“The human species, although happily ridiculous at times, is still reaching for the stars.”

The past can hurt. But the way I see it, you can either run from it, or learn from it.

That’s the real trouble with the world, too many people grow up.

If you act like an adult when you’re a kid you can afford to act like a kid the rest of your life.

Nothing is impossible.

If it can be dreamed, it can be done.

It’s silly to build a wall around your interests.

Many of the things that seem impossible now will become realities tomorrow.

I’m just corny enough to like to have a story hit me over the heart.

There is more treasure in books than in all the pirates’ loot on treasure Island.

God wisely designed the human body so that we can neither pat our own backs nor kick ourselves too easily.

The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing.

I do not like to repeat successes I like to go on to other things.

You can design and create, and build the most wonderful place in the world. But it takes people to make the dream a reality.

Let your heart guide you, it whispers so listen closely.

I always like to look on the optimistic side of life.

I function better when things are going badly than when they’re as smooth as whipped cream.

Never become bitter, and in the process, be happy and just go for it.

Indeed, man wishes to be happy even when he so lives as to make happiness impossible.

Keep smiling, because life is a beautiful thing and there’s so much to smile about.

Happiness is knowin’ you’ve done a good job, whether it’s professional or for another person.

A child is a curly, dimpled lunatic.

Where your pleasure is, there is your treasure: where your treasure, there your heart; where your heart, there your happiness.

Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.

You can be happy if you know this secret: Some things are within your power to control and some things are not.
