“Love is like a friendship caught on fire. In the beginning a flame, very pretty, often hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. As love grows older, our hearts mature and our love becomes as coals, deep-burning and unquenchable.” Bruce Lee
“Ever since I was a child I have had this instinctive urge for expansion and growth. To me, the function and duty of a quality human being is the sincere and honest development of one's potential.” Bruce Lee

The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude to me is more important than facts.... We cannot change our past...we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10 percent what happens to me and 90 percent how I react to it. And so it is with you... we are in charge of our attitudes. ~ Charles R. Swindoll (October 18, 1934 - )

Call that job satisfaction, 'cause I don't." Marvin "Anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job. " "He hoped and prayed that there wasn't an afterlife. Then he realized there was a contradiction involved here and merely hoped that there wasn't an afterlife."
Yes I know , personally though I like Mark Twain quotes, he's so witty and ingenuous. Always acknowledge a fault. This will throw those in authority off their guard and give you an opportunity to commit more. Mark Twain Get your facts first, and then you can distort them as much as you please. Mark Twain I have never let my schooling interfere with my education. Mark Twain I thoroughly disapprove of duels. If a man should challenge me, I would take him kindly and forgivingly by the hand and lead him to a quiet place and kill him. Mark Twain Suppose you were an idiot and suppose you were a member of Congress. But I repeat myself. Mark Twain Truth is more of a stranger than fiction. Mark Twain Of all the animals, man is the only one that is cruel. He is the only one that inflicts pain for the pleasure of doing it. Mark Twain A classic is something that everybody wants to have read and nobody wants to read. Mark Twain We are always more anxious to be distinguished for a talent which we do not possess, than to be praised for the fifteen which we do possess. Mark Twain
I do not know the American gentleman, god forgive me for putting two such words together. Charles Dickens
