The greatest weakness of most humans including me is..
Their hesitancy to tell others ..
How MUCH,
They love them..
While they're still there..

Each day is a new canvas to paint upon..
Make sure your picture is full of life and happiness!
And,
At the end of the day..
You don't look at it and wish you had painted something different..

Each morning when I open my eyes I say to myself:
I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today.
I can choose which it shall be.
Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet.
I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it.

I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge -- myth is more potent than history -- dreams are more powerful than facts -- hope always triumphs over experience -- laughter is the cure for grief -- love is stronger than death.
If you obey all the rules, you miss all the fun.
If you want to know the past, to know what has caused you, look at yourself in the PRESENT, for that is the past's effect. If you want to know your future, then look at yourself in the PRESENT, for that is the cause of the future.
Kind words do not cost much. They never blister the tongue or lips. They make other people good-natured. They also produce their own image on men's souls, and a beautiful image it is.
Never give up on something that you can't go a day without thinking about.
One of the most tragic things I know about human nature is that all of us tend to put off living. We are all dreaming of some magical rose garden over the horizon-instead of enjoying the roses blooming outside our windows today.
You have done what you could..
Some blunders and absurdities have crept in,
FORGET them as soon as you can..
Tomorrow is a new day..
You shall begin it serenely
And
With too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense..

The grand essentials of happiness are: something to do, something to love, and something to hope for.
The greatest weakness of most humans including me is, their hesitancy to tell others how much they love them while they're still there.

We tend to forget that happiness doesn't come as a result of getting something we don't have, but rather of recognizing and appreciating what we do have.

When you plant lettuce, if it does not grow well, you don't blame the lettuce. You look for reasons it is not doing well. It may need fertilizer, or more water, or less sun. You never blame the lettuce. Yet if we have problems with our friends or family, we blame the other person. But if we know how to take care of them, they will grow well, like the lettuce. Blaming has no positive effect at all, nor does trying to persuade using reason and arguments. That is my experience. No blame, no reasoning, no argument, just understanding.
A lot of people say they want to get out of pain, and I'm sure that's true, but they aren't willing to make healing a high priority. They aren't willing to look inside to see the source of their pain in order to deal with it.
Somewhere there's someone who dreams of your smile, And finds in your presence that life is worth while, So when you are lonely, remember it's true: Somebody, somewhere is thinking of you
Cherish your yesterdays, Dream your tomorrows, Live your todays.
God never closes a door without opening a window. He always gives us something better when he takes something away.
We have no right to ask when sorrow comes, “Why did this happen to me?“ unless we ask the same question for every moment of happiness that comes our way.
What's a smile? A smile is when someone special leaks into your mind and through your heart and into your mouth. That's is what I call a smile.
Watch your thoughts, they become your words. Watch your words, they become your actions. Watch your actions, they become a way of life. Watch your way of life, it becomes destiny.
Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.
Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Some stay for awhile and leave footprints on our hearts. And we are never, ever the same
Friendship doubles our joys and divides our sorrows.
We all take different paths in life, but no matter where we go, we take a little of each other everywhere
A smile is the lighting system of the face and the heating system of the heart.
Do not wait; the time will never be "just right". Start where you stand, and work with whatever tools you may have at your command, and better tools will be found as you go along.
