Favorite saying

• ""We've all done terrible things to each other, but we have to learn to forgive each other or else everything we ever were will have meant nothing." "Intellect takes us along in the battle of life to a certain limit, but at the crucial moment it fails us. Faith transcends reason. It is when the horizon is the darkest and human reason is beaten down to the ground that faith shines brightest and comes to our rescue." ~Mahatma Gandhi “Above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don’t believe in magic will never find it.” - Roald Dahl "Life will break you. Nobody can protect you from that, and living alone won’t either, for solitude will also break you with its yearning. You have to love. You have to feel. It is the reason you are here on earth. You are here to risk your heart. You are here to be swallowed up. And when it happens that you are broken, or betrayed, or left, or hurt, or death brushes near, let yourself sit by an apple tree and listen to the apples falling all around you in heaps, wasting their sweetness. Tell yourself you tasted as many as you could." ~Louise Erdrich "If they don't take me seriously as I am, then they aren't going to take me seriously as I am not" "To see what is right and not to do it is want of courage" "The people and friends we have lost...and the dreams that have faded...never forget them." "The brave and the wise can both pity and excuse; when cowards and fools show no mercy." ~Benjamin Franklin "Whoever saves one life earns as much merit as though he had saved the entire world" ~I forgot who "Conflict can occur anywhere...The only way to be rid of conflict is to remove it's roots. Nothing will be resolved by just glancing the surface." "Even a man who lives in darkness can bloom for one single moment." "There is always hope as long as one man can still do good." This High Priest of ours understands our weaknesses, for he faced all of the same testings we do, yet he did not sin. --Hebrews 4:15 "One should not demand calmness for the mere sake of calmness, and a prohibition on running when there are people you need to save is foolish." "Shown him that the world was not black and white--it wasn't even gray. It was full of colors that sometimes didn't fit into any spectrum of morality." "When change comes, you can scream and try to force things to stay the same. But you'll usually end up getting trampled. However, if you can direct the changes, they can serve you." "There is a whole world to explore! Life is in the journey, not the ending. Amid the darkest swamps there grow the fairest flowers, if one knows where to look. Somewhere in this world waits my true love--a hand to hold in life, and blissful arms in which to die. And I will never find him if I do not bother to look!" "You are mistaken, this is not about me. Egwene al'Vere is a child. But the Amyrlin is not. I may be young, but the Seat is ancient. Age is irrelevant, to an extent, even experience is irrelevant. This place is about what a person is. The Amyrlin is the White Tower, and the White Tower will not bend. It defies you, Mesaana, and your lies." "A few? Whaddya mean'a few'? What may be a few to y'all is everythin' to them who died" "It is a throne made of the sacrifices of my people. That is why I must protect them!" "I'm certain Fauxnel has a resonable explanation for everything. Perhaps we might discuss it in private...preferably somewhere dark and secluded..." "There has been no such thing as a good war or a bad peace." ~Benjamin Franklin"
