To be a philosopher is not merely to have subtle thoughts, not even to found a school, but so to love wisdom as to live according to its dictates, a life of simplicity, independence, magnanimity, and trust.

Our life is frittered away by detail. An honest man has hardly need to count more than his ten fingers, or in extreme cases he may add his ten toes, and lump the rest. Simplicity, simplicity, simplicity!

Guiding Light
the road is long, and the road is tough
but we have not traveled it enough.
we do not know what lurks in the dark corners
or behind every shadow.
but our faith and love is our guiding light.
and will always shine bright.
this light will be like a lighthouse beacon
leading you home, and knowing
you'll never be alone.
this guiding light not only shines in our hearts and minds
but will last for all of time.
this is the light of the LORD above,
who always gives his guiding love.
if you guide your heart in the right direction
it will always seek perfection.
look around and you will see
that all nations are longing to be free.
just like a ship stranded at sea
this light is there for you and me.
the mysteries to life we must unravel
for it's a long hard road that we must travel.
so seek the lord and you will find
that true love will unwind.

My Guiding Star
You've been there through the highs
And there through the lows
You know things about me
That noone else knows
I'd trust you with my life
You'd guard me with your smile
When i look back on life
I'll know it's all been worthwhile
Because of this
Because of you
Because of all that we've been through
Because of us
And how we are
You're my guiding star
My guiding star
I couldn't ask for more
Then what you've given me
You've opened up my heart
and made me feel free
There's nowhere else i'd rather go
Nothing else i'd rather see
Then been there with you
And seeing you smile back at me
And i want to thank you
Because of this
Because of you
Because of all that we've been through
Because of us
And how we are
You're my guiding star
My guiding star

My Motto For Life
My Motto,
if you can all it that
is very simple.
Help, Caring, Love and Comfort.
Help
where, whenever and whomever
whether they be a stranger or friend.
Caring,
opening your arms to greet someone
treating them as a brother, sister and friend.
Love
everyone whomever they may, be
friend, foe and family.
Comfort,
comforting all ailing souls,
young and old alike
that you may come across.
It is a small motto
of which I live my life by.
Something I have done
since I was very young.
My motto for life.

The chief lesson I have learned in a long life is that the only way to make a man trustworthy is to trust him and the surest way to make him untrustworthy is to distrust him and show your distrust.

The motto of chivalry is also the motto of wisdom; to serve all, but love only one.
Simplicity
Simplicity...
Isn't often easy to achieve,
When teased by variety.
And those assortments of life.
Yet when simplicity arrives,
As a necessity...
One is able to breathe deeply,
With a sense of peace and clarity.

Einstein has a feeling for the central order of things. He can detect it in the simplicity of natural laws. We may take it that he felt this simplicity very strongly and directly during his discovery of the theory of relativity. Admittedly, this is a far cry from the contents of religion. I don't believe Einstein is tied to any religious tradition, and I rather think the idea of a personal God is entirely foreign to him. But as far as he is concerned there is no split between science and religion: the central order is part of the subjective as well as the objective realm, and this strikes me as being a far better starting point.

My Joy Is In The Lord
My joy is in the Lord
If I’m waking or while I sleep.
I find His joy in everything
That joy I shall always seek to keep.
He fills my heart with a feeling of little bubbles
They’re bubbles of His Holy Spirit’s love.
My life I will give to only Him
For I seek His home above.
No other joy will man ever need
When you walk with Christ throughout your day.
Jesus was what the Father gave this world
He sent His Son who died, to save.
He walks amongst us guiding paths we walk
He shelters our spirit, from a blood stained cross.
Don’t let life ever take God’s joy away.
Walk with your Savior Jesus, walking with Him every day.

Motto And Morris
Motto and Morris,
With love in the air to catch your view!
And like the apples of love in the garden of peace,
But try to move up straight with your positive mind always.
Motto and Morris,
Come and share your love with me tonight;
For the colours of the rainbow are now seen up high,
And like leaders with workers inthe land of plenty.
See! !
I have heard the news;
Listen!
I have seen your lovely flower;
And like your motto and the muse of Morris,
But, love is in the air and you have to be very wise to come closer to it!

Life is so unfair
Life is like an autumn breeze
Falling leaves... and barren trees
A Hope to surrender... none at ease
Why is Life such a tease? ....
Vivid memories and broken dreams...
Life is so unfair now it seems
Why are some fed with golden spoons?
A life they live is that of a cocoon
Yet there are others who suffer the ill
Causing them miseries and pain if it will
Where is the guiding force that dwells?
I ask to seek why life is a hell?
Why not for those who have the means?
What is HE trying to prove and conceal?
Yet prevailing darkness, for some I say
In spite you pray to HIM every day....

Smile, The Gift Of God!
Smile is the essence of Life
So Smile and Smile always
You can win hearts by throwing
A smile even at a stranger
Though sometime he may never respond
Don’t be desperate since it would surely
Have made an impact on him
Making him think of being guilty
Of not returning a smile at you
Next Time when you see him
Would surely wink an eye at you
With a smile deep inside his mind
But not showing it although
Gradually you will win his heart
A friendship at no cost to you
Earned by a simple smile
Cast at him quite unknowingly.
Smile is a beautiful word
Simplicity is its Motto
Musical is its vibration
Imaginative is its implication
Leniency is its path
Expression is its Result.

A woman finds the natural lay of the land almost unconsciously; and not feeling it incumbent on her to be guide and philosopher to any successor, she takes little pains to mark the route by which she is making her ascent.
