About Me


LIFE
"One way to get the most out of life is to look upon it as an adventure." ..William Feather
"Life is a pure flame, and we live by an invisible sun within us." Sir Thomas Brown
LOVE
"This was love at first sight, love everlasting: a feeling unknown, unhoped for, unexpected--in so far as it could be a matter of conscious awareness; it took entire possession of him, and he understood, with joyous amazement, that this was for life." Thomas Mann
HAPPINESS
"Happiness depends more on the inward disposition of mind than on outward circumstances." Benjamin Franklin
"There is only one way to happiness, and that is to cease worrying things which are beyond the power of our will." Epictetus
DREAMS
"I like the dreams of the future better than the history of the past." Patrick Henry
"Hold fast to dreams, for if dreams die, life is a broken winged bird that cannot fly." Lanston Hughes
TIME
"He lives long that lives well; and time misspent is not lived but lost." Thomas Fuller
"You will never "find" time for anything. If you want time, you must make it." Charles Bruxton
SUCCESS
"I cannot give you the formula for success, but I can give you the formula for failure--which is: Try to please everybody." Herbert Bayard Swope
"Success is the good fortune that comes from aspiration, desperation, perspiration and inspiration." Evan Esar
INSPIRATION
"If you would create something, you must be something." Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
"Every artist was first an amateur." Ralph Waldo Emerson
