For life is what life is, for that is what I say life is, therefore making life what it is, and thats what I say life is, and therefore I made life what life is.

For my self I may, yet not to define what is not mine, for my life is mine, and not thy's

We think of such thought's while sitting in one spot, and wonder of so meany thought's, shall we take them from that spot? or shall we not?

Have not all thought's been thought? In such a spot?

Or would are flesh be that spot where all thought's have been thought?

Why dose peace mean what it mean's?
How meany dose it take to define and make what it mean's? 1or2? or all that speak of it?

The word's I define are not mine, for how can one own such thought's...if you say you do, well then do you? For the one that speak's of peace first, dose he own it?

For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe. For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom: But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness;

Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
''Cleanliness is half of iman* and (the words) al-Hamdulillah (Praise to God) fills the scale and (the words) Subhanallah wa'l-hamdullilah (Glory be to God, Praise be to God) fill up what is between the heavens and the earth. Prayer is light. Charity is a proof. Endurance is brightness. The Quran is a proof for you or against you. All men go out early in the morning and sell themselves, thereby setting themselves free or destroying themselves."

The above Hadith was reportedon the authority of Abu Malik al-'Ash'ari
* Iman is usually translated as faith. In another hadith, related by Muslim (No.57) Iman is described as 'having more than seventy branches, the highest of which is saying 'La ilah ill Allah' (there is no god but the One God) and the lowest of which is removing a harmful obstacle from the path. And modesty is part of Iman.

Time flies like an arrow, fruit flies like a banana.

Wise men say forgivness is divine but never pay full price for late pizza.

Life is like a box of chocolates: you never know what your gunna get.
