The man is a success who has lived well,
laughed often, and loved much; who has gained the respect of intelligent men
and the love of children; who has filled his niche and accomplished his task;
who leaves the world better than he found it, whether by an improved poppy, a
perfect poem, or a rescued soul; who never lacked appreciation of earth's
beauty or failed to express it; who looked for the best in others and gave the
best he had.
Give us grace and strength to forbear and
to persevere. Give us courage and gaiety and the quiet mind, spare to us our
friends, soften to us our enemies.
Robert Louis Stevenson
1850-1895, Scottish Essayist, Poet, Novelist

You can give without loving, but you can
never love without giving.

The thought of our past years in me doth

The little unremembered acts of kindness
and love are the best parts of a person's life.

I am already kindly disposed towards you.
My friendship it is not in my power to give: this is a gift which no man can
make, it is not in our own power: a sound and healthy friendship is the growth
of time and circumstance, it will spring up and thrive

Give all thou canst; high Heaven rejects

A strong, successful man is not the victim of his
environment. He creates favorable conditions. His own inherent force and energy
compel things to turn out as he desires.

author and founder of Success magazine.
Every experience in life, everything with which we have
come in contact in life, is a chisel which has been cutting away at our life
statue, molding, modifying, shaping it. We are part of all we have met.
Everything we have seen, heard, felt or thought has had its hand in molding us,
shaping us.

If you want happiness for an hour -- take a nap. If you
want happiness for a day -- go fishing. If you want happiness for a month --
get married. If you want happiness for a year -- inherit a fortune. If you want
happiness for a lifetime -- help someone else.
Do not confine your children to your own learning, for
they were born in another time
Teachers open the door but you must walk through it
yourself.
A gem cannot be polished without friction, nor a man
perfected without trials.
Be not afraid of going slowly, be afraid only of standing
still.
God couldn't be everywhere, so he created mothers
A man should choose a friend who is better than himself.
There are plenty of acquaintances in the world; but very few real friends.
Follow love and it will flee, flee love and it will
follow.
In teaching others we teach ourselves.
Tell the truth and then run.
There is not so much comfort in having children as there
is sorrow in parting with them.
Blue eyes say, Love me or I die; black eyes say, Love me
or I kill thee.
If the wife sins, the husband is not innocent.
It is prosperity that gives us friends, adversity that
proves them.
