Geez, I just played cricket because I loved the game. I never thought about it much, never really had any formal coaching. ~Steve Waugh
#quotes #steve-waugh #sports #games #cricket
You think you are prepared. You think you have done everything you're supposed to, study hard, work hard, keep yourself out of trouble, and then, whoosh! Something arrives out of the blue that you never saw coming. Something you never even imagined. Something that will knock your little world off its axis. Something that will either change your life for the better, or end it forever. Chaos. ~James Michael
#quotes #james-michael
It is only by risking our persons from one hour to another that we live at all. And often enough our faith beforehand in an uncertified result is the only thing that makes the result come true. ~William James
#quotes #william-james #life #faith #optimism
There is a very simple secret to being happy. Just let go of your "demand" on this moment. Any time you have a demand on the moment to give you something or remove something, there is suffering. You are arguing with "what is." Your demands keep you chained to the "dream state" of the conditioned mind. The desire to "control" is, ultimately, our unwillingness to just be awake. ~Adyashanti

Arrow-swift the present sweepeth, and motionless forever stands the past. ~Friedrich Schiller

When you open the door which you shut in order to pray to God, the first person you meet as you go out is your neighbour whom you shall love. Wonderful! ~Soren Kierkegaard
#quotes #soren-kierkegaard #god #neighbours
For mercy has a human heart; pity, a human face; and love, the human form divine, and peace, the human dress. ~William Blake

If you're "stuck" right now, you're probably into fear. Get out of there. You've already looked both ways. Now cross the street, for heaven sake. The cars have long since gone. The coast is clear. Your only obstacle now is your own mind. ~Neale Donald Walsch
#quotes #neale-donald-walsch #mind
When I was a medical student in the 1950s, we practically never spoke about Alzheimer's disease. And why is that so? And that is because people didn't live long enough to have Alzheimer's disease. ~Eric Kandel

It is no easy task to lead men. But it is easy enough to drive them. ~Rabindranath Tagore

Who gives not thanks to men, gives not thanks to God. ~Arabic Proverb

One of my lungs is half gone, and the other half, because I smoked for years, has a lesion. So I can't swim anymore and had the swimming pool covered over. Now it's what I call the dance pavilion, and so I and my friends sit out and put music on and watch people dance. ~Maya Angelou
#quotes #maya-angelou #smoking #music
Not only had my brother disappeared, but, and bear with me here, a part of my very being had gone with him. Stories about us could, from them on, be told from only one perspective. Memories could be told but not shared. ~John Corey Whaley
#quotes #john-corey-whaley #family
The essence of Government is power; and power, lodged as it must be in human hands, will ever be liable to abuse. ~James Madison

Last night the Moon asked me, ""Why do not you leave your love if she makes you cry?" I looked back at the Moon and replied, "You are so lonely up there by can you leave your Sky?"
