What if you gave someone a gift, and they neglected to thank you for it...would you be likely to give them another? Life is the same way. In order to attract more of the blessings that life has to offer, you must truly appreciate what you already have.
- Ralph Marston
What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.

What you hear, see and read will determine your destiny. You're the same person today that you'll be five years from now, except for the people you meet and the books you read.
When I hear somebody sigh, "Life is hard," I am always tempted to ask, "Compared to what?"
- Sydney Harris
When I was a boy, I was told that anybody could become president; I'm beginning to believe it.
- Clarence Darrow
When I was young, I admired clever people. Now that I am old, I admire kind people.

When in doubt, tell the truth.
- Mark Twain
When it's all over, it's not who you were...it's whether you made a difference.

When we are unable to find tranquility within ourselves, it is useless to seek it elsewhere.
- Francois de La Rochefoucauld
When we come face to face with God, we are going to be judged on how much we loved.
- Mother Teresa
When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives mean the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand. The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing and face with us the reality of our powerlessness, that is a friend who cares.
- Henri Nouwen
When we lose one blessing, another is often, most unexpectedly, given in its place.

When wealth is lost, nothing is lost; when health is lost, something is lost; when character is lost, all is lost.

When you cannot trust God, you cannot trust anything; and when you cannot trust anything, you get the condition of the world as it is today.
- Basil King
When you help someone up a hill, you get that much closer to the top yourself.
When you were born, you cried and the world rejoiced. Live your life in such a way that when you die, the world will cry and you will rejoice.
Whenever you start - give it your best. The opportunities are there to be anything you want to be. But wanting to be someone isn't enough; dreaming about it isn't enough; thinking about it isn't enough. You've got to study for it, work for it, fight for it with all your heart and soul, because nobody is going to hand it to you.
- Gen. Colin Powell |
