"No one saves us but ourselves. No one can and no one may. We ourselves must walk the path." - The Buddha

(I'm gonna go on a soul qoute rampage, sorry) :) “Music is an outburst of the soul.” ― Frederick Delius “It is very hard for evil to take hold of the unconsenting soul.” ― Ursula K. Le Guin, A Wizard of Earthsea “But souls can't be sold. They can only be lost and never found again.” ― Ray Bradbury, Long After Midnight “The finest thing under the sun and moon is the human soul. I marvel at the small miracles of kindness that pass between humans, I marvel at the growth of conscience, at the persistence of reason in the face of all superstition or despair. I marvel at human endurance.” ― Anne Rice, Pandora “Every single human soul has more meaning and value than the whole of history.” ― Nikolai A. Berdyaev “There is more to a soul than what others see” ― Colleen Coble, Fire Dancer Dreams won't always take you on a straight path to destiny, but they're usually related to what your soul wants for you.” ― Kelly Cutrone, If You Have to Cry, Go Outside: And Other Things Your Mother Never Told You “Tears had poured from her eyes without any change in her facial expression. It’s pure pain and pure surrender when your soul cries without any fight from your body and that’s how I knew she was deeply affected.” ― Renée Carlino, Sweet Thing

"NOW this is the law of the jungle, as old and as true as the sky, And the wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the wolf that shall break it must die. As the creeper that girdles the tree trunk, the law runneth forward and back; For the strength of the pack is the wolf, and the strength of the wolf is the pack. Wash daily from nose tip to tail tip; drink deeply, but never too deep; And remember the night is for hunting and forget not the day is for sleep. The jackal may follow the tiger, but, cub, when thy whiskers are grown, Remember the wolf is a hunter—go forth and get food of thy own. Keep peace with the lords of the jungle, the tiger, the panther, the bear; And trouble not Hathi the Silent, and mock not the boar in his lair. When pack meets with pack in the jungle, and neither will go from the trail, Lie down till the leaders have spoken; it may be fair words shall prevail. When ye fight with a wolf of the pack ye must fight him alone and afar, Lest others take part in the quarrel and the pack is diminished by war." —Rudyard Kipling (1865–1936)

"I would rather be ashes than dust! I would rather that my spark should burn out in a brilliant blaze than it should be stifled by dry-rot. I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet. The proper function of man is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them. I shall use my time." - Jack London

"What is at a peak is certain to decline. He who shows his hand will surely be defeated. He who can prevail in battle by taking advantage of his enemy's doubts is invincible." - Cao Cao "I'd rather betray the world than the world betray me." - Cao Cao

A cat has absolute emotional honesty: human beings, for one reason or another, may hide their feelings, but a cat does not. - Ernest Hemingway Be whom you are at heart; make no error in being yourself.

"To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else, is the greatest accomplishment." - Ralph Waldo Emerson "I've seen better days, but I've also seen worse. I don't have everything I want, but I do have all I need. I woke up with some pains and aches, but I woke up. My life may not be perfect, but I am blessed."

I don’t like politeness, but I like kindness. And from the definitions I was given as a child, one was created by people – “manners” and “etiquette” – and the other stems from one’s heart. Politeness is a social custom, but kindness is done with love. I don’t think kids should be taught how to be polite, but rather speak with love. They should learn how to be conscious of the effect their words and actions have on other people.
