Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new.
- Albert Einstein

Mistakes are a part of being human. Appreciate your mistakes for what they are: precious life lessons that can only be learned the hard way. Unless it's a fatal mistake, which, at least, others can learn from.
- Al Franken

Be not ashamed of mistakes and thus make them crimes.
- Confucius

We must not say every mistake is a foolish one.
- Cicero

[GiGi]

People are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within.
- Elisabeth Kubler-Ross

There is nothing that makes its way more directly into the soul than beauty.

Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.
- Leo Buscaglia

Kindness is tenderness. Kindness is love, but perhaps greater than love...Kindness is good will. Kindness says, "I want you to be happy.
- Randolph Ray

[Lisa1969]

"No man was ever yet a great poet, without being at the same time a profound philosopher. For poetry is the blossom and the fragrancy of all human knowledge, human thoughts, human passions, emotions, language."
~ Samuel Taylor Coleridge

"The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both."
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

"Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing happened. "
~ Winston Churchill

[Lisa1969]

"What we think or what we believe is, in the end, of little consequence.
The only thing of consequence is what we do."
~ John Ruskin

[Lisa1969]

A Smile costs nothing but gives much.

It takes but a moment, but the memory of it sometimes lasts forever.


It cannot be bought, begged, borrowed, or stolen, for it is something that is of no value to anyone until it is given away.



Some people are too tired to give you a smile. Give them one of yours, as none needs a smile as much as he who has no more to give.

There are no "things" that will make you happy. You have to choose to be happy. Do it for yourself....the time is now!

Happiness does not depend on outward things, but on the way we see them.
Leo Tolstoy

If we all worked on the assumption that what is accepted as true were really true,
there would be little hope of advance.
Orville Wright

When I want to read a novel, I write one.
Benjamin Disraeli

[Lisa1969]

If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost. That is where they should be. Now put the foundation under them.

Kites rise highest against the wind; not with it.

You cannot raise a man up by calling him down.

Leadership is doing what is right when no one is watching.

Happiness Quotes

When one door of happiness closes, another opens, but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one that has been opened for us.
Helen Keller

Happiness does not consist in pastimes and amusements but in virtuous activities.
Aristotle

The happiness of life is made up of minute fractions—the little soon-forgotten charities of a kiss, a smile, a kind look, a heartfelt compliment in the disguise of a playful raillery, and the countless other infinitessimals of pleasurable thought and genial feeling.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Men spend their lives in anticipations,—in determining to be vastly happy at some period when they have time. But the present time has one advantage over every other—it is our own. Past opportunities are gone, future have not come. We may lay in a stock of pleasures, as we would lay in a stock of wine; but if we defer the tasting of them too long, we shall find that both are soured by age.
Charles Caleb Colton

[Lisa1969]

Don't waste your life in doubts and fears: spend yourself on the work before you, well assured that the right performance of this hour's duties will be the best preparation for the hours or ages that follow it.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

No longer forward nor behind
I look in hope and fear;
But grateful take the good I find,
The best of now and here.
John G. Whittier
