Sometimes the happiest people you know

are the saddest people you will never meet.

~ Jamie Hagberg





***





How far you go in life depends on

your being tender with the young,

compassionate with the aged,

sympathetic with the striving,

and tolerant of the weak

-because some day you will

have been all of these...

~ George Washington Carver





***





It’s never too late to have

a happy childhood.

~ Tom Robbins





***



If your head tells you one thing

and your heart tells you another,

before you do anything,

you should first decide whether you have

a better head or a better heart.





***





The higher you build

the walls around your heart,

the harder you fall when

someone tears them down.





***





ALWAYS listen to children.





***





sometimes your smile

is precisely

what someone else needs.





***





A single moment of wrath can

turn the universe to ashes.





***





Find friendship with yourself,

–until you can it will be difficult

to find friendship with anyone else.





***





Do not dwell upon what

you could become, unless

you are prepared to pay for

it with all that you are now.





***





Flatter me, and I may not believe you.

Criticize me, and I may not like you.

Ignore me, and I may not forgive you.

Encourage me, and I will not forget you.

~  William Arthur Ward





***





The only place where

your dream becomes impossible

is in your own thinking.

~ Robert Schuller





***





I've learned that:

goodbyes will always hurt,

pictures can never replace being there,

memories forget the hard times,

words can never replace feelings,

and heroes often go unsung.





***





Listen to your heart, to your own intuitive wisdom, when making important decisions, especially when deciding about a gift of destiny, such as a soulmate. Destiny will deposit its gift directly at your feet, but what you subsequently decide to do with that gift is up to you.

~ Dr. Brian Weiss





***





Start a huge apparently foolish project like Noah, labor in it with all your heart, it makes absolutely no difference

what people think of you.

~ Rumi





***





Learn to see with your heart,

not your eyes.

~ Dr. Brian Weiss





***





We close our eyes

to the world

and then cry out

that it is dark.





***





We must learn to receive love

as well as to give love.





***





Why go through a lifetime of

discomfort caused by not telling

someone that you love them?





***





Everyone needs to be loved

... especially when they do not deserve it.





***





We do not remember days,

we remember moments.





***





The real measure of a man's wealth

is what he has invested

in eternity.





***





"I would like my heart back now,

if you don't mind..."





***





Whoever brought me here,

will have to

take me home.

~ Rumi
