Why do some people always see beautiful skies and grass and lovely flowers and incredible human beings while others are hard-pressed to find anything or any place that is beautiful?

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.

Love yourself-accept yourself-forgive yourself-and be good to yourself, because without you the rest of us are without a source of many wonderful things.

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!

Only the weak are cruel. Gentleness can only be expected from the strong.

I have a very strong feeling that the opposite of love is not hate - it's apathy. It's not giving a damn.

Everybody needs a hug. It changes your metabolism.

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

With faith, we can walk through the fair un-harmed.

If only people could understand me, And know how I want to live.Trust me, there would be a real smile on my face, Rather than slightly curvy lips.

God has already been in your tomorrow, and is working on your today.

Think occasionally of the suffering of which you spare yourself the sight.

We are not able to express ourselves in a hospital, even when seriously ill, we don�t have time.

Whatever you think you are, that's not what you are.

It's so funny how my name has always been such a big deal. When I was growing up, my family was always moving. I had to meet new people all the time. And they'd laugh.

Everywhere I am the object of an unbelievable esteem, the interest in me is, quite simply, tremendous.

I think people should be allowed to do anything they want. We haven't tried that for a while. Maybe this time it'll work.
