Quotable Quotes 3

[bbjjre]

An oldie but my favorite and the quote seems to be appropriate at this time in my life:

God, grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
the courage to change the things I can;
and the wisdom to know the difference.

Every evening I turn my worries over to God. He's going to be up all night anyway. ~Mary C. Crowley

"i beg you...to have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves as if they were locked rooms or books written in a very foreign language. don't search for the answers, which could not be given to you now, because you would not be able to live them. and the point is, to live everything. live the questions now. perhaps then, someday far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer..."~rainer maria rilke

"The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars..."~Jack Kerouac

"In life there is sadness as well as joy, losing as well as winning, falling as well as standing...I do not say this to make you despair, but to teach you...that life is a journey sometimes walked in light and sometimes walked in shadow."

The drop grows happy by losing itself in the river.
~Mirza Ghalib

Do not stand at my grave and forever weep.
I am not there; I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn?s rain.
When you awaken in the morning?s hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and forever cry.
I am not there. I did not die.
~Melinda Sue Pacho

When you follow your bliss...
doors will open where you would not have thought there would be doors;
and where there wouldn't be a door for anyone else.

We must be willing to get rid of
the life we've planned, so as to have
the life that is waiting for us.

The old skin has to be shed
before the new one can come.

Yet, no face is more beautiful than yours.

Language does have the power to change reality. Therefore, treat your words as the mighty instruments they are - to heal, to bring into being, to remove, as if by magic, the terrible violations of childhood, to nurture, to cherish, to bless, to forgive - to create from the whole cloth of your soul, true love.
-Daphne Rose Kingma
