourished!
Let it not, that our sons be perished!
Be there hope, that life be replenished!
With heart and soul and love and work,
And not just idle talk and smirk!
The world so hot and bereft,
Of life it ought really reflect!
And people scattered about yonder,
Lest they be, un-fluttered,
And full of wonder!
Let not this nightmare persist,
But give strength unto us, apocalypse to
resist!
People’s minds and hearts do unite,
And the torches of conscience, do ignite;
To, mankind’s final battle, fight!
With victory and virtue in sight,
Lets give our best,
And make things right!
The world so hot and bereft ,
