Thoughts and Quotes of a Curious Mind

"One cannot see well except with the heart, The essential is invisible to the eyes. It is the time you have spent with your rose that makes your rose so important" "That is the hardest thing of all. It is much harder to judge yourself than to judge others. If you succeed in judging yourself, it's because you're truly a wise man." "Language is the source of misunderstandings." "You risk tears if you let yourself be tamed. " "People where you live," the little prince said, "grow five thousand roses in one garden... yet they don't find what they're looking for..."

Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight, And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way, Do not go gentle into that good night.

I read an interesting quote "All sunshine and no rain make a Desert" At first glance really not very interesting but it applied rather deeply to life. There has to be some pain and hard times because these are part of love, marriage and commitment. All sunshine and no rain make a Desert.
