I think of life itself now as a wonderful play that I've written for myself. And so my purpose is to have the utmost fun playing my part.
Shirley MacLaine The things that come to those that wait may be the things left by those who got there first. Unknown To work in the world lovingly means that we are defining what we will be for, rather than reacting to what we are against. Christina Baldwin

Without friends, no one would choose to live, though he had all other goods.

Waste your money and you're only out of money, but waste your time and you've lost part of your life.
Michael Leboeuf You can easily judge the character of others by how they treat those who can do nothing for them or to them. Malcolm Forbes Little progress can be made by merely attempting to repress what is evil; our great hope lies in developing what is good. Calvin Coolidge

Honest criticism is hard to take, particularly from a relative, a friend, an acquaintance or a stranger.
Franklin P. Jones Life is a series of problems. Either you are in one now, you're just coming out of one or you're getting ready to go into another one. Unknown When we accept tough jobs as a challenge to our ability and wade into them with joy and enthusiasm, miracles can happen. Arland Gilbert

This is an interesting quote by Ramona L. Anderson." People spend a life time for searching happiness,looking for peace.They chase idle dreams,addictions,religions,even other people, hoping to fill the emptiness that plagues them.The irony is the only place they ever needed to search was within."

Reflect on your present blessings, of which every man has many; not on your past misfortunes, of which all men have some.
Charles Dickens The smallest good deed is better than the grandest good intention. Duguet When everything seems to be going against you, remember the airplane takes off against the wind, not with it. Henry Ford

Time is the coin of your life. It is the only coin you have and only you can determine how it will be spent. Be careful lest you let other people spend it for you.
Carl Sandburg There are some things you learn best in calm and some in storm. Willa Cather Oh heart, if one should say to you that the soul perishes like the body, answer that the flower withers, but the seed remains. Khalil Gibran

Anyway, no drug, not even alcohol, causes the fundamental ills of society. If we're looking for the source of our troubles, we shouldn't test people for drugs, we should test them for stupidity, ignorance, greed and love of power.
~P.J. O'Rourke

Forgiving is love's toughest work and love's biggest risk. If you twist it into something it was never meant to be, it can make you a doormat or an insufferable manipulator. Forgiving seems almost unnatural. Our sense of fairness tells us people should pay for the wrong they do. But forgiving is love's power to break nature's rule.
Lewis B. Smedes Life leaps like a geyser for those willing to drill through the rock of inertia. Unknown Goodness is a special kind of truth and beauty. It is truth and beauty in human behavior. H.A. Overstreet
