A man ninety years old was asked what he attributed his longevity.
“I reckon,” he said, with a twinkle in his eye, it’s because most nights I went to bed
and slept when I should have sat up and worried.”
-Dorothea Kent
The longer I live the more beautiful life becomes.
-Frank Lloyd Wright
Measure wealth not by the things you have,
but by the things you have for which you would not take money.
You may be disappointed if you fail,
but you are doomed if you don’t try.
-Beverly Sills
“We make a living by what we get,
we make a life by what we give.” Winston Churchill
The hardest lesson in life, is to know which bridges to cross and which to burn.
If you ever find happiness by hunting for it, you will find it,
as the old woman did who found her lost spectacles,
safe on her own nose all the time.
A person is constructed by faith: whatever his faith is, so is he.
Hope has two beautiful daughters.
Their names are anger and courage,
anger at the way things are, and courage
to see that they do not remain the way they are.
The art of being wise is the art of knowing what to overlook.
-William James
Hope allows human beings to suffer, daily and eternally.
The 9-year-old girl prayed:
“Dear God, take care of my family, take care of the whole world.
And please, God, take care of yourself or we’re all sunk.”
The slight mispronunciation in the child’s prayer
was still quite applicable. “Give us today our daily breath.”
In his nightly prayer a small boy said,
“Dear God, we had a great time in church today.
I wish you could have been there.”
A young boy in Houston, TX missed his father
who’d been on a long business trip to California.
He began his nightly prayer by saying,
“Our Father, who art in Los Angeles…”
To be seventy years young is sometimes far more cheerful
and hopeful than to be forty years old.
"Life is not the way it's supposed to be. It's the way it is.
The way you cope with it, is what makes the difference."
Everyone thinks of changing the world,
but no one thinks of changing himself.
God does not change what is in people
until they change what is in themselves..
Winners are losers with a new attitude.
Life is what happens to you. Living is what you make happen.
"One of the most lasting pleasures you can experience
is the feeling that comes over you when you genuinely
forgive an enemy – whether he knows about it or not." –A. Battista
"You may forget with whom you laughed,
but you will never forget with whom you wept.
Count your blessing; it may take awhile!
Life may not be the party we had planned for
but while we are here, we might as well dance!
Let us endeavor so to live that when we
come to die even the undertaker will be sorry
- Mark Twain
Our lives begin to end the day we become silent
about things that matter.
"You can’t base your life on other people’s expectations."
"Be great in act, as you have been in thought"
"The manner in which it is given is worth more than the gift."
-Pierre Corneille
"Do not follow where the path may lead.
Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail."
"One of the secrets of life is to make stepping stones
out of stumbling blocks." – Jack Penn
