Litt om å eldes... og litt om glede ;)

Voks opp så fort du kan. Det lønner seg. Den eneste tid du virkelig lever fullt ut, er fra tredve til seksti.

~Bernard Baruch~

Trøst er alderens kunst.

Ingen kvinne bør oppgi sin riktige alder. Det virker så beregnende.

~Oscar Wilde~

Nynner du sangen om høsten med, finner ditt hjerte fred.

~Herman Wildenvey~

Jeg er så glad i grunnen

og visste det ei før;

det er som jeg har funnen

en venn, der var forsvunnen,

mitt prektige humør.

~Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson~

Ingen følelse er så full av illusjon som gleden.

~Jacques-Benigne Bossuet~

Å eldes er en dårlig vane som en opptatt mann slett ikke lar oppstå.

~André Maurois~

Jo eldre jeg blir, desto morsommere blir livet.

Eldre mennesker er som museer: Fasaden spiller ingen rolle, bare skattene inni.

~Jeanne Moreau~

Det er vondt å merke at man blir eldre, men vondere ikke å merke det.

Det finnes en alder hvor en kvinne må være vakker for å bli elsket. Og så kommer den alder hvor hun må være elsket for å være vakker.

~Jane Austen~

Heller mange gleder enn for mye av én.

~Francis Bacon~

For smerten, den lever på alles munn i lyset,

så alle kan se den. Men først på tilværelsens Stillehavsbunn

vil sinnet bli dypt nok for gleden.

~André Bjerke~

Glede drar glede med seg.

~Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson~

Blant de gledene vi kan oppleve, er det største å oppdage

våre egne iboende muligheter og talenter,

fordi det vi oppdager, er noe umistelig,

noe vi selv kan forvalte og ikke skal takke andre for.

~Bente Clod~

Den høyeste gleden ligger så nær opp til smerten at den

som smerten har sine tårer.

~Alexandre Dumas d.y.~

Gleden er som et lys - tenner du det for andre,

faller skinnet tilbake på deg selv.

~Carit Etlar~

Kvifor er folk så uglade? Dei gjeng og ventar

si glede frå andre. Dei skulle sjølv glede andre, so vart dei glade.

Hva er det vi gleder oss så til alle sammen,

siden vi går med på å utsette oss for så mange skuffelser?

Snart får æ hentehår rundt øran Og livet slamrer hardt med døran

~Halvdan Sivertsen~

Det er utrolig hvordan vårt syn på alder forandrer seg med alderen.

~Carl Erik Martin Soya~

Litt av hvert... ;)

your life when you will be happy to hear the phone is for you.

~Fran Leibowitz~

Don't be so humble - you are not that great.

~Golda Meir~

The trouble with most people is that they think with their

hopes or fears or wishes rather than with their minds.

~Will Durant~

To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best,

night and day, to make you everybody else means to fight

the hardest battle which any human being can fight;

and never stop fighting.

~E.E. cummings~

He who trims himself to suit everyone will soon whittle himself away.

~Raymond Hull~

God has given you one face, and you make yourself another.

~William Shakespeare~

All my life I had been looking for something,

and everywhere I turned someone tried to tell me what it was.

I accepted their answers too, though they were often in

contradiction and even self-contradictory.

I was naïve. I was looking for myself and asking everyone

except myself questions which I, and only I, could answer.

It took me a long time and much painful boomeranging of my

expectations to achieve a realization everyone else appears

to have been born with: that I am nobody but myself.

~Ralph Ellison~

Cats, by means of their whiskers,

seem to possess something like an additional sense:

these have, perhaps, some analogy to the

antennae of moths and butterflies.

I can write better than anybody who can write faster,

and I can write faster than anybody who can write better.

~A. J. Liebling~

The best remedy for those who are afraid,

lonely or unhappy is to go outside,

somewhere where they can be quiet,

alone with the heavens, nature and God.

Because only then does one feel that all

is as it should be and that God wishes to

see people happy, amidst the simple beauty of nature.

~Anne Frank~

Happiness belongs to the self-sufficient.

~Aristotle~

The happiness that is genuinely satisfying is accompanied

by the fullest exercise of our faculties and the fullest

realization of the world in which we live.

~Bertrand Russell~

Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

~Albert Einstein~

Happiness comes when your work and words are of

benefit to yourself and others.

~Buddha~

Always be a first-rate version of yourself,

instead of a second-rate version of somebody else.

~Judy Garland~

We are so accustomed to disguise ourselves to others that

in the end we become disguised to ourselves.

~François Duc de La Rochefoucauld~

If you cannot be a poet, be the poem.

~David Carradine~

The important thing is this:

To be able at any moment to sacrifice what we are

for what we could become.

~Charles DuBois~

There are as many nights as days,

and the one is just as long as the other in the year's course.

Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness,

and the word 'happy' would lose its meaning if it were

not balanced by sadness.

~Carl Jung~

The richness I achieve comes from Nature, the source of my inspiration.

~Claude Monet~

The artist is nothing without the gift, but the gift is nothing without work.

~Emile Zola~

"I find that the harder I work, the more luck I seem to have."

~Thomas Jefferson~

Dare to be naive.

~Buckminster Fuller~

Only when we are no longer afraid do we begin to live.

~Dorothy Thompson~

If only we'd stop trying to be happy we'd have a pretty good time.

~Edith Wharton~

It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are.

~E.E. cummings~

The true way to render ourselves happy is to love our work

and find in it our pleasure.

~Francoise de Motteville~

Happiness is not in the mere possession of money; it lies in the joy of achievement, in the thrill of creative effort.

~Franklin D. Roosevelt~

Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim.

Accept no one's definition of your life; define yourself.

~Harvey Fierstein~

Learn to... be what you are, and learn to resign with a good

grace all that you are not.

~Henri Frederic Amiel~

In the End, we will remember not the words of our enemies,

but the silence of our friends.

~Martin Luther King Jr.~

Dancing is silent poetry.

~Simonides~

Good people do not need laws to tell them to act responsibly,

while bad people will find a way around the laws.

~Plato~

Never apologize for showing feeling.

When you do so, you apologize for the truth.

~Benjamin Disraeli~

If God had wanted me otherwise,

He would have created me otherwise.

~Johann von Goethe~

Wherever you go, go with all your heart.

~Confucius~

Here's to the confusion of our enemies!

~Frank Sinatra~

I feel sorry for people who don't drink. When they wake up in the morning, that's as good as they're going to feel all day.

~Frank Sinatra~

I'm for whatever gets you through the night.

~Frank Sinatra~

May you live to be 100 and may the last voice you hear be mine.

~Frank Sinatra~

The martial music of every sideburned delinquent on the face of the earth.

~Frank Sinatra~

The thing that influenced me most was the way Tommy played his trombone. It was my idea to make my voice work in the same way as a trombone or violin-not sounding like them, but "playing" the voice like those instrumentalists.

I wish I knew how

It would feel to be free

I wish that I could break

All the chains holding me

I wish I could say

Say ’em loud say ’em clear

For the whole round world to hear

I wish I could share

All the love that’s in my heart

Remove every doubt

It keeps us apart...

~Nina Simone~

Heart, we will forget him

Heart, we will forget him,

You and I, tonight!

You must forget the warmth he gave,

I will forget the light.

When you have done pray tell me,

Then I, my thoughts, will dim.

Haste! ‘lest while you’re lagging

I may remember him!

~Emily Dickinson~

På tide med litt julestemning her også? Jaaaaaaaa!!

and try to keep it all the year.

so lonely for - I don't know what exactly,

not having at other times.

It is Christmas in the heart that puts Christmas in the air.

~W.T. Ellis~

Christmas is forever, not for just one day,

for loving, sharing, giving, are not to put away

like bells and lights and tinsel, in some box upon a shelf.

The good you do for others is good you do yourself.

~Norman W. Brooks~

Remember

This December,

That love weighs more than gold!

~Josephine Dodge Daskam Bacon~

Wouldn't dreams be coming true

All the whole year through?

~Author Unknown~

And the Grinch, with his Grinch-feet ice cold in the snow,

stood puzzling and puzzling, how could it be so?

It came without ribbons. It came without tags.

It came without packages, boxes or bags.

And he puzzled and puzzled 'till his puzzler was sore.

Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn't before.

What if Christmas, he thought, doesn't come from a store.

What if Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more.

~Dr. Seuss~

Christmas - that magic blanket that wraps itself about us,

that something so intangible that it is like a fragrance.

It may weave a spell of nostalgia. Christmas may be a

day of feasting, or of prayer, but always it will be

a day of remembrance - a day in which we

think of everything we have ever loved.

~Augusta E. Rundel~

Driving home for Christmas

I can't wait to see those faces

I'm driving home for Christmas

Well, I'm moving down that line

And it's been so long

But I will be there

I sing this song

To pass the time away

Driving in my car

Driving home for christmas

It's gonna take some time

But I'll get there ..

Chris Rea.

Take this overcoat of shame

it never did belong to me...
