  • #11
    Charles Bukowski
    “unaccountably we are alone
    forever alone
    and it was meant to be
    that way,
    it was never meant
    to be any other way–
    and when the death struggle
    begins
    the last thing I wish to see
    is
    a ring of human faces
    hovering over me–
    better just my old friends,
    the walls of my self,
    let only them be there.

    I have been alone but seldom
    lonely.
    I have satisfied my thirst
    at the well
    of my self
    and that wine was good,
    the best I ever had,
    and tonight
    sitting
    staring into the dark
    I now finally understand
    the dark and the
    light and everything
    in between.

    peace of mind and heart
    arrives
    when we accept what
    is:
    having been
    born into this
    strange life
    we must accept
    the wasted gamble of our
    days
    and take some satisfaction in
    the pleasure of
    leaving it all
    behind.

    cry not for me.

    grieve not for me.

    read
    what I’ve written
    then
    forget it
    all.

    drink from the well
    of your self
    and begin
    again.

    Mind and Heart”
    Charles Bukowski, Come On In!: New Poems

  • #12
    Charles Bukowski
    “I lapsed into my pathetic cut-off period. Often with humans, both good and bad, my senses simply shut off, they get tired, I give up. I am polite. I nod. I pretend to understand because I don’t want anybody to be hurt. That is the one weakness that has lead me into the most trouble. Trying to be kind to others I often get my soul shredded into a kind of spiritual pasta.
    No matter. My brain shuts off. I listen. I respond. And they are too dumb to know that I am not there.”
    Charles Bukowski, Hollywood

  • #13
    Charles Bukowski
    “the best part was
    pulling down the
    shades
    stuffing the doorbell
    with rags
    putting the phone
    in the
    refrigerator
    and going to bed
    for 3 or 4
    days.
    and the next best
    part
    was
    nobody ever
    missed
    me.”
    Charles Bukowski, You Get So Alone at Times That it Just Makes Sense

  • #14
    Charles Bukowski
    “I wasn’t going anywhere and neither was the rest of the world. We were all just hanging around waiting to die and meanwhile doing little things to fill the space. Some of use weren’t even doing little things. We were vegetables.”
    Charles Bukowski

  • #15
    Charles Bukowski
    “all theories
    like cliches
    shot to hell,
    all these small faces
    looking up
    beautiful and believing;
    I wish to weep
    but sorrow is
    stupid.
    I wish to believe but believe is a
    graveyard.
    we have narrowed it down to
    the butcherknife and the
    mockingbird
    wish us
    luck.”
    Charles Bukowski, What Matters Most is How Well You Walk Through the Fire

  • #19
    Charles Bukowski
    “during my worst times
    on the park benches
    in the jails
    or living with
    whores
    I always had this certain
    contentment-
    I wouldn't call it
    happiness-
    it was more of an inner
    balance
    that settled for
    whatever was occuring
    and it helped in the
    factories
    and when relationships
    went wrong
    with the
    girls.
    it helped
    through the
    wars and the
    hangovers
    the backalley fights
    the
    hospitals.
    to awaken in a cheap room
    in a strange city and
    pull up the shade-
    this was the craziest kind of
    contentment

    and to walk across the floor
    to an old dresser with a
    cracked mirror-
    see myself, ugly,
    grinning at it all.
    what matters most is
    how well you
    walk through the
    fire.”
    Charles Bukowski

    Napoleon Hill
    “The starting point of all achievement is DESIRE. Keep this constantly in mind. Weak desire brings weak results, just as a small fire makes a small amount of heat.”
    Napoleon Hill, Think and Grow Rich

  • #21
    Napoleon Hill
    “When defeat comes, accept it as a signal that your plans are not sound, rebuild those plans, and set sail once more toward your coveted goal.”
    Napoleon Hill, Think and Grow Rich

  • #22
    Napoleon Hill
    “You are the master of your destiny. You can influence, direct and control your own environment. You can make your life what you want it to be.”
    Napoleon Hill, Think and Grow Rich

  • #23
    Napoleon Hill
    “Before success comes in any man’s life, he is sure to meet with much temporary defeat, and, perhaps, some failure. When defeat overtakes a man, the easiest and most logical thing to do is to quit. That is exactly what the majority of men do. More than five hundred of the most successful men this country has ever known told the author their greatest success came just one step beyond the point at which defeat had overtaken them.”
    Napoleon Hill, Think and Grow Rich

  • #24
    Napoleon Hill
    “An educated man is not, necessarily, one who has an abundance of general or specialized knowledge. An educated man is one who has so developed the faculties of his mind that he may acquire anything he wants, or its equivalent, without violating the rights of others.”
    Napoleon Hill, Think and Grow Rich

  • #25
    Napoleon Hill
    “Every adversity, every failure, every heartbreak, carries with it the seed of an equal or greater benefit.”
    Napoleon Hill, Think and Grow Rich

  • #26
    Napoleon Hill
    “I will eliminate hatred, envy, jealousy, selfishness, and cynicism, by developing love for all humanity, because I know that a negative attitude toward others can never bring me success. I will cause others to believe in me, because I will believe in them, and in myself.”
    Napoleon Hill, Think and Grow Rich

  • #27
    Napoleon Hill
    “Put your foot upon the neck of the fear of criticism by reaching a decision not to worry about what other people think, do, or say.”
    Napoleon Hill, Think and Grow Rich

  • #28
    Napoleon Hill
    “There is a difference between WISHING for a thing and being READY to receive it. No one is ready for a thing, until he believes he can acquire it. The state of mind must be BELIEF, not mere hope or wish. Open-mindedness is essential for belief.”
    Napoleon Hill, Think and Grow Rich

  • #29
    Napoleon Hill
    “One who has loved truly, can never lose entirely. Love is whimsical and temperamental. Its nature is ephemeral, and transitory. It comes when it pleases,and goes away without warning. Accept and enjoy it while it remains, but spend no time worrying about its departure. Worry will never bring it back.”
    Napoleon Hill, Think and Grow Rich

  • #30
    Napoleon Hill
    “Perhaps we shall learn, as we pass through this age, that the 'other self" is more powerful than the physical self we see when we look into a mirror.”
    Napoleon Hill, Think and Grow Rich
