There are moments in life,
 when you miss someone so much,
that you want to pick them,
 from your dreams and hug them.

 Dream what you want to dream.
 Go where you want to go.
 Be what you want to be.
 Because you have only one life,
and one chance to do all the things you want to do.

 May you have enough happiness to make you sweet.
 Enough trials to make you strong,
 Enough sorrow to keep you human.
 Enough hope to make you happy.

 Always put yourself in others' shoes.
 If you feel that it hurts you,
 it probably hurts the other person, too.

 The happiest of people don't necessarily
 have the best of everything;
They just make the most of everything,
 that comes along their way.

 Happiness lives for those who cry,
 those who hurt, have searched,
and those who tried.
For only they can appreciate
 the importance of people, who have touched
their lives.

 Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss,
 and ends with a tear.
The brightest future will always be based on
a forgotten past.
 You can't go on, well in life, until you let
 go of your past failures, and heartaches.

 When you were born, you were crying,
 and everyone around you was smiling.
 Live your life, so, that when you die,
 you're the one who is smiling, and everyone around you, is crying.

 All great achievements require time

- David J. Schwartz

My mother drew a distinction between achievement and success.  She said that achievement is the knowledge that you have studied and worked hard and done the best that is in you.  Success is being praised by others.  That is nice but not as important or satisfying.  Always aim for achievement and forget about success.

- Helen Hayes (famous actress)

Great things are not done by impulse, but by a series of small things brought together. -  - Vincent Van Gogh (painter)
