If you must look back, do so forgivingly. If you will look forward, do so prayerfully. But the wisest course would be to be present in the present gratefully.

Nothing will work unless you do.

---

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.

---

Open your eyes to the beauty around you, open your mind to the wonders of life, open your heart to those who love you, and always be true to yourself.

---

Never make someone a priority when all you are to them is an option.

---

Continue. Be loving and be strong. Be fierce and be kind. And don't give in and don't give up.'

---

You may shoot me with your words, you may cut me with your eyes, you may kill me with your hatefulness, but still, like air, I'll rise!

---

You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them. Try to be a rainbow in someone else's cloud. Do not complain. Make every effort to change things you do not like. If you cannot make a change, change the way you have been thinking. You might find a new solution.

---

Nothing can dim the light which shines from within.

---

My wish for you is that you continue. Continue to be who and how you are, to astonish a mean world with your acts of kindness.
