A single disturbed thought creates ten thousand distractions.
-Ryokan
Sometimes the most important thing in a whole day is the rest we take between two deep breaths.
-Etty Hillesum
If there is such a thing as a good marriage, it is because it resembles friendship rather than love.
-Michel De Montaigne
Because that’s what kindness is. It’s not doing something for someone else because they can’t but because you can.
It isn't what you have or who you are or where you are or what you are doing that makes you happy or unhappy. It is what you think about it.
-Dale Carnegie
Remember that the most beautiful things in the world are the most useless: peacocks and lilies, for instance.
-John Ruskin
A family is a place where minds come in contact with one another. If these minds love one another the home will be as beautiful as a flower garden. But if these minds get out of harmony with one another it is like a storm that plays havoc with the garden.
We can never choose evil. We always choose the good, and nothing can be good for us without being good for all.
-Jean Paul Sartre
