Simply Said

“There are two kinds of people in the world: those who come into a room and say, ‘Here I am!’ and those who come in and say, ‘Ah, there you are!’”

“Nothing is good or bad… only thinking makes it so.”

“Never get so busy making a living that you forget to make a life.”

“Blessed are those who can give without remembering, 
and take without forgetting.”

“I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, 
people will forget what you did,
 but people will never forget how you made them feel.”

“This is the true joy in life, being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one. Being a force of nature instead of a feverish, selfish little clod of ailments and grievances, complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy. I am of the opinion that my life belongs to the whole community and as long as I live, it is my privilege to do for it what I can. I want to be thoroughly used up when I die, for the harder I work, the more I live. I rejoice in life for its own sake. Life is no brief candle to me. It is a sort of splendid torch which I have got hold of for the moment and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations.”
