When you meet someone better than yourself,
turn your thoughts to becoming his equal.
When you meet someone not as good as you are,
look within and examine your own self
Confucius

I look at the world, and there is nothing to think... nothing to say...
nothing to do... nothing to feel... but gratitude.

It is common sense to take a method and try it; if it fails,
admit it frankly and try another. But above all, try something.

Never mistake motion for action.

Once the game is over, the king and the pawn go back into the same box.

What lies behind us and what lies before us
are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.

In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities,
but in the expert's there are few.

The eye, with which I see God, sees me;
my eye and God's eye is one eye, one seeing
one realizing and one love

Heaven never helps men who will not act.
Sophocles

Restless man's mind is,
So strongly shaken
In the grip of the senses...
Truly I think
The wind is no wilder.

Adversity introduces a man to himself.
Anonymous

In music, in the sea, in a flower, in a leaf, in an act of kindness...
I see what people call God in all these things.

The important thing is not to stop questioning.
Curiosity has its own reason for existing.
One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates
the mysteries of ...

             

Never know

No one will ever know

There's this girl in the mirror, I wonder who she is. Sometimes I think I know her and sometimes I wish I did. There is a story in her eyes, lullabies, and goodbye. When she's looking back at me I can tell...she's hurting inside.  It's getting colder now and the darkness consumes me. Depression is slowly creeping up. Maybe one day you'll actually know me...  Never underestimate the pain of a person because the truth is everyone is struggling. It's just some people hide it better than others.  She smiles with all that she has left, yet tears are left un-dried. And though she's got so much to say, she bottles it up inside. If you look past her broken eyes to a shadow no one sees, a disguise so you won't recognize, the girl is really me...  There's nothing more depressing than having it all and still feeling sad.  I'm tired of being nice to people who don't give a shit about me.  I'm just a messed up girl living in a messed up life in a messed up world. Welcome to where being me is -*Never Enough*-  Sometimes the pain's too strong to bare...and life gets so hard you just don't care. You feel so alone you just sit and cry...every second you wish you could try.....!!  Then you start thinking who would care...if one day they woke up-and you weren't there.  I could go on with my day and act like everything is okay. But as my life goes on it hurts more in every way.  She can't hide no matter how hard she tries, her secret disguised behind the lies. And at night she cries away her pride, with eyes shut tight staring at her inside...., all her family asking is she alright. All she wants to do is get rid of this hell, well all she's got to do is stop kiddin herself. She can only fool herself for so long...You'll just never know...soo many emotions I choose not to show..  Know what it's like ........ How it hurts to smile. How you try to fit in but you can't. How you hurt yourself on the outside, to try to kill the pain on the inside. I've been weak and I've been strong. I've been thru the fire and I've been thru the storm. Try to do right and I know I do wrong.  try to correct it with no more hurt and no more tears, there will be no more pain and no more fears. No more people in here are  sincere. So smile for me when I'm no longer here.Just because her eyes don't tear doesn't mean her heart doesn't cry. And just because she comes off strong, doesn't mean there's nothing wrong.  I don't know what I'm doing anymore. I don't know what I wanna see. My world use to be worth living for, and now it's hard enough just to be me. I'm going to smile...and make you think I'm happy...I'm going to laugh...so you don't see me cry...and even if it kills...I'm going to smile.I'm screwing up every little good thing I ever try to do.......

we make the dragons as we make the gods, because we need them,because somewere deep in our hearts,we recognise that a world without them is a world not living in...... No ,i would not want to live in a world without dragons,as i would not want to live in a world without magic, for that a world without mystery,and that is a world without faith...!!
