Success is getting and achieving what you want. Happiness is wanting and being content with what you get.

Use those talents you have. You will make it. You will give joy to the world. Take this tip from nature: The woods would be a very silent place if no birds sang except those who sang best.

When you forgive, you in no way change the past - but you sure do change the future.

Happiness is like a kiss. You must share it to enjoy it.

A true friend is someone who thinks that you are a good egg even though he knows that you are slightly cracked.

If you want to be original just try being yourself, because God has never made two people exactly alike.

There is no better exercise for your heart than reaching down and helping to lift someone up.

Before you speak ask yourself if what you are going to say is true, is kind, is necessary, is helpful. If the answer is no, maybe what you are about to say should be left unsaid.

You can make more friends in two months by becoming really interested in other people, than you can in two years by trying to get other people interested in you.

We may give without loving, but we cannot love without giving.

If you have learned how to disagree without being disagreeable, then you have discovered the secrete of getting along — whether it be business, family relations, or life itself.
