  1. "Work like you don't need the money, love like you'll never get hurt, and dance like no one is watching."

    "Let go of what kills you and hold on to what keeps you breathing."

    "A person who knows how to laugh at himself will never cease to be amused."

    "I have had a perfectly wonderful day, but this wasn't it."

    "Being positive won't solve all of your problems, but it sure will annoy the heck out of people."


  2. And now here is my secret, a very simple secret; it is only with the heart that one can see rightly, what is essential is invisible to the eye -Antoine de Saint Exupery.

  3. Live each day like it's your last

  4. 'Don't cry because it's over - smile because it happened'.

    Though originally from Woody Allen, I believe, it was quoted at the end of the funeral service of a 13-year old music student of mine by her father. Cynical as I have become at the age of 57, just thinking about it now, 5 years later, still reduces me to tears.  

  5. I have lots but these are my most favourites.

    "Variety's the very spice of life, that gives it all its flavour"

    "Life can only be understood backward, but it must be lived forward"

    "Never frown because you never know who might be falling in love with your smile"

    "If you love someone, put their name in a circle; because hearts can be broken, but circles never end"

    "Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, today is God's gift, that's why we call it the present"

    "If I had a rose for everytime I thought of you, I'd walk through a garden forever"

    "We can buy a car but we can't buy love, it is a gift from God"

    "The hardest thing to do is watch the one you love, love someone else"

    "How can people be normal if everyone is different?"

    "Many people will walk in and out of your life, but only true friends will leave footprints in your hearts"

    "A true friend is someone who is there for you when he'd rather be anywhere else"

    "Good friends are hard to find, harder to leave, and impossible to forget"


  6. Here's  my favorite:

    Desiderata

    Go placidly amid the noise and the haste,

    and remember what peace there may be in silence.

    As far as possible, without surrender,

    be on good terms with all persons.

    Speak your truth quietly and clearly;

    and listen to others,

    even to the dull and the ignorant;

    they too have their story.

    Avoid loud and aggressive persons;

    they are vexatious to the spirit.

    If you compare yourself with others,

    you may become vain or bitter,

    for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.

    Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.

    Keep interested in your own career, however humble;

    it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.

    Exercise caution in your business affairs,

    for the world is full of trickery.

    But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;

    many persons strive for high ideals,

    and everywhere life is full of heroism.

    Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection.

    Neither be cynical about love,

    for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment,

    it is as perennial as the grass.

    Take kindly the counsel of the years,

    gracefully surrendering the things of youth.

    Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.

    But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.

    Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.

    Beyond a wholesome discipline,

    be gentle with yourself.

    You are a child of the universe

    no less than the trees and the stars;

    you have a right to be here.

    And whether or not it is clear to you,

    no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

    Therefore be at peace with God,

    whatever you conceive Him to be.

    And whatever your labors and aspirations,

    in the noisy confusion of life,

    keep peace in your soul.

    With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,

    it is still a beautiful world.

    Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.

    Max Ehrmann, 1921
