~Albert Guinon

“It is not the mountain we conquer but ourselves.”

~Sir Edmund Hillary

Don’t rely on someone else for your happiness and self worth. Only you can be responsible for that. If you can’t love and respect yourself – no one else will be able to make that happen. Accept who you are – completely; the good and the bad – and make changes as YOU see fit – not because you think someone else wants you to be different.

~ Stacey Charter

1. Out of clutter, find simplicity.
2. From discord, find harmony.

“Every friend is to the other a sun, and a sunflower also. He attracts and follows.”

“Time is free, but it’s priceless.
You can’t own it, but you can use it.
You can’t keep it, but you can spend it.
Once you’ve lost it you can never get it back.”

~ Harvey MacKay

Peace is not merely a distant goal that we seek but a means by which we arrive at that goal.
