Not sure if they're mottos, but they're definitely my favorite quotes/ quotes I live by. xP
"Seeing death as the end of life, is like seeing the horizon as the end of the ocean."
Then there's this quote that kinda became popular in away messages..
but it's always stuck with me and I find it a really good quote to live by.
"You have to take the good with the bad,
smile with the sad, love what you've got,
and remember what you've had.
Always forgive, but never forget.
Learn from mistakes, but never regret.
People change, things go wrong..
but just remember: life goes on."
Annd there's this poem that I'm in love with.. It holds a lot of meaning.
"I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings:
The free bird leaps
on the back of the wind
and floats downstream
till the current ends
and dips his wings
in the orange sun rays
and dares to claim the sky.
But a bird that stalks
down his narrow cage
can seldom see through
his bars of rage
his wings are clipped and
his feet are tied
so he opens his throat to sing.
The caged bird sings
with fearful trill
of the things unknown
but longed for still
and is tune is heard
on the distant hill
for the caged bird sings of freedom
The free bird thinks of another breeze
and the trade winds soft through the sighing trees
and the fat worms waiting on a dawn-bright lawn
and he names the sky his own.
But a caged bird stands on the grave of dreams
his shadow shouts on a nightmare scream
his wings are clipped and his feet are tied
so he opens his throat to sing
The caged bird sings
with a fearful trill
of things unknown
but longed for still
and his tune is heard
on the distant hill
for the caged bird sings of freedom. "
After I heard that poem for the first time, I couldn't stand to see birds in cages.. still cant. ;_;
