Change is part of life and the making of character. You either get bitter or get better.

-From "Reader’s Digest"

Your biggest challenge isn't someone else. It's the ache in your lungs and the burning in your legs, and the voice inside you that yells 'CAN'T", but you don't listen. You just push harder.

Forgiving's a choice you make--a gift you give to somebody even if they don't deserve it. It costs nothing, but it makes you feel rich for giving it away.

-Lurlene McDaniel

Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible without surrender, be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly, and listen to others, even the dull and ignorant; they too have their story...Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is as perennial as the grass. Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be, and whatever your labours and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul. With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world.

Max Ehrmann

Why is it that, as we grow older, we are so relunctant to change? It is not so much that new ideas are painful, for they are not. It is that old ideas are seldom entirely false, but have truth, great truth in them. The justification for conservatism is the desire to preserve the truths and standards of the past; its dangers, of which we are seldom aware, is that in preserving those values, we may miss the infinitely greater riches that lie in the future.

-Sylvia Plath

Far away there in the sunshine are my highest aspirations. I may not reach them, but I can look up and see their beauty, believe in them, and try to follow where they lead.

-Louisa May Alcott

It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly, who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement; and who at the worst, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

-Theodore Roosevelt

Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up. It knows it must outrun the fastest lion or it will be killed. Every morning in Africa, a lion wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the slowest gazelle, or it will starve. It doesn't matter whether you are a lion or a gazelle - when the sun comes up, you'd better be running.

-Unknown

Our doubts are traitors and make us lose the good we oft might win, by fearing to attempt.

-William Shakespeare

If a man is called to be a streetsweeper, he should sweep streets even as Michelangelo painted, or Beethoven played music, or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say, here lived a great streetsweeper who did his job well.

-Martin Luther King, Jr.

I guess nobody ever really does mean to fall in love. But it happens, and love brands itself on your brain. It's like a new street appearing overnight in the city you've lived in your whole life. The street is one way-you can't turn around and get off it-and it curves up ahead so that you can only see far enough to know that you're heading into the unknown.

-Unknown

Put away the book, the description, the tradition, the authority, and take the journey of self-discovery. Love, and don't be caught in opinions and ideas about what love is or should be. When you love, everything will come right. Love has its own action. Love, and you will know the blessings of it. Keep away from the authority who tells you what love is and what it is not. No authority knows and he who knows cannot tell. Love, and there is understanding.

-Krishnamurti

Love is blind deaf dumb and stupid. And if I ever find that little turd, I'm gonna kill cupid once and for all.

-Unknown

Love is a special feeling. You can't explain it. Sometimes you can't even understand it. But it is there. So quit makin it sooooooo complicated. And just enjoy it.

-Unknown

And all people live, not by reason of any care they have for themselves, but by the love for them that is in other people. Love and you will be loved, and you will be able to do all that you could not do unloved.

-Unknown

I love you, not for what you are, but for what I am when I am with you.

-Roy Croft

Love is life. All, everything that I understand, I understand only because I love.

-Leo Tolstoy

You will find, as you look back upon your life, that the moments when you really lived are the moments when you have done things in the spirit of love.

-Henry Drummond

When it comes down to it, we all just want to be loved.

-Jamie Yellin

There are mysteries about our love. Things that neither one of us may ever understand because love is an emotion without limit and understanding. We know we love each other but we could never explain completely as WHY we love each other. Love is not a clock. You simply cannot take it apart just to see what makes it tick, and even if you could, you probably could never get it back together again.

-Unknown

Do you want me to tell you something really subversive? Love is everything it's cracked up to be. That's why people are so cynical about it.It really is worth fighting for, being brave for, risking everything for. And the trouble is, if you don't risk everything, you risk even more.

-Erica Jong

Hate has a reason for everything, but love is unreasonable.

-Unknown

True love doesn't consist of holding hands, it consists of holding hearts.

-O.A. Battista

Well, yes, in it's own way...you might say love is the most powerful force in the universe.

-Merlin in "The Sword and the Stone"

The world is indeed full of peril, and in it there are many dark places; but still there is much that is fair, and though in all lands love is mingled with grief, love grows perhaps the greater.

-From The "Fellowship of the Ring" by J. R. R. Tolkien

I am of nothing special; of this I am sure. I am a common man with common thoughts, and I've led a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten, but I've loved another with all my heart and soul, and to me, this has always been enough.

-Nicholas Sparks

Though no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new end.

-Carl Bard

Friendship improves happiness, and abates misery, by doubling our joys, and dividing our grief.

-Joseph Addison

Happiness is a butterfly which, when pursued, is always beyond our grasp, but, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you.

If your gonna win, win graceful
If your gonna love, love faithful
If your gonna learn, learn by teaching
If your gonna fall, fall reaching.

What man is a success who has lived well,
Laughed often and loved much;
Who has gained the respect of intelligent men and the love of children;
Who has filled his niche and accomplished his task;
Who leaves the world better than he found it,
Whether by a perfect poem or a rescued soul;
Who never lacked appreciation of earth's beauty or failed to express it;
Who looked for the best in others and gave the best he had.

-Robert Louis Stevenson

DEEP THOUGHTS

If you go to a costume party at your boss's house, wouldn't you think a good costume would be to dress up like the boss's wife? Trust me, it's not.

To me, it's a good idea to always carry two sacks of something when you walk around. That way, if anybody says, "Hey, can you give me a hand?" You can say, "Sorry, got these sacks."

If a kid asks where rain comes from, I think a cute thing to tell him is, "God is crying." And if he asks why God is crying, another cute thing to tell him is, "Probably because of something you did."

If you ever catch on fire, try to avoid seeing yourself in the mirror, because I bet that's what REALLY throws you into a panic.

Whenever I see an old lady slip and fall on a wet sidewalk, my first instinct is to laugh. But then I think, what if I was an ant and she fell on me. Then it wouldn't seem quite so funny.

I wish I would have a real tragic love affair and get so bummed out that I'd just quit my job and become a bum for a few years, because I was thinking about doing that anyway.

What is it about a beautiful sunny afternoon, with the birds singing and the wind rustling through the leaves, that makes you want to get drunk? And after you're real drunk, maybe go down to the public park andstagger around and ask people for money, and then lay down and go to sleep.

If I ever get real rich, I hope I'm not real mean to poor people, like I am now.

Here's a good thing to do if you go to a party and you don't know anybody: First take out the garbage. Then go around and collect any extra garbage that people might have, like a crumpled napkin, and take that out too. Pretty soon people will want to meet the busy garbage guy.
