"Be nice to people on your way up because you'll need them on your way down." ~W. Migner

"To be nobody but yourself
in a world
which is doing its best,
night and day,
to make you everybody else
means to fight the hardest battle
which any human being can fight;

and never stop fighting."

~e.e. cummings

"If you don't have a smile, I'll give you one of mine." ~Author Unknown

"I am often accused of being childish.

I prefer to interpret that as
child-like.
I still get wildly enthusiastic about little things.
I tend to exaggerate
and fantasize
and embellish.
I still listen to instinctual urges.
I play with leaves.
I skip down the street
and run against the wind.
I never water my garden without soaking myself.
It has been after such times of joy that I have achieved my greatest creativity
and produced my best work."

~Leo F. Buscaglia
