The difficulties of life are intended to make us better, not bitter....

Fortune knocks but once, but misfortune has much more patience.....

There is in every true woman's heart a spark of heavenly fire, which lies dormant in the broad daylight of prosperity; but which kindles up, and beams and blazes in the dark hour of adversity.....

The art of living lies less in eliminating our troubles than in growing with them....

It is foolish to tear one's hair in grief, as though sorrow would be made less by baldness....

I have woven a parachute out of everything broken......

Count the garden by the flowers, never by the leaves that fall.  Count your life with smiles and not the tears that roll......

Never give in... never, never, never, never, in nothing great or small, large or petty, never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense.  Never yield to force... never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy....

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......

The first and highest law must be the love of man to man.  Homo homini Deus est - this is the supreme practical maxim, this is the turning point of the world's History......

Find a need and fill it......

I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catchers mitt on both hands.  You need to be able to throw something back......

Love one another and you will be happy.  It's as simple and as difficult as that.....

A successful marriage requires falling in love many times, always with the same person.....

Grow old with me!  The best is yet to be.....

Love me and the world is mine......

The golden moments in the stream of life rush past us and we see nothing but sand; the angels come to visit us, and we only know them when they are gone.....

Be an angel to someone else whenever you can, as a way of thanking God for the help your angel has given you.....

  


Pay attention to your dreams - God's angels often speak directly to our hearts when we are asleep......

The wings of angels are often found on the backs of the least likely people.....

If trouble hearing Angels song with thine ears, try listening with thy heart.....

Music is well said to be the speech of angels....

When you own your breath, nobody can steal your peace......

A healthy mind has an easy breath.....

Feelings come and go like clouds in a windy sky.....

You know that our breathing is the inhaling and exhaling of air.  The organ that serves for this is the lungs that lie round the heart, so that the air passing through them thereby envelops the heart.  Thus breathing is a natural way to the heart.  And so, having collected your mind within you, lead it into the channel of breathing through which air reaches the heart and, together with this inhaled air, force your mind to descend into the heart and to remain there......

Good things, when short, are twice as good......

The most valuable of all talents is that of never using two words when one will do......

My great-grandfather used to say to his wife, my great-grandmother, who in turn told her daughter, my grandmother, who repeated it to her daughter, my mother, who used to remind her daughter, my own sister, that to talk well and eloquently was a very great art, but that an equally great one was to know the right moment to stop.......


 

If it takes a lot of words to say what you have in mind, give it more thought.....

If you don't like something change it; if you can't change it, change the way you think about it.,,,,,

Time is a dressmaker specializing in alterations.....

The man who never alters his opinion is like standing water, and breeds reptiles of the mind.....
