"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
"Until
one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back,
always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative and creation,
there is one elementary truth the ignorance of which kills countless
ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits
oneself, then providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help
one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of
events issues from the decision, raising in one's favor all manner of
unforeseen
incidents, meetings and material assistance which no
man
could have dreamed would have come his way. Whatever
you can do
or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius,
power and magic in
it. Begin it now."
~ Johann
Wolfgang von Goethe
"Those are a success who have lived well, laughed often, and
loved much; who have gained the respect of intelligent people
and the love of children, who have filled their niche and accomp-
lished their task, who leave the world better than they found it,
whether by a perfect poem or a rescued soul; who never lacked
appreciation of the earth's beauty or failed to express it; who
looked for the best in others and gave the best they had."
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
“There are two ways to look at life. One is as though nothing
is a miracle; the other is as though everything is.”
~ Albert Einstein
"The
life of the individual only has meaning insofar as it aids in
making the life of every living thing nobler and more beautiful.
Life is sacred, that is to say, it is the supreme value to which
all other values are subordinate."
~ Albert Einstein
"I get up. I walk. I fall down.
Meanwhile, I keep dancing."
~ Rabbi Hillel
"Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile,
a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the
smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to
turn a life around."
~ Leo Buscaglia
"The best thing to give to your enemy is forgiveness; to
an opponent, tolerance; to a friend, your heart; to your
child, a good example; to a father, deference; to your
mother, conduct that will make her proud of you; to
yourself, respect; to all men, charity."
~ Francis Maitland Balfour
"From morning till night, sounds drift from the kitchen,
most of them familiar and comforting... On days when
warmth is the most important need of the human heart,
the kitchen is the place you can find it; it dries the wet
sock, it cools the hot little brain."
~ E. B. White
“Christmas Gift Suggestions:

~ Oren Arnold
"This is the true joy in life, the being used by a purpose
recognized
by yourself as a mighty one; the being a force of nature instead of a
feverish selfish clod of ailments and grievances complaining that the
world will
not devote itself to making you happy. I am of the opinion
that my life belongs
to the whole community and as long as I live it
is my privilege to do for it
whatever I can. I want to be thoroughly
used up when I die, for the harder
I work, the more I live. I rejoice
in life for its own sake. Life is no 'brief
candle' to me. It is sort of a
splendid torch which I have a hold of for the
moment, and I want
to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing
it over to
future generations."
~ George Bernard Shaw
Desiderata
"Go placidly amid the noise and haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible without surrender
be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
and listen to others,
even the dull and the ignorant;
they too have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons,
they are vexations to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others,
you may become vain and bitter;
for always there will be greater and lesser
persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.
Keep interested in your own career, however humble;
it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs;
for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;
many persons strive for high ideals;
and everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be yourself.
Especially, do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love;
for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment
it is as perennial as the grass.
Take kindly the counsel of the years,
gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you
in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline,
be gentle with yourself.
You are a child of the universe,
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
Therefore be at peace with God,
whatever you conceive Him to be,
and whatever your labors and aspirations,
in the noisy confusion of life keep
peace with your soul.
With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful.
Strive to be happy."
~ Max Ehrmann, Desiderata, © 1952.
“Kindness is a language which the deaf can hear
and the blind can read.”
~ Mark Twain
"That which you create in beauty and goodness and truth lives
on for all time to come. Don't spend your life accumulating
material objects that will only turn to dust and ashes."
~ Denis Waitley
"The capacity for hope is the most significant fact of life.
It provides human beings with a sense of destination and
the energy to get started."
~ Norman Cousins
“Liberty is slow fruit. It is never cheap; it
is made
difficult because freedom is the accomplishment
and perfectness of man.”
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
"The first step in forgiveness is the willingness to forgive.
If you can state, despite your resistance, your willingness
to see the spiritual innocence, the light in the soul of one
who harmed you, you have begun the journey to a deep
and unshakable peace."
~
Marianne Williamson
"Do not be too quick to condemn the man who no longer
believes in God: for it is perhaps your own coldness and
avarice and mediocrity and materialism and selfishness
that have chilled his faith."
~ Thomas Merton
"When you are in the final days of your life, what will you
want?
... Will you hug that college degree in the walnut frame? Will
you ask to be carried to the garage so you can sit in your car?
Will you find comfort in rereading your financial statement?
Of course not. What will matter then will be people. If
relationships will matter most then, shouldn't they matter
most now?"
~ Max Lucado
"We ought not to be weary of doing little things for the love
of God, who regards not the greatness of the work, but the
love with which it is performed."
~ Brother Lawrence
"With every prayer and every thought of love, we release
the light that will cast out darkness. One light alone seems
small and weak, but no one's light is ever alone, for all our
lights are part of God."
~
Marianne Williamson
