Your talent is God's gift to you. What you do with it is your gift back to God.
What we call the secret of happiness is no more a secret than our willingness to choose life.
Love is always open arms. If you close your arms about love you will find that you are left holding only yourself.
We are no longer puppets being manipulated by outside powerful forces: we become the powerful force ourselves.
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.

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.
Never idealize others. They will never live up to your expectations.
Love is life. And if you miss love, you miss life.
Worry never robs tomorrow of its sorrow, it only saps today of its joy.
