January Quotes - 1/21/10

"Greatness is not forced, happiness not bought, success not coaxed, and love not found; life's treasures are afforded to us through the work we do to receive them, not obtain them."

"Indecision is the compass of the aimless man, with whim, opinion, haste, and coercion as his cardinal directions."

"To love is to know the sweetest joy and the deepest pain; to be in love is to experience both and still have the desire to hold that someone down in between the two."

"Destiny is not a guarantee for success, it is only the guarantee of a destination; the only way to reach that destination is to follow the path you FEEL...the path is unseen, so that we may submit to a higher guidance. Every choice is another step...so put your best foot forward. Also, retrospect only SHOWS where you COULD'VE gone...it doesn't actually take you there."

"See, we both have wet dreams but they are not the same; mine take blood, sweat, and tears while yours leave your boxers with a stain."

"Love is going into a warzone without preparation to battle; you take down your armor (give someone the power to hurt you), take off your helmet (allow someone to see the real you), and dispose of your weapons (commit to honesty), all while hoping the other person does the same."

"Rest not upon thy laurels; for as thou taketh that break, someone else is breaking their neck to reach and overtake thee."

"Beauty relies on the eyes...individuality stimulates the mind...honesty endears the subconscious...character strikes hearts...self-respect resonates in the soul."

"Talent illuminates a sea of possibilities; skill illuminates a land of opportunities; greatness illuminates a world of change. I've traversed those lands, and traveled those seas...and so it's time for me to shine a light that gets the world off its knees."


-A. Lewis
