Favorite Quote

We must learn to rewaken and keep ourselves awake,

not by mechanical aids, but by an infinite expectation of the dawn,

which does not forsake us in our soundest sleep.

I know of no more encouraging fact than the unquestionable ability of a person

to elevate his or her life by a conscious endeavor.

It is something to be able to paint a particular picture,

or to carve a statue, and so to make a few objects beautiful;

but it is far more glorious to carve and paint the very atmosphere

and medium through which we look, which morally we can do.

To affect the quality of the day,

that is the highest of arts!

Everyone is tasked to make his or her life, even in its details,

worthy of the comteplation of his or her most elevated and critical hour. I went to the the woods because I wished to live deliberately,

to find only the essential facts of life,

and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not.

So when I came to die, discover living is so dear..

I wanted to live deep and suck out the very essence, the marrow of life,

to live so sturdily and Spartan-like as to put to rout all that was not Life

Our Life is frittered away by details.

Why should we live in such hurry and of waste of life?

We are determined to be starved before we are hungry.

-Henry David Thoreau

Even though I am a jokester at heart, the intellectual side of me thinks to much :)

Over the years i`ve written a few thoughts at different times of my life. Below are some of these...

"If my Future is the Doorway to my Destiny,

then Let my Past be a Glass Mirror; Let its reflection teach my Present

from which to live my Life studiously" -May 95

"And as I opened my eyes tears fell, for I knew that Death was the greatest Beauty of Life; In that moment I understood Truth" -Jul 96

"In all my memories of Living, I found Truth in nothing more than a speck of sand" -Sept 96

"It is true no man likes to consider himself weak. Yet it is one`s weakness that tests one`s growth of character. Will, the force that binds, connects your spirit, perseverance is the key. To have great strength, temper your Will to a fine degree, letting nothing, no obstacle, no person, no reality stand in your way of complete Self Awareness" -Feb 97
