Quotations on Quotations
To be amused by what you read - that is the great spring of happy quotations. C. E. Montague
I love quotations because it is a joy to find thoughts one might have, beautifully expressed with much authority by someone recognised wiser than oneself. Marlene Dietrich
Nelson Mandela
For to be free is not merely to cast off one's chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others.
Bob Dylan
May God bless and keep you always, may your wishes all come true, may you always do for others and let others do for you; may you build a ladder to the stars and climb on every rung, may you stay forever young.
May you grow up to be righteous, may you grow up to be true, may you always know the truth and see the lights surrounding you; may you always be courageous, stand upright and be strong, may you stay forever young.
May your hands always be busy, may your feet always be swift, may you have a strong foundation when the winds of changes shift; may your heart always be joyful, may your song always be sung, may you stay forever young.
Leo Buscaglia
A single rose can be my garden; a single friend, my world.
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.
Happiness and love are just a choice away.
The easiest thing to be in the world is you. The most difficult thing to be is what other people want you to be. Don't let them put you in that position.
What we call the secret of happiness is no more a secret than our willingness to choose life.
It is difficult for some people to accept that love is a choice. This seems to run counter to the generally accepted theory of romantic love which expounds that love is inborn and as such requires no more than to accept it.
Love yourself, accept yourself, forgive yourself, and be good to yourself, because without you the rest of us are without a source of many wonderful things.
Like any other living, growing thing, love requires effort to keep it healthy.
Charles M. Schulz
Nothing takes the taste out of peanut butter quite like unrequited love.
Sometimes I lie awake at night, and I ask, “Where have I gone wrong?” Then a voice says to me, “This is going to take more than one night.”

Change is not merely necessary to life, it is life. Alvin Toffler
Desire is possibility seeking expression. Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying. Nancye V. Sims
Frank Zappa
Without deviation from the norm, progress is not possible.
There are more love songs than anything else. If songs could make you do something we would all love one another.
Think of all the beauty still left around you and be happy. Anne Frank
What separates individuals is not how many times they fall, but how fast they get back up and try again. Nigel Risner
And forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair. Kahlil Gibran
Don’t be afraid to encounter risks. It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave. Nancye V. Sims
Failure is not falling down but refusing to get up. Japanese Proverb
Happiness is that state of consciousness which proceeds from the achievement of one's values. Ayn Rand
By living your life one day at a time, you live all the days of your life. Nancye V. Sims
Nobody who ever gave their best regretted it. George Halas
If you had an hour to live and could only make one telephone call - who would you call, what would you say, and why are you waiting? Stephen Levine
We cannot become what we want to be by remaining what we are. Max Dupree
