What consumes your mind, controls your life. –Creed

Real integrity is doing the right thing knowing that nobody is going to know whether you did it or not. –Oprah Winfrey

You closed your eyes. That was the difference. Sometimes you cannot believe what you see, you have to believe what you feel. And if you are ever going to have other people trust you, you must feel that you can trust them, too -- even when you’re in the dark. Even when you’re falling. -Mitch Albom, Tuesdays with Morrie

The cracks in the concrete just remind me that no matter how strong you are, you'll just fall apart anyway.

Dealing with back stabbers, there was one thing I learned. They're only powerful when you got your back turned. - Eminem

When you spend your life worrying about how others feel, you lose track of how you feel.

You gotta take some chances, you gotta risk losing it all, you gotta close your eyes and leap because it just might be worth the fall.

Don't base your decisions on the advice of the people who don't have to deal with the results.

Don't cry about loss, God never takes anything away without replacing it.

Sometimes you have to forgive people, just because you want them back in your life.

Its been a hard week, chasing down these miles, trying desperately to find a reason to smile. -Randy Rogers

Just because you have one doesn't give you the right to ACT like one.

Always take comfort in knowing that you are independent enough, that you don't need to rely on anyone else for your own happiness.

Close your eyes and you wont see any reasons holding you back. -Emma Bielski

Never ask a man where he is from; if he's from Texas, he'll tell you, and if he's not - don't embarrass him.

Great people don't react to situations, they respond.

It is the quiet moments, the moments out of the spotlight, that most defines character -Winston Churchill

One half of knowing what you want is knowing what you must give up before you get it. -Sidney Howard

Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgment that something else is more important then fear. -Ambrose Redmoon

Life would be infinitely happier if we could only be born at the age of eighty and gradually approach eighteen.- Mark Twain

Worry more about your character than your reputation. Character is what you are, reputation is merely what others think you are.

I don't believe that life is supposed to make you feel good, or to make you feel miserable either. Life is just supposed to make you feel.

Life is a series of pulls back and forth. You want to do one thing, but you are bound to do something else. Something hurts you, yet you know it shouldn't. You take certain things for granted, even when you know you should never take anything for granted. -Mitch Albom, Tuesdays with Morrie

Nothing was mine, except my heart, and my fears. And my growing knowledge that not every road was going to lead home anymore. -The Wonder Years

There is nothing about a caterpillar that tells you it's going to be a butterfly.

"The more things change, the more they stay the same." I'm not sure who was the first person was who said that, probably Shakespeare or maybe Sting, but at the moment that sentence that best explains my tragic flaw--my inability to change. I don't think I'm wrong in this. The more I get to know other people, the more I realize it's kind of everyone's flaw. Staying exactly the same for as long as possible. Standing perfectly still, it feels better somehow. And if you are suffering, at least the pain is familiar, because if you took that leap of faith, went outside the box, did something unexpected, who knows what other pain might be waiting out there; chances are could be even worse. So you maintain the status quo, choose the road already traveled, and it doesn't seem that bad--not as far as flaws go--you're not a drug addict, not killing anyone, except maybe yourself, a little. When we finally do change, I don't think it happens like an earthquake, or an explosion, or all of a sudden you're like this different person. I think it's smaller than that, the kind of thing most people wouldn't even notice unless they look really really close. Which thank God they never do, but you notice it. Inside you, that change feels like a world of difference and you hope that it is, and that this is a person that you get to be forever, that you'll never have to change again. -Everwood
