and today for some lighter fare – an excerpt from my collection of quotations on thinkexist:
rainer maria rilke
“let life happen to you. believe me: life is in the right, always.”
“do not assume that she who seeks to comfort you now, lives untroubled among the simple and quiet words that sometimes do you good. her life may also have much sadness and difficulty, that remains far beyond yours. were it otherwise, she would never have been able to find these words.”
zig ziglar
“confidence is going after moby dick in a rowboat and taking the tartar sauce with you.”
dr. seuss
“adults are just obsolete children and the hell with them.”
“my alphabet starts with this letter called yuzz. it’s the letter i use to spell yuzz-a-ma-tuzz. you’ll be sort of surprised what there is to be found once you go beyond ‘z’ and start poking around!”
dr. r. w. shepherd
“you handle depression in much the same way you handle a tiger.”
george bernard shaw
“we have no more right to consume happiness without producing it than to consume wealth without producing it.”
friedrich nietzsche
“much more happiness is to be found in the world than gloomy eyes discover.”
