"My fear is my only courage" ... Bob Marley

""Lord grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference." -- Reinhold Niebuhr
All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost,
From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
a light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be the blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king. -- Tolkien
Frodo: "I wish the ring had never come to me -- I wish none of this had ever happened." Gandalf: "So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought." -- Tolkien
Aragorn: "Sons of Gondor, of Rohan, my brothers: I see it in your eyes, the same fear that would take the heart of me. A day may come when the courage of men fails, when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship, but it is not this day! An hour of wolves and shattered shields when the age of men comes crashing down, but it is not this day! This day we fight!" -- Tolkien
Velveteen Rabbit: Does 'real' mean having things that buzz inside you and a handle that sticks out? Rocking Horse: 'Real' isn't how you're made, it's a thing that happens to you. Love makes you real.When a child loves you for a long, long time, not just to play with, but really loves you, then you've become real. Once you're real, you can't become un-real again. It lasts for always.
-- Margery Williams, The Velveteen Rabbit
"In the arena of human life the honours and rewards fall to those who show their good qualities." Aristotle (384 BC - 322 BC), Nicomachean Ethics (4th c. BC). Friendship is a form of virtue, and is of three kinds. Some love from utility, to obtain what they wish, others from pleasure. True friendship is rare, as good men are rare.
Ah, when to the heart of man
Was i...Expand for more
t ever less than a treason
To go with the drift of things,
To yield with a grace to reason,
And bow and accept the end
Of a love or a season? -- Robert Frost
Jack: Why love, if losing hurts so much? I have no answers anymore: only the life I have lived. Twice in that life I've been given the choice: as a boy and as a man. The boy chose safety, the man chooses suffering. The pain now is part of the happiness then. That's the deal.
-- Shadowlands 1993
Think where man's glory most begins and ends
And say my glory was I had such friends--WB Yeats
Kicking Bird (Dances with Wolves) - "I was just thinking that of all the trails in this life there is one that matters most. It is the trail of a true human being. I think you are on this trail and it is good to see."
"It appears my hypocrisy knows no bounds." --spoken by Doc Holiday in Tombstone
Where there is hatred, let me bring love
Where there is doubt, let me bring faith
Where there is falsehood, let me bring truth
...Where there is pain, I'll comfort you
Where there is silence, let me sing praise
Where there's despair, let me bring hope
Where there is blindness, let me bring sight
Where there is darkness, let me bring light
And with these words I speak
Grant that I may not so seek
To be heard but to hear
To be consoled but to console,
Not to be seen, but to see
To be loved but to love
For when we give love we will receive
When we forgive love, we'll find reprieve
It is in dying we'll be released
Make me an instrument of peace
--St Francis of Assissi".

"Think where man's glory most begins and ends and say my glory was I had such friends."

"Anyway, I keep picturing all these little kids playing some game in this big field of rye and all. Thousands of little kids, and nobody's around - nobody big, I mean - except me. And I'm standing on the edge of some crazy cliff. What I have to do, I have to catch everybody if they start to go over the cliff - I mean if they're running and they don't look where they're going I have to come out from somewhere and catch them. That's all I do all day. I'd just be the catcher in the rye and all. I know it's crazy, but that's the only thing I'd really like to be."
~J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye, Chapter 22,
spoken by the character Holden Caulfield
Doc Holliday: "I'm your huckleberry... "
Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove:
O no! it is an ever-fixed mark
That looks on tempests and is never shaken;
It is the star to every wandering bark,
Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken. - Shakespeare, Sonnet 116".
