I'm a quote fan...
In random order:
---
The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds,
and the pessimist fears this is true.
---
The optimist sees opportunity in every danger,
the pessimist sees danger in every opportunity.
---
Destiny is not a matter of chance but a matter of choice.
It is not a thing to be waited for, it is a thing to be achieved.
---
You don't marry someone you can live with,
you marry the person who you cannot live without.
---
A friend is one who knows us... but loves us anyway.
---
Love me or hate me, but spare me your indifference.
---
It is better to be hated for what you are,
than to be loved for what you are not.
---
Humanity has advanced, when it has advanced, not because it has been sober, responsible, and cautious, but because it has been playful, rebellious, and immature.
---
I don't know if God exists, but it would be better for His reputation if He didn't.
---
You can complain because roses have thorns,
or you can rejoice because thorns have roses.
---
Don't be afraid your life will end,
be afraid that it will never begin.
---
Happiness is not having what you want, but wanting what you have.
---
Most people think life sucks, and then you die. Not me. I beg to differ.
I think life sucks, then you get cancer, then your dog dies, your wife leaves you, the cancer goes into remission, you get a new dog, you get remarried, you owe ten million dollars in medical bills but you work hard for thirty-five years and you pay it back and then -- one day -- you have a massive stroke, your whole right side is paralyzed, you have to limp along the streets and speak out of the left side of your mouth and drool but you go into rehabilitation and regain the power to walk and the power to talk and then -- one day -- you step off a curb at Sixty-seventh Street, and BANG you get hit by a city bus and then you die.
MAYBE!
---
Happiness is good health and a bad memory.

Klein gedichtje voor beste vrienden:
If I could catch a rainbow
I would do it just for you,
And share with you its beauty
On the days you're feeling blue
If I could build a mountain
You could call your very own,
A place to find serenity,
A place to be alone
If I could take your troubles
I would toss them in the sea,
But all these things I'm finding
Are impossible for me
I cannot build a mountain,
Or catch a rainbow fair,
But let me be what I know best,
A friend who'll always be there...

more to come soon...
