druidess6308: Life is a process of becoming, a combination of states we have to go through. Where people fail is that they wish to elect a state and remain in it. This is a kind of death.~Anais Nin
"People living deeply have no fear of death."~Anais Nin
"Time is a companion that goes with us on a journey. It reminds us to cherish each moment, because it will never come again. What we leave behind is not as important as how we have lived."~Captain Jean-Luc Picard, Star Trek: Generations
Just some quotes that I love for what they say of how life should be lived, to add some musings on life, and what it means to live it to its fullest. I thought you might enjoy them, Kansan.
Indeed. And it brought to mind a few others:
"There are those who will not draw simply because they know I am gifted with considerable dexterity in dispensing the justice of Judge Colt. There are those who might draw, but they know that I know who they are and that, as a result, they would be the first to die. Then there those who might draw and beat me, but know that I am dying from tuberculosis and, as such, have no fear of death and that it is nearly impossible to beat a man who doesn't give a damn." ~ Louis La'Mour
"Ain't nothin' that'll rattle a man more than standin' still when you oughtta' be runnin' like a striped assed ape." ~ Willie Nelson from the movie "Barbarosa"
"When I shuffle off this mortal coil, if even one person says about me 'He was a good man and a good friend and he will be missed.' then my life will have been a success regardless of any personal accomplishments or failures." ~ The Kansan (Don McCrary)
"Uh, no Ma'am, we're Border Patrol, not policemen - we don't have any balls." ~ Kris Kristofferson to Jean Smart
"I have half a handshake,
Take it and you'll see
Together we'll be friends
And that's the way that it should be." ~ Mac Davis~"Sara's Song"
