“The grand essentials to happiness in this life are something to do, something to love, and something to hope for.”

“Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, today is a gift of God, which is why we call it the present.”

“He has achieved success who has lived well, laughed often, and loved much;Who has enjoyed the trust of pure women, the respect of intelligent men and the love of little children;Who has filled his niche and accomplished his task;Who has never lacked appreciation of Earth’s beauty or failed to express it;Who has left the world better than he found it,Whether an improved poppy, a perfect poem, or a rescued soul;Who has always looked for the best in others and given them the best he had;Whose life was an inspiration;Whose memory a benediction.”

“Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.”
