CANADIAN THANKSGIVING DAY.
IT IS BETTER TO BE SILENT THAN TO DISPUTE WITH THE IGNORANT. PYTHAGORAS
George Harrisons last words: “EVERYTHING ELSE CAN WAIT, but the search for God cannot wait, and love one another.“
JOHN LENNON 1940—-“IMAGINE” “Here Comes The Sun” “Hey Jude”
COUNT your age by friends, not years. Count your life by smiles, not tears.
TIME YOU ENJOY WASTING, WAS NOT WASTED.
EVERYTHING will be okay in the end. If it’s not okay, it’s not the end.
BEING HONEST may not get you a lot of friends but it’ll always get you the right ones.
A mistake is only an error, it becomes a mistake when you fail to correct it.
LIFE IS WHAT HAPPENS WHILE YOU ARE MAKING OTHER PLANS.
WHEN you do something noble and beautiful and nobody noticed, do not be sad. For the sun every morning is a beautiful spectacle and yet most of the audience still sleeps.
THERE ARE TWO BASIC MOTIVATING FORCES: FEAR AND LOVE. When we are afraid, we pull back from life. When we are in love, we open to all that life has to offer with passion, excitement and acceptance. We need to learn to love ourselves first, in all our glory and our imperfections. If we cannot love ourselves, we cannot fully open to our ability to love others or our potential to create. Evolution and all hopes for a better world rest on the fearlessness and open-hearted vision of people who embrace life.
YOU WON’T GET ANYTHING UNLESS YOU HAVE THE VISION TO IMAGINE IT.
DON’T UNDERESTIMATE THE IMPORTANCE OF HAPPINESS, AS LONG AS YOU’RE HAPPY, WHO CARES WHAT YOU DO?
WHENEVER in doubt, turn off your mind, relax and float downstream.
WE LIVE IN A WORLD where we have to hide to make love while violence is practiced in broad daylight.
IT MATTERS NOT who you love, where you love, why you love, when you love or how you love, it matters only that you love.
IMAGINE all the people living life in peace. you may say I’m a dreamer, but I’m not the only one. I hope someday you’ll join us nd the world will be as one.
REALITY LEAVES A LOT TO THE IMAGINATION.
THE SUN IS UP, THE SKY IS BLUE IT’S BEAUTIFUL & SO ARE YOU.
NOBODY controls me. I’m uncontrollable. The only one who can control me is me, and even that’s barely possible.
DON’T HATE WHAT YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND.
THE ESTABLISHMENT will irritate you — pull your beard, flick your face — to make you fight. Because once they’ve got you violent, then they know how to handle you. The only thing they don’t know how to handle is non-violence and humor.
LOVE IS THE FLOWER YOU’VE GOT TO LET GROW.
OUR SOCIETY IS RUN BY INSANE PEOPLE FOR INSANE OBJECTIVES. I THINK we’re being run by maniacs for maniacal ends and I think I’m liable to be put away as insane for expressing that. That’s what insane about it.
TAME BIRDS SING OF FREEDOM. WILD BIRDS FLY.
EVERYONE DESERVES TO BELIEVE THEY ARE BEAUTIFUL.
YOU ARE NOT YOUR EMOTIONS, YOU HAVE EMOTIONS, & YOU CAN MASTER THEM.
THE PEOPLE HAVE THE POWER. All we have to do is awaken the power in the people.
I BELIEVE TIME WOUNDS ALL HEELS.
ONE DAY AT A TIME IS ALL WE DO. ONE DAY AT A TIME IS GOOD FOR YOU.
PARANOIA IS JUST A HEIGHTENED SENSE OF AWARENESS.
THE MORE REAL YOU GET, THE MORE UNREAL EVERYTHING ELSE IS.
Without a job all there its to life is boredom & insecurity.
IF EVERYBODY DEMANDED PEACE INSTEAD OF ANOTHER TELEVISION SET. THEN THERE’D BE PEACE.
I CANNOT BE WHAT I AM NOT.
VIOLENCE begets violence, you know. And you can’t kill off all the violent people or all the murderers. We’s have to kill off the government.
I’M NOT AFRAID OF DEATH because I don’t believe in it. It’s just getting out of one car and into another.
MY ROLE IN SOCIETY, or any artists’s or poet’s role, is to try and express what we all feel. Not to tell people how to feel. not as a preacher, not as a leader, but as a reflection of us all.
THE GREATEST ARTISTS ALWAYS COME ROUND TO SIMPLICITY.
HAPPINESS IS JUST HOW YOU FEEL WHEN YOU DON’T FEEL MISERABLE.
SONG WRITING is like . . . being posted. you try to go to sleep but the song won’t let you.
I BELIEVE IN GOD, but not as one thing, nt as an old man in the sky. I believe that what people call God is something in all of us. I believe that’s what Jesus & Mohammed & Buddha and all the rest said ws right. It’s just that the translations have gone wrong.
IVO ANDRIC “The Bridge on the Drina””The woman From Sarajevo”
1892-1975 Nobel Prize in literature.
IF PEOPLE WOULD KNOW how little brain is ruling the world, they would die of fear.
BEAUTIFUL SOUL WEEPS DEEP.
ONE shouldn’t be afraid of the humans. Well, I am not afraid of the humans, but of what is inhuman in them.
WHAT DOESN’T HURT — IS NOT LIFE; what doesn’t pass — is not happiness.
BETWEEN the fear that something would happen and the hope that still it wouldn’t, there is much more space than one thinks. On that narrow, hard, bare and dark space a lot of us spend our lives.
WHAT can and doesn’t have to be always, at the end, surrenders to something that has to be.
MAN SEES that on this god’s green earth there is but one true suffering: the torment of guilty conscience.
FORGETFULNESS heals everything & song is the most beautiful manner of forgetting, for in song man feels only what he loves.
WHAT DOES YOUR SORROW DO WHILE YOU SLEEP” IT’S AWAKE AND WAITING. AND WHEN IT LOSES PATIENCE, IT WAKES ME UP.
