Words to Live By....

I've been super busy, with lots to blog about, which I will get to soon, but in the meantime...I've given you something to read...some food for thought...




Dreams pass into the reality of action. From the actions stems the dream again; and this interdependence produces the highest form of living.


The good life is inspired by love and guided by knowledge.


Gratefulness is the key to a happy life that we hold in our hands, because if we are not grateful, then no matter how much we have we will not be happy -- because we will always want to have something else or something more.


Good character is more to be praised than outstanding talent. Most talents are, to some extent, a gift. Good character, by contrast, is not given to us. We have to build it, piece by piece -- by thought, choice, courage, and determination.


Love measures our stature: the more we love, the bigger we are. There is no smaller package in all the world than that of a man all wrapped up in himself.


Life is so constructed that an event does not, cannot, will not, match the expectation....


Life is like an onion: You peel it off one layer at a time, and sometimes you weep...


We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.

A good heart is better than all the heads in the world.
