"I have learnt through bitter experience
the one supreme lesson to conserve my anger,
and as heat conserved is transmuted into energy,
even so our anger controlled can be transmuted into a
power which can move the world."
"You must be the change you wish to see in the world."
"An Eye for an Eye makes the whole world blind."

Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter.
Mark Twain
One of the most striking differences between a cat and a lie is that a cat has only nine lives.
Mark Twain
Don't go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first.

Oh Mr Have-Not-FiBbeD, ... I really agree with the first one 
A journey of a thousand miles starts with the first step.
~ Tao-te ching ~
The world goes up and the world goes down,
And the sunshine follows the rain;
And yesterday's sneer and yesterday's frown
Can never come over again.
~ Charles Kingsley ~

"Integrity" and "integer" both contain a Latin root meaning "whole; complete." The root sense, then, is that people may be said to be acting with integrity when their beliefs, words, and actions have a sense of unity or wholeness.
One ship sails East,
And another West,
By the self-same winds that blow,
Tis the set of the sails
And not the gales,
That tells the way we go.
Like the winds of the sea
Are the waves of time,
As we journey along through life,
Tis the set of the soul,
That determines the goal,
And not the calm or the strife.
(Ella Wheeler Wilcox)

One morning, there was a blind man sitting on the steps of a building with a hat by his feet. Next to him was a sign that read: "I am blind, please help."
A creative publicist was walking by and stopped to observe. He saw that the blind man only had a few coins in his hat. He dropped a couple of cents into the hat and, without asking permission, turned the sign around and wrote a new message on the back of it. He returned the sign to the blind man and left.
That afternoon on his way home, the publicist passed by the blind man and was pleased to see that the hat was almost full of bills and coins. The blind man recognized his footsteps and asked if it was he who had rewritten his sign. When the publicist replied that it was, the bind guy asked what he had written on it.
The publicist responded: "Nothing that was untrue. I just wrote the message a little differently." He smiled to himself and went on his way.
The new sign read: "Today is Spring and I cannot see it."
Sometimes we need to change our strategy. If we always do what we've always done, we'll always get what we've always gotten.
And remember too, it's never WHAT we say, but rather HOW we say it!!

Who is that, father?
____A mendicant, child,
____Haggard, morose, and unaffable -- wild!
____See how he glares through the bars of his cell!
____With Citizen Mendicant all is not well.
Why did they put him there, father?
____Because obeying his belly he struck at the laws.
His belly?
____Oh, well, he was starving, my boy --
____A state in which, doubtless, there's little of joy.
____No bite had he eaten for days, and his cry
____Was "Bread!" ever "Bread!"
____What's the matter with pie?
____With little to wear, he had nothing to sell;
____To beg was unlawful -- improper as well.
Why didn't he work?
____He would even have done that,
____But men said: "Get out!" and the State remarked: "Scat!"
____I mention these incidents merely to show
____That the vengeance he took was uncommonly low.
____Revenge, at the best, is the act of a Siou,
____But for trifles --
Pray what did bad Mendicant do?
____Stole two loaves of bread to replenish his lack
____And tuck out the belly that clung to his back.
Is that all father dear?
____There's little to tell:
____They sent him to jail, and they'll send him to -- well,
____The company's better than here we can boast,
____And there's --
Bread for the needy, dear father?
____Um -- toast.

Most people would sooner die than think; in fact, they do so - Bertrand Russel
If you are distressed by anything external,
the pain is not due to the thing itself,
but to your estimate of it;
and this you have the power to revoke at any moment.
~ Marcus Aurelius ~

Dylan ThomasDo not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

everyone presumes historical characters to be fictional.... Marcus Aurelius IEP
Marcus Aurelius WIKI
he actually existed.. and was one of the more notable stoics in his day...
