Life is what we make it,
always has been,
always will be.

Grandma Moses
I like living. I have sometimes been wildly, despairingly,
acutely miserable, wracked with sorrow, but through it all I still
know quite certainly that just to be alive is a grand thing.

Agatha Christie
Our way is not soft grass,
it's a mountain path with lots of rocks.
But it goes upwards, forward, toward the sun.

Life's under no obligation to give us what we expect.

Margaret Mitchell
You may have a fresh start any moment you choose,
for this thing we call "failure" is not the falling down, but the
staying down.

Mary Pickford
When you get into a tight place and everything goes against you,
till it seems as though you could not hang on one minute longer,
never give up then, for that is just the place and time that the
tide will change.

Harriet Beecher Stowe
Life's challenges are not supposed to paralyze you,
they are supposed to help you discover who you are.

Yesterday is a cancelled check
Tomorrow is a promissory note
Today is cash in hand; spend it wisely

Happily may I walk,
May it be beautiful before me,
May it be beautiful behind me,
May it be beautiful below me,
Mayr it be beautiful above me,
May it be beautiful all around me,
In beauty it is finished.
