Never look down on anybody unless you're helping him up....

A good character is the best tombstone.  Those who loved you and were helped by you will remember you when forget-me-nots have withered.  Carve your name on hearts, not on marble.....

 It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice....

 



 Today, give a stranger one of your smiles.  It might be the only sunshine he sees all day.....

Treat everyone with politeness, even those who are rude to you - not because they are nice, but because you are.....

What this world needs is a new kind of army - the army of the kind.....

There is no greater loan than a sympathetic ear.....

 Never miss an opportunity to make others happy, even if you have to leave them alone in order to do it...

 Kindness is the language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see......

Wherever there is a human being, there is an opportunity for a kindness.....

 A kind word is like a Spring day...

The most important trip you may take in life is meeting people halfway......

You can't live a perfect day without doing something for someone who will never be able to repay you....

Kindness, like a boomerang, always returns......

 We have two ears and one mouth so that we can listen twice as much as we speak.....

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....

A bit of fragrance always clings to the hand that gives roses......

Make it a practice to judge persons and things in the most favorable light at all times and under all circumstances.....

Remember that everyone you meet is afraid of something, loves something and has lost something....

A person who is nice to you, but rude to the waiter, is not a nice person.......

  


Life is short but there is always time for courtesy......

One problem with gazing too frequently into the past is that we may turn around to find the future has run out on us.....

There is no distance on this earth as far away as yesterday......

You can clutch the past so tightly to your chest that it leaves your arms too full to embrace the present...

Do not let your shadow walk you.  You are not a slave of the past.....

No man is rich enough to buy back his past.....

We seem to be going through a period of nostalgia, and everyone seems to think yesterday was better than today.  I don't think it was, and I would advise you not to wait ten years before admitting today was great.  If you're hung up on nostalgia, pretend today is yesterday and just go out and have one hell of a time.....

 


Don't let yesterday use up too much of today.....

In the carriages of the past you can't go anywhere......

The past is never there when you try to go back.  It exists, but only in memory.  To pretend otherwise is to invite a mess......

Waste not fresh tears over old griefs.....

No yesterdays are ever wasted for those who give themselves to today.....

The memories you have are just recordings of things past, not chains to bind you......

We can easily manage if we will only take, each day, the burden appointed to it.  But the load will be too heavy for us if we carry yesterday's burden over again today, and then add the burden of the morrow before we are required to bear it.....

 Stay on top of your past so you can have a better view of your future....

Our past is like a footprint. It only confirms we were there. No burden on our future does it bear. Bring the rain, clear the pane of clutter......

Take your eyes off what you lost...............

Eternity is not something that begins after you are dead.  It is going on all the time.....
