When A Picture Speaks...

I have found the paradox that if I love until it hurts, then is no hurt but only more love
Mother Teresa of Calcutta
And you learn that love, true love, Always has joys and sorrows, Seems ever present, Yet is never quite the same, Becoming more than love and less than love, So difficult to define. And you learn that through it all, You really can endure, That you really are strong, That you do have VALUE
I did not realized that....
Abosolute Silence leads to sadness. It is the image of death


Dont hold to anger, hurt or pain. They steal your energy and keep you from LOVE
People inflict PAIN on others on the selfish pursuit of their own happinness or satisfaction

LIARS share with those they deceive the desire not to be deceived
“LIE” means to not say something truthfully. This word carries a lot of impetus with itself as it is the true measure of whether a certain feel is genuine or not. Lie is typically the opposite of truth i.e. trustworthiness of a particular being. A lie can be told to anyone actually but not to the people close to you and not about those things you are actually profound of. The habit of telling lies affects your public image a lot and moreover it tells to what extent you are believable.
Lying is like alcoholism. You are always recovering. Steven Soderbergh
Lying increases the creative faculties, expands the ego, and lessens the frictions of social contacts. Clare Booth Luce
The best liar is he who makes the smallest amount of lying go the longest way. Samuel Butler
The visionary lies to himself, the liar only to others
It is always the best policy to speak the truth--unless, of course, you are an exceptionally good liar. Jerome K. Jerome
A lie told often enough becomes the truth. Lenin
A lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes. Mark Twain
Every violation of truth is not only a sort of suicide in the liar, but is a stab at the health of human society. Ralph Waldo Emerson
If a lie is repeated often enough all the dumb jackasses in the world not only get to believe it, they even swear by it. Billy Boy Frankliners.
A mind conscious of innocence laughs at the lies of rumor. Latin Proverb

False words are not only evil in themselves, but they infect the soul with evil. Plato

A liar should have a good memory. Quintilian

I am responsible. Although I may not be able to prevent the worst from happening, I am responsible for my attitude toward the inevitable misfortunes that darken life. Bad things do happen; how I respond to them defines my character and the quality of my life. I can choose to sit in perpetual sadness, immobilized by the gravity of my loss, or I can choose to rise from the pain and treasure the most precious gift I have – life itself
Walter Anderson
