At the end of the day, Mother Nature has only one question for us: 'What life did you nurture today?

The greatest gift we give to someone who loves us is simply to be happy.

What do we ask of friendship except to be taken for what we pretend to be - and without having to pretend.

We picture love as heart-shaped because we do not know the shape of the soul.

A cat, after being scolded, goes about its business. A dog slinks off into a corner and pretends to be doing a serious self-reappraisal.

There is no effect more disproportionate to its cause than the happiness bestowed by a small compliment.

Looking back on our lives, we invariably find that the person we pretended to be is the person we became.
