I know we have quite a few 'unnecesary' threads these days but I did wanna add these. With lots of fun i read the dedicated songs and the messages to unknown receipients.

If you find a quote (maybe a wise man said it, or it was a funny one in your favourite series) and you think it could be dedicated to someone, here you can post it. Because i can only receive TRT int, i will probably only quote wise man and SATC-quotes But i hope many Turkish quotes (and their translations) will be added too.

Ohh and if you just find a nice quote but not someone in particular to dedicate it to, just let it be a wise lesson for everyone

Poetry is an echo, asking a shadow to dance.

Carl Sandburg(u r never alone have another shadow here to dance )

to aenigma,bliss,slavica,sophie( alphabetical order )

When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives means the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand.

Henri Nouwen

When a friend is in trouble, don't annoy him by asking if there is anything you can do. Think up something appropriate and do it.

Edward W. Howe

To my dear Ramo

- Innocence is like polished armor; it adorns and defends.

Bishop Robert South

- I might have some character traits that some might see as innocence or naive. That's because I discovered peace and happiness in my soul. And with this knowledge, I also see the beauty of human life.

All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them.
Walt Disney

to the daydreamers
All men dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds, wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act on their dreams with open eyes, to make them possible.
Thomas E. Lawrence

To all the members of the...Crazy Gang. Especially you twinny, will understand

Do not judge men by mere appearances; for the light laughter that bubbles on the lip often mantles over the depths of sadness, and the serious look may be the sober veil that covers a divine peace and joy.

Good friends, good books and a sleepy conscience: this is the ideal life.



Marlene Dietrich:
It's the friends you can call up at 4 a.m. that matter.

You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift. You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. You cannot help the wage earner by pulling down the wage payer. You cannot further the brotherhood of man by encouraging class hatred. You cannot keep out of trouble by spending more than you earn. You cannot build character and courage by taking away man's initiative and independence. You cannot help men permanently by doing what they could and should do for themselves."

To: TT!!

“A true friend is someone who thinks that you are a good egg even though he knows that you are slightly cracked” !

Bernard Meltzer

*You're alive. Do something. The directive in life, the moral imperative was so uncomplicated. It could be expressed in single words, not complete sentences. It sounded like this: Look. Listen.(think,decide) Choose. Act.

Barbara Hall, A Summons to New Orleans

*Love is everything it's cracked up to be…It really is worth fighting for, being brave for, risking everything for.
Erica Jong, O Magazine

*All I can say about life is, Oh God, enjoy it!

" You cannot tailor make the situation in life,
but you can tailor make the attitudes to fit
those situations before they arise."

" When you choose to be pleasant and positive in the
way you treat others, you have also chosen, in most
cases, how you are going to be treated by others."

Zig Ziglar

Oh Bliss, that was really a wonderful quote. ...thank you for sharing!

...to all feminists at TC!
...and welcome back, catwoman! ...I have missed you!

"Feminism has fought no wars. It has killed no opponents. It has set up no concentration camps, starved no enemies, practiced no cruelties. Its battles have been for education, for the vote, for better working conditions.. for safety on the streets... for child care, for social welfare...for rape crisis centers, women's refuges, reforms in the law.' (If someone says) 'Oh, I'm not a feminist,' (I ask) 'Why? What's your problem?'"
- Dale Spender, author of For the Record: The Making & Meaning of Feminist Knowledge, 1985

...I thought this quote was most appropriate too:
"To me, a feminist belongs in the same category as a humanist or an advocate for human rights. I don't see why someone who's a feminist should be thought of differently."
- Suzanne Vega

To myself...

Always do sober what you said you'd do drunk. That will teach you to keep your mouth shut.

Ernest Hemingway

Those who are afraid to fall will never fly

You are welcome, Aslan.

Here are more for you, I hope you'll like them.

Most of us would be upset if we were accused of being "silly".
But the word "silly" comes from the old English word "selig", and its literal definition is "to be blessed, happy, healthy and prosperious."

The chief cause of failure and unhappiness is trading what you want most for what you want now.

Be helpful. When you see a person without a smile, give him yours.

Zig Ziglar

Dear Bliss, I do like them...and to tell you the truth I had never heard about Zig Ziglar before, but since I am a curious bitch I searched the net and was amazed to read about the man behind those wise quotes. Once again, thanks for sharing!

...by the way...Zig Ziglars latest book is called "Conversations with my dog"...I wonder if Bod read it yet?

These are for Ayhan, Teas, Catwoman and others who recently had a great discussion on the forum
I think these are relevant and you may all like them -

1. "One of the lessons of history is that nothing is often a good thing to do and always a clever thing to say."

2. "All generalizations are dangerous, even this one."

3. "Anarchism is founded on the observation that since few men are wise enough to rule themselves, even fewer are wise enough to rule others."

4. "If you judge people, you have no time to love them."

I am glad that you liked them and discovered new autor.
By the way his favourite quote is " You can have everything in life you want, if you will just help enough other people get what they want." That's mine too.

Just little bit about Zig Ziglar:

For over three decades Zig Ziglar has been recognized by his peers as America's most consistent messenger of hope and optimism.
Having shared the stage with Presidents Ford, Reagan and Bush, Generals Norman Schwarzkopf and Colin Powell, Dr Norman Vincent Peale, Paul Harvey and DR. Robert Schuller, he is one of the most sought after personal development trainers in the world.
The client list of Ziglar Training Systems reads like who's who in American and global business.Nine of his twenty-three books have been on the bestseller lists and his titles have been translated into more than thirty-eight languages and dialects.
Zig Ziglar has inspired people from every walk of life to achive more than they ever thought possible.
