As by the obstacles which he has overcome
While trying to succeed.

The friends that we love
and are longing to see
Can be reached any time, any day,
For the friends who are closest
in heart and in thought
Are only a memory away.

A friend is someone we turn to
When our spirits need a lift,
A friend is someone we treasure
For true friendship is a gift.
A friend is someone we laugh with
Over little personal things,
A friend is someone we're serious with
In facing whatever life brings.
A friend is someone who fills our lives
With beauty and joy and grace
And makes the world that we live in
A better and happier place!

Time is not measured
by the passing
of the years,
but by what one does,
what one feels,
and what one achieves.

Live each day to the fullest.

to thine own self be true,
And it must follow,

"Success"
To laugh often and much,
to win the respect
of intelligent people
and the affection of children;
to earn the appreciation
of honest critics
and endure the betrayal
of false friends;
to appreciate beauty,
to find the best in others;
to leave the world a bit better,
whether by a healthy child,
a garden patch or a redeemed
social condition; to know
even one life has breathed easier
because you have lived.
That is to have succeeded.
~Ralph Waldo Emerson

The greatest thing
in this world
is not so much
where we stand,
as in what direction
we are moving.

"We've got this gift of love,
but love is like a precious plant.

going to get on
by itself. You've got to keep watering it.
You've got to really look after it
and nurture it."
~John Lennon

"You never lose by loving.
You always lose by holding back."

"Twenty years from now you will be more
disappointed by the things that you didn't do
than by the ones you did do.
So throw off the bowlines.
Sail away from the safe harbor.
Catch the trade winds in your sails.
Explore. Dream. Discover."
~ Mark Twain

To be nobody but yourself --
in a world which is doing its best,
night and day,
to make you like everybody else --

battle which any human being can fight,
and never stop fighting.
