I don't mind dying as long as I don't have to be there.
/Woody Allen/

If your friends can piss you off, they can control you

If your manager can piss you off, they can control you

If your wife can piss you off, they can control you

If your family can piss you off, they can control you.

Be controlled by no one, except yourself

/ Bill Masur /

I HAVE studied many times
The marble which was chiseled for me—
A boat with a furled sail at rest in a harbor.
In truth it pictures not my destination
But my life.
For love was offered me and I shrank from its disillusionment;
Sorrow knocked at my door, but I was afraid;
Ambition called to me, but I dreaded the chances.
Yet all the while I hungered for meaning in my life.
And now I know that we must lift the sail
And catch the winds of destiny
Wherever they drive the boat.
To put meaning in one’s life may end in madness,
But life without meaning is the torture
Of restlessness and vague desire—
It is a boat longing for the sea and yet afraid.

/Edgar Lee Masters/

You can’t do the same things that other people are doing and expect to outperform them. When you do what everyone else does, you’re going to get the same results everyone else gets. But it’s not enough to be different — you also need to be correct.

The ability to risk looking like an idiot, at least in the short term, is necessary for being different. If you look like everyone else, you never look like a fool. Of course, you also never outperform everyone else.

“Talk about an ideal democracy! In the realm of time, there is no aristocracy of wealth and no aristocracy of intellect. Genius is never rewarded by even an extra hour a day. Moreover, there is no punishment. Waste your infinitely precious commodity as much as you will, and the supply will never be withheld from you. Moreover, you cannot draw in the future. Impossible to get into debt! You can only waste the passing moment. You cannot waste tomorrow; it is kept for you. You cannot waste the next hour; it is kept for you.”
/Arnold Bennett/

lielā politika ir kā pamatīgi lēna šaha spēle.

Fear you can control; love, never.

Kaislīga savu hobiju izmantošana ir kā risku sadalījums biznesā. Un ja nu viena no tām idejām aiziet?

No thief, however skillful, can rob one of knowledge, and that is why knowledge is the best and safest treasure to acquire.

"Courage is like a muscle; it is strengthened by use."

The future is now. It's time to grow up and be strong. Tomorrow may well be too late.

/Neil LaBute/

All your life, you will be faced with a choice. You can choose love or hate…I choose love.

/Johnny Cash/

Is it fair to have given us the memory of what was and the desire of what could be when we must suffer what is?

/Neil Jordan/

They say a person needs just three things to be truly happy in this world: someone to love, something to do, and something to hope for.

/Tom Bodett/

Love is that condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own.

This is the world as it is. This is where you start.

Arī tualetē sievietēm ir priekšroka. Vispirms ir vāks, pēc tam brille un tikai beigās ir puišu gals.

Joy multiplies when it is shared among friends, but grief diminishes with every division. That is life.

People say nothing is impossible, but I do nothing every day.
