arab proverb

Every head has its own headache

Arab proverb

All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players: they have their exits and their entrances; and one man in his time plays many parts, his acts being seven ages.

William Shakespeare

For a good appetite there is no hard bread.
Spanish Proverb

"Paradise can be found on the back of horses, in books and between the breasts of women." -

Florence Nightingale (1820-1910) English nurse

Keep your fears to yourself, but share your courage with others.
Robert Louis Stevenson

Robert Frost

Some say the world will end in fire;
Some say in ice.
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To know that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.

You can get what you want by being who you are.

Perhaps love is like a resting place
A shelter from the storm
It exists to give you comfort
It is there to keep you warm
And in these time of trouble
When you are most alone
The memory of love will bring you home

Perhaps love is like a window
Perhaps an open door
It invites you to come closer
It wants you to show you more
and even when you lose yourself
And dont know what to do
The memory of love will see you throught

Oh, love to some is like cloud
To some as strong as steel
For some a way of living
For some a way of feel
Ans some say love holding on
And some say letting go
And some love is evrything
And some say that they dont know

Perhaps love is like the ocean
Full of conflict full of pain
Like a fire when its cold outside
Or thunder when it rains
If I should live forever
And all my dreams come true
My memories of love will be of you

And some say love is holding on
And some say letting go
And some say love is everything
And some say that they dont know

Perhaps love is like the ocean
Full of conflict full of pain
Like a fire when its cold outside
Or thunder when it rains
If I should live forever
And all my dreams come true
My memories of love will be of you

He who stops being better stops being good.

Oliver Cromwell

It is not what you are called, but what you answer to.
African Proverb

No matter how far you have gone on the wrong road, turn back.

Turkish proverb

Age cannot wither her, nor custom stale her infinite variety; other women cloy the appetites they feed, but she makes hungry where most she satisfies.

William Shakespeare

A woman's strength is the irresistible might of weakness.

- Ralph Waldo Emerson

Discretion is the better part of valor.

Why is a birthday cake the only food you can blow on and spit on and everybody rushes to get a piece?

Bad news travels fast.

Fish start smelling from the head

The devil dwells in details

I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days attack me at once.
