Quote Compilation

In your eyes I see the person I am becoming.


Contemplation, the art of seeing the magnificent in the simple.


I searched for wisdom within myself and found God.


Forget all others, until I am the last thought on your mind.


You hide, hoping that I will seek.


Do not set limits on your dreams, that's your boss's job!


I tried to give her a French kiss, unfortunately she was not bi-lingual.


I turned practice into luck, what others see as easy comes from hard work.


If you search for yourself in darkness, how will you find your way back?


His mind traveled at the speed of sound, yet no one could hear him.


She bent over backwards for him, with disappointment she lost her flexibility.


 She was an emotional anorexic, starving for a substantial love.


You will always have a friend if you truly get to know yourself.

Instruments of God we can only create music if he is blowing through their lives.

If all she had was her eyes, she would still be able to smile.

It is impossible to betray someone who has never considered you a friend.

I love the way you bend the sun in my direction.

He promised he would stay forever, some men have no sense of time.

Littler morsels of wisdom (and humor) in this wonderful piece. Especially the second quote - it fits you to a tee. I'm off to go learn French now... LOL!

These are all good, but the one that grabs me is "If you search for yourself in darkness...." I think I have spent a lot of time doing just that. I am going to have to add you to my journal of wise and profound sayings.
