It is said that your life flashes before your eyes just before you die. That is true, it's called Life.
Terry Pratchett
One does not need buildings, money, power, or status to practice the Art of Peace. Heaven is right where you are standing, and that is the place to train.
Morihei Ueshiba
My uncle worked in emergency wards dealing with people who came in with terrible injuries. He talked about the sketch shows they would put on to lighten the atmosphere. You often find this sense of grim humor in hospitals. The injuries people are suffering are ghastly. You have to laugh at something or you'd otherwise cry.
Honeysuckle Weeks
My mom taught me the power of love. I learned to focus on the long-term big picture from my father. His sense of humor and light-hearted approach always make me smile. My husband is a pivotal anchor in my life. His influence encourages me to be independent and take risks.
Padmasree Warrior
If you love someone, you say it, right then, out loud. Otherwise, the moment just passes you by.
Julia Roberts
You all know that I have been sustained throughout my life by three saving graces - my family, my friends, and a faith in the power of resilience and hope. These graces have carried me through difficult times and they have brought more joy to the good times than I ever could have imagined.
Elizabeth Edwards
I speak to everyone in the same way, whether he is the garbage man or the president of the university.
Albert Einstein
Happiness is something that comes into our lives through doors we don't even remember leaving open.
Rose Wilder Lane
We should measure welfare's success by how many people leave welfare, not by how many are added.
Ronald Reagan
Humor brings insight and tolerance. Irony brings a deeper and less friendly understanding.
Agnes Repplier
Honest good humor is the oil and wine of a merry meeting, and there is no jovial companionship equal to that where the jokes are rather small and laughter abundant.
Washington Irving
