“we are responsible for what we are; and whatever we wish ourselves to be, we have the power to make ourselves. If what we are now has been the result of our own past actions, it certainly follows that whatever we wish to be in the future can be produced by our present actions; so we have to know how to act. There is such a thing as frittering away our energies. It is doing work with cleverness and as a science; by knowing how to work, one can obtain the greatest results. You must remember that all work is simply to bring out the power of the mind, which is already there, to wake up the soul."-swami vivekananda (a monk)

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.

fabulous?"  
Actually, who are you not to be?  You are a child of God; your playing
small doesn't serve the world.” -(Marianne Williamson, quoted by Nelson Mandella in his inaugural speech)

May St. Patrick guard you wherever you go,
and guide you in whatever you do--
and may his loving protection be a blessing to you always.
May the road rise to meet you,

May the wind be always at your back,

May the sun shine warm upon your face,

The rains fall soft upon your fields and,

Until we meet again,

May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

Somewhere far along this road, he lost his soul to a woman so heartless...
How could you be so heartless? Oh... How could you be so heartless?

How could you be so Dr. Evil, you bringin' out a side of me that I dont know...
I decided we weren't gon' speak so Why we up 3 A.M. on the phone
Why does she be so mad at me fo' Homie I dont know, she's hot and cold
I won't stop, won't mess my groove up 'Cause I already know how this thing go”

No more laying up in your arms
No calling, saying you want me back

But tonight baby you got me sad and blue

I just heard about the girl in your car, yall kissing at the bar

Got me crying

Oh, you got me hatin' on the club
'Cause you took my love
Oh you took my love
Now you got me like whoahhh(why..)
You got me hatin' on the club(why..)
You took my love(why..)
Why'd you have to take my love(why..)
Whoahh...”  -Rihanna
