"I am consoled by the fact that the Lord knows how to work and how to act, even with insufficient tools" ~ Pope Benedict XVI

"One man thinks he can...one man thinks he can't. Both are right...which one are you?"

Thousands of candles can be lit from a single candle,
and the life of the candle will not be shortened.
Happiness never decreases by being shared.

Be
As a page that aches for words
Which speaks on a theme that is timeless

Anton Chekhov to his lover Olga:

"You ask, 'What is life?' That is like asking, 'What is a carrot?' A carrot is a carrot, and nothing more is known about it."

Do not speak- unless it improves on silence.

"The only way to make a dream come true is to wake up and live it."

that is quite dissimilar to a "handtowel gets wetter the more it dries"

If you live the sacred and despise the ordinary, you are still bobbing in the ocean of delusion.
—Lin-Chi






Do we get a prize if we have the best quote?
Cuase if we don't, then this is total BULLSHIT!

Do not be jealous of others' good qualities, but out of admiration adopt them yourself.

Niiice...I like that one.

Pretty women wonder where my secret lies.
I'm not cute or built to suit a fashion model's size
But when I start to tell them,
They think I'm telling lies.
I say,
It's in the reach of my arms
The span of my hips,
The stride of my step,
The curl of my lips.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

I walk into a room
Just as cool as you please,
And to a man,
The fellows stand or
Fall down on their knees.
Then they swarm around me,
A hive of honey bees.
I say,
It's the fire in my eyes,
And the flash of my teeth,
The swing in my waist,
And the joy in my feet.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

Men themselves have wondered
What they see in me.
They try so much
But they can't touch
My inner mystery.
When I try to show them
They say they still can't see.
I say,
It's in the arch of my back,
The sun of my smile,
The ride of my breasts,
The grace of my style.
I'm a woman

Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

Now you understand
Just why my head's not bowed.
I don't shout or jump about
Or have to talk real loud.
When you see me passing
It ought to make you proud.
I say,
It's in the click of my heels,
The bend of my hair,
the palm of my hand,
The need of my care,
'Cause I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

"People travel to wonder at the height of the mountains, at the huge waves of the seas, at the long course of the rivers, at the vast compass of the ocean, at the circular motion of the stars...and yet they pass by themselves without ever wondering."
