Uplifting Quotes


BELIEVE AND SUCCEED Courage does not always roar. Sometimes, it is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, "I will try again tomorrow".


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
EXCELLENCE Many times the difference between failure and success is doing something nearly right or doing it exactly right.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
HONOR It is better to fail with honor than to win by deceit.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
COMPASSION Resolve to be tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving, and tolerant with the weak and wrong because sometime in your life, you will have been all of these.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
INTEGRITY We make a living by what we get; we make a life by what we give.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
COMMITMENT Commitment is what transforms a promise into a reality.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
SUCCESS Some people dream of success while others wake up and work hard at it.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
POWER OF ATTITUDE Our lives are not determined by what happens to us, but how we react to what happens; not by what life brings us, but by the attitude we bring to life. A positive attitude causes a chain reaction of positive thoughts, events and outcomes. It is a catalyst a spark that creates extraordinary results.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
EXCELLENCE Excellence is the result of caring more than others think is wise; risking more than others think is safe. Dreaming more than others think is practical and expecting more than others think is possible.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
ESSENCE OF PERSISTENCE The power to shape the future is earned through persistence. No other quality is as essential to success. It is the sandpaper that breaks down all resistance and sweeps away all obstacles. It is the ability to move mountains one grain of sand at a time.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
CHARACTER Your true character is revealed by the clarity of your convictions, the choices you make, and the promises you keep. Hold strongly to your principles and refuse to follow the currents of convenience. What you do, not what you say, defines who you are.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
INTEGRITY The highest courage is to dare to be yourself in the face of adversity. Choosing right over wrong, ethics over convenience, and truth over popularity these are the choices that measure our life. Travel the path of integrity without looking back, for there is never a wrong time to do the right thing.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
DESTINY Watch your thoughts, for they become words. Choose your words, for they become actions. Understand your actions, for they become habits. Study your habits, for they will become our character. Develop your character, for it becomes your destiny.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Forgiveness is the scent that the rose leaves on the heel that crushes it.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yesterday is a cancelled check. Tomorrow is a promissory note. Today is the only cash you have spend it wisely.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Be who you are and say what you want, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind. Theodor Seuss Geisel March 2, 1904 - September 24, 1991


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Look for the person who is doing some unpleasant task and offer to help get it done in half the time. You may be surprised at the warmth that will return to you in the future.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Let a series of happy thoughts run through your mind. They will show on your face.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Success is going from failure to failure without a loss of enthusiasm.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you live to be a hundred, I want to live to be a hundred minus one day, so I never have to live without you. - Winnie the Pooh


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail. -


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

[spong]

If only I could sleep just ten more minutes
I might find the strength to make another day
If I didn't have to get up and do my thing
I'd probably sleep my whole life away
Messed up a nice dream
Somethin about ice cream
Whipped cream, fruits and a cherry on top
Now I've gotta get up and face the world
The pressures on it aint ever gonna stop

~Ralph Waldo Emerson

(Thanks and a hug to Voo's Baby who sent me this today.)

[KTDUG]

Look not at what you have lost but at what you have left

Real love begins where nothing is expected in return

To love and be loved is the essence of life

HAPPINESS is a way of seeing good in everybody and everything

Love each other or PERISH

Dream as if you'll live forever. Live as if you'll die tomorrow

Live simply that other may simply live

Let no-one ever come to you without leaving better and happier

If you love life, life will love you back

The human spirit is stronger than anything that can happen to it!!

It's not who you are that holds you back, its who you think your'e not

My favourites

We should give meaning to life not wait for life to give us meaning

The only real failure in life is giving up

Your own self is the only corner of the universe you can improve

It's never to late to be what you might have been

Hope never abandons you, you abandon it

No-one said life was going to be easy!!

Love all, trust a few, do wrong to none

you'll grow.

K--Know. Know that no matter how bad things seem, they'll always

wasted has no value. Talent that's used will bring unexpected
rewards.

V--Value. Value the friends and family members who have
supported and encouraged you, and be there for them as well.

W--Work. Work hard every day to be the best person you can be,
but never feel guilty if you fall short of your goals. Every
sunrise offers a second chance.

X--X-Ray. Look deep inside the hearts of those around you and
you'll see the goodness and beauty within.

dedicated, you'll find success at the end of the road.

its ugly head. Let nothing interfere with your goals. Instead,
focus on your abilities, your dreams, and a brighter tomorrow.

[mayra]

"The recovery phase begins slowly piece by piece.
Piece by piece I re-enter the world.
A new phase,
a new body,
a new voice.
Birds console me by flying,
Trees by growing,
dogs by the warm patch they leave on sofa,
unknown people merely by performing their motions.
It is like slow recovery from sickness,
this recovery of one's self"

Tony Talbot
