A Quote by Jim Croce

I was searching all the time for something that I'd never lost or left behind. — © Jim Croce
I was searching all the time for something that I'd never lost or left behind.
And I'm lost behind The words I'll never find And I'm left behind As seasons roll on by
When money is lost, a little is lost. When time is lost, much more is lost. When health is lost, practically everything is lost. And when creative spirit is lost, there is nothing left.
Searching for money, what are you really searching? You are searching power, you are searching strength. Searching for prestige, political authority, what are you searching? You are searching power, strength - and strength is all the time available just by the corner. You are searching in wrong places.
I’ve been searching a long time for something I think I lost. I felt like I found something when I saw you back there.
That's what does it-- that moment where you think you're lost, and then discover that you're not, that you've never really left. There's something that happens in that incredible tiny no-time, and that something is like the revelation of learning.
Everywhere we go and move on and change, something's lost--something's left behind. You can't ever quite repeat anything, and I've been so yours, here--
Time is the most precious gift in our possession, for it is the most irrevocable. This is what makes it so disturbing to look back upon the time which we have lost. Time lost is time when we have not lived a full human life, time unenriched by experience, creative endeavor, enjoyment, and suffering. Time lost is time not filled, time left empty.
When boys and girls go out to play there is always someone left behind, and the boy who is left behind is no use to the girl who is left behind.
Money lost, something lost. Honor lost, much lost. Courage lost, everything lost-better you were never born
While there are plenty of reasons that we lost in 2016, there's at least one that we can definitely fix for next time: We can make sure that no one is left behind in where we go, in who we talk to, in what we say, and in what we do.
So the first thing to be reminded of: love is never a relationship. Then something else is masquerading as love. Maybe you are searching for a husband or a wife - you are searching for some security, you are searching for some structure. A structured life is a murdered life.
What has been attained may again be lost. Only when you realise the true peace, the peace you have never lost, that peace will remain with you for it was never away. Instead of searching for what you do not have, find out what is it that you have never lost. That which is there before the beginning and after the ending of everything, to That there is no birth nor death. That Immovable state, which is not affected by the birth and death of a body or a mind, that state you must perceive.
Never get behind old people. Their bodies are littered with hidden metal and they never seem to appreciate how little time they have left
Instead of searching for what you do not have, find out what it is that you have never lost.
You don't have to compose a masterpiece every time, but I think the challenge of art is always searching for something different, searching for a new sensitivity, a new perspective, a new vision.
I have never had time for the idea of searching. Whenever I wanted to express something, I did so without thinking of the past or the future.
