The "stories" we choose to tell about our past
are never what a video camera would have recorded.

while the other brings us joy. I choose joy.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

From one point of view, one individual's vote
doesn't make any difference whatsoever.
The probability of an election swinging
by a single vote is infinitesimal.
On the other hand, if everybody took the attitude
that voting didn't matter, there could never
be a democratically elected government - at all.
So, does your vote matter? You bet your vote matters.
And, at least as much as your vote matters,
your intention for the future of the world matters.
That's so important, it's worth saying again.
At Least As Much As Your Vote Matters,
Your Intention For The Future Of The Entire World Matters.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

When you are alone you are not alone,
you are simply lonely -
and there is a tremendous difference
between loneliness and aloneness.
When you are lonely you are thinking of the other,
you are missing the other.
Loneliness is a negative state.
You are feeling that it would have been
better if the other were there -
your friend, your wife, your mother,
your beloved, your husband.
It would have been good if the other
were there, but the other is not.
Loneliness is absence of the other.
Aloneness is the presence of oneself.
Aloneness is very positive.
It is a presence, overflowing presence.
You are so full of presence
that you can fill the whole universe
with your presence and there is no need for anybody.
- Osho

Each of us is of infinite value,
and each of us has the ability to make
a profound difference in the lives we touch.
We leave our most profoundly positive impact
on those around us by the nature of our lives
and the example we set -
not by how busy we are,
or how important we believe we are.
Setting an example of being loving, relaxed and joyful,
regardless of external circumstances,
is a great legacy for our family and for the world.
Self importance - ego - is not a path to happiness.
Focusing one's whole life on responsibilities,
without taking time for self-renewal and play,
abandons the joy and the true value of life.
I want my tombstone to read, "Inspired others,"
rather than, "Never missed a day at the office."
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

The shepherd drives the wolf from the sheep's throat,
for which the sheep thanks the shepherd as a liberator,
while the wolf denounces him for the same act
as the destroyer of liberty,
especially as the sheep was a black one.
Plainly the sheep and the wolf are not agreed
upon a definition of the word liberty;
and precisely the same difference
prevails today among us human creatures
- Abraham Lincoln

There's a fine line between genius and insanity.
I have erased this line.
- Oscar Levant

Faced with the choice between changing one's mind
and proving that there is no need to do so,
almost everyone gets busy on the proof.

and hypocritical humility.

a month before she marries him
and what she thinks of him a year afterward,

Life is a constant oscillation
between the sharp horns of dilemmas.

between where I am,
and where I want to be.
Because of all I may become,
I will close my eyes and leap.

Love one another but make not a bond of love.
Let it rather be a moving sea
between the shores of your souls.

that place where you can still remember dreaming?
That's where I'll always think of you.

My rule of life prescribed as an absolutely sacred rite
smoking cigars and also the drinking of alcohol
before, after and if need be during all meals
and in the intervals between them.
- Winston Churchill

Suspended between earth and sky,
my humanity draws from both,
my tendrils reach for the energies of each.
Spirit and Ground - equal yet opposite,
the lightness and the solidarity,
the ephemeral and the substantial.
The substantial is no more and no less
than the ephemeral - merely different.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

Between believing a thing and thinking you KNOW

The pendulum of the mind alternates
between sense and nonsense,
not between right and wrong.

between the genius and his human qualities
that one has to ask oneself whether
a little less talent might not have been better.
- Carl Jung

We have nearly complete misunderstanding between
people of different faiths in Lake Wobegon,
and that's probably one reason why we get along so very well.
It's when you are trying to convince another person to think
the same way that you do that there is
friction and trouble between people.
But when you feel that the other person is
dumber than dirt, too dumb for words -
why waste your breath - you get along pretty well.
There's no bond between people that's quite so strong as
when people each feel slightly superior towards the other one.
- Garrison Keillor

The best bridge between despair and hope is a good night's sleep.
- E. Joseph Cossman

Life is a balance between rest and movement.
- Osho

Every mind must make its choice
between truth and repose.
It cannot have both.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson

Sadness is but a wall between two gardens.
- Khalil Gibran

What is happiness except the simple harmony
between a man and the life he leads?
- Albert Camus

Optimism is the harmony between man's spirit
and of God pronouncing His works good.
- Helen Keller

At the bottom of enmity between strangers lies indifference.

As every divided kingdom falls,
so every mind divided between
many studies confounds and saps itself.

Laughter is day, and sobriety is night;
a smile is the twilight that hovers gently between both,
more bewitching than either.

we shall find that we have lost the future.
- Winston Churchill
