    Just found a great quote from Ludwig Tieck. I tried to translate it, even though my german isn't all that great: 'The wonderful utopia often lies directly under our feet, but we look through our telescopes too far from that spot'.

    (Original: Das wunderbare Utopien liegt oft direkt vor unseren Füßen, aber wir sehen mit unsern Teleskopen darüber hinweg.)

    Bitte korrigieren Sie, wenn ich Unrecht habe

    Suicide is the most sincere form of self-criticism

    :-)
    I sent my Soul through the Invisible,
    Some letter of that After-life to spell:
    And by and by my Soul return'd to me,
    And answer'd "I Myself am Heav'n and Hell :"

    I think it's Sun Tzu.
    At thunder and tempest, At the world's coldheartedness,
    During times of heavy loss And when you're sad
    The greatest art on earth Is to seem uncomplicatedly gay.

    To get things clear, they have to firstly be very unclear. But if you get them too quickly, you probably got them wrong.

    Welcome to My Album of QUOTATIONS :

    Welcome to my album of QUOTATIONS. Reading and assembling books of quotations is one of my hobbies. Whenever I'm feeling down or have a brooding personal problem, I turn to my books for some inspiration and words of wisdom. Listed below are some of my personal favorites……..

    “A dream becomes a goal when action is taken toward its achievement.”

    “Life is a tragedy for those who feel, and a comedy for those who think.”

    “Never pretend to a love which you do not actually feel, for love is not ours to command.”

    “May you live all the days of your life.”

    “The best and most beautiful things in this world cannot be seen or even heard, but must be felt with the heart.”

    “The best way to prepare for life is to begin to live.”

    “He is not a lover who does not love forever.”

    “Love is, above all, the gift of oneself.”

    "The Lord works from the inside out. The world works from the outside in. The world would take people out of the slums. Christ takes the slums out of the people and then they take themselves out of the slums. Christ changes men, who then changes their environment. The world would shape human behavior, but Christ can change human nature." ~ Ezra Taft Benson
