"To each there comes in their lifetime a special moment when they are figuratively tapped on the shoulder and offered the chance to do a very special thing, unique to them and fitted to their talents. What a tragedy if that moment finds them unprepared or unqualified for that which could have been this finest hour." ~Winston Churchill
"I still find each day too short for all the thoughts I want to think, all the walks I want to take, all the books I want to read, and all the friends I want to see." ~John Burroughs
"Happiness is not the absence of problems; it's the ability to deal with them." ~Steve Maraboli
"You couldn't erase the past. You couldn't even change it. But sometimes life offered you the opportunity to put it right." ~Ann Brashares
"Sadness gives depth. Happiness gives height. Sadness gives roots. Happiness gives branches. Happiness is like a tree going to the sky, and sadness is like the roots going down into the womb of the earth. Both are needed, and the higher a tree goes, the deeper it goes, simultaneously. The bigger the tree, the bigger be it's roots. In fact, it is always in proportion. That's it's balance." ~Osho
