Excuses are the nails used to build a house of failure.....

The only man who is really free is the one who can turn down an invitation to dinner without giving an excuse. .....

He who excuses himself accuses himself.....

Maybe you don't like your job, maybe you didn't get enough sleep, well nobody likes their job, nobody got enough sleep.  Maybe you just had the worst day of your life, but you know, there's no escape, there's no excuse, so just suck up and be nice....

Hold yourself responsible for a higher standard than anyone else expects of you.  Never excuse yourself....

If you don't want to do something, one excuse is as good as another.....

Every vice has its excuse ready......

It is wise to direct your anger towards problems - not people, to focus your energies on answer....

Spread your wings and let the fairy in you fly.....!  

There are mystically in our faces certain characters which carry in them the motto of our souls, wherein he that cannot read A, B, C may read our natures......

 I've never seen a smiling face that was not beautiful.....

Some people, no matter how old they get, never lose their beauty - they merely move it from their faces into their hearts.....

An eye can threaten like a loaded and levelled gun, or it can insult like hissing or kicking; or, in its altered mood, by beams of kindness, it can make the heart dance for joy.... One of the most wonderful things in nature is a glance of the eye; it transcends speech; it is the bodily symbol of identity.....

Laughter is the sun that drives winter from the human face.....

It is the common wonder of all men, how among so many millions of faces, there should be none alike....

God has given you one face, and you make yourself another.....

The face is more honest than the mouth will ever be.....

I think your whole life shows in your face and you should be proud of that.,,,,

After a certain number of years, our faces become our biographies.....

Life is like a game of cards.  The hand you are dealt is determinism; the way you play it is free will......

Failure and success seem to have been allotted to men by their stars.  But they retain the power of wriggling, of fighting with their star or against it, and in the whole universe the only really interesting movement is this wriggle.....

If fate means you to lose, give him a good fight anyhow. ....

He that is born to be hanged shall never be drowned. ....

A door that seems to stand open must be a man's size, or it is not the door that Providence means for him....

 A person often meets his destiny on the road he took to avoid it.....

The last I heard from my destiny, it wanted me to make a legal U-Turn at my next opportunity.....

You know that saying, that when God closes a door he opens a window, well, sometimes out of nowhere he'll do you one better and he'll kick a whole wall down.....

There is an unseen life that dreams us.  It knows our true direction and destiny.  We can trust ourselves more than we realize and we need have no fear of change......

Again, you can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards.  So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future.  You have to trust in something - your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever.  This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.....

It is sad when two people turn from the paths they're traveling, and their paths go on to cross without them....

Fate is like a strange, unpopular restaurant, filled with odd waiters who bring you things you never asked for and don't always like.....

Our destiny hides among our free choices, disguised as the free-est of all.....

You are fate's shadow or fate's sun, depending on which way you turn....

Sometimes fate brings two people together by causing one to misinterpret a smile.....

The most tangible of all visible mysteries - fire.....

Women flirt to keep their stock high, men to get somewhere.....

The greatest miracle of love is the cure of coquetry....

Why does a man take it for granted that a girl who flirts with him wants him to kiss her - when, nine times out of ten, she only wants him to want to kiss her....? 

Beauty is power; a smile is its sword......

 



Coquetry whets the appetite; flirtation depraves it.  Coquetry is the thorn that guards the rose - easily trimmed off when once plucked.  Flirtation is like the slime on water-plants, making them hard to handle, and when caught, only to be cherished in slimy waters......

Earth laughs in flowers....

I'd rather have roses on my table than diamonds on my neck....

Flowers... are a proud assertion that a ray of beauty outvalues all the utilities of the world.....

When you have only two pennies left in the world, buy a loaf of bread with one, and a lily with the other....

Nothing is more difficult, and therefore more precious, than to be able to decide.....

A good friend is cheaper than therapy. ....

The most I can do for my friend is simply be his friend.....

 



A true friend never gets in your way unless you happen to be going down. ....
