To laugh often and much; to win the respect of
intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation
of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate
beauty, to find the best in others; to leave the world a little better;
whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition;
to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is
the meaning of success." -Ralph Waldo Emerson |

| "Choice of attention -
to pay attention to this and ignore that - is to the inner life what choice
of action is to the outer. In both cases, a man is responsible for his choice
and must accept the consequences, whatever they may be." -W. H. Auden |

| "Finish each day and be done with it. You
have done what you could; some blunders and absurdities have crept in; forget
them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; you shall begin it serenely
and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense."
-Ralph Waldo Emerson |

| "The cure for all ills
and wrongs, the cares, the sorrows and the crimes of humanity, all lie in
the one word 'love.' It is the divine vitality that everywhere produces
and restores life." -Lydia Maria Child |
|||||
| "The great use of life is to spend it for
something that will outlast it." -William James |
|||||
| "Life consists not in
holding good cards but in playing those you hold well." -Josh Billings |
