Press on: Nothing can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are overwhelmingly powerful. Never let a problem to be solved become more important than a person to be loved. ~ Barbara Johnson Happiness is different from pleasure. Happiness has something to do with struggling and enduring and accomplishing. ~George Sheehan Money and success don't change people; they merely amplify what's already there. ~Will Smith Treat a person as he is, and he will remain as he is. Treat him as he could be, and he will become what he should be. ~Jimmy Johnson The most important trip you may take in life is meeting people half way. ~Henry Boye A child is not spoiled by giving him whatever he wants so much as by giving him substitutes for what he really wants -- attention, interest and understanding. ~North American Syndicate. Five thousand years ago what I am saying was right. In five thousand years what I am saying will still be right: cleanliness, honesty, decency, respect for other people, politeness, good manners, integrity -- they will never be old fashioned. ~Lord Charles Forte The task ahead of us is never as great as the power behind us. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson Don't belittle.... be BIG!! Anger makes you smaller, while forgiveness
forces you to grow beyond what you were. ~Cherie Carter-Scott If you are patient in one moment of anger, you will escape a hundred days of sorrow. ~Chinese Proverb He who angers you controls you. ~Elizabeth
Kenny Those who are at war with others are seldom at peace with themselves. Don't hold on to anger, hurt, or pain. They
steal your energy and keep you from love. ~Leo Buscaglia A true friend is someone who reaches for your
hand and touches your heart. Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one, so that when we finally meet the right person, we will know how to be grateful. People need loving the most when they deserve it the least. ~John Harrigan Love is the master key that opens the gates of happiness. ~Oliver Wendell Holmes If you bungle raising your children, I don't think whatever else you do well matters very much. ~Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis If you can't hold children in your arms, please hold then in your heart. ~Mother Clara Hale Mothers of little boys work from son up til son down. A little cup of friendship in this cup of tea, when you sit and drink this, think of love from me. The beginning of love is to let those we love be perfectly themselves, and not twist them with our own image - otherwise, we love only our own reflection of ourselves that we find in them. If you judge people, you have no time to love them. ~Mother Teresa Success: To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a little better than we found it, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life breathed easier because you lived. This is to have succeeded. The will of God will never leave lead you where the grace of God cannot keep you. God will never tell me to do something He hasn't prepared me for. "Music is the magic that binds all people together, if only for a moment, washing away the barriers of color, culture, and ego.. " Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from indomitable will. ~Mahatma Ghandi The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched, they must be felt with the heart. ~Helen Kellar Age does not protect you from love, but love to some extent protects you from age. ~Jeanne Moreau It takes a long time to grow an old friend. You must be the change you wish to see in the world. ~Mahatma Ghandi Even in the darkness there is always a hope of light. Just listen to what your heart says and God will make everything alright. God sometimes does try to the uttermost those whom He wishes to bless. ~Mahatma Ghandi The most destructive element in the human mind is fear. Fear creates aggressiveness; aggressiveness engenders hostility; hostility engenders fear -- a disastrous circle. ~Dorothy Thompson There's no labor a man can do that's undignified, if he does it right. ~Bill Cosby Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much. ~Oscar Wilde If we could sell our experiences for what they cost us, we would all be millionaires. ~Abigail Van Buren Nothing is so exhausting as indecision, and nothing is so futile. ~Bertrand Russell You have not lived a perfect day, even though you earned your money, unless you have done something for someone who will never be able to repay you. ~Ruth Smeltzer Life is a compromise of what your ego tells you to do, experience tells you to do, and what your nerves let you do. ~Bruce Crampton Fools look to tomorrow; wise men use tonight. ~Scottish Proverb We only do well the things we like doing. ~Colette Love teaches even asses to dance. ~French Proverb Imagination is more important than knowledge. ~Albert Einstein When you were born, you cried
and the world rejoiced. Live your life so that when you die, you rejoice
and the world cries. ~Cherokee Proverb Choose your friends by
their character and your socks by their color. Choosing your socks by
their character makes no sense, and choosing your friends by their color
is unthinkable. ~Anonymous There's no point in being grown up if you can't be childish sometimes. ~Doctor Who I am careful not to confuse excellence with perfection. Excellence, I can reach for; perfection is God's business. ~Michael J. Fox When you are content to be simply yourself and don't compare or compete, everybody will respect you. ~Lao-Tzu You don't stop laughing because you grow old. You grow old because you stop laughing. Until one has
loved an animal, a part of one's soul remains unawakened. —Anatole
France
Nobody can make you feel inferior without your permission. ~Eleanor Roosevelt To love a person is to learn the song in their heart, and to sing it to them when they have forgotten. ~Anonymous The roots of true achievement lie in the will to become the best that you can become. ~Harold Taylor A single drop of potent poison can render a well
of pure water deadly. Do not get angry with those who harm you. I wrote your name on a piece of paper, but by
accident I threw it away I wrote your name on my hand, but it washed
away. I wrote your name in the sand, but the waves whispered it away. I
wrote your name in my heart, and forever it will stay. Being a
Christian is like being a pumpkin. God lifts you up, takes
you in, and washes all the dirt off of you. He opens you up,
touches you deep inside and scoops out all the yucky stuff-- including
the seeds of doubt, hate, greed, etc. Then He
carves you a new smiling face and puts His light inside you to shine for
all the world to see. Don't
criticize them; they are just what we would be under similar
circumstances. ~Abe Lincoln |
