Fancy Words from My Sticky Note

    For as long as I can remember, I have been gathering quotations, proverbs, and sayings which impose relevance to my simple existence.  For inspiration, love or just plainly for the love of literature, here are some from my sticky note:

"In the confrontation between the stream and the rock, the stream always wins- Not by strength but by perseverance. "
- H. Jackson Brown
"Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another: What! You too? I thought I was the only one."
-- C. S. Lewis

"All that is gold does not glitter, not all those who wander are lost;
the old that is strong does not wither, deep roots are not reached by the frost.  From the ashes a fire shall be woken, a light from the shadows shall spring; renewed shall be blade that was broken, the crownless again shall be king."- J.R.R. Tolkien

"Love is anterior to life,
Posterior to death,
Initial creation, and
The exponent of breath."
--Emily Dickinson

Do not hire a man who does your work for money, but him who does it for love of it.
-- Henry David Thoreau

"If you want to be happy, set a goal that commands your thoughts, liberates your energy, and inspires your hopes. "
- Andrew Carnegie

"Why can't we get all the people together in the world that we really like and then just stay together? I guess that wouldn't work. Someone would leave. Someone always leaves and then we have to say good-bye. I hate good-byes. I know what I need. I need more hellos."
- Snoopy

"What is life but a series of inspired follies? The difficulty is to find them to do. Never lose a chance: it doesn't come every day."
- George Bernard Shaw

"Obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it. "
 - Michael Jordan
