A life lived without forgiveness is a prison.

Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it.

Gratitude can transform common days into thanksgivings, turn routine jobs into joy, and change ordinary opportunities into blessings.” —

The momentary thrill of getting rarely equals the lasting joy of giving.

A pinch of praise is worth a pound of scorn. A dash of encouragement is more helpful than a dipper of pessimism. A cup of kindness is better than a cupboard of criticism.

It is wise to direct your anger towards problems - not people; to focus your energies on answers - not excuses.

I have the opportunity, once more to right some wrongs, to pray for peace, to plant some trees, and sing more joyful songs.
