I may never see tomorrow; there's no written guarantee.
And things that happened yesterday belong to history.
I cannot predict the future, I cannot change the past.
I have just the present moment, I must treat it as my last.
I must use this moment wisely for it soon will pass away,
And be lost to me forever as part of yesterday.
I must exercise compassion, help the fallen to their feet,
Be a friend unto the friendless, make an empty life complete.
The unkind things I do today may never be undone,
And friendships that I fail to win may nevermore be won.
I may not have another chance on bended knee to pray,
And thank God with humble heart for giving me this day.

The most beautiful action in the world is to love.
The second most beautiful is to give.

Dear God,
When I am lonely and,
Perhaps I feel despair.
Let not my ailing heart forget,
That YOU hear every prayer..

Remind me that no matter what,
I do or fail to do,
There still is hope for as long
As I have FAITH in YOU..

Let not my eyes be blinded by
Some folly I commit.
But help me to regret my wrong,
And to make up for it..

Inspire me to put my fears,
Upon a hidden shelf,
And in the future never to
Be sorry for myself.

Give me the restful sleep I need,
Before another dawn,
And bless me in the morning with
The Courage To Go On..

You can give without loving,
but you can not love without giving.

To the world you might be one person;
but to one person you might be the world.

Going to church doesn't make you a Christian
any more than going to McDonald's makes you a hamburger.

Real friends are those who, when you feel
you've made a fool of yourself,
don't feel you've done a permanent job.

A coincidence is when God performs a miracle
and decides to remain anonymous.

Sometimes the majority only means that all
the fools are on the same side.

I don't have to attend every
argument I'm invited to.

Lead your life so you won't be ashamed
to sell the family parrot to the town gossip.

People gather bundles of sticks to build
bridges they never cross.

Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% of how you respond to it.

Life is like an onion;
you peel off one layer at a time and sometimes you weep.

Learn from the mistakes of others.
You can't live long enough to make them all yourself.

There are two things I have learned:
There is a God. And I'm not Him.

"What greater thing is there for two human souls
than to feel that they are joined together
to strengthen each other in all labour,
to minister to each other in all sorrow,
to share with each other in all gladness,
to be one with each other
in the silent unspoken memories."
George Elliot

Love wasn't put in your heart to stay.
Love isn't love til it's given away.

Finding happiness does not require a miracle, but an
appreciation of the miraculous often helps.

The place where the sun isn't shining now will be
illuminated in a few hours.

When your own shadow is blocking the light,
step aside and look inside.

When you are angry, count to ten; the bad feelings will diminish.
When you are happy, count until you tire; the pleasure will be prolonged.

Strive for good health; seek lasting friendships;
permit joy to enter your sphere;
let your actions be governed by a sense of honor;
and happiness will come unbidden.
