The nobler sort of man emphasizes the good qualities in others, and does not accentuate the bad. The inferior does.

~Confuscius~

I feel sorry for people who don't drink. When they wake up in the morning, that's as good as they're going to feel all day.

~Frank Sinatra ~

"We didn't lose the game; we just ran out of time."


~Vince Lombardi~

To believe in one's dreams is to spend all of one's life asleep.


~Chinese Proverb ~

People do not wish to appear foolish; to avoid the appearance of foolishness,
they are willing to remain actually fools.


~Alice Walker~

Loneliness is the poverty of self; solitude is the richness of self.


~ May Sarton~

Procrastination is the hindrance to success

Self praise is no praise but an internatioal disgrace.

"Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated."

~Confucius~

Good, better, best. Never let it rest. Until your good is better and your better is best.


~Tim Duncan~

"People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered;
Forgive them anyway.

If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives;
Be kind anyway.

If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies;
Succeed anyway.

If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you;
Be honest and frank anyway.

What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight;
Build anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous;
Be happy anyway.

The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow;
Do good anyway.

Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough;
Give the world the best you've got anyway.

You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God;
It never was between you and them anyway."

~Mother Teresa ~

Look at something as if you're seeing it for the very first or the very last time.

有一双鞋穿了很久;破了也不嫌它旧. 有一束花闻了很久;枯了也不舍得丢. 有一中朋友;就算青丝变白发也要深深放在心中包留

Some nice Chinese quotes to share with all af brothers...


On Love
1)
相爱...不是拥有
相爱...不如相知

2)
感情贵在专致,始终如一

3)
如果真的有缘,就算分隔两地, 心也会在一起

4)
真正爱一个人, 必定以她的幸福当作是自己的幸福。
与其执着痴念,不如化为祝福。
若然有人能比你给予她更大的幸福,你就把她送到那里去。
不要让你爱的人被你的爱所磨蚀,反过来以你的爱让她得到力量, 展翅高飞。

5)
既无回头,何必不忘,若是无缘,何需誓言。
今日种种,似水无痕。
明夕何夕?
涯奥贰?

6)
落花有意随流水,流水无心恋落花。

On Justice, Difficulties, Problems, Misunderstandings
1)
事情有好有坏,不到最后关头, 就不要太早下定论。

2)
有时侯,坏事的出现,是为了要成就一个人。
让他把毅力和勇气给锻炼出来,成为一个能人。

3)
魔非魔,道非道,对错难分。

4)
误会往往是源于以为了解

5)
就让时间解决这一切。


On Fate and Destiny

何为天意,天意还不是人意
一切因果,都与人的自身有关。
所谓命运,其实是人性之所以然


On Treasuring the Present

时光不回头,当下最重要.

Finally...
无论如何,勇敢面对!

In order that people may be happy in their work, these three things are needed: They must be fit for it. They must not do too much of it. And they must have a sense of success in it.
-- John Ruskin, Pre-Raphaelitism, 1850

Most people rust out due to lack of challenge. Few people rust out due to overuse.
-- Unknown

Beware of the young doctor and the old barber.
-- Benjamin Franklin

The time to stop talking is when the other person nods his head affirmatively but says nothing.
-- Henry S. Haskins

First keep the peace within yourself, then you can also bring peace to others.
-- Thomas a Kempis, 1420

If your ship doesn't come in, swim out to it!
-- Jonathan Winters

If the automobile had followed the same development cycle as the computer, a Rolls-Royce would today cost $100, get a million miles per gallon, and explode once a year, killing everyone inside.
-- Robert X. Cringely, InfoWorld magazine

Nothing is more conducive to peace of mind than not having any opinions at all.
-- Georg Christoph Lichtenberg

Blame someone else and get on with your life.
-- Alan Woods

A liberal is a person whose interests aren't at stake at the moment.
-- Willis Player

One reason I don't drink is that I want to know when I am having a good time.
-- Nancy Astor

Nothing is more pleasing and engaging than the sense of having conferred benefits. Not even the gratification of receiving them.
-- Ellis Peters

One machine can do the work of fifty ordinary men. No machine can do the work of one extraordinary man.
-- Elbert Hubbard

All married couples should learn the art of battle as they should learn the art of making love. Good battle is objective and honest - never vicious or cruel. Good battle is healthy and constructive, and brings to a marriage the principle of equal partnership.
-- Ann Landers

I don't hire people who have to be told to be nice. I hire nice people.
-- Leona Helmsly

It isn't kind to cultivate a friendship just so one will have an audience.
-- Lawana Blackwell, The Courtship of the Vicar's Daughter, 1998

Don't ever confuse the two, your life and your work. That's what I have to say. The second is only a part of the first.

Gender Equality
Girls want equal opportunities and NOT equality.

Giving and Receiving
True giving does not expect anything in return.
Otherwise it is a transaction,
Not giving.

True receiving occurs with a grateful attitude.
Otherwise it is exploitation.
Not receiving.



"...in the end, it's only a passing thing, this shadow.
Even darkness must pass.
A new day will come.
And when the sun shines, it will shine out the clearer."
--Lord of the Rings

15 Sayings of the Buddha

1)
Health is the greatest gift,
Contentment is the greatest wealth,
Faithfulness is the greatest relationship,
Enlightenment is the greatest happiness.

2)
Your work is to discover your work
and then with all your heart,
Give yourself to it.

3)
The secret of health for both mind and body
Is not to mourn for the past,
Not to worry about the future,
Or not to anticipate troubles,
But to live in the present moment
Wisely and earnestly.

4)
Love the world,
As a mother loves her only child.

5)
Endurance is one of the most difficult disciplines,
But it is to the one who endures
That the final victory comes.

6)
There has to be evil
So that good can prove
Its purity above it.

7)
There is nothing more dreadful than the habit of doubt.
Doubt separates people.
It is a poison that disintegrates friendships
And breaks up pleasant relations.
It is a thorn that irritates and hurts;
it is a sword that kills.

8)
Hatred does not cease through hatred at any time.
Hatred ceases through love.
This is an unchanging law.

9)
You will not be punished for your anger,
You will be punished by your anger.

10)

'He insulted me,
he cheated me,
he beat me,
he robbed me'
-- those who are free of resentful thoughts
Surely find peace.

11)
Fashion your life as a garland of beautiful deeds.

12)
The rule of friendship means there should be mutual sympathy between them,
Each supplying what the other lacks
And trying to benefit the other,
Always using friendly and sincere words.

13)
A good friend who points out mistakes and imperfections
And rebukes evil is to be respected as if
He reveals a secret of hidden treasure.

14)
The Way is not in the sky.
The Way is in the heart.


15)
Believe nothing,
No matter where you read it,
Or who said it,
No matter if I have said it,
Unless it agrees with reason
And your own common sense.
