It is simple. We are where we should be, doing what we should be doing. Otherwise we would be somewhere else, doing something else. RICHARD STINE

Real integrity is doing the right thing, knowing that nobody's going to know whether you did it or not. OPRAH WINFREY

To succeed in life, you need three things: a wishbone, a backbone and a funny bone. REBA McENTIRE

I don't want to get to the end of my life and find that I lived just the length of it. I want to have lived the width of it as well. DIANE ACKERMAN

Take the attitude of a student, never be too big to ask questions, never know too much to learn something new. OG MANDINO

The beginning of love is to let those we love be perfectly themselves, and not to twist them to fit our own image. Otherwise we love only the reflection of ourselves we find in them. THOMAS MERTON

It's the action, not the fruit of the action, that's important. You have to do the right thing. It may not be in your power, may not be in your time, that there will be any fruit. But that doesn't mean you stop doing the right thing. You may never know what results come from your action. But if you do nothing, there will be no result. MAHATMA GANDHI

All happenings, great and small, are parables whereby God speaks. The art of life is to get the message.

Life is difficult. This is a great truth, one of the greatest truths. It is a great truth because once we truly see this truth, we transcend it. Once we truly know that life is difficult – once we truly understand and accept it – then life is no longer difficult. Because once it is accepted, the fact that life is difficult no longer matters. M. SCOTT PECK

To understand the nature of God, it is necessary only to know the nature of love itself. To truly know love is to know and understand God; and to know God is to understand love. DAVID HAWKINS

If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion. DALAI LAMA

MALCOLM MUGGERIDGE

We are not human beings on a spiritual journey. We are spiritual beings on a human journey.

The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes. MARCEL PROUST

STEVEN COVEY

Joy is what happens when we allow ourselves to recognise how good things really are.

Smart people learn from everything and everyone, average people from their experiences, stupid people already have all the answers.
