Quotes

It is not what a man has
But what he does with what he has
That will determine his success in life

The meaning of life is to be happy

Happiness is found easier by helping someone than helping yourself

What people say is not important
It is what people do that shows true self

Fame and fortune are possessed by only a few
So don't make these your highest goals for great happiness

Let your true colors shine
As only you have them
Don't shrowd them under a veil
To please what you think people want from you

The mind is like a fruit tree
Feed it well and fill it with light
To bring a bountiful harvest

Love is life, hate is death
Be jealous of noone
Trust me in this
The grass is not greener on the other side
In fact, it is quite brown

I love quotes..I have so many of them stored away over the years..They inspire me. It is the people who work quietly in the background that I respect. You are right..it is what people do that matters..Not what they say. thumbs up purple heart
