There are some remedies worse than the disease.

There's more to the truth than just the facts.

By daily dying I have come to be.

You never know what is enough, until you know what is more than enough.

Some people walk in the rain, others just get wet.

The obstacle is the path.

It is better to know some of the questions than all of the answers.

One day, someone showed me a glass of water that was half full. And he said, "Is it half full or half empty?" So I drank the water. No more problem.

Extreme remedies are very appropriate for extreme diseases.

You can't reason someone out of a position they didn't reason themselves into.

When the pain is great enough, we will let anyone be doctor.

Who is more foolish, the child afraid of the dark or the man afraid of the light?

    You are an amazing spirit. I admire your strength and courage. You help SO many people here and you are truly a good person. I wish you nothing but peace and love as we trudge this new road together.

    The journey is the reward.

    Never apologize for an emotion.

    Look not back into the dark night.

    For you
    Eric

    You have more wisdom in your heart and soul than many great scholars. You know what life is and what it isn't. I think that you have played a major part on this site just making people feel and laugh. Life is never what we expect or want it to be. It just is.

    You are a GOD SEND to many on this site . I have become a better person because of you and because of Lee. You have truly touched my heart and I will be forever grateful.

    Life has handed you a SH.. sandwich and you seem to eat it gracefully. I know we are not there to see your life on a daily basis but just knowing how you handle yourself on this site has enriched me and many others.

    Thank you Eric for your grace, your love, your compassion and for your heart. I will forever be indepted to you as you have made me realize how precious life is

    Great additions Lee!
    Thank you for sharing those! I added them to my ever-growing list. I have a new one today as well. Says something VERY well for me:

    "When I am listening to music, I float unconsciously. The words and melodies flow through my brain, body and soul. Imagine standing under the most beautiful waterfall, or in a wondefrully appointed shower, the perfect-temperature water pouring down over you. The infinite loops of history and harmony blend seemlessly into each other and wash my pain away."

    Love that
    The obstacle is the light? Love that.

    These awesome quotes remind me of my favorite Dylan Thomas poem.



    Do not go gentle into that good night,
    Old age should burn and rage at close of day;
    Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
    Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
    Because their words had forked no lightning they
    Do not go gentle into that good night.

    Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
    Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
    Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

    Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
    And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
    Do not go gentle into that good night.

    Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
    Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
    Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

    And you, my father, there on the sad height,
    Curse, bless me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
    Do not go gentle into that good night.
    Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
