MusicHead Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 "Realize your youth while you have it. Don’t squander the gold of your days, listening to the tedious, trying to improve the hopeless failure, or giving away your life to the ignorant, the common, and the vulgar. These are the sickly aims, the false ideals, of our age. Live! Live the wonderful life that is in you! Let nothing be lost upon you. Be always searching for new sensations. Be afraid of nothing." ----- Oscar Wilde I believe Iron Maiden said this more succinctly in "Wasted Years." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MusicHead Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 Iron Maiden Wasted Years From the coast of gold, across the seven seasI'm travellin' on, far and wideBut now it seems, I'm just a stranger to myselfAnd all the things I sometimes do, it isn't me butsomeone else I close my eyes, and think of homeAnother city goes by in the nightAin't it funny how it is, you never miss it 'til it'sgone awayAnd my heart is lying there and will be 'til mydying day [Chorus:]So understandDon't waste your time always searching forthose wasted yearsFace up... make your standAnd realise you're living in the golden years Too much time on my hands, I got you on my mindCan't ease this pain, so easilyWhen you can't find the words to say it's hard tomake it through another dayAnd it makes me wanna cry and throw myhands up to the sky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucas Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Helping those who have been struck by unforeseeable misfortunes is fundamentally different from making dependency a way of life. Although the big word on the left is 'compassion,' the big agenda on the left is dependency. - Thomas Sowell 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And all you have to do is learn to turn the other way As people around you suffer, well, it’s easy, people suffer every dayAnd then you find you’re in a trap of your own making, it holds you in its clutchBecause once you’ve touched the poison, you poison everything you touch 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Permanent-Rush Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 (edited) ...The important thing is: if you fail once, or if your luck is bad this time, the dream is still there. A dream is only over if you give it up-or if it comes true(Neil Ellwood Peart). The ones we wish could hear us have heard it all before.(Neil Ellwood Peart) Those who know what's best for us must rise and save us from ourselves.(Neil Ellwood Peart) Stamina is the force that drives the drumming; it's not really a sprint.(Neil Ellwood Peart) I take these quotes to heart.
