Crayons And Life Quotes

no man with any sense should marry the girl to whom he loses his virginity. It's like learning to drive in some clapped-out old banger and then holding on to it for the rest of your life when you've developed the skill to handle a BMW in rush-hour traffic on a busy Autobahn. ~ John Boyne

Had it been the object or the intention of Jesus Christ to establish a new religion, he would undoubtedly have written the system himself, or procured it to be written in his life time. But there is no publication extant authenticated with his name. All the books called the New Testament were written after his death. He was a Jew by birth and by profession. ~ Thomas Paine

No one will live all his life in the world into which he was born and no one will die in the world in which he worked in his maturity. ~ Margaret Mead

I am filled time and again
with a heart-aching wonder
when I think

of the fire

of love

the solace
of family
and the power
of prayer. ~ Sanober Khan

There is a place for mind and mind knowledge. It is in the practical realm of day-to-day living. However, when it takes over all aspects of your life, including your relationships with other human beings and with nature, it becomes a monstrous parasite that, unchecked, may well end up killing all life on the planet and finally itself by ~ Eckhart Tolle

I didn't make this plan. I just wake up sometimes and want to crawl out of my life. ~ Meredith Hall

You are not here to sacrifice your joy or your life. You are here to live, to be happy, and to love. If you can do your best in two hours of meditation, but you spend eight hours instead, you will only grow tired, miss the point, and you won't enjoy your life. Do your best, and perhaps you will learn that no matter how long you meditate, you can live, love, and be happy. ~ Miguel Ruiz

When there is a power failure, do you go and look for candles and matches or do you sit in the dark and allow your fears to get the best of you? ~ Bianca Bowers

Goliath symbolizes the vanity and the illusions of this world. They disappear in a puff ~ Bangambiki Habyarimana

I would advocate that you show me your smiling face, and how happy you can make your life. ~ Andy Biersack

Don't be in a hurry to achieve your dreams. Take a day to play with your kids and relax - your dreams will still be there tomorrow. ~ Lindsey Rietzsch

I'm going because my life was crap until I met you. I'm going because I don't want to be here when you're not, still living with my mum and nothing being any different. I wouldn't even be thinking about going if it hadn't been for you. ~ Jenny Downham

But the same receptivity to experience that can make life difficult for the highly sensitive also builds their consciences. Aron tells of one sensitive teen who persuaded his mother to feed a homeless person he'd met in the park, and of another eight-year-old who cried ~ Susan Cain

But I read so seldom, that I prefer books suited exactly to my taste. And I like those authors best whose scenes describe my own situation in life, - and the friends who are about me, whose stories touch me with interest, from resembling my own homely existence,- which, without being absolutely paradise, is, on the whole, a source of indescribable happiness. ~ Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

A class struggling to assert itself, to discover its true shape, which lies hidden, as does the statue in the marble, in the hard, resisting material of life itself, be different from the same class when chisel and mallet have been laid aside, and it has actually become what it had so long been struggling to be. ~ Hope Mirrlees

Those who hear this solemn call of life and respond with the corresponding supply receive progress in life. ~ Sunday Adelaja

If our life has a meaning, an aim, it has nothing to do with our personal happiness, but something wiser and greater. ~ Anton Chekhov

He walked out the door and with each step my heart breaks.
He'd be gone for days with long silences between each breath.
I know I'm his one of many and he knows he's my one of one.
The only one who holds him down.
Yet, he still leaves.

He walks through the door and with each step my heart leaps.
He crumbles to the ground in tears telling me he's sorry.
He says he needs me and he's nothing without me.
How can he be so attached and detached at the same time?
I swear, this man loves to see me in pain. ~ J.A. ANUM

For when asceticism was carried out of monastic cells into everyday life, and began to dominate worldly morality, it did its part in building the tremendous cosmos of the modern economic order. This order is now bound to the technical and economic conditions of machine production which to-day determine the lives of all the individuals who are born into this mechanism, not only those directly concerned with economic acquisition, with irresistible force. Perhaps it will so determine them until the last ton of fossilized coal is burnt. ~ Max Weber

God Is Love But For This Love To Be Real To Us Depends Largely On Our Responses and Reactions to Him. ~ Jaachynma N.E. Agu

But after all
I say this as a kind of afterthought in conclusion
why bother with success at all? I have observed that the successful people get very little real enjoyment out of life. In fact the contrary is true. If I had to choose
with an eye to having a really pleasant life
between success and ruin, I should prefer ruin every time. I have several friends who are completely ruined
some two or three times
in a large way of course; and I find that if I want to get a really good dinner, where the champagne is just as it ought to be, and where hospitality is unhindered by mean thoughts of expense, I can get it best at the house of a ruined man. ~ Stephen Leacock

The major purpose of defining and understanding yourself is to be able to come up with an objective strategy to map your success. ~ Archibald Marwizi

I say that I hate you, but deep inside I love you. Love is in my mind, in my soul, and deep in my heart. As it always has been. As it always might be. ~ J.C. Reed

Read positive books; see positive things and surround yourself with positive thinkers; life will be full with positivity. ~ Amit Ray

The two of us are lIke sunshine and the rain. Together... We are the wellspring of all life. But between us, there will will bloom no flowers. We shall bear no fruit. For us, all of time... Shall be evergreen.
"And that's fine. I will be here always. To you... I give eternity."
Hotaka ~ Yuyuko Takemiya

You don't need the painful memories, because either you've resolved them. Denying always makes them want to come back. Denial is a mechanism that doesn't work. But allowing them to come back in little by little, those memories, you can begin to be quite comfortable with them, and it's even nice to have that as part of the map of your life. ~ Charlotte Rampling

If prayer stands as the place where God and human beings meet, then I must learn about prayer. Most of my struggles in the Christian life circle around the same two themes: why God doesn't act the way we want God to, and why I don't act the way God wants me to. Prayer is the precise point where those themes converge. ~ Philip Yancey

Do you still want to be a farmer?' Mom asked.
I shook my head.
'Then study hard. You can choose your future, your sisters and brother can't. You're lucky. If they had blisters like yours, they would still have to be there till the last stem was harvested. It's their life. ~ Da Chen

I gazed around the room and my eyes stopped dead on a little boy standing in the corner. This was a particularly eerie doll. Life-sized and blond-haired and blue-eyed. I saw a little Nazi boy, pockets probably stuffed with scissors and retractable blades. My grandfather on my mother's side was rumored to be half Jewish, which practically makes me Jerry Seinfeld's brother, and thus wary of blond German boys with their hands out of sight. ~ Augusten Burroughs

There are those who would misteach us that to stick in a rut is consistency - and a virtue, and that to climb out of the rut is inconsistency - and a vice. ~ Mark Twain
