“Journey quietly on your pathway to forever with charity & a smile. When you depart it will be said by all that your legacy was a better world than the one you found.”

And so long as I can laugh, never will I be poor. This then, is one of nature’s greatest gifts and I will waste it no more.

I will greet this day with love in my heart. For this is the greatest secret of success in all ventures. Muscles can split a shield and even destroy life itself but only the unseen power of love can open the hearts of man.

I will laugh at the world! Never will I allow myself to become so important, so wise, so dignified, so powerful, that I forget how to laugh at myself and my world. And so long as I can Laugh never will I be poor.

So long as there is breath in me, that long I will persist. For now I know one of the greatest principles on success; if I persist long enough I will win.

The greatest legacy we can leave our children is happy memories.

With no goals, no priorities, no life strategy of our own, we drift with the herd through an endless meadow of mediocrity, unable to break loose, to achieve even a small part of the dreams we once cherished.

True happiness lies within you.

The weakest living creature, by concentrating his powers on a single object, can accomplish good results while the strongest, by dispersing his effort over many chores, may fail to accomplish anything.

In truth, the only difference between those who have failed and those who have succeeded lies in the difference of their habits.

Without enthusiasm you are doomed to a life of mediocrity, but with it you can accomplish miracles.

My dreams are worthless, my plans are dust, my goals are impossible. All are of no value unless they are followed by action.

Each day is a special gift from God, and while life may not always be fair, you must never allow the pains, hurdles, and handicaps of the moment to poison your attitude and plans for yourself and your future.

All the gold in the world cannot buy a dying man one more breath so what does that make today worth?

Never feel shame for trying and failing, for he who never failed is he who never tried.

A smile remains the most inexpensive gift I can bestow on anyone and yet its powers can vanquish kingdoms.

Already I am smiling in anticipation of the good to come.

Drink wine. This is life eternal. This is all that youth will give you. It is the season for wine, roses and drunken friends. Be happy for this moment. This moment is your life.

The now that passes produces time, the now that remains produces eternity.

It is inaccurate to say that I hate everything. I am strongly in favor of common sense, common honesty, and common decency. This makes me forever ineligible for public office.

I will forever commit to those that push my buttons but make me a better person.

I’ll trust in God’s unchanging Word, till soul and body sever. For though all things pass away, His Word shall stand forever.

With age come the inner, the higher life. Who would be forever young, to dwell always in externals?

I wouldn’t mind living with someone forever. I don’t really want to get married. I don’t see any reason for it. And yet I’m so romantic that every time I think I meet someone I want to live with them forever and ever.

Things that are seen are temporal; things that are unseen are eternal.
