-- Sam Walton
"Life is too short, make the most of yours today."
-- C Pulsifer
"You may not be a Picasso or Mozart but you don't have to be.

Create to learn a bit more about yourself."
-- Frederick Terral
"Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have
into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos
to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a
feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend.
Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and
creates a vision for tomorrow."
-- Melody Beattie
"It is common sense to take a method and try it. If it fails,

of feeling like a fool."
-- Alina Tugend
"The best years of your life are the ones in which you decide

control your own destiny."

"Life moves on, whether we act as cowards or heroes.
Everything we shut our eyes to, everything we run away from,
everything we deny, denigrate, or despise, serves to defeat us
in the end. What seems nasty, painful, or evil can become a
source of beauty, joy and strength, if faced with an open
mind. Every moment is a golden one for him who has the vision
to recognize it as such."
-- Henry Miller
"Life can be like a roller coaster. And just when you think
you've had enough, and you're ready to get off the ride and
take the calm, easy merry-go round, you change your mind, throw
your hands in the air and ride the roller coaster all over
again. That's exhilaration... that's living a bit on the
edge... that's being alive."
-- Stacey Charter

-- Duke Ellington

Much wisdom is learnt through tears, but none by forgetting
our lessons."
-- Maria Amparo Ruiz de Burton
"When a person becomes crystal clear as to exactly what they
want to accomplish, and focuses their time and energy on this
one goal, any person can move mountains."
-- Jimmy Sweeney
"Make a pact with yourself today to not be defined by your
past. Sometimes the greatest thing to come out of all your
hard work isn't what you get for it, but what you become for
it. Shake things up today! Be You... Be Free... Share."
-- Steve Maraboli
"We should regret our mistakes and learn from them, but never
carry them forward into the future with us."
-- L.M. Montgomery

Of what is the spirit made? What is worth living for, and what
is worth dying for? The answer to each is the same. Only
love."
