Echoes

I am endeavouring to live every day as if it were a complete life.

Keep your face always toward the sunshine — and shadows will fall behind you.

When you arise in the morning think of what a privilege it is to be alive, to think, to enjoy, to love.

Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference.

Be content with what you have; rejoice in the way things are.

Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement; nothing can be done without hope.

The quality I look for most is optimism: especially optimism in the face of reverses and apparent defeat.

Begin at once to live, and count each separate day as a separate life.

The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts.

Be not afraid of life. Believe that life is worth living, and your belief will help create the fact.

The sun is new each day.

There are two things that I want you to make up your minds to: first, that you are going to have a good time as long as you live – I have no use for the sour-faced man – and next, that you are going to do something worthwhile, that you are going to work hard and do the things you set out to do.

The pessimist sees difficulty in every opportunity. The optimist sees opportunity in every difficulty.

All that a man achieves and all that he fails to achieve is the direct result of his own thoughts.

Difficulties are just things to overcome, after all.

They are never alone that are accompanied with noble thoughts.

The soul becomes dyed with the color of its thoughts.

If in our daily life we can smile, if we can be peaceful and happy, not only we, but everyone will profit from it. If we really know how to live, what better way to start the day than with a smile? Our smile affirms our awareness and determination to live in peace and joy. The source of a true smile is an awakened mind.

Life is a journey, not a destination.

A man who dares to waste one hour of time has not discovered the value of life.

In the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years.

They can, because they think they can.

You are today where your thoughts have brought you; you will be tomorrow where your thoughts take you.

He who does not value life does not deserve it.

Believe you can and you're halfway there.
