Life might not be the party that we hope for, but while we're here we might as well dance.
When it rains, look for rainbows and when it's dark look for stars.
Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass, it's about learning to dance in the rain.
There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.
Albert Einstein
You may believe that you are responsible for what you do, but not for what you think. The truth is that you are responsible for what you think, because it is only at this level that you can exercise choice. What you do comes from what you think.

Make a gift of your life and lift all mankind by being kind, considerate, forgiving, and compassionate at all times, in all places, and under all conditions, with everyone as well as yourself. This is the greatest gift anyone can give.
David R. Hawkins
In the practice of tolerance, one's enemy is the best teacher.
The clouds have parted and the way is clear.
Go forth, valiant spirit, without fear!
Free from all barriers of mortal pain
You will return again, and yet again
To demonstration, with Truth's untiring breath,
Life's continuity - there is no death!
I live for those who love me,
Whose hearts are kind and true;
For the heaven that smiles above me,
And awaits my coming too;
For all human ties that bind me,
For the task by God assigned me,
For the bright hopes yet to find me,
And the good that I can do.
I live to learn their story,
who suffered for my sake;
to emulate their glory,
And follow in their wake;
Bards, patriots, martyrs, sages,
The heroic of all ages,
Whose deeds crowd history's pages
And Time's great volume make.
I live to hold communion
With all that is divine
to feel there is a union
Twixt nature's heart and mine.
To profit by affliction
Reap truth from fields of fiction
Grown wiser by conviction
And fulfil God's grand design
I live to hail that season
By gifted ones foretold,
When men shall live by reason,
And not alone by Gold;
When man to man united
And every wrong thing righted,
The whole world shall be lighted,
With love and joy untold.
I live for those who love me,
For those know me true;
For the heaven that smiles above me,
And awaits my spirit too.
For the cause that lacks assistance,
For the wrong that needs resistance,
For the future is in the distance
and the good that I can do.
