The world owes you nothing; it was here first. Mark Twain


We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark; the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light. Plato

Sometimes I lie awake at night and I ask, "Where have I gone wrong?" Then a voice says to me, "This is going to take more than one night." Charles Shultz

I love these - from the funny to the thoughtful.
Here are some of my favorites...

If you can imagine it, you can create it. If you can dream it,
you can become it.....William Arthur Ward

Forgiveness is the fragrance the violet sheds - on the heel
that has crushed it.....Mark Twain

When you were born, you cried - and the world rejoiced.
Live your life so that when you die - the world cries and
you rejoice.....Cherokee Saying

The most valuable lesson man has learned from his dog is
to kick a few blades of grass over it and move on.....Robert Brault

If you've made mistakes, there's always another chance for you.
You can have a fresh start any moment you choose,
for the thing we call "failure" is not the falling down - but
the staying down.....Mary Pickford

Attitude is a little thing - that makes a big difference....Winston Churchill

The state of your life is nothing more than a reflection of
the state of your mind.....Wayne Dyer

Treat people "as if they were" what they ought to be - and
you help them to "Become" what they are capable of being....Goethe

If you think you are too small to make a difference, try sleeping in
a closed room with a mosquito.....African Proverb

And of course, that most famous quoter of all - "Anonymous"....

There are hundreds of languages in the world, but a Smile speaks them all

The greatest oak was once a little nut that held its ground

How come it takes so little time for a child who is afraid of the dark -
to become a teenager who wants to stay out all night

The trouble with bucket seats is that not everyone has
the same size bucket

Love...Peg
