Thankfulness is the beginning of gratitude. Gratitude is the completion of thankfulness. Thankfulness may consist merely of words. Gratitude is shown in acts.

Great one, Anji!
Lately I've been reminded of an old word of wisdom: "Easy come, easy go"...
You can not prevent the birds of sorrow from flying over your head, but you can prevent them from building a nest in your hair :santa_haha:
Accept that some days you're the pigeon and some days you're the statue.
"I take my children everywhere, but they always find their way back home."
"A word to the wise ain't necessary -- it's the stupid ones that need the advice."

Feeling a bit... 'mmm not sure how to describe it'... lately..
Treat others like you want to be treated..
The best way to find out if you can trust somebody is to trust them....
Sometimes it is better to give up, than make a fool of yourself...
If your going threw hell, keep going...
Tell me and I'll forget; show me and I may remember; involve me and I'll understand.”
True friends stab you in the front.
Life is partly what we make it, and partly what it is made by the friends we choose.
True friendship comes when the silence between two people is comfortable.
He who cannot give anything away cannot feel anything either.
In the End, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.
I hear ya :-(
they're all very true, i wish some of those werent but thats life i guess.
I don't need a friend who changes when I change and who nods when I nod; my shadow does that much better.

Betrayal is about learning not to idealize external sources.
Each betrayal begins with trust.

A Very Wise Lyrics By Kerli!
Life is my creation
Is my best friend
Imagination
Is my defense
And I'll keep walking
When skies are grey
Whatever happens was meant that way
You're no better or no worse than the others
We are all the same
And life is just a moment
You might as well enjoy this day
It's time to start believing
That everything you want is on it's way
We'll be growing
Into knowing
While we're floating
Keep on going

I didnt know exactly where to put it but since it is a quote and it just made my day and it sounded really wise then here it is...
I had a task. How Id explain several things to a 4-years-old. Since I had trouble with some words, i asked a friend of mine who has a cute 2 years older daughter. And one his answer was so good that it made my great day just perfect. :-D
I asked him, how he would explain the internet to his daughter. he said: "Internet is from devil and no net before you become 18". In estonian it sounded so good. :D
so we all are dealing with the devil :-D

"The fact that there are a lot of German professors at Swiss universities cannot be explained by saying that the German universities produce the best academics. The opposite is true: if the German universities were better, we wouldn't have so many German professors in Switzerland." Roger Köppel in the latest edition of Weltwoche. Love the guy.
some quotes about time by different people:
the present is the state between the good old times and the even better future (zarko petan)
we don't have too little time,there's just too much time that we don't use (seneca)
the strangest thing about the future is the idea that they will call our time today the good old times (john steinbeck)
life is short,less because of its shortness but rather because we don't take enough of this time to enjoy (rousseau)
time is only there because something happens and it's only there where it happens (ernst bloch)
time is a teacher,but unfortunately it kills it pupils (curt goetz)
the art of having time is the art of getting rid of the people who steal our time (emil oesch)
the time is bad? well you're there to make it better (thomas carlyle)
love at first sight saves a lot of time (unknown)
year: a period of 365 disappointments (ambrose bierce)
a beautiful watch shows you the time,a beautiful women makes you forget time (maurice chevalier)
the most precious thing in life is time,life means to deal with time in the right way (bruce lee)
