signs from the philippines
i cracked up at the signs over there. here are a few that i noted down:
vehicles, please stay off the sidewalk.
sidewalks are for people.
Lung Center of the Philippines
A smoke-free hospital
Walang Tawiran (No crossing [the street])
Nakamamatay (You could die)
Male Urinal
The sign wasn't funny in of itself. But this was located in the middle of the sidewalk off a large highway. Like how we have call boxes by the freeway. It used to be that men would just pee on the walls. Now, they have a sheet metal bent into a U shape with a grate on the ground that goes directly to the sewers that they pee in. You can call it an improvement.

"To try is to risk failure. But risk must be taken because the
greatest hazard of life is to risk nothing. The person who risks
nothing does nothing, has nothing, is nothing. He may avoid
suffering and sorrow, but he simply cannot learn, feel, change,
grow, live, and love."

"live a life that others will remember years from now, NOT because it pointed to you but because of how it pointed to the One who made you."
~ Mark Hart, the Bible Geek
"we grow up learning to become self-reliant, but really we need to be God-reliant"
"we could learn a lot from crayons: some are sharp, some are pretty, some are dull, some have weird names, and all are different colors....but they all exist very nicely in the same box"
"never wound hearts that love u, never give them the endless pain, because wounded hearts are like roses that never bloom"
"there comes a time when we have to stop loving someone not because that person has stopped loving us but because we have found out that they'd be happier if we'd let go"
