Shel Silverstein quote I saw on Facebook

I will not play tug 'o war,
I'd rather play hug 'o war,
Where everyone hugs instead of tugs,
Where everyone giggles and rolls on the rug,
Where everyone kisses,
and everyone grins,
and everyone cuddles,
and everyone wins.

Shel Silverstein.

Nietzche quote

"Sometimes people don't want to hear the truth because they don't want their illusions destroyed."

~Friedrich Nietzche

Quote I found on Facebook

The wise are like water.
Water benefits all things
and does not compete with them.
It flows to the lowest level.
In this it comes near to the Way.

In their dwellings, the wise love the earth.
In their hearts, they love what is profound.
In their friendship, they love humanity.
In their words, they love sincerity.
In government, they love peace.
In business, they love ability.
In their actions, they love timeliness.

It is because they do not compete
that there is no resentment.


8th Verse - Tao Te Ching
S.Beck translator
(1996)

Richard Bach quote

The opposite of loneliness, it's not togetherness. It is intimacy.

Puzzled Hearts Quote 11 May 2012

Be loving, and you will never want for love;
be humble, and you will never want for guiding.
~ Dinah Craik ~

Another 27 April 2012 Puzzled Hearts quote

Today I begin to understand what love must be, if it exists.
When we are parted, we each feel the lack of the other half of ourselves.
We are incomplete like a book in two volumes of which the first has been lost.
That is what I imagine love to be: incompleteness in absence.
~ Edmond and Jules de Goncourt ~

27 April 2012 Puzzled Hearts quote

Love is when you miss him even before he's gone,
When you could listen to him talk all night
And never get tired of hearing his voice,
When the sound of his name sends chills down your spine,
And when you see his smile the second you close your eyes!
~ Adriene Auckerman ~
