What you believe is more important than what you possess. What you live is more lasting than what you profess. Whom you inspire is more significant than whom you impress.

Success never resides in the world of weak wishes, but in the palace of purposeful plans and prayerful persistence.

A pinch of praise is worth a pound of scorn. A dash of encouragement is more helpful than a dipper of pessimism. A cup of kindness is better than a cupboard of criticism.

For each new morning with its light, For rest and shelter of the night, For health and food, for love and friends. Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it.

If you can imagine it, you can achieve it. If you can dream it, you can become it.

We are more than what we do much more than what we accomplish far more than what we possess.

If it is meant to be yours, It will come back one day.

I realize I waited too long but please don’t move on.

Even an understanding heart gets fed up of understanding.

Do not settle for someone who has zero regards for your feelings.

You hurt different when you really care about someone.

When everything is uncertain, everything that’s important becomes clear.

Letting go of something old makes space for something better to grow.

Don’t put effort into people who didn’t give it back.
