The only way to live a life without regret is to make sure each unit of time that passes is being converted into product
When there is both name and reality, We dwell in the realm of things; When there is neither name nor reality, We exist in a vacuity of things. We can speak and can think, But the more we speak, the further off we are. What is not yet born cannot be forbidden, What is already dead cannot be prevented. Death and birth are not distant, It’s their principle that cannot be seen.
Happiness is nothing but temporary moments here and there – and I love those. But I would be bored out of my mind if I were happy all the time.
No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main. If a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friend’s or of thine own were: any man’s death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind, and therefore never send to know for whom the bells tolls; it tolls for thee.
Isn’t it queer: there are only two or three human stories, and they go on repeating themselves as fiercely as if they had never happened before; like the larks in this country, that have been singing the same five notes over for thousands of years.
If a grave is empty, is it a grave? I wonder how Jesus would answer that.
We live in a moment of history where change is so speeded up that we begin to see the present only when it is already disappearing.
A dysfunctional family is any family with more than one person in it.

Feathers filled the small room. Our laughter kept the feathers in the air. I thought about birds. Could they fly if there wasn’t someone, somewhere, laughing?
Time—how often has she heard it described as sand within a glass, steady, constant. But that is a lie, because she can feel it quicken, crashing toward her.
We’ve learned from this that death can hurt us. It can surprise us. It can scare us. It can keep us up a night. But we’ve also learned the things that death cannot do. It cannot crush our hopes. It cannot take away the love and support of our family and friends. It cannot make us lose our unending faith in world and in God. It has saddened us, but it will not prevail.
People often ask me where I stand politically. It’s not that I disagree with Bush’s economic policy or his foreign policy, it’s that I believe he was a child of Satan sent here to destroy the planet Earth. Little to the left.
Unfortunately, the clock is ticking, the hours are going by. The past increases, the future recedes. Possibilities decreasing, regrets mounting.
Remember to treasure those moments which have taught you great lessonsThose mistakes you made that seemed so unforgiving yesterday and today have made you a better personTreasure the good times but value the difficult. Lessons are never learnt easy
So since I’m still here livin’,I guess I will live on.I could’ve died for love–But for livin’ I was born.
I nurture preservation while time listens patiently to the drones and demands of destiny’s desire
When we feel lost in time, with only shadows of the past living in our mind; when the moment, which “was, no longer is” and when only silence remains, loads of questions arise. We can cry a river or we may wonder: “What went wrong?
What is the difference between a living thing and a dead thing? In the medical world, a clinical definition of death is a body that does not change. Change is life. Stagnation is death. If you don’t change, you die. It’s that simple. It’s that scary.
Around here, however, we don’t look backwards for very long. We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things, because we’re curious…and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.
The struggles we endure today will be the ‘good old days’ we laugh about tomorrow.
We learn to hear the music only when we realize that time is in a flow and that which has flown will never flow again.
Time and Energy are the most precious assets in life, If you are investing them in something, always make sure that your reward will be higher than your capability of thinking.
It has always been this way. Death is followed by birth. To reach paradise, man must pass through inferno. – Bertrand Zobrist
To be a Negro in this country and to be relatively conscious is to be in a rage almost all the time.
It’s not what you say out of your mouth that determines your life, it’s what you whisper to yourself that has the most power!
And then I did what I had never done in his presence, much less in his arms. I cried.
It’s amazing how quickly nature consumes human places after we turn our backs on them. Life is a hungry thing.
Well, as to that, all I’ll say is, you can’t take out a fellow’s heart before he’s ready to give it up.
When we are “time traveling”, we may trip over problems from the past which distort our memory. If we are weary of dealing with lost causes or lame ducks in our history, we have to make up our mind and give up destructive thinking patterns. At that juncture, time has come to go back to the future. ( “A glimpse of the future )
It is time to show the whole world that America is back – bigger and better and stronger than ever before.
On Wednesday, when the sky is blue,
and I have nothing else to do,
I sometimes wonder if it’s true
That who is what and what is who.”
– Winnie-the-Pooh
My mother used to tell me that when push comes to shove, you always know who to turn to. That being a family isn’t a social construct but an instinct.
I just can’t listen to any more Wagner, you know…I’m starting to get the urge to conquer Poland.
You don’t have to live in the same time zone as others, you can live the 1960s while people are living the 2000s! You decide which time, which era you live in!
I wonder why the dead can’t talk, look at all the crimes we’d solve if the damn dead would just Ouija board us our answers, or tell all those weird psychic people who killed ’em.
Time and priorities go hand in hand. We are only given so much time on this earth, and where we spend it and with whom we spend it matters.
The ties that bind us to life are tougher than you imagine, or than any one can who has not felt how roughly they may be pulled without breaking.
She can go with us to the lab and keep Myrnin pinned down while we pull the plug, if he’s not… you know, better.Define BETTER with that guy.Not all fangs and raaaaar.
We hunt the flame, the light in the darkness, the good this world deserves.
In a time of universal deceit – telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
If the world were merely seductive, that would be easy. If it were merely challenging, that would be no problem. But I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve the world and a desire to enjoy the world. This makes it hard to plan the day.
The simple things are also the most extraordinary things, and only the wise can see them.
Identifying the flaw in the US philosophical roots requires that we move beyond the intellectual and emotional climate in which the Constitution was conceived and adopted. The meanings of concepts and words change with use, and even the Supreme Court has admitted that the original perspective of the American social contract has been altered by the passage of time.
We can speak and think only of what exists. And what exists is uncreated and imperishable for it is whole and unchanging and complete. It was not or nor shall be different since it is now, all at once, one and continuous.
Islam deals not only with what man must and must not do, but also with what he needs to know. In other words, Islam is both a way of acting and doing things and a way of knowing.

Neville’s a pleasant sort of standby when there’s nothing more exciting on the go. A safe, attractive, reliable chap. He’s respectful, never having tried to get her into bed which, if she was a better sort of person, she might appreciate.
Lifestyle. The answers aren’t all in the money you make…it’s in how you operate. Rich dudes with no time don’t love their life. Money and meaning should go together. It’s a choice. When you bide your time for freedom…you get neither.
My philosophy is never start talking about ‘if,’ ‘and,’ ‘but’ or the past, because 90 percent of what follows will be negative.
