With gratitude, all life appears as a blessing – without gratitude, all of life is perceived as a burden.

Jonathan Lockwood Huie

Live your life each day as you would climb a mountain. An occasional glance toward the summit keeps the goal in mind, but many beautiful scenes are to be observed from each new vantage point. Climb slowly, steadily, enjoying each passing moment; and the view from the summit will serve as a fitting climax for the journey.

Harold V. Melchert

Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add color to my sunset sky.

Rabindranath Tagore

Living well is the best revenge.

George Herbert

I would like to be remembered as a man who had a wonderful time living his life, and who had good friends, a fine family. I don’t think I could ask for anything more than that, actually.

~ Frank Sinatra

You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough.

Mae West

You’re given the form, but you have to write the sonnet yourself. What you say is completely up to you.

Madeleine L’Engle

I want to live my life, not record it.

Jackie Kennedy

The best things in life are nearest: Breath in your nostrils, light in your eyes, flowers at your feet, duties at your hand, the path of right just before you. Then do not grasp at the stars, but do life’s plain, common work as it comes, certain that daily duties and daily bread are the sweetest things in life.

Robert Louis Stevenson

Seize the moment. Remember all those women on the “”Titanic”" who waved off the dessert cart.
