Never -Say -Die Qoutes for the brave hearts

Quotes by Morihei Ueshiba:

"A good stance and posture reflect a proper state of mind."

"All life is a manifestation of the spirit, the manifestation of love."

"As soon as you concern yourself with the 'good' and 'bad' of your fellows, you create an opening in your heart for maliciousness to enter. Testing, competing with, and criticizing others weaken and defeat you."

"Create each day anew."

"Life is growth. If we stop growing, technically and spiritually, we are as good as dead."

"One does not need buildings, money, power, or status to practice the Art of Peace. Heaven is right where you are standing, and that is the place to train."

"Study how water flows in a valley stream, smoothly and freely between the rocks. Also learn from holy books and wise people. Everything - even mountains, rivers, plants and trees - should be your teacher."

"The divine is not something high above us. It is in heaven, it is in earth, it is inside us."

"True victory is self-victory; let that day arrive quickly!"

"Your heart is full of fertile seeds, waiting to sprout."

Some of my favourite quotes from Spike Milligan......


"A sure cure for seasickness is to sit under a tree"

"Contraceptives should be used on every conceivable occasion."

"Money can't buy friends, but it can get you a better class of enemy."

"Are you going to come quietly, or do I have to use earplugs?"

"I'm a hero with coward's legs."

"Is there anything worn under the kilt? No, it's all in perfect working order."

"Chopsticks are one of the reasons the Chinese never invented custard."

*giggles*

Here's for ones who fear defying others


"To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best, night and
day, to make you like everybody else - means to fight the hardest battle
which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting."
- e. e. cummings "A Poet's Advice to Students"

Wow! Thats good to give a laugh to brave souls!

runaways never win, winners never runaway

when the going gets tough, the tough get going

(or just resign, like Richard Nixon, who liked this quote)

If at first you don't succeed, give it up. No sense in making a total ass out of yourself.
Merry Andrew (2005)

Never put off until tomorrow what can be put off until day after tomorrow.
(same source)

Your very wise MA. lol

Never lead with your hole-card
Sglass circa 2005

I found this one somewhere, it really made me stir a bit.


The meanest thing you can ever commit in all your life is being silent when you are confronted with a problem, a negative flow of events. To be quiet, to ignore your pains in order that their exposure might not vex others you love is cowardice. Speak up! If evil strikes your life, stand up and raise your voice. Come what may; never succumb to the patronizing power of evil. Be strong, fight the good fight. Stand by the truth.
-Anonymous

Silliest quote I've ever read, spidergal. When confronted with a problem, the best thing to do is to solve it as quietly and unobtrusively as possible, without involving anyone else. My problem is my problem, not anyone else's. To burden others with one's problem is selfish and egotistical.

Merry Andrew, I told it in the beginning- it sort of stirred me- i really could not get the knack of it.

I suppose it means if you dont stand up for yourself its just gona happen again and again.
If you kick evil in th butt its likely to leave you alone.

A quote-
Kepp away from people who try to belittle your ambitions.
Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you too, can become great.
Mark Twain

Another one unrelated bt it tickled my fancy-
We live in an age when unnecessary things are our only necessity.Oscar Wilde.

Material Girl-
I seem to get a little hang of it now, I suppose. May be, the writer needs to convey that we must not capitulate to evil or negative influence at any cost. Ms Andrew, I don't surmise this to be related to one's psychological problems, the problems that are referred to are supposedly the ones that you encounter when evil strikes. Just suppose, someone is being stalked everyday while commuting back home. Now, wouldn't it be wise to approach police, talk to your spouse……you know, to act bravely. Being submissive might invite some big trouble and stress.



That's a good one, Material Girl.



That's tricky, but a good one again. Now, surfing on the Net is really quite unnecessary for me but still I seem to have made it necessary somehow.

Napolean Hill, in his book Think and Grow Rich, says, "Runaways never win, Winners never runaway." A simple, very true one, I guess.

Was mich nicht tötet, macht mich stärker.

(that which does not kill me, makes me stronger--if that's not the correct german quote, perhaps someone will provide it)
