“Remember that the most valuable antiques are dear old friends.”

Never give up on what you really want to do

Think big thoughts but relish small pleasures.

A friend is someone who knows you and loves you for what you were and who you are, and who also shares your hopes and dreams for who you can become.

Life is slippery. Here, take my hand.

After you’ve work hard to get what you want, take the time to enjoy it.

Live so that when your children think of fairness, caring, and integrity, they think of you.

People who accomplish big things did small things well.

Love is when the other person’s happiness is more important than your own.

Get your priorities straight. No one ever said on his death bed, ‘Gee, if I’d only spent more time at the office.’

Don’t flaunt your success, but don’t apologize for it either.

Choose your life’s mate carefully. From this one decision will come 90 percent of all your happiness or misery.

Always kiss your children goodnight, even if they’re already asleep.

Good character is more to be praised than outstanding talent. Most talents are, to some extent, a gift. Good character, by contrast, is not given to us. We have to build it, piece by piece – by thought, choice, courage, and determination.

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.

Opportunity dances with those already on the dance floor.

Let perseverance be your engine and hope your fuel.

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

For great men, religion is a way of making friends; small people make religion a fighting tool.

We all need someone to listen to us.

The truth is, everyone is going to hurt you. You just got to find the ones worth suffering for.

Friendship is the heaven of life.

There is no love without friendship. Passion alone does not form relationships of value.

Friendship is born from an identity of spiritual goals – from common navigation toward a star.

You are a success when you have made friends with your past, are focused on the present, and are optimistic about your future
