Our care should not be to have lived long as to have lived enough.
Better to rule in Hell than to serve in Heaven.
 
In a mad world, only the mad are sane.

If you don't respect the person you are talking to
- It doesn't matter WHAT they say
If you really loved me, you'd do something about my manipulative tendencies
As you slide down the bannister of life
may all the splinters be pointing in the right direction
Never let your memories be greater than your dreams

Falling Doesn't Make You a Failure,
Staying Down Does.

There is little difference in people. 
That little difference is attitude.
The big difference is
whether it is positive or negative
When electric currents go through them, guitars start making sounds. So would anybody
Rainbows are just to look at, not to really understand
Don't sneeze when someone is cutting your hair
 
And You worry that you just might be wrong?
