“Not every day can be an easy one, nor every day fully happy; but even a day of tough going and difficulty can be a good day.”

Scatter good will and love and prayers all around, everywhere, and you will be astonished, not only by what it does for other people, but how it comes back to you in generous abundance.

Every person, if he is to have mental health and live successfully, must move away from past failures and mistakes and go forward without letting them be a weight upon him. The art of forgetting is absolutely necessary.

Put your trust in God and just go calmly on your way.

Frequently remind yourself that God is with you, that He will never fail you, that you can count upon him. Say these words, “God is with me, helping me.”

Promise yourself success at the beginning of each day, and you’ll be surprised how often things will turn out that way.

Fear is never a reason for quitting; it is only an excuse.

Believe that you are bigger than your difficulties, for you are, indeed.

Medication is of course important but do not conclude that a pill dissolving in your stomach is necessarily more powerful than a healing thought in your mind.

Four things for success: work and pray, think and believe.

Dwelling on negative thoughts is like fertilizing weeds.

God never made anyone else exactly like you, and he never will again. Thank him for yourself and then for all the rest of his glorious handiwork.

We tend to get what we expect.

Joy increases as you give it, and diminishes as you try to keep it for yourself.

The way to happiness: Keep your heart free from hate, your mind from worry. Live simply, expect little, give much. Scatter sunshine, forget self, think of others. Try this for a week and you will be surprised.

Live your life and forget your age.

Change your thoughts and you change your world.

I want a love that meets me half way. A love filled with chivalry as if it were written in old days.

In each passing day, I hope I love you less but somehow this love stays and my heart is yours nonetheless.

A bad word from a colleague can darken a whole day. We need encouragement a lot more than we admit, even to ourselves.

I take it not only a day at a time, but a moment at a time, and keep it at that pace. If you can be happy right now, then you’ll always be happy, because it’s always in the now

One day you’ll grow tired of people who don’t love you back.

Master the morning and you will rule the day.

They say time is measured in days, months and beards.

Encouragement is awesome. Think about it. It has the capacity to lift a man’s or a woman’s shoulders. To breathe fresh air into the fading embers of a smoldering dream. To actually change the course of another human being’s day, week, or life.
