Manifest plainness, Embrace simplicity, Reduce selfishness, Have few desires

Lao Tzu

Start living now. Stop saving the good china for that special occasion. Stop withholding you love until that special person materializes. Every day you are alive is a special occasion. Every minute, every breath, is a gift from God.

Mary Manin Morrissey

If things seem under control, you’re just not going fast enough.

Mario Andretti

Make your life itself a creative work of art.

Mike Ray

Live for something. Do good, and leave behind you a monument of virtue that the storm of time can never destroy.Write your name in kindness, love, and mercy, on the hearts of thousands you come in contact with year by year; you will never be forgotten.
No, your name, your deeds, will be as legible on the hearts you leave behind as the stars on the brow of evening. Good deeds will shine as the stars of heaven.

Chalmers

You can be pleased with nothing when you are not pleased with yourself.

Lady Mary Wortley
