Turn a Life around....

Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around. ~Leo Buscaglia

The world will see...

Present yourself always
As who you would be,
And that is the person
The world will see.
~Robert Brault.

Burst Free...

I feel my body, my mind, weighted down - all is heavy - but my blood, my inner fire, my passion, the little unburdened kid in me, patiently wait to burst free. Some of us die never having burst. -Drew Sirtors

One great big joke...

My life has been one great big joke,
A dance that's walked,
A song that's spoke,
I laugh so hard I almost choke,
When I think about myself.
~Maya Angelou

Looking back....

Looking back, you realize that a very special person passed briefly through your life, and that person was you. It is not too late to become that person again. ~Robert Brault.

I never really...

I never really look for anything. What God throws my way comes. I wake up in the morning and whichever way God turns my feet, I go. ~Pearl Bailey

Set of Attitudes.....

A happy person is not a person in a certain set of circumstances, but rather a person with a certain set of attitudes. ~Hugh Downs

The first or the last time...

Look at everything as though you were seeing it either for the first or last time. ~Betty Smith

Mysterious...

Hair brings one's self-image into focus; it is vanity's proving ground. Hair is terribly personal, a tangle of mysterious prejudices. ~Shana Alexander

I Love the Sweet Smell...

I love the sweet smell of dawn -
our unique daily opportunity to smell time,
to smell opportunity -
each morning being, a new beginning.
~Emme Woodhull-Bäche

Spirit....

What he had yearned to embrace was not the flesh but a downy spirit, a spark, the impalpable angel that inhabits the flesh. ~Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, Wind, Sand and Stars, 1939, translated from French by Lewis Galantière

The windows of my soul...

The windows of my soul I throw
Wide open to the sun.
~John Greenleaf Whittier, My Psalm

Until you know...

Until you know that life is interesting - and find it so - you haven't found your soul. ~Geoffrey Fisher

I think...

I think your whole life shows in your face and you should be proud of that. ~Lauren Bacall

Glance of the eye...

An eye can threaten like a loaded and levelled gun, or it can insult like hissing or kicking; or, in its altered mood, by beams of kindness, it can make the heart dance for joy.... One of the most wonderful things in nature is a glance of the eye; it transcends speech; it is the bodily symbol of identity. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson

Hide...

Hide the dark parts, except so far as they are breaking out in light! Give this one day to thanks, to joy, to gratitude! ~Henry Ward Beecher ...

Do not judge....

Do not judge from mere appearances; for the lift laughter that bubbles on the lip often mantles over the depths of sadness, and the serious look may be the sober veil that covers a divine peace and joy. The bosom can ache beneath diamond brooches; and many a blithe heart dances under coarse wool. ~Edwin Hubbel Chapin

My crown is in my heart..

My crown is in my heart, not in my head,Nor decked with diamonds and Indian stones,Nor to be seen; my crown is called contentment;A crown it is, that seldom kings enjoy.~William Shakespeare

You're the precious one..

Clasp my love around your neck,Wear my heart on your finger.My soul will be your pendant:I live to adorn you -You're the precious one.~Grey Livingston, "Genuine Adoration"

Give....

If you give what can be taken, you are not really giving. Take what you are given, not what you want to be given. Give what cannot be taken. ~Idries S

She is mine own..

She is mine own,
And I as rich in having such a jewel
As twenty seas, if all their sand were pearl,
The water nectar, and the rocks pure gold.
~William Shakespeare

You taught me....

You taught me to be nice, so nice that now I am so full of niceness, I have no sense of right and wrong, no outrage, no passion. ~Garrison Keillor

As the Angels give....

If instead of a gem, or even a flower, we should cast the gift of a loving thought into the heart of a friend, that would be giving as the angels give. ~George MacDonald

Felt like love....

I hated him with a passion so deep, sometimes it felt like love. ~The Quote Garden

My heart beat...

My heart beat so hard when I was near him, I feared he could hear my secret longing for him. ~Destiny Vaestus

The hand of the woman..

Let men tremble to win the hand of woman, unless they win along with it the utmost passion of her heart! Else it may be their miserable fortune, when some mightier touch than their own may have awakened all her sensibilities, to be reproached even for the calm content, the marble image of happiness, which they will have imposed upon her as the warm reality. ~Nathaniel Hawthorne, The Scarlet Letter

Diamond Stars...

The jeweler allows me to wear the sapphire blue lake on my finger, the emerald green leaves around my neck, and take the citrine sunset with me wherever I go. Jewelry has become my daytime link to nature in an office with no windows. And if I have to work late, there's nothing like diamond stars and a pearl full moon against an onyx night sky. ~Astrid Alauda, "Office With No Windows
