General
When faced with two choices, simply toss a coin.
It works not because it settles the question for you
but because in that brief moment when the coin is in the air,
you suddenly know what are hoping for.
The truth is that airports saw more sincere kisses than wedding halls. The walls of hospitals have heard more prayers than the walls of the churches.

To accept the things I cannot change;
Courage to change the things I can;
And wisdom to know the difference.

Chinese Proverb
You miss 100 percent of the shots you never take.

Try a thing you haven’t done three times. Once, to get over the fear of doing it. Twice, to learn how to do it. And a third time, to figure out whether you like it or not.

Chinese Proverb
You can easily judge the character of a man by how he treats those who can do nothing for him.
I’m strong, because I’ve been weak.
I’m fearless, because I’ve been afraid.
I’m wise, because I’ve been foolish.
The first to apologize is the bravest. The first to forgive is the strongest. The first to forget is the happiest.
Is man one of God’s blunders? Or is God one of man’s blunders?

The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, and wiser people so full of doubts.

No, fly me, fly me, far as pole from pole;
Rise Alps between us! and whole oceans roll!
Ah, come not, write not, think not once of me,
Nor share one pang of all I felt for thee.
Alexander Pope, Eloisa to Abelard
How happy is the blameless vestal’s lot! The world forgetting, by the world forgot. Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind! Each pray’r accepted, and each wish resign’d.

Friedrich Nietzsche
No matter how smart you are, your heart always makes you dumb.
Same old story
Everyone knows…
One heart holding on
One letting go….
Sometimes what you want the most — you’re better off without
You’ll write me letters, I’ll call you on the phone,
a wire away from touching and never alone.
We’ll get to know ourselves again and we’ll heal our hearts,
It’s not that we’re bad together, it’s just we’re better off apart.
Today I’ll give it one last try
and then I know I’ll wonder why
I did it to myself once again.
Good Charlotte, I Heard You
I imagine that one of the reason people cling to their hates so stubbornly is because they sense, once the hate is gone, they will be forced to deal with pain.
Sometimes what you forget doesn’t bother you nearly as much as what you remember.
Letting go does not mean giving up, but simply accepting the fact that there are things that just cannot be.
Sometimes you have to just swallow your pride and accept that you’re wrong. It’s not called giving up, it’s called growing up.
Monsters are real, ghosts are real too. They live inside us, and sometimes, they win.
Stephen King
Time heals everything. Give time, time.
The world is full of magic you just have to believe in it.
Never give up on anybody. Miracles happen every day.
A broken plane, A broken dream,
A broken heart, a broken team,
no words said, a silent vow,
we loved you then, we love you now.
RIP Busby Babes.
Patience is not the ability to wait, but how you act while you’re waiting.
Doveryai no proveryai. (Trust but verify).
