Some simple yet meaningful quotes...

- Try as much as possible to be wholly alive, with all your might, and when you laugh, laugh like hell and when you get angry, get good and angry. Try to be alive. You will be dead soon enough.

- A loving relationship is one in which the loved one is free to be himself -- to laugh with me, but never at me; to cry with me, but never because of me; to love life, to love himself, to love being loved. Such a relationship is based upon freedom and can never grow in a jealous heart.

- Keep your fears to yourself, but share your courage with others.

- Forgiveness is a funny thing. It warms the heart and cools the sting.

- There is no justification without sanctification, no forgiveness without renewal of life, no real faith from which the fruits of new obedience do not grow.

- Forget about the consequences of failure. Failure is only a temporary change in direction to set you straight for your next success.

- A friend is, as it were, a second self.

- Friendship improves happiness and abates misery, by the doubling of our joy and the dividing of our grief.

- Kind words do not cost much. Yet they accomplish much.

- Don't worry about a thing, every little thing is gonna be alright.

- Be glad of life because it gives you the chance to love and to work and to play and to look up at the stars.

- Remember, always give your best. Never get discouraged. Never be petty. Always remember, others may hate you. But those who hate you don't win unless you hate them. And then you destroy yourself.

- Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.

- Fear less, hope more; eat less, chew more; whine less, breathe more; talk less, say more; hate less, love more; and all good things are yours.

- Without leaps of imagination, or dreaming, we lose the excitement of possibilities. Dreaming, after all, is a form of planning.

- A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.

- Of all days, the day on which one has not laughed is the one most surely wasted.

- A smile starts on the lips, A grin spreads to the eyes, A chuckle comes from the belly; But a good laugh bursts forth from the soul, Overflows, and bubbles all around.
