Courtney's+Convictions

No worries. Life's too short.

Live today as if it may become your last!

Don't go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first.  The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page.

It seemed to him the roads of freedom. I see the world Lucius Hunt, not as you see it.

All your life you were only waiting for this moment to be free.

Well done is better than well said. Be as smart as you can, but remember that it is always better to be wise than to be smart.

All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players: they have their exits and their entrances. Because it is my name! Because I cannot have another in my life! How can I live without my name?

If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music that her hears...

To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.  At any rate, that is happiness; to be dissolved into something complete and great. When it comes to one, it comes as naturally as sleep.

You know it is never too late to shoot for the stars. Go forth under that open sky.

The stars awakwen a certain reverence, because though always present, they are always inaccessible.

 And would you find that one you're dreaming of?

Say your goodbyes if you've got someone you can say goodbye to

Let's see how far we've come. 

Could you say goodbye to yesterday? So do whatever it takes.

As I went back over that familiar road, I could almost believe that a boy and girl ran along beside me, as our shadows used to, laughing and whispering to each other in the grass.



Would you live each moment like your last?
