A quote I wanted to share

[Wameyn]

So live your life so the fear of death can never enter your heart. Trouble no one about their religion; respect others in their views, and demand that they respect yours. Love your life, perfect your life, beautify all things in your life. Seek to make your life long and of service to your people. Prepare a noble death song for the day when you go over the great divide. Always give a word or sign of salute when meeting or passing a stranger if in a lonely place. Show respect to all people, but grovel to none. When you arise in the morning, give thanks for the light, for your life and strength. Give thanks for your food and for the joy of living. If you see no reason for giving thanks, the fault lies in yourself. Touch not the poisonous firewater that makes wise ones turn to fools and robs them of their visions. When your time comes to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song, and die like a hero going home.

-Tecumseh

Wow. Thank you so much for opening this thread. What a brilliant idea. Why?

1. Tecumseh's words...are just... I'm out of words. Nothing to add. Very applicable for what was/is going on in some threads. Luckily, many trolls have been blocked. I'd wish his words will be read by many...and understood. And brought into practise. Full stop.

2. I love quotes.

3. Wow.

4. Thank you.

Thanks man, I really like quotes too, this one was in a movie I watched last night called Act of Valor but thought of AF when I heard it and if we all followed it this place could be even better, as could the world.

It is the simple joy of living and treating others and with respect, The value of virtue , And the power of speaking from your heart when you see injustice done, To be humble, yet speak with the power of thunder if need be, and to have purpose in ones community
Its verse like this that drives a deeper understanding of our humanity.
Thank you for sharing.

Some quotes I Like...

"Winston Churchill"

"Courage is rightly esteemed the first of human qualities... because it is the quality which guarantees all others."


"Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen."


"It is always wise to look ahead, but difficult to look further than you can see."
