My heart is signing with joy this morning.

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.

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

Whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.

Affirmation of life is the spiritual act by which man ceases to live unreflectively and begins to devote himself to his life with reverence in order to raise it to its true value.

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

Affirmation is an internal positive statement that supports an external outcome.

A kind heart is a fountain of gladness, making everything in its vicinity freshen into smiles.

I would rather be able to appreciate things I can not have than to have things I am not able to appreciate.

No duty is more urgent than giving thanks.

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

The essence of all beautiful art, all great art, is gratitude.

There are slavish souls who carry their appreciation of favors done them so far that they strangle themselves with the rope of gratitude.

I would maintain that thanks are the highest form of thought; and that gratitude is happiness doubled by wonder.

Hold every moment sacred. Give each clarity and meaning, each the weight of thine awareness, each its true and due fulfillment.

We don’t need more to be thankful for, we just need to be more 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.

Acknowledging the good that you already have in your life is the foundation for all abundance.

A human being has a natural desire to have more of a good thing than they need.

Any one thing in creation is sufficient to demonstrate a Providence to a humble and grateful mind.

Between what is said and not meant, and what is meant and not said, most of love is lost.

Think lovingly, speak lovingly, act lovingly, and every need shall be supplied.

Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, have governed my life: the longing for love, the search for knowledge, and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind.

I define love thus: The will to extend one's self for the purpose of nurturing one's own or another's spiritual growth.

To have and to hold from this day forward, for better for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death do us part.

No one is born hating another person because of the colour of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.

Lord, make me an instrument of Your peace. Where there is hatred let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; and where there is sadness, joy.

The only abnormality is the incapacity to love.

Do not hire a man who does your work for money but him who does it for love of it.

Truth is so obscure in these times, and falsehood so established that, unless we love the truth, we cannot know it.

How much time he gains who does not look to see what his neighbor says or does or thinks, but only at what he does himself, to make it just and holy.

First ask yourself: What is the worst that can happen? Then prepare to accept it. The proceed to improve on the worst.

As a rule, we find what we look for; we achieve what we get ready for.

If a man knows not to which port he sails, no wind is favorable.

Most people die with their music still locked up inside them.

Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.

When you are enthusiastic about what you do, you feel this positive energy. It’s very simple.

If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he as imagined, he will meet with success unexpectedly in common hours.

It is not uncommon for people to spend their whole life waiting to start living.

The higher you soar the smaller we appear to those who cannot fly.

Dying is nothing. What is terrible is not to live.
