When it comes to giving love, the opportunities are unlimited, and we are all gifted.

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.

Don't spend your precious time asking "Why isn't the world a better place?" It will only be time wasted. The question to ask is "How can I make it better?" To that there is an answer.

The easiest thing to be in the world is you. The most difficult thing to be is what other people want you to be. Don't let them put you in that position.

Relish love in your old age! Aged love is like aged wine; it becomes more satisfying, more refreshing, more valuable, more appreciated and more intoxicating!

Everybody needs a hug. It changes your metabolism.

Life is uncharted territory. It reveals its story one moment at a time.

It’s never the value of water but thirst, it’s never the value of life but death and it’s never about the friendship but trust.

It is in the best interest of the rich to preserve poverty.

You are your own best teacher. ~Jimmy Buffett

It is human to err but it is devilish to remain willfully in error.

A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches.

Virtue consists, not in abstaining from vice, but in not desiring it.

The lower our self-esteem, the more we're attracted to our opposite, and the higher our self-esteem, the more we are attracted to another like ourselves.
