Keep a good tongue in your head.

I had long since taught myself to follow the inner voice. I delighted in submitting to it. To act against it would be difficult and painful to me.

Praise God, from whom all blessings flow! Praise Him, all creatures here below! Praise Him above, ye heavenly host! Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost!

My own art is a negation of society, an affirmation of the individual, outside all rules and demands of society.

When you realize there is nothing lacking, the whole world belongs to you.

Live each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit, and resign yourself to the influences of each.

I know how hard it is to shoot the basketball, so I've got great appreciation for it.

Feelings of worth can flourish only in an atmosphere where individual differences are appreciated, mistakes are tolerated, communication is open, and rules are flexible. The kind of atmosphere that is found in a nurturing family.

To criticize is to appreciate, to appropriate, to take intellectual possession, to establish in fine a relation with the criticized thing and to make it one's own.

As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.

Your depression is connected to your insolence and refusal to praise.

Let us rise up and be thankful, for if we didn’t learn a lot today, at least we learned a little, and if we didn’t learn a little, at least we didn’t get sick, and if we got sick, at least we didn’t die; so, let us all be thankful.

If you must look back, do so forgivingly. If you must look forward, do so prayerfully. However, the wisest thing you can do is be present in the present...gratefully.

Be present in all things and thankful for all things.

Seek not, my soul, the life of the immortals; but enjoy to the full resources that are within thy reach.

The greatness of a man is not in how much wealth he acquires, but in his integrity and his ability to affect those around him positively.

Be like the flower, turn your face to the sun.

The more light you allow within you, the brighter the world you live in will be.

The optimist sees the rose and not its thorns; the pessimist stares at the thorns, oblivious of the rose.
