“Life is hard but so very beautiful”

No man has a good enough memory to be a successful liar.

Tact: the ability to describe others as they see themselves.

If I were two-faced, would I be wearing this one?

To ease another’s heartache is to forget one’s own.

There are no bad pictures; that’s just how your face looks sometimes.

The Lord prefers common-looking people. That is why he made so many of them.

Elections belong to the people. It’s their decision. If they decide to turn their back on the fire and burn their behinds, then they will just have to sit on their blisters.

Die when I may, I want it said of me by those who knew me best, that I always plucked a thistle and planted a flower where I thought a flower would grow.

You have to do your own growing no matter how tall your grandfather was.

It has been my experience that folks who have no vices have very few virtues.

That some achieve great success, is proof to all that others can achieve it as well.

I am not concerned that you have fallen — I am concerned that you arise.

A friend is one who has the same enemies as you have.

All that I am or ever hope to be, I owe to my angel mother.

Be sure you put your feet in the right place, then stand firm.

My concern is not whether God is on our side; my greatest concern is to be on God’s side, for God is always right.

Your beauty once seen cannot be forgotten.

Though I kept missing you every day, I missed myself more when I wasn’t alone and finding my soul again was the most beautiful feeling I’ve ever felt.

There is a beautiful transparency to honest disciples who never wear a false face and do not pretend to be anything but who they are.

There is nothing more beautiful than someone who goes out of their way to make life beautiful for others.

Beauty for some provides escape, who gain a happiness in eyeing the gorgeous buttocks of the ape or Autumn sunsets exquisitely dying.

The flowers don’t get to choose when they die. But oh boy, when they live they are beautiful.

There is slow growth, but it is positive slow growth. At the same time, ratios of debt-to-incomes go down. That’s a beautiful deleveraging.

You don’t need to go far to find beauty. – you just need to start seeing yourself.
