"Plan like you're going to live forever, but live like you're going to die today."



"Everything is perfect, right now, exactly as it should be."


I don't know who said these things, but they are pretty good.

Do unto others, as you would have them do unto you.

Extremely hard words to live by....

Love, and let go.

You are probably right.... same meaning sweets..

It's harder to Love than it is to Hate - not sure, John Lennon?

If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything - Prince

I submit to you that if a man hasn't discovered something he will die for, he isn't fit to live.
Martin Luther King Jr., Speech in Detroit, June 23, 1963

This last one means more to me today than anything else.

Well.... The way Jasmine has it kinda implies that you wait to see how others treat you to be good or bad to them. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you means Dont' do anything to anyone that you wouldn't want done to you... as opposed to if they hurt you, then you can hurt them back.

Prince also says it in the Glam Slam remix...

It's mo hard to luv than it is to hate!

This was from that Kurt Vonaget essay posted here last week

Eugene Debs, who died back in 1926, when I was only 4, ran 5 times as the Socialist Party candidate for president, winning 900,000 votes, 6 percent of the popular vote, in 1912, if you can imagine such a ballot. He had this to say while campaigning:
As long as there is a lower class, I am in it.
As long as there is a criminal element, I’m of it.
As long as there is a soul in prison, I am not free.


This is the Rage Against the Machine platform that I'm a part of.

And of course, this little gem:

"Do, or do not. There is no try."

Ok, I really missed that one...

I'm right! Thanks Vi...

VinaBlue said:

yeah, that's how i meant it. if someone is good to you, then be good to them. if someone is bad to yo, then be bad to them. that's why i alway thought it was a funny saying.

The quieter you become, the more you can hear - Ram Das

It's like when Prince pulled the Black Album. He didn't want that to be the last thing he was remembered by. It just means to make the most of your time.

Get it up, get it in, get it out.
