Sakata Gintoki (Gintama)
- Gintama
Life is basically like a soap bubble. It rides on the wind, flying here and there... And before you realize it, pop! It's gone. When it's about to disappear, you think that you could've flown a bit higher... But by that time, it's already too late.
Mabel Cook Cole, Philippine Folk Tales
- The Man with the Coconuts
A man who had been to gather his coconuts loaded his horse heavily with the fruit. On the way home he met a boy whom he asked how long it would take to reach the house. "If you go slowly," looking at the load on the horse, "you will arrive very soon; but if you go fast, it will take you all day." The man could not believe this strange speech, so he hurried his horse. But the coconuts fell off and he had to stop to pick them up. Many times he did this, and it was night when he reached home.

- I Am Unique
I come with no wrapping or pretty pink bows. I am who I am, from my head to my toes. I tend to get loud when speaking my mind. Even a little crazy some of the time. I'm not a size 5 and don't care to be. You can be you and I can be me. I try to stay strong when pain knocks me down. And the times that I cry are when no one's around. To err is human or that's what they say. Well, tell me who's perfect anyway.
Heidi by Johanna Spyri
- God
God is a good father to us all, and knows better than we do what is good for us. If we ask Him for something that is not good for us, He does not give it, but something better still, if only we will continue to pray earnestly and do not run away and lose our trust in Him. God did not think what you have been praying for was good for you just now; but be sure He heard you, for He can hear and see every one at the same time, because He is a God and not a human being like you and me...
keep Inspiring Me
- Life
There are a lot of things that can provide inspiration - seeing other people accomplish great things, seeing other people overcome adversity, hearing inspirational quotes from great people, the sheer beauty of nature, remind us just how lucky we are to be alive. Having a positive outlook on life is a crucial part of finding inspiration. Our brains are wired to find things we're looking for - if you're always cynical or waiting for things to go wrong, then your life will reflect that.
Bob Marley
- Someone
Only once in your life, I truly believe, you find someone who can completely turn your world around. You tell them things that you've never shared with another soul and they absorb everything you say and actually want to hear more. You share hopes for the future, dreams that will never come true, goals that were never achieved and the many disappointments life has thrown at you. When something wonderful happens, you can't wait to tell them about it, knowing they will share in your excitement.
