Life Quote #1
“Promise yourself to be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind. Speak of health, happiness, and prosperity to every person that you meet. To make all your friends aware of the special qualities within them. To look at the sunny side of everything and let your optimism work to make your dreams come true. To think, work for, and expect only the best. To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others, as you are about your own. To forget past mistakes and press toward a greater future. To wear a cheerful countenance at all times, as a smile radiate warmth and love. To get so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time left to criticize others. To be too wise for worry, to tolerance for anger, and to courageous for fear. To be happy.” – Anonymous

Life Quote #4
“Whenever you experience the pangs of losing something, don’t treat it like a part of yourself but is a breakable glass, so when it falls you will remember that and won’t be troubled. So too, whenever you kiss your child, sibling or friend, don’t layer on top of the experience all the things you might wish, but hold them back and stop them, just as those right behind triumph and generals remind them that they are mortal. In the same way, remind yourself that your precious one is it one of your possessions but something given for now not forever” – Epictetus, Discourses

Life Quote #7
“Difficulties show a person’s character. So when a challenge confronts you, remember that God is matching you with a younger sparring partner, as would a physical trainer. Why? Becoming an Olympian take sweat. I think no one has a better challenge than yours, if only you will use it like an athlete would that younger sparring partner.” – Epictetus , Discourses

Life Quote #10
“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. The longer I live, the more my mind dwells on the beauty and the wonder of the world.” – John Burroughs
Life Quote #11
“When you first rise in the morning tell yourself; I will encounter busybodies, ingrates, egomaniacs, liars, the jealous and cranks. They are all stricken with these afflictions because they don’t know the difference between good and evil. Because I have understood the beauty of good in the ugliness of evil, I know that these wrong-doers are still akin to me… and that none can do me harm, or implicate me in ugliness – nor can I be angry at my relatives or hate them. For we are made for cooperation.” – Marcus Aurelius , Meditations

“Mistakes are part of the dues one pays for a full life.” – Sophia Loren
Life Quote #15
“How rotten and fraudulent when people say they intend to “give it to you straight”. What are you up to, dear friend? It shouldn’t need your announcement, but be readily seen, as it written on your forehead, heard in the ring of your voice, a flash in your eyes – just as the beloved sees it all in the lover’s glance. In short, the straightforward and good person should be like a smelly goat – you know when they’re in the room with you.“- Marcus Aurelius , Meditations
