 By all means marry; if you get a good wife, you'll be happy. If you get a bad one, you'll become a philosopher.
Death may be the greatest of all human blessings.
Do not do to others what angers you if done to you by others.
Envy is the ulcer of the soul.
Get not your friends by bare compliments, but by giving them sensible tokens of your love.
If a man is proud of his wealth, he should not be praised until it is known how he employs it.
Regard your good name as the richest jewel you can possibly be possessed of - for credit is like fire; when once you have kindled it you may easily preserve it, but if you once extinguish it, you will find it an arduous task to rekindle it again.
The way to gain a good reputation is to endeavor to be what you desire to appear.
Remember that there is nothing stable in human affairs; therefore avoid undue elation in prosperity, or undue depression in adversity.
Remember what is unbecoming to do is also unbecoming to speak of.
The only good is knowledge and the only evil is ignorance.
The shortest and surest way to live with honour in the world, is to be in reality what we would appear to be; and if we observe, we shall find, that all human virtues increase and strengthen themselves by the practice of them.
Think not those faithful who praise all thy words and actions; but those who kindly reprove thy faults.
Thou shouldst eat to live; not live to eat.
Having the fewest wants, I am nearest to the gods. Socrates, from Diogenes Laertius, Lives of Eminent Philosophers
I know nothing except the fact of my ignorance. Socrates, from Diogenes Laertius, Lives of Eminent Philosophers
There is only one good, knowledge, and one evil, ignorance. Socrates, from Diogenes Laertius, Lives of Eminent Philosophers
Bad men live that they may eat and drink, whereas good men eat and drink that they may live. Socrates, from Plutarch, How a Young Man Ought to Hear Poems
I am not an Athenian or a Greek, but a citizen of the world. Socrates, from Plutarch, Of Banishment
I decided that it was not wisdom that enabled to write their poetry, but a kind of instinct or inspiration, such as you find in seers and prophets who deliver all their sublime messages without knowing in the least what they mean. Socrates, In "Apology," sct. 21, by Plato.
The hour of departure has arrived, and we go our ways - I to die, and you to live. Which is better God only knows. Socrates, in Plato, Dialogues, Apology
The unexamined life is not worth living. Socrates, in Plato, Dialogues, Apology
I do nothing but go about persuading you all, old and young alike, not to take thought for your persons or your properties, but and chiefly to care about the greatest improvement of the soul. I tell you that virtue is not given by money, but that from virtue comes money and every other good of man, public as well as private. This is my teaching, and if this is the doctrine which corrupts the youth, I am a mischievous person. Socrates, quoted by Plato, 'The Death of Socrates'
The hour of departure has arrived, and we go our ways--I to die and you to live. Which is the better, only God knows. Socrates, Quoted in: Plato's Apology, sct. 42a. Last words of his speech to the court following the sentence of death imposed on him by the Athenians.
The Little Grapevine (Author Unknown)
Once upon a time there was a little grape stem. She was so glad to be alive. She drank water and minerals from the soil and grew and grew. She was young and strong and could manage quite well... All by Herself.
But the wind was cruel, the rain was harsh, and the snow was not one bit understanding. The little grape stem experienced pain. She drooped, weak and suffering. "It would be so easy to stop trying to grow, To stop trying to live," thought the little stem. She felt poorly. The winter was long, and she was weary.
But then the little stem heard a voice. It was another grape stem calling out to her... "Here, reach out, hang on to me." But the little stem hesitated. "What would this mean?" she wondered. For you see, the little stem had always managed quite well... All by herself.
Then ever so cautiously, she reached out toward the other grape stem. "See, I can help you," it said. "Just wind your tendrils about me, and I will help you lift your head." And the little stem trusted. Suddenly, she could stand straight again.
The wind came... and the rain... and the snow. But when it came, the little stem was clinging to many other stems. And although the stems were swayed by the wind, and frozen by the snow, they stood strongly united to each other and in their quiet strength, they could smile and grow.
One day, the little stem said, "Here, hang on... I will help you. And another stem reached up to the little grape stem. And together, all stems grew... leaves budded ... flowers bloomed ... and finally the grapes formed.... and the grapes fed many.
"The value of a man should be seen in what he gives and not in what he is able to receive."
Have a great weekend! Dora Saunier
When you trust your assertiveness, you have the Ability to express yourself and the ability to Communicate your feelings, wants and needs. You are Less dependent on others and more in control of your Own life.
When you assert yourself, you make your own Choices. You make room for your confidence to Explode. Practice confident assertion by saying, "Yes" to the things you want to do and, "No" to the Things you don't.
Don't be afraid or feel guilty for asserting yourself. You have nothing to lose. You will only become Stronger and more self sufficient, and in turn your Self respect and self worth will shine!

It doesn't matter what you wear
What you eat or what you weigh.
Who cares if your hair's a total mess
Or if you're hundreds of miles away?
To see you in my cont! act list
Whenever you're online
Reminds me of how glad I am
That you're all friends of mine!
Whenever I need to rant or rave
You're always there for me,
You hear me out on everything
And we so rarely disagree!
Whether there's a problem to solve
Or a funny story to tell,
Though we listen with our eyes,
We understand each other so well.
We've got games right at our fingertips
And funny greetings too,
Whenever I'm at my computer,
There's ALWAYS! ! ! ! ! ! something to do! So here's to you, my cyber friends,
You really are the best!!
You make the web sure feel like home
And for that I feel so blessed!

If one day you feel like crying... Call me. I don't promise that I will make you laugh, But I can cry with you.
If one day you want to run away... Don't be afraid to call me. I don't promise to ask you to stop... But I can run with you.
If one day you don't want to listen to anyone... Call me. I promise to be there for you. And I promise to be very quiet.
But if one day you call... And there is no answer... Come fast to see me. Maybe I need you.

If I ever ignored you. I'm Sorry... If I ever made you feel bad or put you down. I'm Sorry... Don't ever forget that! Through bad times and good, I'll always be here for you.
I am Sorry... For everything wrong I've ever done. I'm writing this because what if tomorrow never comes? What if I never get to say good-bye or give You a BIG hug?

Remember There are sorrows which are like rivers waterfalls, slip and fall soft on your life without stopping to obstacles, and then lead to the beaches of your future happiness. When you notice that your eyes lose the brightness of the evening, remember that in the morning the sun comes up, who will make your day start your day ... so I always wait for the morning with your head up. All you could perceive troubles in life are meant to remember that you still have the taste to distinguish good from bad. You only live one day at a time. So even if you hurry, you have to wait 24 hours to see tomorrow. Much love in heaven for you. I want to remind you that there will always be open source and heavy rainfall will you keep in your mind how important you are to God, who loves intense and strong hugs to ever leave you. You are the heartbeat of Jesus. You are the reason for his arrival into the world. You're the smile that touches your lips now and forever. Believe it, it's true! Whenever a judge shopping, make a stop in your thoughts and praise God for what they gave you to adorn any place where you are. Keep in mind that God manages your pain in a seamless manner, as only a Wise Father can do. Never forget that ... Life is a luxury. It is the exquisite taste to keep one foot over the other. Yes, life is a luxury. Luxury to love, to breathe, to dream and to be happy. So spend your life as if you were a millionaire. May your smile be similar to children when they know they are loved and that they see in this day you were born to get a touch on each of your heartbeats, you know the taste of perfume your mouth with words full of flavor inside you. And let the peace that surrounds the paternal heart of God is the one you keep saturated peace in this, your only day that suits you live. Being alive is one of the most beautiful gifts that you can keep both your spirit, your soul and eternal youth. So manifest your vivacity in everything you do, laugh like last time, dreams as children and make yourself a human being live and let live. * * * * * * * With pure love, Dora Saunier
The life of the people is really hard, almost no one comes into the world to ride. Most come to work. And work means to change things. Things are not right, things we want to be best for us and for others. But no use trying to fix the world, but ourselves. If we can fix things in us that we know are wrong we will have accomplished important work. We have to feed our dreams ... We always dream of better things, things we want to accomplish. Dream and act. Without action, the dreams end up dying of starvation. Within you are all the strength you need to do everything you want in life. This force can be very hidden, but she's there waiting for you to discover ... I hope that you have decided to take a turn in your life! So? Sure! Start by clearing your mind of bad thoughts. Give a "delete" that sucks in everything within you. Yes, make it clean! Drag it to the trash ... Sadness, fear, pessimism (this, then, forget it) and everything else that you consider negative and depressing. Try to think positive thoughts. Do you want your life or whatever life gives you happiness as a blessing, a gift? Happiness usually has to be earned, even if doing so have to suffer, cry, go through difficult times. But it all ends and only those who can not be happy or who does not try to stop trying. You want to stop trying now? If you do not want the whole life ahead of you will have to earn your happiness ... And what is happiness? Well, for me is to love life, love yourself, love and respect the people you love as yourself. But you are and always will be your best friend. So now that you do everything that would make the person most dear. Happiness is to understand that there getting this to learn and not to demand. Our evolution depends on the attitudes we take before each event. The claw for conforming to the laws of life allows us to achieve the transformation that leads to happiness. It is your own path and not on arrival, because it is dynamic not static. Happiness is a state of mind, independent of material things and other people. It's in your head and nothing and no one can deprive him of it, just yourself! So get to work ... In the work of moments to live for eternity, respecting and loving our brothers ... One day at a time ... = = = = = = = Have a nice day! Dora Saunier
