It is what you read when you don’t have to
that determines what you will be when you can’t help it.
Oscar Wilde

It is often in the darkest
skies that we see the
brightest stars.
_Richard Evans

I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where.
I love you simply, without problems or pride:
I love you in this way because I do not know any other way of loving but this,
in which there is no I or you,
so intimate that your hand upon my chest is my hand,
so intimate that when I fall asleep your eyes close.
Pablo Neruda

Tears are often the telescope by which men see far into heaven.
Henry Ward Beecher

The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have,
and that is our attitude.
I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me
and 90% how I react to it.
And so it is with you…..
you are in charge of your attitude.
Charles R. Swindoll

Whoever wants music instead of noise,
joy instead of pleasure,
soul instead of gold,
creative work instead of business,
passion instead of foolery,
finds no home in this trivial world of ours.
Hermann Hesse

We shouldn’t deny the pain of what happens in our lives.
We should just refuse to focus only on the valleys.
Charles R. Swindoll

The Grand essentials of happiness are:
something to do,
something to love,
and something to hope for.
Allan K. Chalmers

Outside of a dog, a book is man’s best friend.
Inside of a dog it’s too dark to read.
Groucho Marx
