    You're weak, because you lack...hatred ~ Itachi Uchiha.

      Thanks for the comment but I disagree that this is motivational. I believe love shows greater strength than hatred. Hatred is a natural reaction to someone's actions and love is an unnatural act in the face of hatred.

      Everyone's inspiration is different right? What inspires you may not inspire me. And also, remember... you can not have 'hate' with out passion. Some one I love very much told me that and I've remembered it ever since.

      And passion is a driving force in accomplishing anything.

    There's a real fine line between love and hate. It depends on which direction you want to go. I prefer the positive energy of love myself.

    2. "Failure will never overtake me if my determination to succeed is strong enough." -Og Mandino (1923-1996)

    There's a great website where you can find all types of quotes. Peace.

      The stupidity of your actions is based upon the probability of someone watching you. (Don't know who said it, saw it on a bumper sticker once)

      I'm not sure that's exactly 'inspirational' but it could inspire someone to break their habit of picking their nose or something.

      Your last comment made me think of that, but my personal favorite is : You can not have a dream come true if you do not have a dream.

      Again, not sure who said it, but I attribute it to the business woman Mary Kay Ash.

    80% of success is just showing up. -- Woody Allen.
  15. EmpressWingMay
    Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.

    ~Mark Twain

    Those who don't feel this Love
    pulling them like a river,
    those who don't drink dawn
    like a cup of spring water
    or take in sunset like supper,
    those who don't want to change,

    let them sleep.

    This Love is beyond the study of theology,
    that old trickery and hypocrisy.
    If you want to improve your mind that way,

    sleep on.

    I've given up on my brain.
    I've torn the cloth to shreds
    and thrown it away.

    If you're not completely naked,
    wrap your beautiful robe of words
    around you,

    and sleep.

    --Rumi

    The greatest essence of life is Existence itself. Existence is the true meaning of life, love and peace.

    Ask yourself-
    What can Science do without Human?
    What can Religion do without Human?
    What can Faith do without Human?
    And What can Human do without The Creator.

    "Some are born great.
    Some achieve greatness.
    And some have greatness thrust upon them"

    Malvolio: Twelfth Night by William Shakespeare is one of my favorites. There are many good quotes in his works.

    For parents. . .

    If you think your child is too young to learn to play rummy, then start with go fish. By the weekend she’ll know how to play rummy.

    A secret to keeping pace with your child’s development---that is, allowing your child's curiosity, interest and motivation to rise to their natural level---is to forget about the age factor. Think instead of the skill factor. What is your child capable of right now?

    -A Vecchioni

    If you think you are beaten, you are
    if you think you dare not, you don't
    success begins with your own will
    it's all in your state of mind
    Life's battles are not always won by
    those who are stronger and faster
    Sooner or later, the person who wins
    Is the person who thinks they can

    Never violate a woman
    Never harm a child
    Protect the weak against the evil strong
    Don't let thoughts of gain lead to commit evil acts
    It is not enough to say I am not evil, evil must be fought wherever it is found.
