“If you have a problem that can be fixed, then there is no use in worrying. If you have a problem that cannot be fixed, then there is no use in worrying.” – Buddhist proverb

a few Voltaire quotes:

If God did not exist, it would be necessary to invent Him.

Think for yourselves and let others enjoy the privilege to do so, too

Life is thickly sown with thorns, and I know no other remedy than to pass quickly through them. The longer we dwell on our misfortunes, the greater is their power to harm us.

The last quote about lifes's path has been interpreted by several thinkers before and after this quote with some variation.

Life's path is strewn with thorns. My only suggestion is to pass thru those thorn bushes quickly, I find it is better to pass through them quickly and to not agonized over every prick you feel along the way. The longer we dwell on our misfortunes, the greater is their power to harm us.

I don't always agree with Judge Judy's rulings but more often than not when she tries to straighten someone out I find myself thinking 'Wow, wish I could say something like that'. Judge Judy quotes:

"Don't pee on my leg and tell me it's raining."

"If it doesn't make sense, it's not true."

"If you didn't lie you wouldn't need to have such a good memory".

"Beauty fades. Dumb is forever."

[CarolKing]

“Music can lift us out of depression or move us to tears - it is a remedy, a tonic, orange juice for the ear. But for many of my neurological patients, music is even more - it can provide access, even when no medication can, to movement, to speech, to life. For them, music is not a luxury, but a necessity.”
― Oliver Sacks


Oliver Sacks was the doctor depicted in the movie Awakenings he was a neurologist and just died at the age of 82. He really explains how magical music is.
