You start making progress in life when you realize that you don't always have to resume where you left off.
Robert Brault

Happiness is a butterfly, which when pursued,
is always just beyond your grasp, but which,
if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you.
Nathaniel Hawthorne

Spend the afternoon. You can't take it with you.
Annie Dillard

I will love the light for it shows me the way,
yet I will endure the darkness because it shows me the stars.
Og Mandino

Write it on your heart that every day is the best day of the year
Ralph Waldo Emerson

You can discover more about a person in an hour of play than in a year of conversation
Plato

Some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle, and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next. Delicious ambiguity...
Gilda Radner

Friendship is when people know all about you but like you anyway.
Anonymous

Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice Wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.
Mary Anne Radmacher

In the middle of difficulty, lies opportunity.
Albert Einstein

 Be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and stars. In the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul.
Max Ehrmann

Living is not enough... One must have sunshine, freedom, and a little flower.
Hans Christian Anderson

People are unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered. Love them anyway.
If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives. Do good anyway.
If you are successful you win false friends and true enemies. Succeed anyway.
Honesty and frankness makes you vulnerable. Be honest and frank anyway.
People really need help but may attack you if you help them. Help them anyway.
Give the world the best you have and you'll get kicked in the teeth. Give the world the best you've got anyway.

Mother Theresa, from Shishu Bhavan, the children's home in Calcutta
