    If I had my child to raise all over again,
    I’d build self-esteem first, and the house later.

    I’d finger-paint more, and point the finger less.
    I would do less correcting and more connecting.

    I’d take my eyes off my watch, and watch with my eyes.
    I’d take more hikes and fly more kites.

    I’d stop playing serious, and seriously play.
    I would run through more fields and gaze at more stars.

    I’d do more hugging and less tugging.

    Here's my favourite saying from Tom Waits:

    'Champagne for my real friends, real pain for my sham friends'
    “ "Thank you Palestrina. It’s a wonderful evening, it’s great to be here and I wanna dedicate you a super sexy song." " (last words of Mark Sandman of Morphine)

    I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did,
    but people will never forget how you made them feel....

    Look, tolerance does not mean you agree with everything that other people say, or that you subordinate your own best instincts to the tyranny of mass opinion. It simply means you pretend not to know that everyone on the planet but you is a total fucking moron.

    The most unforgivable thing about intolerance is, by its inherent assumption that one group, belief or lifestyle is superior to another, it fails to take into account the ultimate truth which binds us all, black and white, gay and straight, Republican and Democrat, Arab and Israeli, Hindu and Muslim, Catholic and Protestant, Serb and Croat, Hutu and Tutsi: the fact that, at the end of the day, we are all equal pains-in-the-ass, in the eyes of the Lord.

    Of course, that's just my opinion. I could be wrong.

    wish I had a needle and thread
    to sew as fine as could be
    I'd sew the ghost of my coat tails
    then head on down the road.
