If you accept the expectations of others, especially negative ones, then you never will change the outcome.

Someone's sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago.

Health is the greatest possession. Contentment is the greatest treasure. Confidence is the greatest friend. Non-being is the greatest joy.

And now, this is the sweetest and most glorious day that ever my eyes did see.

Only those who have learned the power of sincere and selfless contribution experience life's deepest joy: true fulfillment.

There is nothing stronger in the world than gentleness.

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

Change your thoughts and you change your world.

Gratitude is the fairest blossom which springs from the soul.

Joy descends gently upon us like the evening dew, and does not patter down like a hailstorm.
