cast the gift of a loving thought

If instead of gem, or even a flower,

We should cast the gift of a loving thought

Into the heart of a friend,

That would be giving as the angels give.

Friends are born, not made

People are often unreasonable, irrational, and self-centered.

Forgive them anyway.

If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives.  Be kind anyway.

If you are successful, you will win some unfaithful friends and some genuine enemies.  Succeed anyway.

If you are honest and sincere people may deceive you.  Be honest and sincere anyway.

What you spend years creating, others could destroy overnight.  Create anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness, some may be jealous.  Be happy anyway.

The good you do today, will often be forgotten.  Do good anyway.

Give the best you have, and it will never be enough.  Give your best anyway.

In the final analysis, it is between you and God.  It was never between you and them anyway.

"Great effort from great motives is the best definition of a happy life."

Obstacles are those frightful

Things we see when we take our eyes

Off our goal

A true friend is someone

Who walks in when

The whole world walks out

Good Friends Care for each Other

Close Friends Understand each Other

And True Friends Stay forever

Beyond words,

Beyond time
