The purpose of life is to live a life of purpose.

Love needs marriage,
So does candlelights.
heres the love and candlelights.
that's two out of three,
should we make it three?

Captain Robert April aboard the USS ENTERPRISE
when proposing to her girl

hold fast to dreams
for if dreams die
life is a broken-winged bird
that cannot fly

hold fast to dreams
for if dreams go
life is a barren field
frozen with snow

"The mark of the immature man is that he wants to die nobly for a cause, while the mark of the mature man is that he wants to live humbly for one."

--psychoanalyst Wilhelm Stekel, as quoted by Mr. Antolini in a note written to Holden Caulfield, from The Catcher in the Rye.

"a man of knowledge is free..he has no honor, no dignity,no family, no hope,no country, but only life to be lived."

from Jiddu Krishnamurti:

"To find out what you love to do demands a great deal of intelligence; because, if you are afraid of not being able to earn a livelihood, or of not fitting into this rotten society, then you will never find out. But, if you are not frightened, if you refuse to be pushed into the groove of tradition by your parents, by your teachers, by the superficial demands of society, then there is a possibility of discovering what it is you really love to do. So, to discover, there must be no fear of not surviving."

"...it is very important that you should find the right vocation. You know what 'vocation' means? Something which you will love to do, which is natural. After all, that is the function of education... to help you grow independently so that you are not ambitious but can find your true vocation. The ambitious man has never found his true vocation...
That is not ambition, to do something marvelously, completely, truly according to what you think; that is not ambition; in that there is no fear."

"Life never comes to the aid of those who merely yield to some demand out of fear. But if you say: 'This is what I really want to do and I am going to pursue it' then you will find that something miraculous takes place. You may have to go hungry, struggle to get through, but you will be a worthwhile human being, not a mere copy, and that is the miracle of it.. But you see, we don't want to invite life, we want to play a safe game; and those who play a safe game die very safely. Is that not so?"

"There is no such thing as a 'self-made' man. We are made up of
thousands of others. Everyone who has ever done a kind deed for us, or spoken one word of encouragement to us, has entered into the make-up of our character and of our thoughts, as well as our success."
-- George Burton Adams (1851-1925), American educator, historian

"There is no such thing as can't, only won't. If you're qualified, all it takes is a burning desire to accomplish, to make a change. Go forward, go backward. Whatever it takes! But you can't blame other people or society in general. It all comes from your mind. When we do the impossible we realize we are special
people."
-- Jan Ashford

[cruewela67]

Never underestimate the power of your actions.
With one small gesture you can change a person's life...
For better or foe worse.. God put us all in each other's lives
To impact one another in some way.
Look for God in others.

[bibliotek]

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the
things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the
bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds
in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."
--MArk Twain

This sustains me...

"Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for thou art with me."

Psalm 23:4


And this I try to remember..

"Love that is hoarded
molds at last
until we know someday
the only thing
we ever have
is what we give away."

Edna St. Vincent Millay
