“Time Tested Beauty Tips:

For attractive lips, speak words of kindness.

For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.

For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.

For beautiful hair, let a child run his or her fingers through it once a day.

For poise, walk with the knowledge you’ll never walk alone.

People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; Never throw out anybody.

Remember, If you ever need a helping hand, you’ll find one at the end of your arm.

As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself, the other for helping others.

The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides.

The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mole, but true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It is the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows, and the beauty of a woman with passing years only grows!”

“We’re all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.”- Oscar Wilde.

No man will ever attain anything unless he attempts attainment. - Charles Fillmore

“Fly too high and you’re destined to fall.”

“When once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return.”

As a man thinketh so is he,
and as a man chooseth so is he and so is his nature.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness that frightens us.
As we let our own light shine, we unconsciously
give other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear,
our presence automatically liberates others.

Nelson Mandela, President of South Africa
Inaugural speech

I love to compose quotes upon my own experiences, these are few of my original quotes. Thanks to Urgdu for giving me opportunity to share on Help.Com

I don’t choose to be butterfly and chase flowers,
I rather choose to be honey, till the best bee come to me.

It’s a human culture to avoid what’s so sticky or usual thing or constant phenomenal.
It’s also a human culture to miss or remember greatly or tend to find it back when that usual thing suddenly disappears.
That’s why they talk good about, and miss the dead.
- Milroy Goes, Goa India

Sometimes most precious stuff left behind. But unleashing, is the treasure worth keeping. Like how I find my ancestorial stuff which is spectacular in time.
- Milroy Goes, Goa India

You tell me the names of your friends, and I’ll tell you – What you are.
- Milroy Goes, Goa India

Your costumes, your cloths, what you’re wearing tells me where you come from and not where you’re going.
- Milroy Goes, Goa India

Don’t choose the fool in me. I don’t like to chase girls, my beloved!
Neither have I insisted you for wise-men in me,
I don’t make wise promises.
I’m just an artist and my Heart is a masterpiece, could it be you to take it away?
- Milroy Goes, Goa India

Trust is not like pocket money to save it until is overwhelm
And then diversify,
Trust is your word and my world,
I believe in your words and give you my world.
- Milroy Goes, Goa India

If I’m not around it doesn’t mean I’m extinct.
If I don’t make contacts doesn’t mean I’m disconnected.
- Milroy Goes, Goa India

Time has made us friends; Time has given us a chance to live up the time to the rest of our life as friends. I dedicate you the time, to call it more than friends.
- Milroy Goes, Goa India

Since you’ve gone, the days have stuck on reverse. Tears have rolled out and wiped away the smile. I’m left with only words to console the time. My heart may break into million pieces but only strength will be you. Hoping one day you’ll kiss away the pain.
- Milroy Goes, Goa India

I don’t make promises for sake, I keep the promises that I make.
- Milroy Goes, Goa India

If anytime trouble comes in a form of me.
There will be only way to choose between me or trouble,
But remember, you can always choose both to be at ease.
Just incase! One thing can always be sure,
I’ll never be your trouble,
I rather go away than to trouble you.
- Milroy Goes, Goa India

I never felt I’ve lost you,
Miles to walk
Across come you,
I had only my words to express my heart,
Thank you, never a chance yet never have you broken my heart.
- Milroy Goes, Goa India

The Girls effect on boys while at church:
Our Father in heaven,
My angel is on earth right next to me.
Give me today her mobile number,
And do not bring me to the test but
Deliver at first sight. Amen.
- Milroy Goes, Goa India

Love only hurts, for those who rely intermittent.
Love brings joy, for those who share every moment.
Love only cheats, for those who fall for gambling.
Love is blind, for those seek nothing.
Love is all around, for those who feel it, believe it, and see it.
- Milroy Goes, Goa India

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.” - Marianne Williamson, from A Return To Love: Reflections on the Principles of A Course in Miracles

-”Under all speech that is good for anything there lies a silence that is better. Silence is deep as Eternity; speech is shallow as Time.” -Thomas Carlyle, 1881

-”No matter how cold the winter, theres a spring time ahead” -Pearl Jam “Thumbing My Way”.

-”We must walk consciously only part way toward our goal, and then leap in the dark to our success.” -Henry Thoreau

-”I find the great thing in this world is not so much where we stand, as in what direction we are moving: To reach the port of Heaven, we must sail, sometimes with the wind and sometimes against it,but we must sail, and not drift, nor lie at anchor.” -Oliver Wendell Holmes.

The next are fairly long, but amazing motivational speech quotes.

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs; and comes up short again and again, because there is not effort without error and shortcoming, but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows the great enthusiams, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.” -Theodore Roosevelt.

“We are face to face with our destiny and we must meet it with a high and resolute courage. For us is the life of action, of strenuous performance of duty; let us live in the harness, striving mightily; let us rather run the risk of wearing our than rusting out.” -Theodore Roosevelt.

“At thirty, man suspect himself a fool; knows it at forty, and reforms his plan, at fifty, chides his infamous delay; pushes his prudent purpose to reslove; In all the magnanimity of thought resolves, and re-resolves, then dies the same and why? Because he thinks himself immortal. All men think all men mortal but themselves.” -Edward Young.

“Education is an admirable thing, but it is well to remember from time to time that nothing that is worth knowing can be taught.” -Oscar Wilde.

Quotes from rock songs off the top of my head:

“Are you taking over or taking orders, are you going backwards or are you going forwards?” (The Clash)
“Its better to burn out than to fade away.” (Neil Young)
“The Love you make is equal to the love you take.” (Paul McCartney)
“We’re just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl year after year.” (Pink Floyd)
“Like a bird on a wire, like a drunk in a midnight choir, I’ve tried in my own way to be free.” (Leonard Cohen)
“I’d rather have a bottle in front of me, then a frontal lobotomy.” (Tom Waits)

Quotes I heard growing up from my dad and his pals (who knows where they got them from):

“There are no luggage racks on hearses, no pockets in shrouds.”
“If wishes were horses, beggars would ride.”
“The golden rule? He who has the gold makes the rules.”
“Suck it up, buttercup.”

Latin Quotes that I can think of:

“Veni Vidi Vici.” I came, I saw, I conquored. (Julius Caesar)
“Audio Video Disco” I listen, I observe, I learn.
“Per aspera ad astra.” Through difficulties to the stars.

And some great tombstone inscriptions:
“May the earth be light upon you.”
“I was where you where. I am where you’ll be.”
“I had a lover’s quarrel with the world” (Robert Frost)
“I told you I was sick”
“Here lies an atheist, all dressed up and no place to go.”
“Here lies an agnostic, but we can’t really be sure one way or the other.”

A course in Miracles is on my list of classes I want to take at church. I have not read the book yet. But I do fear my own greatness. I am over coming this and let it show more.

Words from a song. Off the top of my head so if not word for word, sorry.

“Look down me and you will see what you consider your enemy, look up at me and you see maker, look straight at me and you will see what you are afraid to see, look straight at me and you will see yourself” - Uglystick

Fear of our own greatness seems to be what holds most people back…. funny thing.. I got this from the movie “Akeelah and the bee.” When I saw it on the movie I really connected with it. :) Good movie too.

Thank you replying to my post, it helped to have someone listen to me, I appreciated that very much , so thank you once again.

I like this quote too. I would credit it originally to Archimedes though. He had another great one: “Rise above oneself and grasp the world”.

He who has health has hope. And he who has hope has everything. - Arabian Proverb

To love, and to be hurt often, and to love again - This is the brave and happy life. - I forget who said it….. sorry.

It doesn’t matter how often you get knocked down, but how often you get back up. - forgot who this was too…

I’ve got LOTS of them, but how about this one:

“Whatever I do is done out of sheer joy; I drop my fruits like a ripe tree. What the general reader or the critic makes of them is not my concern.”

Henry Miller

“What is good for the goose is good for the gander.” That was my grandmothers favorite.

Some quotes that have affected me:

“Tell me and I will listen,
show me and I will see,
but teach me, and I will understand.”
-Who knows who said that first, but I read it in Cosmo :P

“Human see, human do.”
-This commercial on TV that was calling to stop the abuse of monkeys/chimpanzees (as in you see the abuse, and do something about it)

“Nothing ever bothers her, she just wants to love herself.”
-Nirvana “You Know You’re Right”

“I met my maker and I made him cry,
and on my shoulder he asked me why
his people can’t ride through the storm
I said, ‘listen up man, they don’t even know you’re born’”
-Oasis “D’you Know What I Mean”

“God is a DJ,
life is a dancefloor,
love is a rythum,
you are the music”

“People change so that you can learn to let go,
things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they go right,
you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself,
and sometimes good things fall apart, so that better things can fall together.”

“All of us celebrities, the actors and musicians and artists, we belong to the public. Not because we are especially talented or even beautiful, but for the simple reason that we have never belonged to anything else.
-both Marilyn Monroe

I forgot this one, one of my faves. It actually makes me cry:

“In many ways, the work of a critic is easy. We risk very little yet enjoy a position over those who offer up their work and their selves to our judgment. We thrive on negative criticism, which is fun to write and to read.
But the bitter truth we critics must face is that, in the grand scheme of things, the average piece of junk is probably more meaningful than our criticism designating it so. But there are times when a critic truly risks something, and that is in the discovery and defense of the new. The world is often unkind to new talents, new creations. The new needs friends. Last night, I experienced something new, an extraordinary meal from a singularly unexpected source. To say that both the meal and its maker have challenged my preconceptions about fine cooking is a gross understatement. They have rocked me to my core. In the past, I have made no secret of my disdain for Chef Gusteau’s famous motto, “Anyone can cook”. But I realize only now do I truly understand what he meant.
Not anyone can become a great artist, but a great artist can come from anywhere.
It is difficult to imagine more humble origins than those of the genius now cooking at Gusteau’s, who is, in this critic’s opinion, nothing less than the finest chef in France. I will be returning to Gusteau’s soon, hungry for more.”

-from ‘Ratatouille’. Yeah, the stupid kids’ cartoon movie :) I can’t imagine a better, more honest quote that teaches people not to discriminate, and makes such bang-on comments about our soceity.

Build a man a fire, keep him warm for a day.

Catch a man on fire, keep him warm for the rest of his life.

I tried.

“Its not the names they call you, its the names you answer to.” WC Fields

To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

“You cannot change the circumstances dealt to you from day to day. You can only change your attitude toward your circumstances. This is human freewill. Oddly enough, when your attitude changes, along with a conscious will toward positive change, so do your circumstances.”

Life is what you make of it.

If you love something, let it go, if it comes back to you irs yours forever, if it doesnt, it was never yours to begin with.

Instead of waiting for a perfect moment, make the moment perfect.
