Quotable Nonsense

Something a little different for you today, a post made entirely of quotes.  I've often thought about making entire posts or stories out of quotes from different places and such, so today here's one.  It's not entirely tight, but I like it just the same.  Maybe you'll find a few that speak to you in there too.

"The more anger towards the past you carry in your heart, the less capable you are of loving in the present."

You're not afraid of the dark-you're afraid of what's in it.
You're not afraid of heights-you're afraid of falling.
You're not afraid of the people around you-you're just afraid of rejection.
You're not afraid to love-you're just afraid of not being loved back.
You're not afraid to let go-you're just afraid to accept the reality that it's gone.
You're not afraid to try again- you're just afraid of getting hurt for the same reason.

"The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own.  No apologies or excuses.  No one to lean on, rely on or blame.  The gift is yours.  It is an amazing journey-and you alone are responsible for the quality of it.  This is the day your life really begins."  Bob Moawad

"People too weak to follow their own dream, will ALWAYS find a way to discourage yours."
