also be the beginning."

tunneled. No life ever grows until it is focused, dedicated,
disciplined."

the time there is. No object is served in waiting until next
week or even until tomorrow. Keep going day in and day out.
Concentrate on something useful. Having decided to achieve a
task, achieve it at all costs."

" For what does it profit a man if he loses those he loves by gaining the praise of those who would not offer him a roof over his head if he was penniless and destitute "

Anon

"At the end of life we will not be judged by how many diplomas we have received, how much money we have made, how many great things we have done. We will be judged by 'I was hungry, and you gave me something to eat, I was naked and you clothed me. I was homeless, and you took me in.' Hungry not only for bread - but hungry for love. Naked not only for clothing - but naked of human dignity and respect. Homeless not only for want of a home of bricks - but homeless because of rejection. "
~Mother Teresa ~

"Only as high as I reach can I grow,
Only as far as I seek can I go,
Only as deep as I look can I see,
Only as much as I dream can I be."

"Sooner or later we all discover that the important moments
in life are not the advertised ones, not the birthdays, the
graduations, the weddings, not the great goals achieved. The
real milestones are less prepossessing. They come to the door
of memory unannounced, stray dogs that amble in, sniff around
a bit and simply never leave. Our lives are measured by
these."

~ Susan B. Anthony ~


~ Real courage is when you know you're licked before you
begin, but you begin anyway and see it through no matter
what. ~

"To show your true ability is always, in a sense, to surpass the
limits of your ability, to go a little beyond them: to dare, to
seek, to invent; it is at such a moment that new talents are
revealed, discovered, and realized."

~ Simone de Beauvoir


~ Class is the sure-footedness that comes with having proved
you can meet life. ~

And Joy is Everywhere;
It is in the Earth's green
covering of grass;
In the blue serenity of the Sky;
In the reckless
exuberance of Spring;
In the severe abstinence
of gray Winter;
In the Living flesh that
animates our bodily frame;
In the perfect poise of the
Human figure, noble
and upright; In Living;
In the exercise of all our
powers; In the acquisition of
Knowledge; in fighting evils...
Joy is there Everywhere.

by Rabindranath Tagore


"Laughter is the sun that drives winter from the human face."
Víctor Hugo (1802-1885)

"I have long been fascinated by how we humans participate in our
own evolution. Our growth process always seems to be happening
in two directions at the same time: back to who we were
originally -- our true selves; and forward to what we can become
fulfilling that true self."

~ C. Diane Ealy


"Change can either challenge or threaten us...Your beliefs pave
your way to success or block you."

"I think life is really hard sometimes. It's not easy to
wake up every day and go through what you go through.
But the beautiful moments that you share with people that
you love, or even experience alone, are worth all of the
pain and sorrow. Those moments should be cherished,
and I think that's what music is all about - to remind
people of the beautiful moments that are in everybody's
life."

~ Charlie Haden, Grammy Winning Jazz Artist


~ Life is a succession of moments. To live each one is to succeed. ~

~ Corita Kent
(1918-1986, American Artist)

"I think laughter may be a form of courage. As humans we sometimes
stand tall and look into the sun and laugh, and I think we are never
more brave than when we do that."

~ Linda Ellerbee

~ Living in the past is a dull and lonely business; looking back
strains the neck muscles, causes you to bump into people not going your
way. ~

~ Edna Ferber
(1887-1968, American Author)

Oh Misty your quotes leave me blisstly.

"Sow a thought, and you reap an act;
Sow an act, and you reap a habit;
Sow a habit, and you reap a character;
Sow a character, and you reap a destiny."

~ Charles Reade


"Peace is a bear getting along with a salmon.
Peace is saluting the flag before a game.
Peace is a flickering candle of hope.
Peace is people at ease with each other."
