“The more we count the blessings we have, the less we crave the luxuries we haven’t.”

Once trust is tarnished, it is hard to restore it to its original glow.

Forgiveness is a funny thing. It warms the heart and cools the sting.

God gave you a gift of 86,400 seconds today. Have you used one to say ‘thank you?’

A life lived without forgiveness is a prison.

‘If only’ is the excuse of the loser; ‘I can’ is the affirmation of the winner.

Adversity causes some men to break; others to break records.

The winner asks, “May I help?” The loser asks, “Do you expect me to do that?”

Love is more than a noun-it is a verb; it is more than a feeling-it is caring, sharing, helping, sacrificing.

Nothing limits achievement like small thinking; nothing expands possibilities like unleashed imagination.

It is wise to direct your anger towards problems – not people; to focus your energies on answers – not excuses.

Enthusiasm is the match that lights the candle of achievement.

Delays, disappointments and defeats cause quitters to give up in resignation; losers, to give in the frustration; winners, to come through with determination.

Commend while others are criticizing, persist while others are quitting.

To make mistakes is human; to stumble is commonplace; to be able to laugh at yourself is maturity.

The more patient we are, the more understanding we become.

God bless us everyone, we’re broken people living under a loaded gun.

People say I am lucky. I am lucky indeed because what can be better luck than to have the blessings of 125 crore Indians.

To bear many children is considered not only a religious blessing but also an investment. The greater their number, some Indians reason, the more alms they can beg.

Does it seem that everything is extravagance in the world, or rather madness, when you watch the way things go? A crowd of rogues enjoy blessings they have won by sheer injustice, while more honest folks are miserable and die of hunger.

One should always look to the end of everything, how it will finally come out. For the god has shown blessedness to many only to overturn them utterly in the end.

Count your blessings. Once you realize how valuable you are and how much you have going for you, the smiles will return, the sun will break out, the music will play, and you will finally be able to move forward the life that God intended for you with grace, strength, courage, and confidence.
