DENG MING-DAO

The good in you is like the water in a well. The more you draw from it, the more fresh water will seep in. If you do not draw from it, the water will only become stagnant.

DANNY KAYE

Life is a great big canvas, and you should throw all the paint on it you can.

MARY ENGELBREIT

If you don’t like something change it. If you can’t change it, change the way you think about it.

WILLIAM BLAKE

It is right it should be so;
Man was made for Joy and Woe;
And when this we rightly know,
Through the world we safely go.
Joy and Woe are woven fine,
A Clothing for the soul divine.

ANON

Remember, people will judge you by your actions, not your intentions. You may have a heart of gold, but so does a hard-boiled egg.

SENECA

We should every night call ourselves to an account. What infirmity have I mastered today? What passions opposed? What temptations resisted? What virtue acquired? Our vices will abate of themselves if they are brought every day to the shrift.

AMANDA McBROOM

It is the heart afraid of breaking that never learns to dance.
It is the dream afraid of waking that never takes a chance.
It is the one who won't be taken who cannot seem to give.
And the soul afraid of dying that never learns to live.

GROUCHO MARX

Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it everywhere, diagnosing it incorrectly and applying the wrong remedies.

BERTRAND RUSSELL

The secret of happiness is this - let your interests be as wide as possible, and let your reactions to the things and persons that interest you be as far as possible friendly rather than hostile.

LAO TSU

Knowing others is wisdom,
Knowing the self is enlightenment.
Mastering others requires force,
Mastering the self needs strength.

ANON

The butterfly counts not months but moments, and has time enough.
