God does not treat us as our sins deserve, man treats us as our sins deserve.

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.

Chinese Proverb

Be more gay, I beseech you!

George Orwell

Let that which stood in front go behind, let that which was behind advance to the front, let bigots, fools, unclean persons, offer new propositions, let the old propositions be postponed.

Walt Whitman

Stop pointing fingers and placing blame on others. Your life can only change to the degree that you accept responsibility for it.

Steve Maraboli

Be courteous to all, but intimate with few, and let those few be well tried before you give them your confidence. True friendship is a plant of slow grow, and must undergo and withstand the shocks of adversity before it is entitled to the appellation.

George Washington

I would especially like to re-court the Muse of poetry, who ran off with the mailman four years ago, and drops me only a scribbled postcard from time to time.

John Updike

It might be said now that I have the best of both worlds: a Harvard education and a Yale degree.

John Fitzgerald Kennedy

Fear is not a lasting teacher of duty.

Marcus Tullius Cicero

Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for.

Epicurus

After all my erstwhile dear, my no longer cherished; Need we say it was not love, just because it perished?

Edna St. Vincent Millay

The thing done avails, and not what is said about it. An original sentence, a step forward, is worth more than all the censures.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

If you are distressed by anything external, the pain is not due to the thing itself but to your own estimate of it; and this you have the power to revoke at any moment.

Marcus Aurelius
