Think about it...

Can miles truly separate you from friends...
If you want to be with someone you love, aren't you already there?

Life is full of misery, loneliness, and suffering - and it's all over much too soon.

Ballin'

Think about it...

True happiness is of a retired nature, and an enemy to pomp and noise; it arises, in the first place, from the enjoyment of one's self, and in the next from the friendship and conversation of a few select companions.
Joseph Addison

Think about it...

What every man needs, regardless of his job or the kind of work he is doing, is a vision of what his place is and may be. He needs an objective and a purpose. He needs a feeling and belief that he has some worthwhile thing to do. What this is no one can tell him. It must be his own creation. Its success will be measured by the nature of his vision, what he has done to equip himself, and how well he has performed along the line of its development.

Monkey Business

Think about it...

The actions of a great man provide inspiration to others. Whatever he does becomes a standard for them to follow.

Think about it...

Do not stop thinking of life as an adventure. You have no security unless you can live bravely, excitingly, imaginatively, unless you can choose a challenge instead of a competence.

Love is what's in the room with you at Christmas if you stop opening presents and listen.

Think about it...

Probably the reason we all go so haywire at Christmas time with the endless unrestrained and often silly buying of gifts is that we don't quite know how to put our love into words.

Think about it...

I truly believe that if we keep telling the Christmas story, singing the Christmas songs, and living the Christmas spirit, we can bring joy and happiness and peace to this world.
Norman Vincent Peale

Silly, String!

Think about it...

What is Christmas? It is tenderness for the past, courage for the present, hope for the future. It is a fervent wish that every cup may overflow with blessings rich and eternal, and that every path may lead to peace.
Agnes M Pharo

When we recall Christmas past, we usually find that the simplest things - not the great occasions - give off the greatest glow of happiness.

Isn't it funny that at Christmas something in you gets so lonely for - I don't know what exactly, but it's something that you don't mind so much not having at other times.

Heap on the wood! - the wind is chill;
But let it whistle as it will,
We'll keep our Chrismas merry still.

Boeing

Think about it...

And the Grinch, with his Grinch-feet ice cold in the snow, stood puzzling and puzzling, how could it be so? It came without ribbons. It came without tags. It came without packages, boxes or bags. And he puzzled and puzzled 'till his puzzler was sore. Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn't before. What if Christmas, he thought, doesn't come from a store. What if Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more.
Dr Seuss

Christmas Keggin'

Think about it...

Christmas is a time when kids tell Santa what they want and adults pay for it. Deficits are when adults tell the government what they want and their kids pay for it.
Richard Lamm

Man, er... Quin?

Think about it...

Christmas is not a time nor a season, but a state of mind. To cherish peace and goodwill, to be plenteous in mercy, is to have the real sprit of Christmas.
Calvin Coolidge

Bauble-ism

Think about it...

The Earth has grown old with its burden of care
But at Christmas it always is young.
The heart of the jewl burns lustrous and fair
And its soul full of music breaks the air,
When the song of angels is sung

Phillips Brooks

Tree

Think about it...

Instead of being a time of unusual behaviour Christmas is perhaps the only time in the year when people can obey their natural impulses and express their true sentiments without feeling self-conscious and, perhaps, foolish. Christmas, in short, is about the only chance a man has to be himself.
Francis C. Farley

Coloured Pencils

Think about it...

I have always thought of Christmas time, when it has come round, as a good time; a kind, forgiving, charitable time; the only time I know of, in the long calendar of the year, when men and women seem by one consent to open their shut-up hearts freely, and to think of people below them as if they really were fellow passengers to the grave, and not another race of creatures bound on other journeys.
Charles Dickens

Rings

Think about it...

To exercise power costs effort and demands courage. That is why so many fail to assert rights to which they are perfectly entitled - because a right is a kind of power but they are too lazy or too cowardly to exercise it. The virtues which cloak these faults are called patience and forbearance.
Oscar Wilde

More than just Scraps?

Think about it...

When you take charge of your life, there is no longer need to ask permission of other people or society at large. When you ask permission, you give someone veto power over your life.

Persistence is the twin sister of excellence. One is a matter of quality; the other, a matter of time.
Marabel Morgan

Stop!

Think about it...

Just because the solutions of problems are not visible at any particular time does not mean that those problems will nerver be alleviated - or confined to tolerable dimensions. History has a way of changing the very terms in which problems operate and of leaving them, in the end, unsolved, to be sure, yet strangely deflated of their original meaning and importance.
M.I. Abramowitz

CGI

Think about it...

Look to this day! For it is life, the very life of life. For yesterday is but a dream. And tomorrow is only a vision. But today well lived makes every yesterday a dream of happiness. And tomorrow a vision of hope. Look well, therefore, to this day! Such is the salutation of the dawn.
Kalidasa

Think about it...

Happiness cannot come from without. It must come from within. It is not what we see and touch or that which others do for us which makes us happy; it is that which we think and feel and do, first for the other fellow and then for ourselves.
Helen Keller

Grotto

Think about it...

If you think about disaster, you will get it. Brood about death and you hasten your demise. Think positively and masterfully, with confidence and faith, and life becomes more secure, more fraught with action, richer in achievement and experience.
Edward Rickenbacker

Strobish

Think about it...

To educate yourself for the feeling of gratitude means to take nothing for granted, but to always seek out and value the kind that will stand behind the action. Nothing that is done for you is a matter of course. Everything originates in a will for the good, which is directed at you. Train yourself never to put off the word or action for the expression of gratitude.
Albert Schweitzer

It has been left to our generation to discover that you can move heaven and earth to save five minutes and then not have the faintest idea what to do with them when you have saved them.

Accept the things you cannot change;
have courage to change the things you can;

Child's Play

Think about it...

The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science. He to whom the emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause and stand wrapped in awe, is as good as dead; his eyes are closed.
Albert Einstein

Five minutes of today are worth as much to me, as five minutes in the next millennium. Let us be poised, and wise, and our own, today.

Fire!

Think about it...

Our lives are not determined by what happens to us but by how we react to what happens, not by what life brings to us, but by the attitude we bring to life. A positive attitude causes a chain reaction of positive thoughts, events, and outcomes. It is a catalyst, a spark that creates extraordinary results.

Look at a day when you are supremely satisfied at the end. It's not a day when you lounge around doing nothing' its when you had everything to do, and you've done it.
Margaret Thatcher

Thursday 27 November 2008

Think about it...

Approach each new problem not with a view of finding what you hope will be there, but to get the truth, the realities that must be grappled with. You may not like what you find. In that case you are entitled to try to change it. But do not deceive yourself as to what you do find to be the facts of the situation.
Bernard M Baruch

Too often our joy in the present is lost between regretting something in the past and fearing something in the future.

This is not a Print...

Think about it...

This is not a process you undertake later, when you 'know more'. You do it now, because you are becoming the person you will be and you are (right now) the person you are becoming. It is a path, not a goal or destination.

Think about it...

Imagination is stronger than knowledge.
Myth is more potent than history.
Dreams are more powerful than facts.
Hope always triumphs over experience.
Laughter is the only cure for grief.
Love is stronger than death.

Think about it...

The difference between a successful person and others is not the lack of strength, not the lack of knowledge, but rather, the lack of will.
Vince Lombardi

Train

Think about it...

Everything contains some element of the unexplored because we are accustomed to use our eyes only with the memory of what other people before us have thought about the object we are looking at. The least thing has a bit of unknown in it. Let us find this. In order to describe a fire burning or a tree in a field, let us stand in front of that fire and that tree until they no longer look to us like any other fire or any other tree.
Guy DeMaupassant

Breakie

Think about it...

Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.
Calvin Collidge

If one advances confidently in the direction of their dreams and endeavors to lead a life which they have imagined , they will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.

Amygdalus

Think about it...

If you're here for four more years or four more weeks, you're here right now. I think when you're somewhere, you ought to be there. It's not about how long you stay in a place, it's about what you do while you're there, and when you go, is that place any better for your having been there?
Karen Hall and Jerry Stalh - Northern Exposure, Soapy Sanderson, 1990
