Start each day with a positive thought and a grateful heart.

Be thankful for everything that happens in your life; it’s all an experience.

Do what is right, not what is easy nor what is popular.

Integrity is doing the right thing when nobody’s watching, and doing as you say you would do.

Accept yourself, love yourself, and keep moving forward. If you want to fly, you have to give up what weighs you down.

Darkness attracts me, it’s the only time, I can cry in peace.

The problem of the twentieth century is the problem of the color-line, — the relation of the darker to the lighter races of men in Asia and Africa, in America and the islands of the sea.

And Spring arose on the garden fair, Like the Spirit of Love felt everywhere; And each flower and herb on Earth’s dark breast rose from the dreams of its wintry rest.
