Obstacles are like wild animals.

they are liable to spring upon you;
but if you look them squarely in the eye,
they will slink out of sight.

Farewell My Friend
It was beautiful as long as it lasted
The journey of my life.
I have no regrets whatsoever
save the pain I'll leave behind.
Those dear hearts who love and care...
And the strings pulling at the heart and soul...
The strong arms that held me up
When my own strength let me down.
At every turning of my life
I came across good friends,
Friends who stood by me,
Even when the time raced me by.
Farewell, farewell my friends
I smile and bid you goodbye.
No, shed no tears for I need them not
All I need is your smile.
If you feel sad do think of me
for that's what I'll like
when you live in the hearts
of those you love, remember then
you never die.
- Gitanjali Ghei

You've got to really look after it and nurture it.
- John Lennon
A discussion of philosophy is like a cat chasing its tail -

Love like you've never been hurt.

Leaders aren't born they are made.
And they are made just like anything else, through hard work.
And that's the price we'll have to pay

If you think you are beaten, you are.
If you think you dare not, you don't.
If you'd like to win, but think you can't

But soon or late the man who wins is the one who thinks he can.

to a cause greater than oneself.
