    I read this somewhere the other day and it wants me to post it:

    Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.
    ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

    That is an excellent one, Pris! It can be applied in a lot of ways. Social, Psychological, Spiritual, Physical, and the best yet.....on a whim.

    I like this saying on on a sign on my husband's office door:
    " NO TRESPASSING! Violators will be shot. Survivors will be shot again."

    We were going to put it on the outside of our front door but I thought it might attract some unwanted attention.

    The secret of success, is to go from mistake to mistake, without losing your enthusiasm.

    Never test how deep the water is with both feet.

    The trouble with being punctual, is that nobody's there to appreciate it.

    If you do a job well you'll get stuck with it.

    When tempted to fight fire with fire, remember that the Fire Dept. uses water.

    Please try (Do… or do not. There is no try. ~ Yoda) to limit them as best you can (I have a short attention span) -- just your favourites!

    Please feel free to repeat those already mentioned if they are your favourites as well!

    Here are some of mine:

    Let this be your motto - Rely on yourself!
    For, whether the prize be ribbon or throne,
    The victor is he who can go it alone.

    ~ John Godfrey Saxe

    Twixt the optimist and pessimist
    The difference is droll:
    The optimist sees the doughnut
    But the pessimist sees the hole.

    ~ McLandburgh Wilson

    All you need is love.
    ~ John Lennon

    You are only given a little spark of madness.
    You mustn’t lose it.

    ~ Robin Williams

    I went nowhere and found nothing but imagination.
    Imagination went nowhere and found nothing but me.

    ~ JoeEcho

    Row, row, row your boat,
    Gently down the stream.
    Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily,
    Life is but a dream.

    ~ sung by Kirk, McCoy, and Spock (yeah, I know, doesn’t really count! )
    When I was young and I was complaining and saying: ''I can't do it '' My mom was always saying: ''Can't do it is dead ! his brother's name is ''TRY'' ''

    In french it was: ''Je suis pas capable'' et ma mère disait: ''pas capable est mort ! Son frère s'appelle essaie !'' hhahaa...
    Do you speak french Pris ?

    So i'm aligne with your saying :D

    I like it because it reminds me that we are co-creating this world and we are never alone.

    Lol! So, 'I can't do it' and 'try' are both dead?... Don't know why... made me think of Uncle Soon Dead & Aunt Gonna-Bite-It (Thumb Wars)! Sorry, my mind is wondering.

    I don't speak French... Although, I used to be quite good at it... I only remember a wee bit from high school.

    I'm better at comprehending German.

    Thank you RunningDeer for these three videos. Just the kind of thing I was thinking of when I posted my etch-a-sketch and quote.

    I am glad that Avalon keeps thread posts for years so we can refer back to them when we want. Some for inspiration (again) and some for laughs (again) among other things....
