Favorite saying

• "Life is not how you weather the storm, but how well you learn to dance in the rain. We cannot direct the wind, but we can adjust the sails. A diamond is a piece of coal that made good under pressure. Most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be. "Don't walk in front of me; I may not follow. Don't walk behind me; I may not lead. Just walk beside me and be my friend." "God will mend your broken heart, you just have to give him all the pieces." A dumb question is one not asked. I refuse to have a battle of wits with an unarmed person. Courage is not the absence of fear but rather the judgment that something is more important than fear. The brave may not live forever but the cautious do not live at all. If you think you are too small to be effective, you have never been in bed with a mosquito. It’s not what you look at that matters, it’s what you see. It's not what you said that matters, it's what they hear that counts 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, but God grant me the courage not to give up on what I think is right even when I think it is hopeless. _ The Serenity Prayer Little things affected little minds. "The difference between genius and stupidity is that genius has its limits." -Albert Einstein "No one can make you feel inferior without your consent." -Eleanor Roosevelt "Do or do not there is no try". -Yoda- I am strong and weak. I am independent and needy. I am beautiful and ugly. I am distinct and blended. I am honest yet have lied. I need love and love my own space. I am shy and outgoing. I am loving and distant. I am polite and rude. I am wanting and very satisfied. I am loved and unloved. I miss my past and want my future. I am wise and foolish. I bring tears and I bring laughter. I hold on tight and I let go. I am strong willed and I give in. I am good enough and not good enough. I am right and I am wrong. I see through and I can be blind. When hope is lost I have hope left to find. I am a best friend and I am a worst enemy. I want to forgive and won't ever be forgiven. I am sorry but glad it happened. I want to be happy and to remember what made me sad. I want to smile and cry all at once. I want to fly but I'm afraid to fall. I want to be great and remember where I started from. I am giving and I am greedy. I am selfish and I would give you my life. I am caring and I am unconcerned. I will lead the way and get lost. I am proud and ashamed. I am a human being. I am not perfect. I have faults and I have greatness. I have strength and weakness. I have done great things and things I wish I could go back and change. I am just me --"Karina Dodge" facebook friend"
