TRUE FRIENDSHIP IS A JOYOUS THING, AND GIVES US HAPPY HOURS. A FRIENDLESS LIFE WOULD BE SO DREAR, LIKE GARDENS WITHOUT FLOWERS GLAD DAYS SAD DAYS ARE ALL BRIGHTER MADE, ,WITH THE HAPPY KNOWLEDGE THAT OUR FRIENDSHIP WILL NOT FADE.
The collector is never finished. You're always looking for anything you don't have that will improve the collection, It's a hobby without end ... for once you decide your collection is complete, you can no longer call yourself a collector.
Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift. That's why it's called the present. Cherish it.
Don't undermine your worth by comparing yourself with
others
It is because we are different that each of us is special
Don't let your goals be what other people deem important
Only you know what's best for you
Don't take for granted the things close to your heart
Cling to them as you would your life!
For without them life is meaningless
Don't let your life slip through your fingers
By living in the past or for the future...
By living your life one day at a time,
You live all the days of your life
Don't give up when you have something to give,
Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying
Don't be afraid to admit that you are less perfect,
It is this fragile thread that binds us to each other,
Don't be afraid to encounter risk,
It is by taking chances that we learn to be brave
Don't shut love out of your life by saying it's impossible to find
The quickest way to receive love, is to give love,
The fastest way to lose love is to hold too tightly
And the best way to keep love is to give it wings
Don't dismiss your dreams
To be without dreams, is to be without hope
To be without hope is to be without purpose
Don't run through life so fast that you forget not only where
you've been but also where you're going
"True friendship
multiplies the good in life and divides its evils. Strive to have friends, for
life without friends is like life on a desert island. To find one real friend in
a lifetime is good fortune; to keep him is a blessing."
Each one of us has the power to make others feel better or worse. Making others
feel better is much more fun than making others feel worse. Making others feel
better generally makes us feel better."
A true friend is one that is there for you when he'd
rather be anywhere else."
LIFE IS NOT A RACE,
BUT A JOURNEY
TO BE SAVOURED EACH STEP OF THE WAY......
True friendship multiplies the good in life and divides its evils. Strive to
have friends, for life without friends is like life on a desert island. To find
one real friend in a lifetime is good fortune; to keep him is a blessing."
Hold fast to dreams, for if dreams die life is a broken winged bird that cannot
fly. Hold fast to dreams for when dreams go, life is a barren field frozen with
snow."
I have learned that success is to be measured not so much by the position that
one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome while trying
to succeed
Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow
There are two days in every week we should not worry about, two days that should
be kept free from fear and apprehension.
One is yesterday, with its mistakes and cares, its faults and blunders, its
aches and pains. Yesterday has passed, forever beyond our control.
All the money in the world cannot bring back yesterday. We cannot undo a single
act we performed. Nor can we erase a single word we've said - yesterday is gone.
The other day we shouldn't worry about is tomorrow, with its impossible
adversaries, its burden, its hopeful promise and poor performance. Tomorrow is
beyond our control.
Tomorrow's sun will rise either in splendor or behind a mask of clouds - but it
will rise. And until it does, we have no stake in tomorrow, for it is yet
unborn.
This leaves only one day - today. Any person can fight the battles of just one
day. It is only when we add the burdens of yesterday and tomorrow that we break
down.
It is not the experience of today that drives people mad - it is the remorse of
bitterness for something that happened yesterday, and the dread of what tomorrow
may bring. Let us, therefore, live one day at a time!
We tell lies when we are afraid, . . . afraid of what we don't know, afraid of
what others will think, afraid of what will be found out about us. But every
time we tell a lie, the thing that we fear grows stronger
I am free, no matter what rules surround me. If I find them tolerable, I
tolerate them; if I find them too obnoxious, I break them. I am free because I
know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do
The greatest pleasure of a dog is that you may make a fool of yourself with him,
and not only will he not scold you, but he will make a fool of himself, too
The Lord prefers common-looking people. That is the reason
he makes so many of them."
After a while you learn the subtle difference between holding a hand
and chaining a soul and you learn that love doesn't mean leaning
and company doesn't always mean security. And you begin to learn
that kisses aren't contracts and presents aren't promises
and you begin to accept your defeats with your head up and your eyes ahead
with the grace of a woman not the grief of a child and you learn
to build all your roads on today because tomorrow's ground is
too uncertain for plans and futures have a way of falling down After a while you
learn
that even sunshine burns if you get too much so you plant your own garden
and decorate your own soul instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers.
And you learn that you really can endure that you really are strong
and you really do have worth and you learn and you learn
with every goodbye you learn.
"Speak when you are angry and you will make the best
speech you will ever regret."
I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't
work
If you are going through hell, keep going." -- Sir Winston
Churchill
After awhile you learn the subtle difference between
holding a hand and chaining a soul, And you learn that love doesn't mean leaning
and company doesn't mean security, And you begin to learn that kisses aren't
contracts and presents aren't promises, And you begin to accept your defeats
with your head up and your eyes open, with the grace of an adult, not the grief
of a child, And you learn to build all your roads on today because tomorrow's
ground is too uncertain for paths. After awhile you learn that even sunshine
burns if you get too much. So plant your garden and decorate your own soul,
instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers. And you learn that you
really can endure... That you really are strong, And you really do have worth."
