1. There are three kinds of people in the world: those who make things happen, those who watch things happen, and those who wonder what happened. (Which are you?)

2. When you were born, you cried and everyone else was happy. Live your life in such a way that when you die, you will be happy and everyone else will cry.

3. Lord, when we are wrong, make us willing to change. When we are right, make us easy to live with.

4. If you worry about what might be and wonder about what might have been, you will miss what is.

5. Don’t worry about what people are thinking about you for they are not thinking about you. They are wondering what you are thinking about them.

6. There are two kinds of people in the world: those who brighten a room when they enter; and those who brighten the room when they leave.

7. Forgiveness is the fragrance the violet shed on the heel that has crushed it.

8. In times like these, it helps to recall that there have always been times like these.
