The Glory Of Friendship
The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand, nor the kindly smile, nor the joy of companionship; it is the spiritual inspiration that comes to you when you discover that someone else believes in you and is willing to trust you with a friendship.

Yesterday is history,
Tomorow is a mystery,
Today is a gift ...
That's why they call it the present.

I would rather live my life as if there is a God
And die to find there isn't
Than live my life as if there isn't
And die to find there is

When one door of happiness closes another opens
But often we look so long at the closed door

If you want happiness for an hour take a nap.
If you want happiness for a day go fishing.
If you want happiness for a year inherit a fortune.
If you want happiness for a lifetime help someone else.

It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died
Rather we should thank God that such men lived.

If you learn from your suffering, and really come to understand the lesson you were taught you might be able to help someone else who's now in the phase you have just completed
Maybe that's what it's all about after all...

It is the Law that any difficulties that can come to you at any time, no matter what they are, must be exactly what you need most at the moment, to enable you to take the next step forward by overcoming them. The only real misfortune, the only real tragedy, comes when we suffer without learning the lesson

The limits inside which you live are largely of your own making. They bind you or they vanish at your command. You can hide inside them or you can grow beyond them.

If you can value truth above approval
and friendship, over power, wealth or fame
If you can share your gifts and talents wisely
leaving someone better off than when you came
If you find happiness in simple pleasures
see the rainbow not the falling rain
If you have faith to keep right on believing
in miracles that no one can explain
If you live every day to your potential
and find good in everything you see
Then you'll be not just happy and successful
but the person only you were meant to be

You cannot change the world,but you can present the world with one improved person, yourself. You can go to work on yourself to make yourself into the kind of person you admire and respect. You can become a role model
and set a standard for others. You can control and discipline yourself to resist acting or speaking in a negative way toward anyone for any reason. You can insist upon always doing things the loving way rather than the hurtful way. By doing these things each day, you can continue on your journey toward becoming an exceptional human being.

Your life is the sum result of all the choices you make, both consciously and unconsciously. If you can control the process of choosing, you can take control of all aspects of your life. You can find the freedom that comes from being in charge of yourself

Some people succeed in spite of hardships. Others succeed because of them. The truth is, our problems help to make us what we are. Those who suffer often learn the value of compassion. Those who struggle often learn perseverance. And those who fall down often teach others how to rise again. Our troubles can shape us in ways a carefree existence cannot.

Why should we be in such desparate haste to succeed and in such desparate enterprises?
If a man does not keep pace with his companions perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer.
Let him step to the music which he hears. However measured and far away.
