The more tranquil a man becomes,

The greater is his success,

His influence, his power for good.

Calmness of mind is one of the

Beautiful jewels of wisdom.

- James Allen

 

At the end of the day it’s

NOT about what you have

Or even what you’ve accomplished

… It’s about who you’ve lifted up,

Who you’ve made better.  

It’s about what you’ve given back. 

- Denzel Washington

 

Often people attempt to live

Their lives backwards;

They try to have more things,

Or more money, in order to do

More of what they want so that

They will be happier.

The way it actually works is the

Reverse.  

You must first BE who you really are,

Then, DO what you need to do,

In order to HAVE what you want.

- Margaret Young

 

 

 

021623 quotes

True philanthropy often meets

in the middle upon this act . . .

whether paying it forward,

or giving it back.

- Timothy Mattson

 

It wasn't the reward that mattered

or the recognition you might harvest.

It was your depth of commitment,

your quality of service,

the product of your devotion…

these were the things that counted in a life.

When you gave purely,

the honor came in the giving,

and that was honor enough.

- Scott O’Grady

 

Realize that true happiness lies within you.

Waste no time and effort searching for peace

and contentment and joy in the world outside.

Remember that there is no happiness in having

or in getting, but only in giving.

Reach out. Share. Smile. Hug.

Happiness is a perfume you cannot pour on

others without getting a few drops on yourself.

- Og Mandino

Whatever the mind of man

Can conceive and believe,

It can achieve.

- W. Clement Stone

 

Give light,

And the darkness will

Disappear of itself.

- Desiderius Erasmus

 

The measure of who we are

Is what we do with what we

Have.

Something That We Do…

I remember well the day we wed
I can see that picture in my head
I still believe the words we said
Forever will ring true
Love is certain, love is kind
Love is yours and love is mine
But it isn't somethin' that we find
It's somethin' that we do

- Skip Ewing, Clint Black

 

 

The Twelfth Of Never…

You ask how much I need you, must I explain?
I need you, oh, my darling, like roses need rain
You ask how long I'll love you; I'll tell you true:
Until the twelfth of never, I'll still be loving you

Hold me close, never let me go
Hold me close, melt my heart like April snow

I'll love you till the bluebells forget to bloom;
I'll love you till the clover has lost its perfume
I'll love you till the poets run out of rhyme

Until the twelfth of never and that's a long, long time
Until the twelfth of never and that's a long, long time

 

- Paul Francis Webster / Jerry Livingston

We’ll have forever.

What love we fail to give,

Will be lost for all eternity.

Love is always bestowed as a gift…

Freely, willingly and without expectation.

Only when we give joyfully,

Without hesitation or thought of gain,

Can we truly know what love means.
