"Qoutes and Qoutes"

Here are some of the qoutes that i really really like;

"We should be careful and discriminating in all the advice we give. We should be especially careful in giving advice that we would not think of following ourselves. Most of all, we ought to avoid giving counsel which we don't follow when it damages those who take us at our word."

"Good advice is always certain to be ignored, but that's no reason not to give it."

"Advice is what we ask for when we already know the answer but wish we didn't."

"When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives means the most us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving much advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a gentle and tender hand. The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing and face with us the reality of our powerlessness, that is a friend who cares."


"Write it on your heart that every day is the best day in the year. No man has learned anything rightly, until he knows that every day is Doomsday."

"Whatever you do, you need courage. Whatever course you decide upon, there is always someone to tell you that you are wrong. There are always difficulties arising that tempt you to believe your critics are right. To map out a course of action and follow it to an end requires some of the same courage that a soldier needs. Peace has its victories, but it takes brave men and women to win them."

"No person is your friend who demands your silence, or denies your right to grow."


"People grow through experience if they meet life honestly and courageously. This is how character is built."

"To exist is to change, to change is to mature, to mature is to go on creating oneself endlessly."

"Just because everything is different doesn't mean that everything has changed."

"The important thing is this: To be able at any moment to sacrifice what we are for what we could become."

"The most beautiful discovery true friends make is that they can grow separately without growing apart."

"It is one of the severest tests of friendship to tell your friend his faults. So to love a man that you cannot bear to see a stain upon him, and to speak painful truth through loving words, that is friendship."


"The most basic and powerful way to connect to another person is to listen. Just listen. Perhaps the most important thing we ever give each other is our attention…. A loving silence often has far more power to heal and to connect than the most well-intentioned words."

"Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure or nothing."

"Those who try to do something and fail are infinitely better than those who try nothing and succeed."

"It is easy to follow, but it is uninteresting to do easy things. We find out about ourselves only when we take risks, when we challenge and question."

"I am always doing that which I can not do, in order that I may learn how to do it."
