Inspiring Quotes on Life

A life without purpose is a languid, drifting thing; Every day we ought to review our purpose, saying to ourselves: This day let me make a sound beginning, for what we have hitherto done is naught!

- Thomas A. Kempis

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

A happy life consists in tranquility of mind.
- Cicero

Life is a great big canvas, and you should throw all the paint on it you can.

- Danny Kaye

It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change.

- Charles Darwin

Our task is not to fix the blame for the past, but to fix the course for the future.

- John Fitzgerald Kennedy



To find fulfillment...don't exist with life - embrace it.
- Jim Beggs

A Smile Knows No Language Barriers

I was visiting my sister a couple of weeks ago and it was snowing hard, in between bursts of icy raindrops. My husband and I dived into a coffee shop for a quick burst of heat. Sitting there watching the rain run down the window and people battle with their umbrellas all I could focus on was the one girl standing outside of the shopping centre selling a homeless magazine. Her approach wasn't pushy, just to ask if anyone wanted to buy it and then avert her gaze to the puddles on the ground. So many people walked past weighed down by bags of goodies from the sales that I began to feel quite sad.

I sent my husband back to the counter to buy her what I had just enjoyed -- a big hot chocolate with cream. Her smile melted my heart when I handed it over to her. She was foreign so her English wasn't great, but a smile knows no language barriers. I toyed with the idea that maybe just buying her 'what I had' wasn't right and that I should go to ask her what she would like. But then I convinced myself that if I did ask her she might feel less happy to accept and so for a brief moment our lives were one. Ironically though, as she had a smile on her face, I had a tear in my eye - as if we'd swapped lives for a split second.

Life and Love . . .

If you’re looking for Love - Look where you’d least expect it,
If you found it but He or She hasn’t ‘found’ you
– Tell them slowly from the heart what they mean to you,

If you lost yours' and are hanging you head in pain
– Love yourself for a while, treat yourself and show yourself some love, You will Love again,

Your partner is out there ….your soul mate……….your Heart or rib Frame,
Love is an ocean there are ups and downs, tossing and turning,
It’s not the Ending place of the journey, nor where you begin
Like Life, Love is a journey,
It’s what comes between its birth and death that define its True meaning . . .

Be happy now.

or with your family.

We should have courage to work on the self is to find the beauty within. Situations come that challenge one's own strength. At such times the mind tends to become weak displaying weaknesses. Then there is no courage to look within. The one who is able to be introspective at that time is able to find a new learning. He is thus able to express the beauty that is lying within. When we understand that at each step of our life, situations come to bring out some quality from within, we'll never be afraid of situations. We'll have the courage to challenge our own assumptions and move forward based on the learning that we get and the beauty that we have been able to discover.
~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

GREAT Thought...

We are made to travel life's journey hand in hand.
There is someone ready to grasp your hand today...

And someone hoping you will take theirs.
Remember To Hang On To One Another!

Success Of Life

Though good may come of practice,
This primal truth endures;
The first time anything is done,
It's done by amateurs.
- Art Buck

I am done with great things and big plans, great institutions and big success. I am for those tiny, invisible, loving, human forces that work from individual to individual, creeping through the crannies of the world like so many rootlets, or like the capillary oozing of water, which, if given time, will rend the hardest monuments of pride.
- William James

The way to make a true friend is to be one. Friendship implies loyalty, esteem, cordiality, sympathy, affection, readiness to aid, to help, to stick, to fight for if need be. Radiate friendship and it will return sevenfold.
- B.C. Forbes

The wise learn many things from their enemies.
- Aristophanes, "The Birds"

It is no use saying "We are doing our best".
You have got to succeed in doing what is necessary.
- Sir Winston Churchill

People who change their way of life and begin to think about making spiritual progress also begin to suffer from the tongues of detractors. Whoever has not yet suffered this trial has not yet made progress, and whoever is not ready to suffer it does not even endeavor to progress.
- Aurelius Augustinus

What do we live for if not to make the world less difficult for each other?
