Cherish each hour of this day

I have found if you love life,
life will love you back.

Arthur Rubinstein


To give pleasure to a single heart by a single act
is better than a thousand heads
bowing in prayer.

Mahatma Gandhi


Cherish each hour of this day
for it can never return.

Og Mandino


Be master of your petty annoyances
and conserve your energies for the big, worthwhile things.
It isn't the mountain ahead that wears you out
it's the grain of sand in your shoe.

Robert Service


There is no failure
except in no longer trying.

Elbert Hubbard


If a person is confident enough in the way they feel,
whether it's an art form or whether it's just in life,
it comes off - you don't have anything to prove;
you can just be what you are.

Clint Eastwood


When life's problems seem overwhelming,
look around and see what other people are coping with.
You may consider yourself fortunate.

Ann Landers


Every morning, when we wake up,
we have twenty-four
brand new hours to live - what a precious gift.

Thich Nhat Hanh


Happiness is the consequence of personal effort.
You fight for it, you strive for it, insist upon it
and sometimes even travel around the world
looking for it.
And once you have achieved a state of happiness,
you must never become lax about it,
you must make a mighty effort to keep swimming
upwards into that happiness forever.

Elizabeth Gilbert
(extract from Eat, Pray, Love)


Some stories don't have a clear
beginning, middle and end.
Life is about not knowing, having to change,
taking the moments and making the best of it,
without knowing what's going to happen.
Delicious ambiguity.

Gilda Radner
