Paul Valery

The best way to make your dreams come true is to wake up.

Benjamin Franklin and Blossom from the Powerpuff Girls

Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise.

Early to bed, early to wake, makes a lady smart, pretty, and great. 

Terri Guillemets

The time just before dawn contains the most energy of all hours of the day. This has helped me become an early riser and an early doer. When I wake to see that it’s light out already, I feel the world has started without me.

Oscar Wilde

To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all.

My monkey mind jumps

How did I get from my bed

To my favorite shop?

St. Valentine right?

To all your lovestruck people,

Do the arrows hurt??

Row row row your boat.
Rowing gently down the stream.
Life is so extreme.

Consumerism

Paid quite a bit for the dress

But it was worth it

The warmness of tea

Travels down my throat; at ease.

I let out a sigh.

Cold draft from the vents

creeps up from the new heater

I rather cover it

Michael Flores Caasi

Face your hardest tasks
with might and sweet sense of pride
Do them, complain not.

Matsuo Basho

水仙や
白き障子の
とも移り

The narcissus
With the white a shoji screen
Shines together.

Today is the year

the pig digs its nose in dirt

for the raspberries

Matsuo Basho

Year after year
on the monkey’s face
a monkey’s face.

Buffy: I need to talk to you.
Willow: Good. Cause, I've been letting things fester. And I don't like it. I want to be fester-free.

Finding Direction in Life: Where are you going? - Aaron Karmin

A: Come with me.

B Where are we going master?

A: ... 

B: Why are we doing this? I don't see the point.

A: ...

B: Why are we journeying?

A: ...

B: Where are we going?

A: :) What do you see?

B: I can see the rock and the moss, but they are not as beautiful as the grass in the fields... I can see the wildflower, but it is nothing compared to the flowers in the meadow... I can see the mouse, and the small trickle on the mountain here, which is nothing compared to the torrent of the falls!

A: Is there more? 

B: The only other thing I see, Master, is our path.

The more you know yourself, the more clarity there is.

The only thing complaining does is convince other people that you are not in control.

Albert Einstein

We cannot solve problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.

Dr. Suess

Be who you are and what you feel, because in the end those who matter don't mind, and those who mind don't matter.

(possible example of an antimetabole)

Carl Jung

You are what you do, not what you say you do.
