The world is a beautiful book, for those who can read it.

"We must laugh at man, to avoid crying for him" Napoleon

The World: A comedy for thinkers; a tragedy for feelers.

Born crying, live complaining, die disappointed.

Raising your voice does not reinforce your argument.

Words are not food, though sometimes we must eat them.

The greatest fault is to be conscious of none.

Chance makes our parents, but choice makes our friends.

To live in the hearts we leave behind, is not to die.

Life is a tragedy for feelers and a comedy for thinkers.

Without love and trust all you can be in life is alone.

When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you
was smiling.
Live your life so that when you die, You are the one smiling
and everyone around you is crying.

No where on your birth certificate did it say life would be
fair.

Don't be afraid of fear, let it be afraid of you...

The deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain. ~ Kahlil Gibran
