Somebody once figured out that we have 35 million laws trying to enforce 10 commandments.

Some goals are so worthy, it's glorious even to fail.

A wife is a person who can look in the top drawer of a dresser and find a man's handkerchief that isn't there.

We, the unwilling, led by the unknowing, have been asked to do so much with so little for so long that we are now capable of doing anything with nothing.

There are some days I practice positive thinking. And other days I'm not positive, I am thinking.

There are too many people praying for mountains of difficulty to be removed, when what they really need is courage to climb them.

When there's nothing on TV, most people will watch it anyway.

You are what you are, and not what loves you back

You are what you are and now what loves you back

She wasn’t wounded – She was a wound

Talk low, talk slow, and don't say too much.

Keep a grateful journal. Every night, list five things that happened this day that you are grateful for. What it will begin to do is change your perspective of your day and your life. If you can learn to focus on what you have, you will always see that the universe is abundant; you will have more. If you concentrate on what you don't have, you will never have enough.

"All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others" – Animal Farm

It's the movies that have really been running things in America ever since they were invented. They show you what to do, how to do it, when to do it, how to feel about it, and how to look how you feel about it.

Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going.

There are three ways to get something done: (1) Do it yourself. (2) Hire someone to do it for you. (3) Forbid your kids to do it.

There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.

It is a good thing for an uneducated man
to read books of quotations.
-- Sir Winston Churchill.

I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

Over the years I learned one thing for sure, if you really want somebody to know how they hurt you by acting how they did, don’t hold back, because you’re only telling what you feel deep down inside…and if he gets angry at you because of it…well, so it be, he doesn’t deserves you anyway! – Me

There are things you don't want to happen,

but you have to except it. There are things

you don't want to know, but you have to

learn. And there are people you can't live

without, but you have to let go.

If you woke up breathing, congratulations! You have another chance.

You are young, and as the years go by, time will change and even reverse many of your present opinions. Refrain therefore awhile from setting yourself up as a judge of the highest matters.

A little more persistence, a little more effort, and what seemed hopeless failure may turn to glorious success.

Perseverance is a great element of success. If you only knock long enough and loud enough at the gate, you are sure to wake up somebody.

We find comfort among those who agree with us – growth among those who don’t

My recipe for dealing with anger and frustration: set the kitchen timer for twenty minutes, cry, rant, and rave, and at the sound of the bell, simmer down and go about business as usual. Phyllis Diller

There has never been an age that did not applaud the past and lament the present.

Some folks never exaggerate-they just remember big.

Sadness is almost never anything but a form of fatigue.

Nostalgia is a seductive liar
