“When you hold resentment toward another, you are bound to that person or condition by an emotional link that is stronger than steel. Forgiveness is the only way to dissolve that link and get free.” Catherine Ponder

Good quotes. I feel the same way. :hug:

Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.
Lao Tzu

All the art of living lies in a fine mingling of letting go and holding on.
Henry Ellis

"Here's what I think, Mr. Wind-Up Bird," said May Kasahara. "Everybody's born with some different thing at the core of their existence. And that thing, whatever it is, becomes like a heat source that runs each person from the inside. I have one too, of course. Like everybody else. But sometimes it gets out of hand. It swells or shrinks inside me, and it shakes me up. What I'd really like to do is find a way to communicate that feeling to another person. But I can't seem to do it. They just don't get it. Of course, the problem could be that I'm not explaining it very well, but I think it's because they're not listening very well. They pretend to be listening, but they're not, really. So I get worked up sometimes, and I do some crazy things."

— Haruki Murakami (The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle)

"I can't trust a man who doesn't drink, because a man who doesn't drink doesn't trust himself."
- Hemingway -

"If by supporting the rights of mankind I shall save from the agonies of death one unfortunate victim of tyranny, or of ignorance, equally fatal, his blessings will be sufficient consolation to me for the contempt of all mankind."
- John Adams - (quoting the Marquis of Beccaria)

"Critics who treat adult as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up."
- C. S. Lewis -

"If you want truth to stand clear before you, never be for or against. The struggle between "for" and "against" is the mind's worst disease."
- Sent-ts'an -

"The defining character of American constitutional government is its constant tension between security and liberty, serving both by partial helpings of each."
- Justice Souter -

"I count him braver who overcomes his desires, than him who conquers his enemies; for the hardest victory is over self."
- Aristotle -

A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly.

-Robert Heinlein

It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell.

-Buddha
