| People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered; Forgive them anyway. If you are kind, People may accuse you of selfish motives; Be kind anyway. If you are successful, You will win some false friends and some true enemies; Succeed anyway. If you are honest and frank, People may cheat you; Be honest and frank anyway. What you spend years building, Someone could destroy overnight; Build anyway. If you find serenity and happiness, They may be jealous; Be happy anyway. The good you do today, People will often forget tomorrow; Do good anyway Give the world the best you have, And it may never be enough; Give the world the best you have anyway. You see, in the final analysis, It is between you and God; It never was between you and them anyway. ~Mother Teresa |

| Timeless Maxims Believing in people usually brings out the best in them. There is always another side; suspend judgment. There is always a solution to every problem. Do not waste time on self-pity. Be considerate. Your actions affect others, and other people's feelings are just like your own. Be kind. Remember that other people are as intuitive as you are, and judge you as you do them. Be sincere. In the long run everyone will find you out and judge you by your true self and not by your pretensions. Snobbishness of any kind is a sign of limitation. Remember that recreation must be to re-create for work. Remember that you must be worthy and capable of love to be able to give or to keep it. Remember that you have a soul just as you have a body and a social self. Do not starve it. |

| Unless we can hear each other singing and crying, unless we can comfort each other's failures and cheer each other's victories, we are missing out on the best that life has to offer. The only real action takes place on the bridge between people. ~Author Unknown |

| The Will of God will never take you to where the Grace of God will not surround you. |
|
| Never compromise a dream. Do what you must. The fears, beasts, and mountains before you are part of the plan. Stepping stones to a promised land. To a time and place that is so much closer than even you expect. So don't let your eyes deceive you, For even as you read these words, your ship swiftly approaches... ~Michael Dooley |

| For attractive lips, speak words of kindness. For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people. For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry. For beautiful hair, let a child run his fingers through it once a day. For poise, walk with the knowledge you'll never walk alone... People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed and redeemed and redeemed. Never throw out anybody. Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you'll find one at the end of your arm. As you grow older you will discover that you have two hands. One for helping yourself, the other for helping others. |

| Peace is not something you wish for; It's something you make, something you do, something you are, and something you give away. |

| HOW TO BE UN-HAPPY ~Make little things bother you. Don't just let them, MAKE them. ~Lose your perspective on things and keep it lost: don't put first things first. ~Get yourself a good worry, one about which you cannot do anything. ~Be a perfectionist, which means not that you work hard to do your best, but that you condemn yourself and others for not achieving perfection. ~Be right. Be always right. Be the only one who is ALWAYS right, and be rigid in your rightness. ~Don't trust or believe people, or accept them at anything but their worst and weakest. Be suspicious. nsist that others always have hidden motives. ~Always compare yourself unfavorably to others. This guarantees instant misery. ~Take personally everything that happens to you. ~Don't give yourself whole-heartedly to anyone or anything. ~Author Unknown |

| To laugh often and love much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson |

| Don't find fault with the man who limps or stumbles along the road, unless you have worn the shoes he wears or struggled beneath his load. There may be tacks in his shoes that hurt, though hidden away from view, or the burden he bears, placed on your back might cause you to stumble too. Don't sneer at the man who's down today unless you have felt the blow that caused his fall or felt the shame that only the fallen know. You may be strong, but still the blows that were his if dealt to you, in the selfsame way, at the selfsame time, might cause you to stagger too. Don't be too harsh with the man who sins or pelt him with word or stone, unless you are sure, yea, doubly sure, that you have no sins of your own - for you know perhaps if the tempter's voice should whisper as softly to you as it did to him when he went astray, it might cause you to stumble too. ~Author Unknown |

| Always know in your heart that you are far bigger than anything that can happen to you. ~Dan Zadra |
|
| To look backward for a while is to refresh the eye, to restore it, and to render it more fit for its prime function of looking forward. ~Margaret Fairless Barber |
| Do all the good you can, By all the means you can, In all the ways you can, In all the places you can, At all the times you can To all the people you can, As long as ever you can. ~John Wesley |

| Two men look out through the same bars: One sees the mud, and one sees the stars. ~Frederick Langbridge |

| What can you do to promote world peace? Go home and love your family. ~Mother Teresa |
|
| 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. ~Leo Tolstoy |
|
| Happiness is not in our circumstances but in ourselves. It is not something we see, like a rainbow, or feel, like the heat of a fire. Happiness is something we are. ~John B. Sheerin |

| Language is a city to the building of which every human being brought a stone. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson |
|
| Some there are who presume so far on their wits that they think themselves capable of measuring the whole nature of things by their intellect, in that they esteem all things true which they see, and false which they see not. Accordingly, in order that man's mind might be freed from this presumption, and seek the truth humbly, it was necessary that certain things far surpassing his intellect should be proposed to man by God. ~Thomas Aquinas |

| Usually, I look at a tree, and I don't see it as my lungs. I look at the rivers, the waters, and I don't see them as my circulation. I look at the atmosphere, I don't see it as my breath. But in fact, it is: The tree is my lungs; the earth is my body; the waters are my circulation. It's not environment; it's your extended body. It's you. |

| Knowing you, colours the seas and sky with a deeper blue. Behold, the beauty of you... |
