Life is not all fun and easy going. Far from it; there are many rough times. But, sadly, we too often let the hard times dull our enthusiasm. And that is dangerous, if not fatal, to our lives.

Change your thoughts and you change your world.

Empty pockets never held anyone back. Only empty heads and empty hearts can do that.

People become really quite remarkable when they start thinking that they can do things. When they believe in themselves they have the first secret of success.

A positive thinker does not refuse to recognize the negative; he refuses to dwell on it. Positive thinking is a form of thought which habitually looks for the best results from the worst conditions

Believe you can, and you can. Belief is one of the most powerful of all problem dissolvers. When you believe that a difficulty can be overcome, you are more than halfway to victory over it already.

If you want things to be different, perhaps the answer is to become different yourself.

Believe in yourself! Have faith in your abilities! Without a humble but reasonable confidence in your own powers you cannot be successful or happy.

Watch your manner of speech if you wish to develop a peaceful state of mind. Start each day by affirming peaceful, contented and happy attitudes and your days will tend to be pleasant and successful.

Our happiness depends on the habit of mind we cultivate. So practice happy thinking every day. Cultivate the merry heart, develop the happiness habit, and life will become a continual feast." ~

You have a choice everyday... You can choose every morning whether you will be depressed and miserable, or whether you will be happy.

Be just the balm you need to heal what ails you

My brain has become my enemy. We fight over creation and his need for sleep.

(In response to a picture critic.) I'm actually a very joyful person. But being a genius with a photographic memory mixed with a strong case of OCD makes for a difficult picture sometimes.

I like solitary pursuits, such as reading or pottering about in the garden.

My voice is soft, but oh, my heart roars!

If you feel like getting a divorce, you are no exception to the general rule.

I mean to prove I mean to move in my own way/ And say I've been getting along/ For long before you came into the play.

Clothes should never be decoration....whe n someone feels at peace with the clothes, they feel more seductive, more desirable, more sensual, more everything.

The problem for me is that reading is, I won't say a sacred, but nevertheless a pretty serious act.

Change is the investor's only certainty.
