The Greatest Song Ever Written (according to Paul McCartney)

I may not

always love you,

but as long as there are

stars above you,

you'll never

need to doubt it.

I'll make you so 

sure about it.

God only knows 

what I'd be without you.

~ Brian Wilson and Tony Asher, God Only Knows, sung by The Beach Boys

Simple , but profound

Start where you are

Use what you have

Do what you can

~ Arthur Ashe

I hear ya, Buddy!

I like to walk in the rain,
because nobody can see my tears
~ Charlie Chaplin

Best (and saddest) Breakup Song and Lyrics EVER

You could be my silver spring 
Blue-green colors flashin' 
I would be your only dream 
Your shinin' autumn ocean crashin' 

And don't say that she's pretty 
And did you say that she loved you? 
Baby, I don't wanna know 

So, I begin not to love you 
Turn around, see me running 
I say, "I loved you years ago" 
Tell myself you never loved me, no 

And don't say that she's pretty 
And did you say that she loved you? 
Baby, I don't wanna know, oh, no 
And can you tell me, was it worth it? 
Baby, I don't wanna know 

Time cast a spell on you 
But you won't forget me 
I know I could have loved you 
But you would not let me

~ Silver Spring, written by Stevie Nicks, about Lindsey Buckingham, of Fleetwood Mac

Point taken

We don't do TV commercials, because our target audience isn't sitting around watching TV.

~ Ferruccio Lamborghini

If you know, you know.

I wasn't going to go home because I lifted.
~ Nolan Seigel (age 19), attempting to qualify for one of the last three spots at the 2024 Indianapolis 500 on his maiden try.

Siegel was the first to make a run with a 229.566mph four-lap average but dropped a spot after team-mate Katherine Legge managed 230.092mph. After Marcus Ericsson, the 2022 Indy 500 winner, jumped to 32nd with a four-lap pace of 230.027mph, it bumped Siegel out of the field – and Rahal to 33rd – with only a couple of minutes remaining. 

“I wasn’t going to go home because I lifted" 

Primed as the last to go out, leaving Rahal without a chance to defend, Siegel ran an opening lap of 229.288mph. Pushing for every ounce of speed, he fully committed into Turn 1 on his second lap and glanced the wall on the exit of the corner, sending him into a spin before hitting the Turn 2 barriers. “I was going to go home because I went flat and did everything I could do,” Siegel said. “I wasn’t going to go home because I lifted.” 

The valiant effort portrayed encapsulated everything desired in a racing driver. And it was noticed by many of Siegel’s peers, including Rahal.

Not sure I get it, but there it is…

You can never be unfaithful to your one true love…

~ Norm, to Sam, in the final scene of the final episode of Cheers

Golden (silence is...)

If you’re too tired to speak, sit next to me, because I too, am fluent in silence.
 ~ Keanu Reeves

This is so correct.

Some people die a 25 and aren't buried until 75.

~ Benjamin Franklin

I'm really, really trying to focus!

Focusing is about saying no.

~ Steve Jobs

Warren Buffett's Most Important Decision in Life

Marry the Right Person 
 
Buffett calls it the most important decision in life. 

Your partner will be there through the ups & downs. 

Find someone who: 
  • Challenges you 
  • Supports your dreams 
  • Brings joy to your days 
The right partner is priceless.

Can confirm...

 It is written - 

One who's heart is not content

will never know happiness.

~ Chinese proverb, as mentioned in China Sky (1945)

It works!

Here's what I do when I'm feeling down:

 I get very quiet and very still...

And I say to myself:

"Everyone in the world is as miserable and empty as I am.

They're just better at pretending."

Try it sometime, it may bring your some peace.

~ Mom, in the The Edge of Seventeen
