I think that somehow, we learn who we really are and then live with that decision.

Zivljenje je risanje brez radirke. Glej da ti bo všeč kar narišeš!

Courage is the price that life exacts for granting peace.
The soul that knows it not, knows no release
From little things;
Knows not the livid loneliness of fear,
Nor mountain heights where bitter joy can hear
The sound of wings.

Amelia Earhart

May all your dreams come true

Lean against a tree
and dream your world of dreams
Work hard at what you like to
do and try to overcome all obstacles
Laugh at your mistakes
and praise yourself for learning from them
Pick some flowers
and appreciate the beauty of nature
Say hello to strangers
and enjoy the people you know
Don’t be afraid to show your emotions
Laughing and crying make you feel better
Love your friends and family with your entire being
They are the most important part of your life
Feel the calmness on a quiet sunny day
and plan what you want to accomplish in life
Find a rainbow
and live your world of dreams

Friends

Written with a pen.
Sealed with a kiss.
If you are my friend, please answer this:
Are we friends Or are we not?
You told me once But I forgot.
So tell me now And tell me true.
So I can say…. “I’m here for you.”
Of all the friends I’ve ever met,
You’re the one I won’t forget.
And if I die Before you do,
I’ll go to heaven And wait for you.

“We secure our friends not by accepting favors but by doing them.”

Thucydides

Time is
Too Slow for those who Wait
Too Swift for those who Fear
Too Long for those who Grieve
Too Short for those who Rejoice
But for those who Love
Time is not.

Henry Van Dyke

My mind is the place where I make my plans.
The world is the place where take my stands.
The beauty of life is mine today, they can not take my mind away.

Odes 1.11, in English:

Leuconoe, don’t ask — it’s dangerous to know —
what end the gods will give me or you. Don’t play with Babylonian
fortune-telling either. Better just deal with whatever comes your way.
Whether you’ll see several more winters or whether the last one
Jupiter gives you is the one even now pelting the rocks on the shore with the waves
of the Tyrrhenian sea — be smart, drink your wine. Scale back your long hopes
to a short period. While we speak, time is envious and
is running away from us. Seize the day, trusting little in the future.

Never underestimate the power of human stupidity.

There are no strangers in the world, just friends you haven’t met yet.

Is it a progress if a cannibal uses knife and fork?

Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt.

Genuine is the sorrow endured without anyone else knowing about it.

Don’t be humble – you are not that great.

I drink to make other people interesting.

I was not lying. I said things that later on seemed to be untrue.

Giving money and power to goverment is like giving whiskey and car keys to teenage boys.

Humility is the worst form of conceit.

If you haven’t got anything nice to say about anybody, come sit next to me.

Some folks are wise and some are otherwise.

The life of which meaning one never ponders is not worth living

The male chromosome is an incomplete female chromosome. In other words the male is a walking abortion; aborted at the gene stage. To be male is to be deficient, emotionally limited; maleness is a deficiency disease and males are emotional cripples.

It is easier to stay out than get out.

Let us live so that when we come to die even the undertaker will be sorry.

It is by the goodness of God that in our country we have those three unspeakably precious things: freedom of speech, freedom of conscience, and the prudence to never practice either of them.

The big trouble with dumb bastards is that they are too dumb to believe there is such a thing as being smart.

Take care of the people, and God almighty will take care of Himself.

Whatever women do in life, they must do it twice as good as men in order to be considered as half as qualified. Fortunately, that’s not very difficult.

I think; therefore, I’m single.

If you ask me what I came to do in this world, I, an artist, will answer you: I am here to live out loud.

Treat the earth well. It was not given to you by your parents, it was loaned to you by your children.

Between the idea And the reality Between the motion And the act Falls the Shadow.

Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I’m not sure about the former.

To err is human, to moo is bovine.
