"In moments of discouragement, defeat, or even despair, there are always certain things to cling to. Little things usually: remembered laughter, the face of a sleeping child, a tree in the wind—in fact, any reminder of something deeply felt or dearly loved. No man is so poor as not to have many of these small candles. When they are lighted, darkness goes away and a touch of wonder remains."
"It is better to light one small candle than to curse the darkness."
"Now and then it's good to pause in our pursuit of happiness and just be happy."
"All the adversity I've had in my life, all my troubles and obstacles, have strengthened me. You may not realize it when it happens, but a kick in the teeth may be the best thing in the world for you."
" I know life, at the moment, can be a horrible, cold place; when you're too depressed to move, too sad to talk, and so closed-up that everyday, you cry to yourself internally, never letting anyone know your pain. I know that life is better than this. Get out of bed. Take a walk outside in the beautiful sunshine, take a deep breath and breathe in the grace and wonders of life. Smile and laugh with those whom you call friends. I know, whenever you're down, in that cold place, throw away your bad thought and just think of life and how outstanding it is to be alive."
" A friend is one who looks beyond the broken fence
And admires the flowers in your garden."
And admires the flowers in your garden."
" It is not easy to live life some times and face the world with a smile when you are crying inside. It takes a lot of courage to reach down inside yourself, hold on to that strength that's still there and know that tomorrow is a new day with new possibilities. But if you can just hold on long enough to see this through, you'll come out a new person-stronger, with more understanding and with a new pride in yourself knowing you made it."
"And when the night is cloudy there is still a light that shines on me.Shine until tomorrow, let it be!"
