Could be anything something youve read in a book to something you heard someone say here is mine it is by james allen from the book as a man thinketh.

"Man is made or unmade by himself. In the armory of thought he forges the weapons by which he destroys himself. He also fashions the tools with which he builds for himself heavenly mansions of joy and strength and peace. By the right choice and true application of thought, man ascends to the divine perfection. By the abuse and wrong application of thought he descends below the level of the beast. Between these two extremes are all the grades of character, and man is their maker and master."

I think this statement sums up the difference between these two perfectly.

Got some shit off my chest
Threw it on my back next to the monkey nest
That somebody left
With me the day I was born

I got a hole in my head
The size of Lake fuckin' Michigan
My pipes lined in lead
Got old school reasons to die

Wish in one hand and shit in the other, see which one fills up first.

a ringing phone is an invitation, not a summons.

You're just jealous that your friend has such a hot wife.

TheMistress said:

And her name is "Rose"




ROSE!!!!

Imago said:

That's my daughter's middle name!



Although, every grown woman named Rose I've ever known has been an uggo.

Case in point:

A doctor I used to work for...



She looked like Doogie Howser's sex-offender uncle or something.

TheMistress said:

Oh I'm not making fun of the name so much as pointing out the irony of that name contrasted against her rather caustic personality. I've never known anybody Rose could not depress, including her husband, god bless him.

Imago said:

So you're saying she's hardly a delicate flower which inspires love and pleasure.

She's a smelly cunt who causes babies to cry and lilies to wilt whenever her putrescence wafts by.

Yes?

"Unhappiness stems from not having what is desired, or from having what is not desired. This can be avoided by neither having nor desiring. You can also try to exchange what you have but do not desire for what you desire but do not have. This requires knowing which store it came from." - David M. Bader (Zen Judaism)

Drugs are good, they let you do things that you know you not should.
And when you do 'em people think that you're cool.
Drugs are neat, and you can buy 'em relatively cheap.
And when you do 'em people think that you're cool.

i like that one.

"And why does it make you sad to see how everything hangs by such thin and whimsical threads? Because you're a dreamer, an incredible dreamer, with a tiny spark hidden somewhere inside you which cannot die, which even you cannot kill or quench and which tortures you horribly because all odds are against its continual burning. In the midst of the foulest decay and putrid savagery, this spark speaks to you of beauty, of human warmth and kindness, of goodness, of greatness, of heroism, of martyrdom, and it speaks to you of love." -- Eldridge Cleaver, Soul on Ice


"L'enfer, c'est les autres." -- Jean-Paul Sartre, Huis Clos


"...Physics made me sick the whole time I learned it. What I couldn't stand was this shrinking everything into letters and numbers...I knew chemistry would be worse, because I'd seen a big chart of the ninety-odd elements hung up in the chemistry lab, and all of the perfectly good words like gold and silver and colbalt and aluminum were shortened to ugly abbreviations with different decimal numbers after them..." -- Sylvia Plath, The Bell Jar


"I can't be bothered. I can't be bothered to ride, the motion is too violent; I can't be bothered to walk, it's strenuous; I can't be bothered to lie down, for either I'd have to stay lying down and that I can't be bothered with, or I'd have to get up again, and I can't be bothered with that either. In short: I just can't be bothered." -- Søren Kierkegaard, "Diapsalmata" from Either/Or

One of my favourites, as well.


Or, as Chuck Berry put it, "Too much monkey business for me to be involved in".

"No one will ever get out of this world alive. Resolve therefore to maintain a reasonable sense of values.
Take care of yourself. Good health is everyone's major source of wealth; without it, happiness is almost impossible.
Resolve to be cheerful and helpful. People will repay you in kind.
Avoid angry, abrasive persons. They are generally vengeful.
Avoid zealots. They are usually humorless.
Resolve to listen more and talk less. No one ever learns anything by talking.
Be chary of giving advice. Wise men don't need it, and fools won't heed it.
Resolve to be tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving, and tolerant of the weak and the wrong. Some time in life, you will have been all of these.
Do not equate money with success. There are many successful moneymakers who are miserable failures as human beings. What counts most about success is how a person achieves it."

I like this a lot. Where's it from?

Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant, they too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit.


If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain or bitter; for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.


Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery. But let not this blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism. Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is as perennial as the grass. Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth.


Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.


Therefore, be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be. And whatever your labors and aspirations in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul. With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams; it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful.


Strive to be happy.


--- Max Ehrmann, 1927
