YesMistressIrish -> QUOTE of the Day (11/30/2007 6:05:20 AM)
I love to start every morning by reading things that inspire me. Please share a quote here that you find motivating, thought provoking, funny, BDSM etc. I'd like to keep this thread positive, and flame-free, so let's keep it from becoming a religion quote fest, okie dokie? Here are two quotes to get this jump-started: Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgement that something else is more important than fear. ~Ambrose Redmoon Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen. ~Winston Churchill My best to you and yours, Irish

All great human deeds both consume and transform their doers. Consider an athlete, or a scientist, or an artist, or an independent business creator. In the service of their goals they lay down time and energy and many other choices and pleasures; in return, they become most truly themselves. A false destiny may be spotted by the fact that it consumes without transforming, without giving back the enlarged self. Becoming a parent is one of these basic human transformational deeds. By this act, we change our fundamental relationship with the universe--if nothing else, we lose our place as the pinnacle and end-point of evolution, and become a mere link. The demands of motherhood especially consume the old self, and replace it with something new, often better and wiser, sometimes wearier or disillusioned, or tense and terrified, certainly more self-knowing, but never the same again. Cordelia's Honor "Author's Afterword", 1996

Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it. ~Buddha Not being able to govern events, I govern myself. ~Michel de Montaigne The only correct actions are those that demand no explanation and no apology. ~Red Auerbach Don't accept your dog's admiration as conclusive evidence that you are wonderful. ~Ann Landers

*Thanks ghita and Aylee! We're off and running....* "There are three types of men: those who would offer succor and aid; those who would prey upon them; and the most loathsome breed... those who would totally ignore their plight." (who said this?) Irish

James Williams in an article about Bushido Edited to add the full quote: The warrior protects and defends because he realizes the value of others. He knows that they are essential to society and, in his gift of service, recognizes and values theirs... take the extra moment in dark parking lots at night to make sure that a woman gets into her car safely before leaving yourself. Daily involvement in acts such as these are as much a part of training as time spent in the dojo, and indeed should be the reason for that time spent training... When faced with a woman or child in a situation in which they are vulnerable, there are two types of men: those who would offer succor and aid, and those who would prey upon them. And in modern society, there is another loathsome breed who would totally ignore their plight!

Walking After Midnight (original) Donn Hecht, Alan Block I go out walkin after midnight, Out in the moonlight, just like we used to do, I'm always walkin after midnight searchin for you ~ I walk for miles along the highway, Well, that's just my way of sayin "I love you," I'm always walkin after midnight searchin for you ~ I stop to see a weepin willow cryin on his pillow Maybe he's cryin for me ~ And as the skies turn gloomy, night winds whisper to me, I'm lonesome as I can be... I go out walkin after midnight, Out in the starlight, just hopin you may be Somewhere a-walkin after midnight searchin for me. I stop to see a weepin willow cryin on his pillow Maybe he's cryin for me ~ And as the skies turn gloomy, night winds whisper to me, I'm lonesome as I can be... I go out walkin after midnight, Out in the starlight, just hopin you may be Somewhere a-walkin after midnight searchin for me. pinksugarsub

=Procrastination is like masturbation. It feels good at first, but then you realize you're just fucking yourself= I'm not sure who wrote this quote.

Aylee -> RE: QUOTE of the Day (12/1/2007 7:13:43 AM)
I have also seen it as: Masturbation is just like procrastination, it's fun at first, but in the end you're just screwing yourself. But it has always been attributed to those two persons: Anon and Unknown.

If you think you are beaten, you are. If you think you dare not, you don't. If you like to win but think you can't, it's almost certain you won't. If you think you'll lose, you're lost. For out in the world we find, success begins with a fellow's will - it's all in the state of mind. If you think you are outclassed, you are. You've got to think high to rise. You've got to be sure of yourself before you can ever win a prize. Life's battles don't always go to the stronger or faster man, but sooner or later the man who wins is the man who thinks he can. Walter D Wintle.

"I heard somebody say, 'Where's (Nelson) Mandela?' Well, Mandela's dead. Because Saddam killed all the Mandelas." --George W. Bush, on the former South African president, Washington, D.C., Sept. 20, 2007 I stole the above from a website I just knew Bush would have a memorable quote somewhere.[:D]

"Chivalry isn't dead; its for those who have it in their heart & are willing to be taught. Its a code of ethics, a way of life; who better to serve a Mistress than a Knight?"

"Everybody can be great... because anybody can serve. You don't have to have a college degree to serve. You don't have to make your subject and verb agree to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love." -Martin Luther King Jr.
