Failure is not falling down, it is not getting back up again.

Mary Pickford

The best and the most beautiful things in life cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart.

Helen Keller

Endurance is not just the ability to bear a hard thing, but to turn it into glory.

William Barclay

A man was walking in the wilderness. He became lost and was unable to find his way out. Another man met him. "Sir, I am lost, can you show me the way out of this wilderness?" "No," said the stranger, "I cannot show you the way out of the wilderness, but maybe if I walk with you, we can find it together"

Emery Nester

In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: It goes on.

Robert Frost

Either you think -- or else others have to think for you and take power from you, pervert and discipline your natural tastes, civilize and sterilize you.

F. Scott Fitzgerald

To fight and conquer in all your battles is not supreme excellence; supreme excellence consists in breaking the enemy's resistance without fighting

Sun Tzu

Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards.

Tomorrow

when tomorrow starts without you and you're not here to see, if the sun should rise and find my eyes all filled with tears for you. i wish so much i wouldn't cry the way i did today, while thinking of the many things we didn't get to say. I know how much you love me, as much as i love you, and each time that i think of you i know you'll miss me too. but when tomorrow starts without you, please try to understand, that an angel came down and called your name and took you by the hand. she said your place was ready, in heaven far above and that you'd have to leave behind all those you dearly love. But when you walked through heaven's gates you felt so much at home. when god looked down and smiled at you from his great golden throne he said, "this is eternity and all i've promised you." today for life on earth is past but here it starts anew. i promise no tomorrow for today will always last. and since each day's the same way there's no longing for the past. So when tomorrow starts without you, don't think we're far apart. for everytime i think of you, you're right here in my heart.

If Tomorrow Never Comes

If I knew it would be the last time That I'd see you fall asleep, I would tuck you in tighter and pray the Lord, your soul to keep. If I knew it would be the last time that I see you walk out the door, I would give you a hug and kiss and call you back for one more. If I knew it would be the last time I'd hear your voice lifted up in praise, I would video tape each action and word, so I could play them back day after day. If I knew it would be the last time, I could spare an extra minute or two to stop and say love you, instead of assuming you would KNOW I do. If I knew it would be the last time I would be there to share your day, well I'm sure you'll have so many more so I can let just this one slip away. For surely there's always tomorrow to make up for an oversight, and we always get a second chance to make everything right. There will always be another day to say our," I love you's," And certainly there's another chance to say our. " Anything I can do's?" But just in case I might be wrong, and today is all I get, I'd like to say how much I love you and I hope we never forget. Tomorrow is not promised to anyone, young or old alike, And today may be the last chance you get to hold your loved one tight. So if you're waiting for tomorrow, why not do it today? For if tomorrow never comes, you'll surely regret the day, That you didn't take that extra time for a smile, a hug, or a kiss and you were too busy to grant someone, what turned out to be their one last wish. So always hold them dear. Take time to say I'm sorry, Please forgive me, Thank you, or It's okay. And if tomorrow never comes, you'll have no regrets about today.
