Finally making a post for June's quotes :D. I'm a bit late, aren't I? :)
Very late! So, in order to make it up to the people, I am uploading a lot at a time! Yay!! :)
First quote:
..Only a life lived for others is a life worth while.
Another quote about life. I really like this one. It reflects my views, who I am, and also my religion. Like Jesus, we need to serve and not be served; therefore, live for other and not for myself. That does not mean I should never have fun and make myself suffer, but it means to help others and serve others with a happy and glad heart, which I think is very important!

Second quote:
..Peace cannot be kept by force; it can only be achieved by understanding.-Albert Einstein
This is also a really good quote. Every leader should know of this quote... I really don't understand the point of wars. I understand... but I don't understand why it the problems have to solved through wars, I guess, is what I'm trying to say.
I really feel that trying to solve problems through war really hurts some innocent people, but YES, I do understand that some people are really not wanting to compromise or understand and are all about me, me, me. So, I guess, in a way, I DO understand wars... I just really wish that everyone lived by this quote.

It's not that I don't like getting compliments. It's that the only person I want to get a compliment from is the one who has never given me one. Otherwise, they mean nothing to me.-Caitlin Allen
I really thought this applied to me, so I decided to save it, and put it up. I am kind of a perfectionist and I like to impress people, especially with my work through my effort and hard work. But I usually don't try hard to get more compliments from someone that already gives me a lot of compliments, yet I seek them from people that never complimented me before or rarely do, because they are harder to impress. And me, for some reason, want to impress the people that are harder to impress. Haha. Weird... :P

Time is too slow for those who wait,
too swift for those who fear,
too long for those who grieve,
too short for those who rejoice,
but for those who love, time is eternity.
"FOR KATRINA'S SUN DIAL" by Henry van Dyke
I really thought I need to be reminded of this. I really like to wait, I fear, and I grieve. But I realized, why wait? Time only goes by slower. Why fear? Why grieve? This quote/excerpt, from a poem, really gave me strength and changed my ways when I needed it the most. So, I thought maybe it might do the same for someone else :).


So these are the quotes for the month of May of 2010! Yay to quotes!! Yay to inspiration and hope!! Yay! :)

PS: Don't you just love the title?! I remember this song from a commercial way back~. I was reminded of it, and of course, I had to use it! :P
