I believe...

I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge -- myth is more potent than history -- dreams are more powerful than facts -- hope always triumphs over experience -- laughter is the cure for grief -- love is stronger than death.--- -- Robert Fulghum

The pain passes, but the beauty remains.-- Pierre Auguste Renoir

Joy and sorrow are inseparable. . . together they come and when one sits alone with you . . . remember that the other is asleep upon your bed.-- Kahlil Gibran

He who has not looked on Sorrow will never see Joy. -- Kahlil Gibran
The deeper that sorrow carves into your being the more joy you can contain. Is not the cup that holds your wine the very cup that was burned in the potter's oven? ---- Kahlil Gibran

There's no such thing as old age, there is only sorrow.-- Edith Wharton

There are as many nights as days, and the one is just as long as the other in the year's course. Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word 'happy' would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness.-- Carl Jung

If we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleasant; if we did not sometimes taste of adversity, prosperity would not be so welcome.-- Anne Bradstreet

There is no pain so great as the memory of joy in present grief.

The love that lasts the longest is the love that is never returned.-- William Somerset Maugham

If you are patient in one moment of anger, you will escape a hundred days of sorrow.-- Chinese Proverbs

Every man has his secret sorrows which the world knows not; and often times we call a man cold when he is only sad.-- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow


You cannot prevent the birds of sorrow from flying over your head, but you can prevent them from building nests in your hair.

Today......

Today before you think of saying an unkind word
Think of someone who can't speak
Before you complain about the taste of your food
Think of someone who has nothing to eat
Before you complain about your husband or wifeT
Think of someone who's crying out to God for a companion
Today before you complain about life
Think of someone who went too early to heaven
Before you complain about your children
Think of someone who desires children but they're barren
Before you argue about your dirty house someone didn't clean or sweep
Think of the people who are living in the streets
Before whining about the distance you drive
Think of someone who walks the same distance with their feetAnd when you are tired and complain about your job
Think of the unemployed, the disabled and those who wished they had your job
But before you think of pointing the finger or condemning another
Remember that not one of us are without sin and we all answer to one maker
And when depressing thoughts seem to get you down
Put a smile on your face and thank God you're alive and still around Life is a gift
Live it.Enjoy it..Celebrate it..And fulfill it..HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY . . .
