This is for u sis...

This post is dedicated to my sis..who means all the following and more to me at times...

“For there is no friend like a sister, in calm or stormy weather, to cheer one on the tedious way, to fetch one if one goes astray, to lift one if one totters down, to strengthen whilst one stands.”

“A sister is one who reaches for your hand and touches your heart.”

“A sister is a little bit of childhood that can never be lost.”

“Sister is probably the most competitive relationship within the family, but once the sisters are grown, it becomes the strongest relationship.”

“A sister is both your mirror - and your opposite.”

“Is solace anywhere more comforting than that in the arms of a sister.”

“There can be no situation in life in which the conversation of my dear sister will not administer some comfort to me.”

“Both within the family and without, our sisters hold up our mirrors: our images of who we are and of who we can dare to be.”

Daffodils

I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o’er vales and hills.
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.

The waves beside them danced; but they
Outdid the sparkling waves in glee;
A poet could not but be gay
In such a jocund company!
I gazed - and gazed - but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:

For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.

The Solitary Reaper

BEHOLD her, single in the field,
Yon solitary Highland Lass!
Reaping and singing by herself;
Stop here, or gently pass!
Alone she cuts and binds the grain,
And sings a melancholy strain;
O listen! for the Vale profound
Is overflowing with the sound.
No Nightingale did ever chaunt
More welcome notes to weary bands
Of travellers in some shady haunt,
Among Arabian sands:
A voice so thrilling ne'er was heard
In spring-time from the Cuckoo-bird,
Breaking the silence of the seas
Among the farthest Hebrides.
Will no one tell me what she sings?—
Perhaps the plaintive numbers flow
For old, unhappy, far-off things,
And battles long ago:
Or is it some more humble lay,
Familiar matter of to-day?
Some natural sorrow, loss, or pain,
That has been, and may be again?
Whate'er the theme, the Maiden sang
As if her song could have no ending;
I saw her singing at her work,
And o'er the sickle bending;—
I listen'd, motionless and still;
And, as I mounted up the hill,
The music in my heart I bore,
Long after it was heard no more. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807-1882) A PSALM OF LIFE WHAT THE HEART OF THE YOUNG MAN SAID TO THE PSALMIST TELL me not, in mournful numbers, Life is but an empty dream ! — For the soul is dead that slumbers, And things are not what they seem. Life is real ! Life is earnest! And the grave is not its goal ; Dust thou art, to dust returnest, Was not spoken of the soul. Not enjoyment, and not sorrow, Is our destined end or way ; But to act, that each to-morrow Find us farther than to-day. Art is long, and Time is fleeting, And our hearts, though stout and brave, Still, like muffled drums, are beating Funeral marches to the grave. In the world's broad field of battle, In the bivouac of Life, Be not like dumb, driven cattle ! Be a hero in the strife ! Trust no Future, howe'er pleasant ! Let the dead Past bury its dead ! Act,— act in the living Present ! Heart within, and God o'erhead ! Lives of great men all remind us We can make our lives sublime, And, departing, leave behind us Footprints on the sands of time ; Footprints, that perhaps another, Sailing o'er life's solemn main, A forlorn and shipwrecked brother, Seeing, shall take heart again. Let us, then, be up and doing, With a heart for any fate ; Still achieving, still pursuing, Learn to labor and to wait.

Quotes -II

"I love quotations because it is a joy to find thoughts one might have, beautifully expressed with much authority by someone recognizably wiser than oneself."

“It is a good thing for an uneducated man to read books of quotations. The quotations, when engraved upon the memory, give you good thoughts. They also make you anxious to read the authors and look for more.”

“Quotations will tell the full measure of meaning, if you have enough of them."

“You know somebody, and they cry for you. They stay awake at night and dream of you. I bet you never even know they do, but somebody's crying for you.”

"I’m going to smile and make you think I’m happy, I’m going to laugh, so you don’t see me cry, I’m going to let you go in style, and even if it kills me- I’m going to smile"

“I miss you when something really good happens, because you are the one I want to share it with. I miss you when something is troubling me, because you are the one who understands me so well. I miss you when I laugh and cry because i know that you are the one that makes my laughter grow and my tears disappear. I miss you all the time, but I miss you most when i lay awake at night and think of all the wonderful times we spent with eachother;for those were some of the best times of my life."

“Somewhere there is someone that dreams of your smile, and finds in your presence that life is worthwhile, so when you are lonely remember it’s true, someone somewhere is thinking of you."

“When a love comes to an end, weaklings cry, efficient ones instantly find another love, and the wise already have one in reserve."

"No man is worth your tears, but once you find one that is, he won't make you cry"

“You must be strong now. You must never give up. And when people make you cry and you are afraid of the dark, don't forget the light is always there."

“I've learned that good-byes will always hurt, pictures will never replace having been there, memories good and bad will bring tears, and words can never replace feelings."

“Don't cry over anyone who won't cry over you"

“Keep me away from the wisdom which does not cry, the philosophy which does not laugh and the greatness which does not bow before children."

“You learn to like someone when you find out what makes them laugh, but you can never truly love someone until you find out what makes them cry."

"True love doesn't come to you, it has to be inside you.”

“You know it's love when all you want is that person to be happy, even if you're not part of their happiness.”

"I believe that two people are connected at the heart, and it doesn't matter what you do, or who you are or where you live; there are no boundaries or barriers if two people are destined to be together.”

“One of the hardest things in life is having words in your heart that you can't utter"

Quotes!!

I shall fill in my blog with some of the beautiful quotes that i am fond of.Quotes are something wich tell the truth and put a smile on our face!..I think wisdom quotes increase our knowledge and make it easier to face life as they speak of the truth!..

May Sarton:
Loneliness is the poverty of self; solitude is the richness of self


Pearl S. Buck:
I love people. I love my family, my children . . . but inside myself is a place where I live all alone and that's where you renew your springs that never dry up.

Ralph Waldo Emerson:
What I must do is all that concerns me, not what the people think. This rule, equally arduous in actual and intellectual life, may serve for the whole distinction between greatness and meanness. It is the harder, because you will always find those who think they know what is your duty better than you know it. It is easy in the world to live after the world's opinion; it is easy in solitude to live after our own; but the great person is one who in the midst of the crowd keeps with perfect sweetness the independence of solitude.

Anaïs Nin:
Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born.


Anna Garlin Spencer:
The friendship between a man and a woman which does
not lead to marriage or desire for marriage may be a life long
experience of the greatest value to themselves and to all their
circle of acquaintance and of activity; but for this type of
friendship both a rare man and a rare woman are needed.
Perhaps it should be added that either the man or the woman
thus deeply bound in lifelong friendship who seeks marriage
must find a still rarer man or woman to wed, to make such a
three cornered comradeship a permanent success.

C.S. Lewis:
Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another: "What! You, too? Thought I was the only one."


Confucius:
Silence is the true friend that never betrays.

Deng Ming-Dao:
Those truly linked don't need correspondence. When they meet again after many years apart, Their friendship is as true as ever.

Eleanor Roosevelt:
Friendship with oneself is all important because without it one cannot be friends with anybody else in the world.

Friedrich Nietzsche:
It is not a lack of love, but a lack of friendship that makes unhappy marriages.

George Eliot:
Perhaps the most delightful friendships are those in which there is much agreement, much disputation, and yet more personal liking.


George Santayana:
The loneliest woman in the world is a woman without a close woman friend.

Mark Twain:
Good friends, good books and a sleepy conscience: this is the ideal life.


Rabindranath Tagore:
Depth of friendship does not depend on length of acquaintance.

Robert Louis Stevenson:
We are all travelers in the wilderness of this world, and the best we can find in our travels is an honest friend.


HH the Dalai Lama:
This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness.


Mark Twain:
All schools, all colleges, have two great functions: to confer, and to conceal, valuable knowledge. The theological knowledge which they conceal cannot justly be regarded as less valuable than that which they reveal. That is, when a man is buying a basket of strawberries it can profit him to know that the bottom half of it is rotten.
