Just seeing how this goes I have a ton more and would love to hear any that any one else has wether it's from emails, your own, something you hear or came across ect..... ;D 1) "He who is alone and falleth, hath not someone to help him up" 2) "The only road to success is hard work" 3) "We cannot choose who to love, only who's love to accept" 4) "Don't wait for something to come to you, go get it yourself before its too late" 5) "Truth is the strongest bond that exists between two people. If you lie or break a promise then you have broken that bond, which is something only time can heal" 6) "Seize the moment and live every day like it was your last" 7) "Always be yurself. If somebody doesn't like you for who you are then they aren't worth the trouble you are going through for them" 8) "I bought into what was sold and ended up with nothing" 9) "When all thats left to do, is reflect on whats been done, This is where sadness breathes, the sadness of everyone" 10) "once bread becomes toast, it can never go back to being bread again" 11) "If at first you don't succeed, try again, then quit. You don't have to be a damn fool about it" 12) "I may not be as smart as you but i know ugly when i see it" 13) "If you wanna get laid, crawl up a chicken's ass and wait" 14) "If you love something, set it free. If it comes back it was meant to be" 15) "What does not destroy you will only make you stronger" 16) "ya know what the good thing about pain is? it lets you know you're still alive" And one from shakespear's Romeo and Juliet: 17) "Oh, she doth teach the torches to burn bright It seems she hangs upon the cheek of night As rich as a jewel in an ethiops ear Beauty too rich for use, For earth too dear So shows a snowy dove trooping with crows As yonder lady o'er her fellows shows The measure done, I'll watch her place of stand And, touching her, make blessed my rude hand Did my heart love till now? forswear it, sight For i ne'er saw true beauty till this night" 18) "If you are all wrapped up in yourself, you are overdressed" 19) "Diplomacy is the art of knowing what not to say" 20) "If you wish to be held in esteem, you must associate only with those who are estimable"

this is for the girls!! sorry guys it's a little mushy ;D Why do Women Cry? A little boy asked his mother, "Why are you crying?" "Because I'm a woman," she told him. "I don't understand," he said. His Mom just hugged him and said, "And you never will." Later the little boy asked his father, "Why does mother seem to cry for no reason?" "All women cry for no reason," was all his dad could say. The little boy grew up and became a man, still wondering why women cry. Finally he asked God. He said, "God, why do women cry so easily?" God said: " When I made the woman she had to be special. I made her shoulders strong enough to carry the weight of the world, yet gentle enough to give comfort. I gave her an inner strength to endure childbirth and the rejection that many times comes from her children. I gave her a hardness that allows her to keep going when everyone else gives up, and take care of her family through sickness and fatigue without complaining. I gave her the sensitivity to love her children under any and all circumstances, even when her child has hurt her very badly. I gave her strength to carry her husband through his faults and fashioned her from his rib to protect his heart. I gave her wisdom to know that a good husband never hurts his wife, but sometimes tests her strengths and her resolve to stand beside him unfalteringly. And finally, I gave her a tear to shed. This is hers exclusively to use whenever it is needed." "You see my son," said God, "the beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman must be seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart - the place where love resides."

" 73) "Immature love says: i Love You because I need you. mature love say: I need you because i Love You!" 74) "What you discover on your own is always more exciting than what someone discovers for you.
