The attitude of kindness is everyday stuff like a great pair of sneakers. Not frilly. Not fancy. Just plain and comfortable.

If you can forgive the person you were, accept the person you are, and believe in the person you will become, you are headed for joy. So celebrate your life.

Attitude is the mind's paintbrush; it can color any situation.

Little islands are all large prisons: one cannot look at the sea without wishing for the wings of a swallow.
