I don't need a friend who changes when I change and who nods when I nod; my shadow does that much better.

Plutarch
Watching, waiting, stalking. Searching, skulking, smiling. Love is not all romance. Love is mystery, love is misery. Love is a big piece of dark chocolate. Bittersweet and forbidden.
Search for beauty find your shore, try to save them all, bleed no more, you have such oceans within and in the end I will love you, always.
The ultimate value of life depends upon awareness and the power of contemplation rather than upon mere survival.
Aristotle
“All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring

No matter how evolved we are and much money we have.
The emotion of coming home should be the same cave men had.
We are, in basic facts, exactly the same as our ancestors.
We may have substitute one thing for the other but we are again playing for stones with the same emotions we had one day.
That gives me hope we can find our way again.
Ricardo Ferreira
We are each of us angels with only one wing, and we can only fly by embracing one another.
Healthy is merely the slowest rate at which one can die.

Labor to keep alive in your breast that little spark of celestial fire, called conscience.

-Lao Tzu
Our best goals are dreams and they are the answers for our tomorrow questions.
The one who questions more and better will find the dreams on the end of that rainbow.
The one that finds the rainbow will see their dreams on the chaos of life.

I dreamed I was a butterfly, flitting around in the sky; then I awoke. Now I wonder: Am I a man who dreamt of being a butterfly, or am I a butterfly dreaming that I am a man?
Zhuangzi
There is no easy walk to freedom anywhere, and many of us will have to pass through the valley of the shadow of death again and again before we reach the mountaintop of our desires.
Nelson Mandela
It is another fault if he be ungrateful, but it is mine if I do not give. To find one thankful man, I will oblige a great many that are not so.
Lucius Annaeus Seneca
Enthusiasm is the yeast that makes your hopes shine to the stars.
Enthusiasm is the sparkle in your eyes, the swing in your gait.
The grip of your hand, the irresistible surge of will and energy to execute your ideas.
Henry Ford
Follow your heart and you will never be lost.

In our confusion, in the middle of a big city, that on their pass step the stars that we can not see and we have neither time nor silence to speak to our hearts, we constantly need anything (more) to distracts us from our evil that surrounds us from all around and not knowing why we are so lost only because we are not able to listen to our hearts.
Follow your heart, listen to him and you will never more be lost my dear friend Mumps.
Every time I don't follow my heart I am always sorry and lost. I hope this is correct because I just followed my heart.

Sorry means you feel the pulse of other people's pain as well as your own, and saying it means you take a share of it. And so it binds us together, makes us trodden and sodden as one another. Sorry is a lot of things. It's a hole refilled. A debt repaid. Sorry is the wake of misdeed. It's the crippling ripple of consequence. Sorry is sadness, just as knowing is sadness. Sorry is sometimes self-pity. But Sorry, really, is not about you. It's theirs to take or leave.
Sorry means you leave yourself open, to embrace or to ridicule or to revenge. Sorry is a question that begs forgiveness, because the metronome of a good heart won't settle until things are set right and true. Sorry doesn't take things back, but it pushes things forward. It bridges the gap. Sorry is a sacrament. It's an offering. A gift.
Every man dies. Not every man really lives.

Pure logic is the ruin of the spirit. ~Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, Flight to Arras, 1942, translated from French by Lewis Galantière
"The kind of intelligence a genius has is a different sort of intelligence. The thinking of a genius does not proceed logically. It leaps with great ellipses. It pulls knowledge from God knows where. " Dorothy Thompson

"Logic is the beginning of wisdom, not the end." Unknown

"The want of logic annoys. Too much logic bores. Life eludes logic, and everything that logic alone constructs remains artificial and forced." Andre Gide

"Control your emotion or they will control you." Bertrand Russell
“Human behavior flows from three main sources: desire, emotion, and knowledge” Plato

Difficulties are things that show a person what they are.

“Be careful what you water your dreams with. Water them with worry and fear and you will produce weeds that choke the life from your dream.

Always be on the lookout for ways to nurture your dream.”
Lao Tzu

Laozi (Chinese: 老子; pinyin: Lǎozǐ; Wade–Giles: Lao Tzu; also romanized as Lao Tse, Lao Tu, Lao-Tsu, Laotze, Laosi, Laocius, and other variations) (fl. 6th century BCE) was a philosopher of ancient China, best known as the author of the Tao Te Ching (often simply referred to as Laozi). His association with the Tào Té Chīng has led him to be traditionally considered the founder of philosophical Taoism (pronounced as "Daoism"). He is also revered as a deity in most religious forms of Taoist philosophy, which often refers to Laozi as Taishang Laojun, or "One of the Three Pure Ones".
According to Chinese traditions, Laozi lived in the 6th century BCE. Some historians contend that he actually lived in the 5th–4th century BCE, concurrent with the Hundred Schools of Thought and Warring States Period, while some others argue that Laozi is a synthesis of multiple historical figures or that he is a mythical figure.
A central figure in Chinese culture, both nobility and common people claim Laozi in their lineage. He was honored as an ancestor of the Tang imperial family, and was granted the title Táishāng xuānyuán huángdì, meaning "Supreme Mysterious and Primordial Emperor". Throughout history, Laozi's work has been embraced by various anti-authoritarian movements.
Laozi is traditionally regarded as the founder of Taoism, intimately connected with the Daodejing and "primordial" (or "original") Daoism. Popular ("religious") Daoism typically presents the Jade Emperor as the official head deity. Intellectual ("elite") Daoists, such as the Celestial Masters sect, usually present Laozi (Laojun, "Lord Lao") and the Three Pure Ones at the top of the pantheon of deities.
