Don't ever discount the wonder of your tears.
They can be healing waters and a stream of joy.
Sometimes they are the best words the heart can speak.
-William P. Young
i don't want to get to the end of my life and find that i just lived
the length of it. I want to have lived the width of it as well.

The most authentic thing about us is our capacity to create, to
overcome, to endure, to transform, to love and to be greater than our
suffering.
-Ben Okri
Finish every day and be done with it. You have done what you could;
some blunders and absurdities no doubt 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.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson

Have regular hours for work and play; make each day both useful and
pleasant, and prove that you understand the worth of time by employing
it well.
Then youth will be delightful, old age will bring few regrets, and
life will become a beautiful success.
-Louisa May Alcott
If you observe a really happy man you will find him building a boat,
writing a symphony, educating his son, growing double dahlias in his
garden or looking for dinosaur eggs in the gobi desert.
He will not be searching for happiness as if it were a collar button
that has rolled under the radiator.
He will not be striving for it as a goal in itself.
He will have become aware that he is happy in the course of living
life twenty-four crowded hours of the day.
-W. Beran Wolfe
A person who has good thoughts cannot ever be ugly.
You can have a wonky nose and a crooked mouth and a double chin and
stick-out teeth,
but if you have good thoughts they will shine out of your face like
sunbeams and you will always look lovely.
-Roald Dahl
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.
-Frederick Koening
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.
-Groucho Marx

The greatest achievements were at first and for a time dreams.
-James Allen
Love is friendship that has caught fire. It is quiet understanding,
mutual confidence, sharing and forgiving.
It is loyalty through good and bad times. It settles for less than
perfection and makes allowances for human weaknesses.
-Ann Landers

If what I say resonates with you, it is merely because we are both
