I remember we used to have a thread about quotes. I couldn't find it, so I'm starting a new one.

Here's a quote:

Quote:

"You have to live in your new reality before you can create it"

I love this quote

Quote:

What is the meaning of this? Is it like "Farmers didn't invent tractors, therefore, Farmers also depend on others to help them farm and thus human society is inter-connected?"

The quote comes from:

Wait! I have another one! I don't know who said this, (or the post above either....) But this is my favorite quote and I learned its truth the hard way....

Take this to heart all, I could save you a lot of heartache.

Honesty is a function of character, and character is not something that is easily changed..

I know I'm in my own little world, but it's ok. They know me here.

A truly open mind will seriously consider all points of view, even those with which it strongly disagrees for there may be a grain of truth in even the most ridiculous of opinions.

I read, I interpret, I think, I criticize, I oppose, I listen, I write, I question, I reply, I quote, I tell, I name, I discuss, I interpolate.., I learn, I teach, I live, therefore I am.

AND THE FUNNIEST ONE...
You have one advantage over me I must admit, you can kiss my A$$ and i cant... LOL..
