I don`t mind that you do not listen to my mind if you listen very carefully to my heart. For I am not so shure about what is true as I am about is good.

It is unwise to be too sure of one's own wisdom. It is healthy to be reminded that

the strongest might weaken and the wisest might err.


Mahatma Gandhi

[Lurking Duke]

Have you ever wondered which hurts the most: saying something and wishing you had not,

or saying nothing, and wishing you had?

[Lurking Duke]

Uncertainty is caused by the lack of knowledge. 

Hesitation and fear are twin sisters.

Motivation comes in waves.  Act while you have it.

Present actions are memories you will talk about in your elder years.

[Lurking Duke]

I love action even when I have to ask for forgiveness later.


Doing something is a leader`s privilege.

[Lurking Duke]

It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles.

Then the victory is yours.

It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell.


Buddha

[Lurking Duke]

A crying endlessly through the universe that time carries away.

The names and the deeds of greatest and the smallest join together as equal.

All that remains, is in the memories of those who cared we came this way for a brief moment.

The biggest can be forgotten and the smallest can be reminded,

depending on the impression we left on each others memories.

The oblivion will come to us all,

to me,

to the human race,

to planet earth,

to solar system,

to milkyway,

to the universe.

I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did,
 

but people will never forget how you made them feel.

[Lurking Duke]

What is this force
this force
you bring in your arms
and will only serves to obey
that only tells you to obey
What is this force, friend
that puts you at ease with others
and wrong with yourselfe
What is this force, friend

Don't tell me you don't understand me
when the days become sour
don't tell me you never felt
a force growing on the fingers
and anger being born in your teeth
Don't tell me you don't understand me

What it is this force, friend
that puts you at ease with others
and wrong with yourself.

Free Translation of a Sérgio Godinho poem

Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired,

signifies in the final sense a theft from those who hunger and are not fed,

those who are cold and are not clothed.
