GOOD MANNERS
I’m beginning to recognize that real happiness isn’t something large and looming on the horizon ahead, but something small, numerous and already here. The smile of someone you love. A decent breakfast. The warm sunset. Your little everyday joys all lined up in a row. #<Author:0x00005559d13488e0>
JOY
The bond that links your true family is not one of blood, but of respect and joy in each other's life. Rarely do members of one family grow up under the same roof. #<Author:0x00005559d1302930>
FAMILY
Try to be a rainbow in someone's cloud. #<Author:0x00005559d13f2160>
FRIENDSHIP
This is the art of courage: to see things as they are and still believe that the victory lies not with those who avoid the bad, but those who taste, in living awareness, every drop of the good. #<Author:0x00005559d13996a0>
COURAGE
I sustain myself with the love of family. #<Author:0x00005559d1461628>

RIGHT CHOICES

LIVE LIFE

PERSEVERANCE
The hero is one who kindles a great light in the world, who sets up blazing torches in the dark streets of life for men to see by. The saint is the man who walks through the dark paths of the world, himself a light. #<Author:0x00005559d14eaf68>
INCLUDING OTHERS
There's only one way to succeed in anything, and that is to give it everything. #<Author:0x00005559d14ca498>
PERSEVERANCE
Hurt people, hurt people. That's how pain patterns get passed on, generation after generation after generation. Break the chain today. Meet anger with sympathy, contempt with compassion and cruelty with kindness. Greet grimaces with smiles. Forgive and forget about finding fault. Love is the weapon of the future. #<Author:0x00005559d1531e90>
COMPASSION
Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out. #<Author:0x00005559d1513f58>
PERSISTENCE
No one is useless in this world who lightens the burdens of another. #<Author:0x00005559d157a7a8>
REACHING OUT
If you shift your focus from yourself to others, extend your concern to others, and cultivate the thought of caring for the well being of others, then this will have the immediate effect of opening up your life and helping you to reach out. #<Author:0x00005559d155bce0>
