Words of Wisdon

The other day, I was looking through some old poems and other writings from my past, and I came across a list of quotes that either I or my sister came up with as teenagers. For example, the one that started it all, "The shadows of the future are washed up on the shores of today." We used to duel each other with these profound statements, especially during long road trips; like the last time the whole family drove to Florida to visit my "Nana". Reading these quotes today, I think "wow", we were a couple of pretty creative cookies, my sis and I. Maybe you'll agree...

"Heroes are those who we want to be, but never had the courage to become."

"The distance that separates two people is often the space that brings them closer together."

"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but love is in the heart. And it’s the heart that keeps us alive."

"He who has sight is often blinder than he who does not."

"Tis’ a strange world in which we live ­–why do we believe so much our history yet doubt so much our future?"

"The poor know who they are, while the rich know who they should be."

"The higher a person rises in status, the lower his perception of reality becomes."

"Live within life’s limits, but never limit your life."

"Every man’s going somewhere. All he needs is something to get him there."

"My position in life does not guarantee me happiness…but, happiness does guarantee me a position in life."

Left Turns and Lane Changes

Since when did turning left and changing lanes in front of another car become a right instead of a privilege? I can't believe the number of incidents I've seen in which drivers take these actions without any consideration for the other car(s) involved. It's amazing we don't have more head-on collisions as a result of this debauchery!
