(1) The most important thing in life is to learn how to give out love, and to let it come in. His voice dropped to a whisper. "Let it come in. We think we dont deserve love, we think
if we let it in we'll become too soft. But a wise man called Levine said it right. Love is the only rational act. (2) Sometimes, in the mornings, that's when i mourn. I feel around my body,
I move my fingers and my hands--whatever I can still move-- and I mourn for what I've lost. I mourn the slow, insidious way in which I am dying. But then, i stop. I give myself a good cry if
i need it. But then I concentrate on all the good things still in my life. YOU. (3) The culture doesnt encourage us to think about regrets until you're about to die. We're so wrapped up with
egotistical things, career, family, having enough money--trillions of little acts just to keep going. We dont have the habit to stand back and look at our lives "Is this all I want?" You need
someone to probe you in that direction. It doesnt happen automatically. I have found my teacher. Have you found yours? (4) Once you learn how to die, you learn how to live. Listen to that bird
on your shoulder, if you accept that you can die at any time, you might not be as ambitious as you are. (5) Love each other or perish. Family-- nothing else can give you spiritual security. Not
money, not fame. (6) Learn to detach. Dont cling to things, because everything is impermanent. Let the experience penetrate you fully. That's how you are able to leave it. If you dont allow yourself
to go all the way through them, you can never get to being detached. You're too busy being afraid, afraid of pain, grief and vulnerability. Throw yourself into these emotions. Dive in, all the way.
Then, you will know what the emotions are, and detach. (7) You have to find what's good and true and beautiful in your life as it is now. Looking back makes you competitive. And age, is not
competitive. How can I be envious of where you are--when I've been there myself? (8) Devote yourself to loving others, devote yourself to your community and people around you, create something
that gives you meaning. Do the kinds of things that come from the heart. When you do, you wont be dissatified, envious and longing for someone else's things. On the contrary, you'll be overwhelmed
with what comes back. (9) Love is how you stay alive, even after you are gone.Think of my voice and I will be there. (10) Respect, compromise and talk openly. Have a common set of values in life with
your partner. (11) The biggest defect we human beings have is our short-sightedness. Invest in the human family. Invest in those you love and who love you. In the beginning of life, when we were infants,
we need others to survive, right? At the end of life, you need others to survive right? (12) Forgive yourself. Forgive others. Tears are okay. Life is a tension of opposites. (13) As long as we can love
each other, and remember, the feeling of love we had, we can die without ever really going away. Death ends a life, not a rlnship. (14) I love you, Coach. He had finally made me cry.

Sagittarius - Symbol of The Archer
SAGITTARIUS AND ARIES
Sagittarius is a perfect temperamental match for Aries. They are both active, spontaneous people who like socializing, have extravagant tastes in common, and enjoy the good life. For this reason there will probably be an instant attraction on the part of these two that could last a very long time, although Aries may doubt the Sagittarians ability to make a success of a long term commitment and in turn, Sagittarius could believe that Aries is ideal as long as Aries accepts the Sagittarians idea of freedom. Arguments can reach the boiling point. Aires's forceful sexual approach is not always playful Sagittarius's style. However, they have wonderful senses of humor and enjoy each other's company. If they make it in the bedroom, they'll make it everywhere else. Being too much alike in moods and temperament will prevent these two from becoming good one on one business partners, but working on a team with other players in their key niches, you will find them as very good friends.
SAGITTARIUS AND TAURUS
The trouble will start when these two fall in love because before that, as good friends Sagittarius would be good for Taurus, teaching Taurus to be more flexible and to broaden the horizons. Taureans hate change in relationships, while Sagittarius will find it hard to sustain a level of affection for any length of time. Sagittarius is an adventurer and loves the outdoors while Taurus is content to pursue indoor activities.On the other hand this might work if Taurus can tie a string to Sagittarius's kite and hold on tight. They are attracted to each other physically, for Taurus's passions are ignited by Sagittarius's uninhibited lovemaking. Sexually, Taurus is expected to be very versatile, for Sagittarius will want to act out his/her fantasies which will appall the Taurean sense of propriety and conservative nature. No dull moments-but a good deal of quarreling. Interesting, but not the best match for marriage.
SAGITTARIUS AND GEMINI
This Fire and Air combination will combust well enough to produce the usual heat. And while it lasts, it can be a lot of fun for both partners. These two are opposites in the zodiac and are attracted to each other like magnets. They'll especially enjoy each other's minds for both have wide-ranging and varied interests. Sagittarius tends to be more intellectual, Gemini more social. Both are too restless and argumentative, and both need freedom. Jealousy by Gemini will play a big role here as Sagittarius can seldom be true. Their sex life will be rewarding and this is practically the only area where you will find compatibility in a love match. In the partnership between these two signs the personality factors in the difference of the two signs, Sagittarius and Gemini, are two widely variant to make for a good partnership. These two will barely be able to stay friends for long. Gemini will want him/her to settle down and take care of business but Sagittarius will be too busy testing out new, and not so great, ideas which would wind up ruining the business.
SAGITTARIUS AND CANCER
Outgoing Sagittarius can open intellectual vistas for imaginative Cancer, but unfortunately Sagittarius won't give Cancer the security in love that it always needs. Sagittarius will expect Cancer to follow along with his/her ideas and very active social life joining in as much fun (Sagittarius' idea of fun!) as possible. On occassions when Cancer has had it and wishes to stay home, put the feet up, and watch television, Sagittarius will try to talk Cancer into accompanying him/her. Should this fail, Sagittarius will go out alone and find 'other' excitement. Sagittarius likes to wander, while Cancer is a stay-at-home. Cancer's commitment to total togetherness only makes Sagittarius desperate to get away. Sexually, Sagittarius is very active, and as a rule Cancer is easily satisfied. This can leave Sagittarius feeling let down and depressed and unfulfilled, which in turn will send him/her searching for a new partner. This is not the best union. Being partners these two will never be able to get on well with each other. Sagittarius being many times more forceful than the Cancerian this business partnership would not have much of a chance in working, because the dominating nature of Sagittarius would soon be running the whole show and leaving Cancer out in the cold.
SAGITTARIUS AND LEO
This makes an excellent combination most of the time. It is said that fire must be fought with fire, and it seems to fit for the marriage of these two signs, with little exceptions. Leo is enthralled by optimistic, extroverted Sagittarius-and fun-loving Sagittarius is enchanted with Leo's sunny openness to life. Together they share a liking for freedom, adventure, and meeting new people. Leo is very proud, but self-confident and expansive Sagittarius is perfectly happy to let Leo strut. If leo does not try to tame this one, and does not condemn and argue over the sexual indescretions that he/she commits, Sagittarius may someday decide that there is no reason to look elsewhere for the satisfaction he/she can find at home. This can be a relationship that has the potiential to be very rewarding with the right combination of the synastry charts. Love can make it work. In business, Sagittarius, a mutable fire sign in the inspirational group would work very well with Leo, a fixed fire sign in the inspirational group. Both of these signs lean toward common sense in a business setting and will be able to retain respect for each others feelings and ideas.
SAGITTARIUS AND VIRGO
These two are like the grasshopper and the ant. Sagittarius's free spirit has nothing in common with hardworking Virgo. Dreaming the impossible dream is normal for Sagittarius who never worries what the bills will be like next month or where the grocery money is coming from, and surprisingly, these dreams do have a way of coming true from time to time which is terribly unsettling for Virgo. Sagittarius has a reckless gambler's spirit, while Virgo carefully builds for future security. Both are intellectual signs but the way their minds work clashes with each other. Sagittarius is expansive and extravagant, while Virgo prefers a simple, ordered, and unpretentious life. Virgo is not a jealous person by nature but with Sagittarius these feelings will be quiet easily aroused since Sagittarius, a great believer in personal freedoms, will find it hard to confine him/her self to the restraints of a faithful relationship as he/she does not think that love means possession. Since Virgo is not one to place too great an emphasis on the sexual side of life and does not have the same appetites that Sagittarians have, Sagittarius may well feel that he or she is justified in finding a new lover from time to time which will cause many fights. In business, because of a general, overall lack of compatibility and empathy these two signs would not make a good partnership. Neither would be willing to relinquish control to the other, and if Sagittarius were needed, chances are he/she would be out doing his/her own thing without a worry in the world about the business.
SAGITTARIUS AND LIBRA
Sagittarius 's philosophy of life may be to much for the free and easy going libra to cope with. However , this is a good marital combination. Libra is stimulated by Sagittarius's eagerness for adventure, and Sagittarius is drawn to Libra's affectionate charm. Both are highly romantic, though this quality is more dominant in Libra. Libra will want to settle down before flighty Sagittarius does, but they can work that out. Charming, clever Libra knows how to appeal to Sagittarius's intellectual side and easily keeps Sagittarius intrigued. The strong attraction that lured them in the beginning is not likely to last as they each prefer a life in constant motion of interacting with others. Sagittarius loves to flatter, and court Libra and makes a good listener which will enable him/her to detect Libras need for stimulation. While it lasts the sexual relations will be satisfying to both but this is more a romance left as an affair and not a lifetime commitment. As a business partnership these two would not work out well even though it is possible for them to become lifelong friends. Neither has a head for finances and each leans to extravagance. They work do well as co-workers in an office environment but not in a business partnership.
SAGITTARIUS AND SCORPIO
Scorpio is dominant by nature, but Scorpio will have trouble keeping their Sagittarian partner under control. Sagittarius thinks the accent should be on fun and new adventure; Scorpio wants security and constant loving. Sagittarius is open, talkative, casual about relationships; Scorpio is reticent, secretive, and very jealous in love. Scorpio wants Sagittarius at home, Sagittarius wants to roam. If Sagittarius gets the impression that he/she is thought of as the exclusive sexual property of Scorpios, and it would be unwise for Scorpio to act as if this is so, that is when he/she begins to kick over the traces and will go bed-hopping. In business; This would also be an unwise business partnership for much the same reasons as outlined above. Sagittarius will be much too busy searching out the excitement in the business and will work at it willingly, unless it becomes a hum drum affair at which time he is likely to lose interest in the whole thing. Scorpio is not as adept at dealing with the public for he is apt to sting those who can help and cultivate those that can harm the business.
SAGITTARIUS AND SAGITTARIUS
If this combination is not on the same intellectual and social plane, there is little hope for this couple to have a long happy relationship. Some astrologers believe the only fit mate for a Sagittarian is another Sagittarian. They do seem perfectly suited: two independent, freedom-loving roamers. But this exciting, chaotic, eventful relationship is too unpredictable to suit either of them. They have a tendency to bring out the worst in each other. Each remains uncommitted and has so many outside interests that this pair inevitably drifts apart. In the bedroom they each have and open mind about sex and anything goes, even an orgy. This relationship will have to be worked at diligently, each trying to make the other feel important and not cause too many wounds to the ego. This is not a likely combination unless both are searching for an open marriage. In business: Sagittarius is an outdoor enthusiast and if the business will give him a chance to be himself then he may make out in a business partnership...but not with the same sign! Everyone cannot do their own thing and expect a business to run itself.
SAGITTARIUS AND CAPRICORN
Unless Sagittarius can clip their wings a bit, there is strong warning against this combination. Capricorn's demands can't be satisfied by Sagittarius's flighty, lighthearted approach to love. Both have high aspirations in life but their approaches are totally different. Capricorn wants to climb to the top of the mountain; Sagittarius wants to fly over the top. Sagittarius's frank outspoken nature is sure to rile Capricorn's sensibilities. Capricorn is restrictive, a loner, known for its dour outlook. Sagittarius may get him/herself up in an enticing manner, expecting some appreciation and sexual entertainment the minute Capricorn walks in, but Capricorn is as apt to just sit down and start in on the work he/she brought home from the office, which will only serve to infuriate Sagittarius. Their sex life is very apt to be frustrating for both parties, although Sagittarius will feel this more keenly than Capricorn. In business this would not make a good partnership as Sagittarius is not apt to settle down and take earning money seriously while Capricorn would be left with all the work. This is not likely to be a situation for the long term and a business would soon bite the dust.
SAGITTARIUS AND AQUARIUS
The combination usually has a great chance for success. These two share a great zest for living and a forward-looking viewpoint. Neither will try to tie down the other. Both seek to explore possibilities to the fullest, and they share an idealism about love and life. Aquarius is innovative. Sagittarius loves to experiment. On the other hand Sagittarius, being a much more hot blooded person than Aquarius and free from most sexual inhibitions, may find the bedroom becoming the battle ground especially when Aquarius is not as responsive as Sagittarius would like and eventually Sagittarius will may seek satisfaction elsewhere. As a business partnership this does not look like a very hopeful match. The Sagittarian would be out chasing rainbows and Aquarius may very well be out there involved in charity work. Neither show any signs of being financial planners or even planning for the future.
SAGITTARIUS AND PISCES
Sagittarius being free and easy will find Pisces too much of a heavy load to haul around. Pisces is drawn to Sagittarius's life-force, and Sagittarius is attracted to Pisces's spirituality. But Sagittarius needs a pal and Pisces needs a dream lover-and neither can help the other. Sagittarius's naturally buoyant spirits are anchored by Pisces's dependency and timidity. Sex is important to the both of them and this factor could bring them together for awhile, but the relationship that is based on the purely physical is not destined to last for long. Both of these signs could be actively seeking a new mate by the time the ink dries on the marriage certificate. It seems that this combination should think very hard before saying "I do". In business: This is not a recommended business partnership as these too signs are much too incompatible to make a go, together, of any kind of enterprise. There would be a lack of respect and labor in this relationship.
