When the past calls,          

let it go to voicemail.        

It has nothing new to say.

Why do we close our

eyes when we pray,

cry, kiss, dream?

Because the most

beautiful things in life

are not seen but

felt only by heart.

Shakespeare has many fine words and many fine speeches, but on this day I commit to thee, Henry V, St. Crispin's Day speech:

 

Here's the Entire Speech:

 

Quote

WESTMORLAND. O that we now had here
But one ten thousand of those men in England
That do no work to-day!

KING. What's he that wishes so?
My cousin, Westmorland? No, my fair cousin;
If we are mark'd to die, we are enow
To do our country loss; and if to live,
The fewer men, the greater share of honour.
God's will! I pray thee, wish not one man more.
By Jove, I am not covetous for gold,
Nor care I who doth feed upon my cost;
It yearns me not if men my garments wear;
Such outward things dwell not in my desires.
But if it be a sin to covet honour,
I am the most offending soul alive.
No, faith, my coz, wish not a man from England.
God's peace! I would not lose so great an honour
As one man more methinks would share from me
For the best hope I have. O, do not wish one more!
Rather proclaim it, Westmorland, through my host,
That he which hath no stomach to this fight,
Let him depart; his passport shall be made,
And crowns for convoy put into his purse;
We would not die in that man's company
That fears his fellowship to die with us.
This day is call'd the feast of Crispian.
He that outlives this day, and comes safe home,
Will stand a tip-toe when this day is nam'd,
And rouse him at the name of Crispian.
He that shall see this day, and live old age,
Will yearly on the vigil feast his neighbours,
And say "To-morrow is Saint Crispian."
Then will he strip his sleeve and show his scars,
And say "These wounds I had on Crispin's day."
Old men forget; yet all shall be forgot,
But he'll remember, with advantages,
What feats he did that day. Then shall our names,
Familiar in his mouth as household words—
Harry the King, Bedford and Exeter,
Warwick and Talbot, Salisbury and Gloucester—
Be in their flowing cups freshly rememb'red.
This story shall the good man teach his son;
And Crispin Crispian shall ne'er go by,
From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be rememberèd-
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition;
And gentlemen in England now a-bed
Shall think themselves accurs'd they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day.

 

Here's the Modern version (I like Olivier's version, but this had more weight to me personally as I knew of this one first):

Learn from the past, set       

vivid, detailed goals for the 

future, and live in the only  

moment of time over which

you have any control: now.

Brilliant quote 

[TalonRider]

"Luck is a matter of preparation meeting opporutunity." Oprah Winfrey

[Mikiesboy]

“Home wasn't a set house, or a single town on a map. It was wherever the people who loved you were, whenever you were together. Not a place, but a moment, and then another, building on each other like bricks to create a solid shelter that you take with you for your entire life, wherever you may go.”

  Never forget that you are one of a kind. 

                               Never forget that if there weren't any

                               need for you in all your uniqueness to be

                               on this earth, you wouldn't be here in the

                               first place. And never forget, no matter

                               how overwhelming life's challenges and

                               problems seem to be, that one person can

                               make a difference in the world.

                               In fact, it is always because of one person

                               that all the changes that matter in the

                               world come about.

                               So be that one person.
