Welcome to Quote Friday (Post 9/21/12)

Decisions
 
A peacefulness follows any decision, even the wrong one. ~Rita Mae Brown
 
Consider what you think justice requires, and decide accordingly. But never give your reasons; for your judgment will probably be right, but your reasons will certainly be wrong. ~Lord Mansfield
 
Some persons are very decisive when it comes to avoiding decisions. ~Brendan Francis
 
Do not plant your dreams in the field of indecision, where nothing ever grows but the weeds of "what-if." ~Dodinsky, www.dodinsky.com
 
Relationships

Friendship
 
If a friend is in trouble, don't annoy him by asking if there is anything you can do. Think up something appropriate and do it. ~Edgar Watson Howe
The most beautiful discovery true friends make is that they can grow separately without growing apart. ~Elisabeth Foley
Friends are those rare people who ask how you are and then wait for the answer. ~Author Unknown
I like friends who, when you tell them you need a moment alone, know enough not to stray too far. ~Robert Brault, www.robertbrault.com

If you're alone, I'll be your shadow. If you want to cry, I'll be your shoulder. If you want a hug, I'll be your pillow. If you need to be happy, I'll be your smile. But anytime you need a friend, I'll just be me. ~Author Unknown
 
Carpe Diem
 
Spend the afternoon. You can't take it with you. ~Annie Dillard
 
I'm less interested in why we're here. I'm wholly devoted to while we're here. ~Erika Harris, empathicwriter.com
 
I have spent my days stringing and unstringing my instrument, while the song I came to sing remains unsung. ~Tagore
 
Being Yourself
 
All my life I had been looking for something, and everywhere I turned someone tried to tell me what it was. I accepted their answers too, though they were often in contradiction and even self-contradictory. I was naïve. I was looking for myself and asking everyone except myself questions which I, and only I, could answer. It took me a long time and much painful boomeranging of my expectations to achieve a realization everyone else appears to have been born with: that I am nobody but myself. ~Ralph Ellison, "Battle Royal"
 
Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of somebody else. ~Judy Garland
 
If you cannot be a poet, be the poem. ~David Carradine
 
Optimism
 
Optimist: someone who figures that taking a step backward after taking a step forward is not a disaster, it's a cha-cha. ~Robert Brault, www.robertbrault.com
 
Of course I look at the glass half full. The only time I would look at it half empty is when I think about how good the first half tasted. ~Drew Deyoung
Happiness
 
If you want to be happy, be. ~Leo Tolstoy
 
What a wonderful life I've had! I only wish I'd realized it sooner. ~Colette
 
What I'm looking for is a blessing that's not in disguise. ~Kitty O'Neill Collins
Happiness is the feeling you're feeling when you want to keep feeling it. ~Author Unknown
 
 
Always have a quote in your heart, it makes you think, some really deeply.  And care more, show emotions more, and hug those that are close to you that you don't always verbalize to them as much as you should!  Thanks for dropping by!  Your visits make my day!
