Quote Left Ponder deep wisdom, dark or clear, Each secret fishy hope or fear. Fish say, they have their Stream and Pond; But is there anything Beyond? This life cannot be All, they swear, For how unpleasant, if it were! One may not doubt that, somehow, Good Shall come of Water and of Mud; And, sure, the reverent eye must see A Purpose in Liquidity. Quote Right
Quote Left Marriage may often be a stormy lake, but celibacy is almost always a muddy horse pond. Quote Right
Quote Left What are the best times to reflect on the course of your life? Whenever you are near water, such as the ocean, a quiet pond, or a small stream. Bodies of water, particularly if they are moving, help to stimulate your creative thought process. Similarly, if you are near a fireplace or even a candle, while the flames tend to have a calming effect, they also help you to reflect on what is really important and what you want to be doing more often. The brilliant, quiet stillness of a candle flame can have an anxiety-reducing effect on your entire being. Believe it or not, you can actually choose to feel comfortable about how you spend your time. Philosophically, but also practically speaking, up to this minute in your life, you did indeed have enough time to accomplish everything you accomplished. And that's been quite a lot. When you choose to feel comfortable about how you spend your time, it immediately helps to reduce anxiety. You can also choose to feel good about your accomplishments. To bemoan the fact that you have only accomplished so much by such and such a time or such and such an age is to remain in a perpetual state of discontent. Feel good about what you have accomplished and look forward to what you will accomplish, and you will have a greater sense of control of the time in your life. Quote Right
Quote Left It is long ere we discover how rich we are. Our history, we are sure, is quite tame: we have nothing to write, nothing to infer. But our wiser years still run back to the despised recollections of childhood, and always we are fishing up some wonderful article out of that pond; until, by and by, we begin to suspect that the biography of the one foolish person we know is, in reality, nothing less than the miniature paraphrase of the hundred volumes of the Universal History. Quote Right
Quote Left O it's I that am the captain of a tidy little ship, Of a ship that goes a sailing on the pond; And my ship it keeps a-turning all around and all about; But when I'm a little older, I shall find the secret out How to send my vessel sailing on beyond. For I mean to grow a little as the dolly at the helm, And the dolly I intend to come alive; And with him beside to help me, it's a-sailing I shall go, It's a-sailing on the water, when the jolly breezes blow And the vessel goes a dive-dive-dive. O it's then you'll see me sailing through the rushes and the reeds, And you'll hear the water singing at the prow; For beside the dolly sailor, I'm to voyage and explore, To land upon the island where no dolly was before, And to fire the penny cannon in the bow. Quote Right
Quote Left Honesty is a long lost art form resigned to the archives of famous quotes and a few lone ducks in a pond of hypocrites. Quote Right
Quote Left Life's dirty. Life's unclean you know. It's birth, it's sex, it's the intestinal tract. One big squishy, unsanitary mess. It never gets any cleaner either. You know, dust to dust, worms crawl in, worms crawl out, right Even though we know that, we still walk the walk, we still live the life. We're like a bunch of little kids. Little kids, you know, we jump in this big old pond of mud and we're slapping it all over our face, rubbing our hair all down our backs and we're making these glorious, gooey, mud pies. That's us. Quote Right
Quote Left Animals live by ethics! (1) A flock of wild geese had settled to rest on a pond. One of the flock is captured by a gardener who had clipped its wings. When the geese started to resume their flight, this one tried frantically, but vainly, to lift itself into the air. The others, observing its struggles, flew about in obvious efforts to encourage it, but no use. The entire flock then settled back on the pond and waited, even though the urge to go on was strong, for several days, until the damaged feathers grew sufficiently to permit the goose to fly. (2) A friend who owned a small cafe and used to throw crumbs for the sparrows, noticed that one was injured and had difficulty getting about. But he was interested to discover that the other sparrows would leave the crumbs which lay nearest their crippled comrade so that he could get his share, undisturbed.' Quote Right
Quote Left Many drops make a bucket, many buckets make a pond, many ponds make a lake, and many lakes make an ocean. Quote Right
Quote Left Whatever we learn has a purpose and whatever we do affects everything and everyone else, if even in the tiniest way. Why, when a housefly flaps his wings, a breeze goes round the world; when a speck of dust falls to the ground, the entire planet weighs a little more; and when you stamp your foot, the earth moves slightly off its course. Whenever you laugh, gladness spreads like the ripples in a pond; and whenever you're sad, no one anywhere can be really happy. And it's much the same thing with knowledge, for whenever you learn something new, the whole world becomes that much richer. Quote Right
Quote Left American society is a sort of flat, fresh-water pond which absorbs silently, without reaction, anything which is thrown into it. Quote Right

Quote Left A pebble drops into your pond of life. The pebble creates ripples of stress and confusion. The ripples turn into waves and get larger and larger as they work to the edges of your being. We learn to let them go, to honor them, and allow them to leave. Quote Right
Quote Left I left the woods for as good a reason as I went there. Perhaps it seemed to me that I had several more lives to live, and could not spare any ... Quote Right

Yet they shall not know that for every masterpiece there is always the boldest stroke which can make or break everything. Quote Right
Quote Left What was predestined will occur in a specific place and time: whoever tries to prevent it, will not succeed. I've pondered over ruined lives for disobeying the fate's will, but sadly the consequences were unfavorable and catastrophic. I've seen people weep, not happy about the outcome of their dream; their allusion was too discernable...what was missing was their strength of defiance! Quote Right

Quote Left Vejo e percebo que seja na vida pessoal ou profissional a maioria das pessoas nunca escuta com a intenção de compreender. Na verdade as pessoas param ao ouvir e ouvem com a intenção de responder. De agora em diante saiba que a prosperidade chega rapidamente para a pessoa que escuta e nunca julga. Ouvir é como contar as sementes de uma maçã, qualquer pessoa consegue. Escutar é saber quantas maças tem em cada semente. Quote Right
Quote Left A argumentação é sempre a atitude que nos transforma em seres humanos. Entretanto, argumentar – falar – é mais que abrir a boca e emitir som: argumentar é responder bem, responder bem é a perfeição máxima que podemos alcançar na arte da argumentação. Mais do que isso, a argumentação que sensibiliza e persuade é eloquente. Aquela pessoa que argumenta deve se lembrar de tudo isso: escutar e ser eloquente. A verdadeira eloqüência consiste em dizer tudo o que se deve dizer, e apenas isso. Quote Right
Quote Left Natal, Hoje, agora, de agora em diante, vamos continuar a descobrir o novo, aceitar e conviver com o inesperado. Vamos continuar a sonhar. Sonhar com o dia em que mais e mais pessoas vivam em mundo no qual é possível escolher livremente com quem quer trabalhar, o que desejam receber em troca do seu trabalho e principalmente com quem querem compartilhar os sonhos. Que o Natal nos permita trocar a pergunta por que por outra que responda “o quê”. Quote Right
Quote Left Inovar é Libertar pessoas. Liberte pessoas para perguntar e lhes dê mais liberdade e poder para procurar a resposta. Depois de libertar para procurar resposta dê um único conselho: não se arrependa. Entregue a cada uma responsabilidades para que ela as transforme em compromissos. É o compromisso que movimenta a pessoa, especialmente se ele for criado para atender uma missão que corresponda às próprias ambições. Quando isso acontece as pessoas, elas se superam em cada gesto.

Quote Left "My mother is the strongest human I know and her blood runs through my veins. It pumps through my veins, hot as the lava that spills forth in Hell. She is formidable and she is in ...me. Always. This is at once both frightening and liberating. I know no other love like this - it is all consuming, feral, exhilarating wild. She says, one day I will meet my match. I asked her, who will that be? She responded, You will know. I wonder. Will it be my lover, or my child?" Quote Right

Quote Left Expectations are a product of the mind. The wishful psyche imagines a certain outcome but its usually not the one we envisioned. When you learn to accept this reality, responding & adjusting are added to your skill set. Two vital traits we need. Forever. Quote Right
Quote Left "Purple is swallowed regal royal and read, the Jade Green shallow ponds of wading tidal pools silently investigated, inquisitive slender fingers turn over smooth rocks and hard shells, eventually surprises - Asteroidea - in the oceans of a distant Turquoise harbour are found and kept; in the pages of dreams, saltwater mirrors fed and treasure boxes opened and plundered." Leanne Lovejoy-Burton Quote Right

Quote Left After the waterfalls of tears are laid to rest~There would be a river~A stream~A pond~Where little duckies are singing~And schools of fish be starting out~Up above the receiving skies blue~Clouds will be here and there~The sun will set~Night will fall~It will be a new day with open arms~Your father was a good man-The rapid of life spoken and now good reflections Quote Right

Quote Left To understand the power of thought imagine vibration. One single drop of rain in a pond can create ripples that ring out forever.. forever until they meet matter. Once they meet matter, or in this case the end if the pond, they become.
