Definition of Success

 Emerson's Definition of Success


"To laugh often and much; 
to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; 
to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends;
 to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others;
 to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; 
to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. 
This is to have succeeded."

--Ralph Waldo Emerson

“ Sometimes it seems to me that all of life is a struggle
 to contain the natural impulses of the body and spirit,
and that what we call character represents
 only the degree to which we are 
successful. ”

fly...

“Because that’s what people do. They leap, and hope to God they can fly, because otherwise. you just drop like a rock, wondering the whole way down, why in the hell did I jump? But here I am, falling, and the only one that makes me feel like I can fly… is you.”
— ~ Hitch

“Ever since happiness heard your name, its been running through the streets trying to find you.”

~ Hafiz

“Never lie, steal, cheat, or drink But if you must lie, lie in the arms of the one you love. If you must steal, steal away from bad company. If you must cheat, cheat death. And if you must drink, drink in the moments that take your breath away.”

— ~ Hitch

“…Your light is seen, your heart is known, your soul is cherished by more people than you might imagine…If you knew how many others have been touched in wonderful ways by you, you would be astonished. If you knew how many people feel so much for you, you would be shocked…You are far more wonderful than you think you are… Rest with that. Rest easy with that. Breathe again. You are doing fine. More than fine. Better than fine. You’re doin’ great. So relax. And love yourself today.” - Neale Donald Walsch

upside down..

“No matter how upside down it all may temporarily appear, we will have no fear because we know this secret: life is crazily in love with us — wildly and innocently in love with us. The universe always gives us exactly what we need, exactly when we need it.”

— ~ Rob Brezny

"Clothes are inevitable. They are nothing less than the furniture of the mind made visible."
~ James Laver

So Much Things To Say

by: Bob Marley

on the subject of love

Thronus cupidinis is a delightful miniature emblem book on the subject of love. This third edition, with 34 emblems by Crispijn van de Passe, has added Dutch quatrains by the Amsterdam poet Gerbrand Adriaenszoon Bredero. The verse dedication to the young Louis de Montgommery, Comte de Ducé is by Crispijn van de Passe and the sonnet on love devoted to "Aux dames de France" is by Pierre de Ronsard. Each emblem is accompanied by verses in Latin, Dutch and French. The emblem shown here depicting cupids at play has the Latin verse "Quid Amor quam vera Palaestra?" (What is love other than a real wrestling school?). It conceals further meanings. Palaestra, a wrestling school, was also a euphemism for a brothel and in Greek various love-making positions were called after wrestling holds.
