Let's see - there's not much I don't like!

"To live content with small means;to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion; to be worthy, not respectable; and wealthy, not rich; to study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly...to listen to stars and buds, to babes and sages, with open heart; await occasions, hurry never...this is my symphony." William Henry Channing

“Nothing makes a woman more beautiful than the belief that she is beautiful.” Sophia Loren (From me: spoken by one of the most beautiful women in the world...ah but if it were only that simple!)

“Books are the quietest and most constant of friends; they are the most accessible and wisest of counselors, and the most patient of teachers.” Charles W. Eliot

"People sacrifice the present for the future. But life is available only in the present." Thich Nhat Hanh

"The key is to keep company only with people who uplift you, whose presence calls forth your best." Epictetus

"Nothing is at last sacred but the integrity of your own mind." Ralph Waldo Emerson

"Wealth consists not in having great possessions but in having few wants." Esther de Waal

"Do good, feel good, feel good, do good." The Happiness Project book

"Don't ask yourself what the world needs. Ask yourself what makes you come alive and then go do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive." Howard Thurman

Happily Incompatible-Billy Graham
I should not talk so much about myself if there were anybody else whom I knew as well. Henry David Thoreau

Fly with the angels...dance with the stars

Just for today I will strive to recognize the beauty within myself. I will escape discouragement and replace it with virtue. I will offer compassion and forgive my faults. I will bury self-doubt and plant seeds of optimism. I will cast out bitterness and treasure purity. Today...I will embrace every good thing and surrender myself to God. Leslie A. Neilson

Like giggling, stillness is infectious. It is getting caught up completely in the laughing mind of God. Hugh Prather

Success in life is not how well we execute plan A; it's how smoothly we cope with plan B! Simple Abundance
