You fell down, Man get up.

With your knees and your face in the dust.

So you'll look around and tell the world
You are no God damn mistake.

[ivorylines20]

a good quote, but not my favorite

This quote reminds me of a well-known quote:

"Never judge a book by its cover."

Forgive me for not knowing who originally said it though.

[My Own Way]

Be strong. Be dilligent. Be conscientious. There is never anything gained by taking the easy road. Love your siblings. Love them well, for they are your blood, and when you are unsure, or times are difficult they will be the ones to stand by your side. Laugh. Laugh out loud, and laugh often. Don't settle. Know what you want and reach for it. And if you don't know what you want, be patient. The answers will come to you in time, and you may find that your hearts desire has been right under your nose all the while.
**Julia Quinn**

Speak when you are angry, and you'll make the best speech you'll ever regret. - Laurence J. Peter (1919-1988)
