Apparently there is nothing that cannot happen today.

For the general public or psychos on Facebook, for everyone who’s made one negative comment about me, I’ve probably gotten 250-300 positive comments.

Education is not a problem. Education is an opportunity.

If in our daily life we can smile, if we can be peaceful and happy, not only we, but everyone will profit from it. This is the most basic kind of peace work.

Remember, you can always stoop and pick up nothing.

Bragging just sounds good, man.

Courage is found in unlikely places.

Optimism comes less easily today, not because democracy is less vigorous, but because democracy’s enemies have refined their instruments of repression.

It isn’t the mountains ahead to climb that wear you out; it’s the pebble in your shoe.

Until you have formed the habit of looking for the good instead of the bad there is in others, you will be neither successful nor happy.

Your success and happiness lies in you. Resolve to keep happy, and your joy and you shall form an invincible host against difficulties.

If at first you don’t succeed, then skydiving definitely isn’t for you.

Wherever you go, go with all your heart.

You can’t be happy by doing something groovy.

You know, God will give favor to anyone who will believe Him. Every day you should confess that you have favor everywhere you go. God will begin to open doors that you wouldn’t believe.

Yesterday’s home runs don’t win today’s games.

I was born with a happy heart, and I try to keep a good attitude. It’s not true that I’m happy all the time because nobody is, and we all go through our things.

Sweet are the uses of adversity which, like the toad, ugly and venomous, wears yet a precious jewel in his head.

When someone does a small task beautifully, their whole environment is affected by it.

For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone.

We could never learn to be brave and patient, if there were only joy in the world.

As a bull market turns into a bear market, the new pros turn into optimists, hoping and praying the bear market will become a bull and save them. But as the market remains bearish, the optimists become pessimists, quit the profession, and return to their day jobs. This is when the real professional investors re-enter the market.

Though she be but little, she is fierce.

I’d rather be optimistic and wrong than pessimistic and right.

Obviously I faced the possibility of not returning when first I considered going. Once faced and settled there really wasn’t any good reason to refer to it.

The truth is, somebody is always talking about you, so you have to let it go… if it’s not a part of your God-given destiny.

There is no such thing as bad weather, only different kinds of good weather.

Most folks are as happy as they make up their minds to be.

Encouragement to all women is – let us try to offer help before we have to offer therapy. That is to say, let’s see if we can’t prevent being ill by trying to offer a love of prevention before illness.

We can’t help everyone, but everyone can help someone.

Over the years, I’ve learned that a confident person doesn’t concentrate or focus on their weaknesses – they maximize their strengths.

Today you are you! That is truer than true! There is no one alive who is you-er than you!

What I’m asking for is hard. It’s easier to be cynical; to accept that change isn’t possible, and politics is hopeless, and to believe that our voices and actions don’t matter. But if we give up now, then we forsake a better future.

Laughter is not at all a bad beginning for a friendship, and it is far the best ending for one.

I was very blessed to have family and friends, but particularly family, who told me I was not only all right, I was just right, so I believe that my brain is a good one, and it’s lasting me very well.

Art is going to make a bigger comeback than ever. That’s the upside to things getting challenging.

It’s never paid to bet against America. We come through things, but its not always a smooth ride.

The secret of happiness is this: let your interests be as wide as possible, and let your reactions to the things and persons that interest you be as far as possible friendly rather than hostile.

Every noble work is at first impossible.

If you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen.

Protect your enthusiasm from the negativity of others.

Anything’s possible if you’ve got enough nerve.

If you can speak what you will never hear, if you can write what you will never read, you have done rare things.

You make yourself broad. You make yourself appealing. ‚Hey, y’all, I’m cool with everybody.‘ That’s my message.

Someday, after mastering the winds, the waves, the tides and gravity, we shall harness for God the energies of love, and then, for a second time in the history of the world, man will have discovered fire.

Never look back unless you are planning to go that way.

Come, gentlemen, I hope we shall drink down all unkindness.

A day without laughter is a day wasted.

Better a little which is well done, than a great deal imperfectly.

Human development thus far has been fueled and guided by the feeling that things could be, and are probably going to be, better.

I’m an idealist without illusions.

Everyone has the potential to become an encourager. You don’t have to be rich. You don’t have to be a genius. You don’t have to have it all together. All you have to do is care about people and initiate.

Nature study will show you how full of beautiful and wonderful things God has made the world for you to enjoy. Be contented with what you have got and make the best of it. Look on the bright side of things instead of the gloomy one.

If it had been possible to build the Tower of Babel without climbing it, it would have been permitted.

If I can put one touch of rosy sunset into the life of any man or woman, I shall feel that I have worked with God.

I don’t know what can be so dangerous about giving people hope. Causing people to have better relationships. I’m not leading them to some false God or something like that.

If you’re in a workplace you don’t like right now, be encouraged because God will use it for your good. Think about it this way: He wants you to be a light in the darkness – and He’s putting His confidence in you!

I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear.

There is no hope unmingled with fear, and no fear unmingled with hope.

Smiling is very important. If we are not able to smile, then the world will not have peace. It is not by going out for a demonstration against nuclear missiles that we can bring about peace. It is with our capacity of smiling, breathing, and being peace that we can make peace.

The only thing worse than being blind is having sight but no vision.
