“Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.”

The true mark of maturity is when somebody hurts you and you try to understand their situation instead of trying to hurt them back.

Positive anything is better than negative nothing.

“The spirit of democracy is not a mechanical thing to be adjusted by abolition of forms. It requires change of heart.”

“Gratitude is one of the most powerful human emotions. Once expressed, it changes attitude, brightens outlook, and broadens our perspective.”

“If you don’t know, the thing to do is not to get scared, but to learn.”

“Carry out a random act of kindness, with no expectation of reward, safe in the knowledge that one day someone might do the same for you.”

“If you think friendship is easy, then you have never had a true friend.”

Never regret being a good person, to the wrong people. Your behavior says everything about you, and their behavior says enough about them.

Live your best, and act your best, and think your best each day, for there may be no tomorrows.

Successful people keep moving. They make mistakes, but they don’t quit.

Be Happy Be Yourself, if others don’t like it, then let them be. Happiness is a choice. Life isn’t about pleasing everybody. 

The bond that links your true family is not one of blood, but of respect and joy in each other’s life.
