As a man thinketh, so he is.
Beaten paths are for beaten men. Competition can anger and frustrate, but win or lose, it makes you better. “It hurts to love someone and not be loved in return, but what is the most painful is to love someone and never find the courage to let the person know how you feel.” “It is that physical courage should be so common in the world, and moral courage so rare” “God grant me the courage not to give up what I think is right even though I think it is hopeless.” - Chester W. Nimitz "Success is not measured by what you accomplish, but by the opposition you have encountered, and the courage with which you have maintained the struggle against overwhelming odds.” - Orison Swett Marden "Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen.” - Winston Churchill “To dream anything that you want to dream. That's the beauty of the human mind. To do anything that you want to do. That is the strength of the human will. To trust yourself to test your limits. That is the courage to succeed.” - Bernard Edmonds Determination is not a talent, not a trait, it is an attitude. "Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work." -Thomas A. Edison "Don't go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first." -Mark Twain Last edited by tweety bird; 31-10-2008 at 01:35 AM. |

J. Bon Jovi- Blood Money
Hey Patty Garrett that's what I used to call you They tell me you want me but I hear they've got you They made you a lawman with a badge made of silver They paid you some money to sell them my blood But you say this ain't about me, this ain't about you Or the good and the bad times we've both been through When the lines between brothers and justice have changed You do what you've got to cause you can't walk away I wonder what would have happened If you were the killer And I was the hero Would things be the same Or would I have traded Your life for my own life Would I have paid Your debts in your place But this ain't about me, this ain't about you Or the good and the bad times we've both been through When the lines between brothers and justice have changed You do what you've got to cause you can't walk away Blood money That's what I call it 'Cause money for blood ain't no fair exchange Blood money Bought and then sold you But your conscience is all you can take to your grave |

J. Bon Jovi- Bang a Drum
I went to see the preacher To teach me how to pray He looked at me and smiled Then the preacher turned away He said if you want to tell him something You ain't gotta fold your hands Say it with your heart Your soul and believe it And I'd say amen Bang a drum for the sinners Bang a drum for the sins Bang a drum for the losers And those who win Bang a drum bang it loudly Or as soft as you need Bang a drum for yourself son And a drum for me I called upon my brother just the Other day, he said: John I'm gonna Die if I don't start to live again I work each day and night like clockwork Just trying to make ends meet I could kick this bad world's ass If I could just get on my feet I'd bang a drum for the dying Bang a drum for the truth Bang a drum for the innocence Lost in our youth Bang a drum bang it loudly Or as soft as you need Bang a drum for you brother And a drum for me I don't know where all the rivers run I don't know how far, I don't know how come But I'm gonna die believin' Each step that I take Ain't worth the ground that I walk on If we don't walk it our Own way No I don't claim to be a wiseman A poet or a saint I'm just another man who's searching For a better way But my heart beats loud as thunder For the things that I believe Sometimes I wanna run for cover Sometimes I want to scream Bang a drum for tomorrow Bang a drum for the past Bang a drum for the heroes That won't come back Bang a drum for the promise Bang a drum for the lies Bang a drum for the lovers And the tears they've cried Bang a drum bang it loudly Or as soft as you need But as long as my heart keeps on bangin' I got a reason to believe |

He who knows and knows not that he knows. He is asleep;
wake him. He who knows not and knows not that he knows not. He is a fool; shun him. He who knows not and knows that he knows not. He is a child; teach him. He who knows and knows that he knows. He is a king; follow him. Chinese Proverb It's the little things we do or say That make or break the beauty of the average passing days. Hearts, like doors, will open with ease To very, very little keys, And don't forget that two of these Are "I thank you," and "If you please." For every minute you remain angry, you give up sixty seconds of peace of mind. ~RAlph Waldo Emerson~ The pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; the optimist, the opportunity in every difficulty. ~L.P. Jacks~ Last edited by tweety bird; 31-10-2008 at 01:37 AM. |

"The heart has its reasons which reason knows nothing of." Blaise Pascal "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." Edmund Burke "It's not foresight or hindsight we need. We need sight, plain and simple. We need to see what is right in front of us." "To avoid criticism do nothing, say nothing, be nothing." Elbert Hubbard "The world stands aside to let anyone pass who knows where he is going." David Starr Jordan "Be a first rate version of yourself, not a second rate version of someone else." Judy Garland "Remember not only to say the right thing in the right place, but far more difficult still, to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment." Benjamin Franklin "Order is not pressure which is imposed on society from without, but an equilibrium which is set up from within." Jose Ortega y Gasset "To find a fault is easy; to do better may be difficult." Plutarch "Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs even though checkered by failure, than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat."

"Keep five yards from a carriage, ten yards from a horse, and a hundred yards from an elephant; but the distance one should keep from a wicked man cannot be measured."
Indian Proverb "If you can find a path with no obstacles, it probably doesn't lead anywhere." Frank A. Clark "Be life long or short, its completeness depends on what it was lived for." David Starr Jordan "The moment of victory is much too short to live for that and nothing else." Martina Navratilova Dispose of your fear. Give it to your opponent. "First it is necessary to stand on your own two feet. But the minute a man finds himself in that position, the next thing he should do is reach out his arms." -- Kristin Hunter, "As a community, we should agree to disagree agreeably." "Be not penny wise but pound foolish." Common sense is the collection of prejudices acquired by age eighteen. -- Albert Einstein We can't all be heroes because somebody has to sit on the curb and clap as they go by. -- Will Rogers You have to know how to accept rejection and reject acceptance. -- Ray Bradbury Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery peace of mind comes from not wanting to change others. - gerald jampolsky Last edited by tweety bird; 31-10-2008 at 01:42 AM. |
