"I've learned that even when you think you have no more to give,
Work like you don't need the money.
It's funny, but when I was little, before I'd go to sleep my mother would do this routine with me where she'd tell me to think of pretty things. I would close my eyes and she would run her fingers over my cheeks and across my brow. And we'd go through this list. I think it was a way of preventing nightmares --- and it would always be, you know, pussycats and puppy dogs and balloons at the zoo. Sometimes she'd mention yellow submarines, stars in the sky, blackbirds flying overhead, trees in Central Park, and even --- believe it or not --- that on Saturday I would get to see Daddy. Nothing that extraordinary, but when you're four years old, it's cats and dogs that make life worth living. And I kind of think it's maybe not so different now.
Be a life long or short, its completness depends on what it was lived for.
Courage does not always roar. Sometimes it is the quiet voice at the end of the day which says, 'I will try again tomorrow.'
Make visible what, without you, might never have been seen.
black and white sunsets...sometimes.. you have to reach inside of yourself.. to see the beauty hidden beneath the darkness...
The real voyage of discovery lies not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes.
Our enjoyment of actuality is a realization of worth, good or bad. It is a value experience. Its basic expression is -- Have a care, here is something that matters! Yes -- that is the best phrase -- the primary glimmering of consciousness reveals, something that matters.

when a friend cries out to you, you will find the strength to help."

Laughing so hard your face hurts.
A special glance.
Getting mail.
Taking a drive on a pretty road.
Hearing your favorite song on the radio.
Lying in bed listening to the rain outside.
Hot towels out of the dryer.
Walking out of your last final.
A long distance phone call.
A good conversation.
A care package.
The beach.
Finding a $20 bill in your coat from last winter.
Laughing at yourself.
Midnight phone calls that last for hours.
Running through sprinklers.
Laughing for absolutely no reason at all.
Having someone tell you that you're beautiful.
Laughing at an inside joke
Friends.
Accidentally overhearing someone say something nice about you.
Waking up and realizing you still have a few hours left to sleep.
Your first kiss.
Being part of a team.
Making new friends or spending time with old ones.
Late night talks with your roommate that keep you from sleeping.
Sweet dreams.
Hot chocolate.
Road trips with friends.
Swinging on swings.
Watching a good movie cuddled up on a couch with someone you love.
Song lyrics printed inside your new CD so you can sing along without feeling stupid.
Going to a really good concert.
Getting butterflies in your stomach everytime you see that one person.
Winning a really competitive game.
Making chocolate chip cookies!
Having your friends send you homemade cookies!
Spending time with close friends!
Running through the fountains with your friends.
Riding a bike downhill.
The feeling after running a few miles-an accomplishment!
Seeing smiles and hearing laughter from your friends...
Holding hands with someone you care about.
Running into an old friend and realizing that some things(good or bad)never change.
Discovering that love is unconditional and stronger than time.
Riding the best rollercoasters over and over.
Hugging the person you love.
Watching the expression on someone's face as they open a much-desired present from you.
Getting an e-mail from some one you haven't heard from in a while.
Watching the sunrise.
Getting out of bed every morning and thanking God for another beautiful day.
