It only takes a little bit of light to dispel a lot of darkness

Some people give and forgive, others get and forget.

And I said to the mother of nine children. "How do you divide your love between them." She replied "I don't, I multiply it!"

Formula for youth - Remember your enthusiasm and forget your birthdays.

The only way on Earth to multiply happiness is to divide it.
Plan your work - work your plan.

When you lose your heart - follow my voice.

Work like you don't need the money - Love like you've never been hurt - Dance like nobody's watching.

What matters is not the difference between believers and unbelievers, but between those who care and those who do not.

Its better to be hated for who you are - than liked for who you are not.

The voice is a wild thing - It can't be bred in captivity.

Forgiveness waters the seeds of love.

Anger is one letter short of Danger.

Forgive first yourself.

Our word's are the crumbs which fall from the feast in the mind.

God comforts the disturbed and disturbs the comfortable.

The only safe and sure way to destroy an enemy is to make him your friend.
(Commment:  Absolutely right!  But, "talking is easy, doing is nearly impossible".)

This is wishing you a wonderful weekend. Now go out and light up the world in your own way, with your own God-Given talents and start dispelling the darkness.
