Love quetes


I don't wish to be everything to everyone, but I would like to be something to someone.


I had found a kind of serenity, a new maturity... I didn't feel better or stronger than anyone else but it seemed no longer important whether everyone loved me or not--more important now was for me to love them. Feeling that way turns your whole life around; living becomes the act of giving.


You can't blame gravity for falling in love.


I had learned to respect the intelligence, integrity, creativity and capacity for deep thought and hard work latent somewhere in every child; they had learned that I differed from them only in years and experience, and that as I, an ordinary human being, loved and respected them, I expected payment in kind.


I have felt it and lived it and now it leaves me here, love is the ultimate pain and joy, without it you die with it you perish.


I have found the paradox that if I love until it hurts, then there is no hurt, but only more love.


I have learned more about love, selflessness and human understanding in this great adventure in the world of AIDS than I ever did in the cut-throat, competitive world in which I spent my life.


For suddenly, I saw you there
And through foggy London town
The sun was shining everywhere...


For the memory of love is sweet, though the love itself were in vain. And what I have lost of pleasure, assuage what I find of pain.


For this is Wisdom; to love, to live To take what fate, or the Gods may give. To ask no question, to make no prayer, To kiss the lips and caress the hair, Speed passion's ebb as you greet its flow To have, - to hold - and - in time, - let go.


Forget love... I'd rather fall in chocolate.


Forgiveness breaks the chain of causality because he who forgives you -- out of love--takes upon himself the consequences of what you have done. Forgiveness, therefore, always entails a sacrifice.


Free love? as if love is anything but free. Man has bought brains, but all the millions in the world have failed to buy love.


Friends will keep you sane, Love could fill your heart, A lover can warm your bed, But lonely is the soul without a mate.

If you want to win friends, make it a point to remember them. If you remember my name, you pay me a subtle compliment; you indicate that I have made an impression on you. Remember my name and you add to my feeling of importance


If your friend is already dead, and being eaten by vultures, I think it's okay to feed some bits of your friend to one of the vultures, to teach him to do some tricks. But ONLY if you're serious about adopting the vulture.
- Deep Thoughts (Saturday Night Live)
-- Jack Handey

In everyone's life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirie

The happiness or unhappiness of men depends as much on their humors as on fortune.

Francois De La Rochefoucauld 1613-1680, French Classical Writer







A person who knows how to laugh at himself will never ceased to be amused.

Shirley Maclaine 1934-, American Actress






Any discussion of the problems of being funny in America will not make sense unless we substitute the word wit for humor. Humor inspires sympathetic good-natured laughter and is favored by the ''healing-power'' gang. Wit goes for the jugular, not the jocular, and it's the opposite of football; instead of building character, it tears it down.

Florence King 1936-, American Author, Critic




The hall-mark of American humor is its pose of illiteracy.

Ronald Knox 1888-1957, British Scholar, Priest




One should never risk a joke, even of the mildest and most unexceptional charters, except among people of culture and wit.

Jean De La Bruyere 1645-1696, French Writer






Good humor is a tonic for mind and body. It is the best antidote for anxiety and depression. It is a business asset. It attracts and keeps friends. It lightens human burdens. It is the direct route to serenity and contentment.
Grenville Kleiser 1868-1953, American Author




Fortune and humor govern the world.

Francois De La Rochefoucauld 1613-1680, French Classical Writer







If this is coffee, please bring me some tea; but if this is tea, please bring me some coffee.Abraham Lincoln 1809-1865, Sixteenth President of the USA





Chaos in the midst of chaos isn't funny, but chaos in the midst of order is.
Steve Martin 1945-, American Actor, Comedian, Screenwriter, Playwright, Writer




Comedy may be big business but it isn't pretty.

Steve Martin

I BELIEVE

that just because two people argue, it doesn't mean they don't love each other
and just because they don't argue, it doesn't mean they do.


I BELIEVE

"Awesome Thoughts"



Living on Earth is expensive
but it does include a free trip
around the sun every year





Birthdays are good for you
the more you have, the longer you live





How long a minute is
depends on what side of the bathroom door you're on





Ever notice that the people who are late are often
much jollier than the people who have to wait for them





If ignorance is bliss
why aren't more people happy





Most of us go to our grave with
our music still inside of us





If WalMart is lowering prices every day
how come nothing is free yet





You may be only one person in the world
but you may also be the world to one person.





Some mistakes are too much fun
to only make once





Don't cry because it's over
smile because it happened





We could learn a lot from crayons
some are sharp, some are pretty, some are dull
some have weird names, and all are different colors
but they all have to learn to live in the same box



A truly happy person is one who can
enjoy the scenery on a detour





Happiness comes through doors
you didn't even know you left open





Have an awesome day
and know that someone
has thought about you today
