Many people will walk in and out of your life, but only true friends will leave footprints in your heart. To handle yourself, use your head; to handle others, use your heart. Anger is only one letter short of danger. If someone betrays you once, it is his fault; if he betrays you twice, it is your fault. Great minds discuss ideas, average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people. He who loses money loses much; he who loses a friend, loses much more; he who loses faith, loses all. Beautiful young people are accidents of nature, but beautiful old people are works of art. Learn from the mistakes of others, you can't live long enough to make them all yourself. Friends, you and me... you brought another friend... and then there were three... we started our group... our circle of friends... and like that circle... there is no beginning or end... yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift, thats why they call it the present.

Thanks, Mikel. Needed this :-)
Sometimes I dont know why I do what I do, but I try not to question my intuition as I once did. Typing this made me late for work, but now I know why I had to :)

You wrote this? It's beautiful! So inspirational, Mikel. Thank you. It means a lot to me; it is a gift.
No Sophia, I did not do this. I could aruge that our collective conscious did and therefore a part of me did but...
I always attribute the author. In this case, it is Unknown. This morning however I found it online, and had never known about the beginning portion so I was compelled to post it and re-type it from an image.
Glad you appreciate it, it is beautiful.

An absolutely beautiful writing, no matter who did it originally. I am inspired and helped much. Thanks God.

Of course something like this is meaningless without some kind of perspective that lets you appreciate it's intent.
We are all moving in the same direction, on different routes.

I have have seen variations of this post before, but never compiled in this way. I like it.
As usual, Mikel, you have a way with words. I like the last statement: "We are all moving in the same direction, on different routes."
Hope you don't mind, I would like to add it to a quote DB on my own site.

Tim,
Feel free to quote it as is. These are not my words. This is a direct extract.
