Live With Intention

While I was in Southern California I picked up several Quotable Cards (which apparently are available online, too). Since they cost me a pretty penny, I'm transcribing them here...

We do not remember days. We remember moments. (Cesare Pavese)

Do not go where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail. (Ralph Waldo Emerson)

No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted. (Aesop)

In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity. (Albert Einstein)

be glad of life, because it gives you the chance to love and to work and to play and to look up at the stars; to be satisfied with your possessions; to despise nothing in the world except falsehood and meanness, and to fear nothing except cowardice; to be governed by your admirations rather than by your disgusts; to covet nothing that is your neighbor's except his kindness of heart and gentleness of manners; to think seldom of your enemies, often of your friends... and to spend as much time as you can, with body and with spirit. these are little guideposts on the floorpath to peace. (Henry Van Dyke)

Just when the caterpillar thought the world was over, it became a butterfly. (anonymous)

The whole theory of the universe is directed unerringly to one single individual -- namely to you. (Walt Whitman)

live with intention.
walk to the edge.
listen hard.
practice wellness.
play with abandon.
laugh.
choose with no regret.
continue to learn.
appreciate your friends.
do what you love.
live as if this is all there is.
(Mary Anne Radmacher)

Friendship is when people know all about you but like you anyway. (anonymous)

risk more than others think is safe,
care more than others think is wise,
dream more than others think is practical,
expect more than others think is possible.
(Cadet Maxim)

To laugh is to risk appearing the fool.
To weep is to risk appearing sentimental.
To reach out for another is risk involvement.
To expose feelings is to risk exposing your true self.
To place your ideas, your dreams, before a crowd Is to risk their loss.
To love is to risk not being loved in return.
To live is to risk dying. To hope is to risk despair.
To try is to risk failure.
But risks must be taken, because the greatest hazard in life is To risk nothing.
The person who risks nothing dies nothing, Has nothing and is nothing.
They say they avoid suffering and sorrow, But they cannot learn, Feel, change, grow, love, feel.
Chained by their attitudes, they are slaves.
They have forfeited their freedom.
Only a person who risks is free.
(anonymous)

Once you have tasted flight...
...you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return. (Leonard da Vinci)

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the number of moments that take our breath away. (anonymous)

This is my wish for you:
comfort on difficult days,
smiles when sadness intrudes,
rainbows to follow the clouds,
laughter to kiss your lips,
sunsets to warm your heart,
hugs when spirits sag,
beauty for your eyes to see,
friendships to brighten your being,
faith so that you can believe,
confidence for when you are in doubt,
courage to know yourself,
patience to accept the truth,
love to complete your life.
(anonymous)

To see a world in a grain of sand
and heaven in a wild flower,
hold infinity in the palm of your hand
and eternity in an hour.
(William Blake)

Never let the odds keep you from doing what you know in your heart you were meant to do. (H. Jackson Brown, Jr.)

dwell in possibility... (Emily Dickinson)

"There is no use trying," said Alice, "one can't believe impossible things." "I dare say you haven't had much practice," said the Queen. "When I was your age, I always did it for half an hour a day. Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast." (Lewis Carroll)

Much unhappiness has come into the world because of things left unsaid. (Fyodor Dostoevsky)

Only those who risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go. (T.S. Eliot)

If we all did the things we are capable of doing, we would literally astound ourselves. (Thomas Edison)

It is never too late to be what you might have been. (George Eliot)

Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities have crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day. You shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense. (Ralph Waldo Emerson)

The sun, with all those planets revolving around it and dependent on it, can still ripen a bunch of grapes as if it had nothing else in the universe to do. (Galileo)

Practice random acts of kindness and senseless acts of beauty. (Anne Herbert)

The great thing about getting older is that you don't lose all the other ages you've been! (Madeleine L'Engle)

The only people for me are the mad ones... The ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars. (Jack Kerouac)

Everything that is done in the world is done by hope. (Martin Luther)

One must still have chaos in oneself to be able to give birth to a dancing star. (Freidrich Nietzsche)

Some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle, and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next. Delicious ambiguity. (Gilda Radner)

Do one thing every day that scares you. (Eleanor Roosevelt)

Happiness is a journey, not a destination. For a long time it seemed to me that life was about to begin - real life. But there was always some obstacle in the way, something to be gotten through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, a debt to be paid. At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life. This perspective has helped me to see there is no way to happiness. Happiness is the way. So treasure every moment you have and remember that time waits for no one. (Alfred D. Souza)

Happiness is like a butterfly: the more you chase it. the more it will elude you. but if you turn your attention to other things. it will come and sit softly on your shoulder. (Henry David Thoreau)

If you are going to doubt something, doubt your limits. (Don Ward)

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor, catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover. (unknown)

This is what you shall do: love the earth and sun and the animals despite riches, give alms to every one that asks, stand up for the stupid and crazy, devote your income and labor to others, hate tyrants, argue not concerning god, have patience and indulgence toward the people, take off your hat to nothing known or unknown or to any man or number of men, go freely with powerful uneducated persons and with the young and with the mothers of families, read these leaves in the open air every season of every year of your life, re-examine all you have been told at school or church or in any book, dismiss what ever insults your own soul, and your very flesh shall be a great peom. (Walt Whitman)

Leap and the net will appear. (Zen koan)

Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself. (unknown)

Everything will be okay in the end. If it's not okay, it's not the end. (unknown)

What would you attempt to do if you knew you could not fail?

Words are, of course, the most powerful drug used by mankind. (Rudyard Kipling)

Linked over from a post by matt (http://www.gnumatt.org/blog/) on The Sound and The Fury (http://www.thesoundandfury.net/) - I love these reminders of what is important in life. I often live to fast and too harried to remember and having these reminders around me helps me slow down and "get over it". Thanks!

[Adam]

Thanks to the link to that site, Michelle -- I really like the post on 8 Ways To Maintain A Positive Attitude, with the quote from Charles Dickens,

Reflect upon your present blessings, of which every man has many - not on your past misfortunes, of which all men have some.

Each person clickity click clicking away at a little machine that they are sucked into like a fly to light. Sorry, but that's just entirely too open for me. This is a Brave New World turning out as prophecy of our immediate future. There are at least three things about Kevin's comment that made Rohit smile: the invocation of physics, the notion that 30 is relative, and the thought of seeing you next week.
