Johnny Cash "You build on failure. You use it as a stepping stone. Close the door on the past. You don't try to forget the mistakes, but you don't dwell on it. You don't let it have any of your energy, or any of your time, or any of your space." Hannah Bronfman "Don't forget to tell yourself positive things daily! You must love yourself internally to glow externally." John Ruskin "A little thought and a little kindness are often worth more than a great deal of money." William Arthur Ward "A cloudy day is no match for a sunny disposition." Ausonius "Let us never know what old age is. Let us know the happiness time brings, not count the years." |
