Favorite saying

• "Remember the most beautiful things in life are the most useless; peacocks and lillies for instance. Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world. -Albert Einstein I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not only because I can see it, but because of it I see everything else. -C.S. Lewis Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light. - Albus Dumbledore Christianity, if false, is of no importance, and if true, of infinite importance. The only thing it cannot be is moderately important. -C.S. Lewis At any given moment you have the power to say this is not how the story is going to end. Fairy tales are more than true: not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten. -G.K. Chesterson Happy moments, praise God. Difficult moments, seek God. Painful moments, trust God. Every moment, thank God. What we do for ourselves dies with us. What we do for others and the world remains and is immortal. -Albert Pine “Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another: "What! You too? I thought I was the only one.” -C.S. Lewis To have faith is to be sure of the things we hope for, to be certain of the things we cannot see. -Hebrews 11:1 Don't give up, the beginning is always the hardest. To laugh often and much; To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; To earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; To appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; To leave the world a bit better, through a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; To know one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded. -Ralph Waldo Emerson We all know that the heart is the center of the body, but it beats on the left. Maybe that's the reason that the heart is not always right. It is our choices that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities. -Albus Dumbledore Speak the truth, even if your voice shakes. Monsters are real, ghosts are real too. They live inside us, and sometimes, they win. -Stephen King The happiest people don't have the best of everything, they just make the best of everything. Sometimes we must choose between what is right and what is easy. -Albus Dumbledore Judging a person does not define who they are. It defines who you are. Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are. -John Wooden You know you've read a good book when you turn the last page and feel a little as if you have lost a friend. In order for the light to shine so brightly, the darkness must be present. -Sir Francis Bacon Remember that all through history, there have been tyrants and murderers, and for a time, they seem invincible. But in the end, they always fall. Always. -Mahatma Ghandi God can't give us peace and happiness apart from Himself because there is no such thing. -C.S. Lewis No matter how dark the moment, love and hope are always possible. -George Chakiris Without humor, life is boring. Without love, life is hopeless. Without courage, life is hard. To anyone who ever told you you're no good...they're no better. -Hayley Williams The greatest mistake you can make in life is to be continually fearing you will make one. -E. Hubbard Friends are those rare people who ask how we are and then wait to hear the answer. -Ed Cunningham Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has. -Margaret Mead Among those whom I like or admire, I can find no common denominator, but among those whom I love, I can; all of them make me laugh. -W.H. Auden Support music everyday, because there isn't a day music won't be there to support you. -Hayley Williams No matter what you always deserve to smile. Don't let anyone take that away from you. Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others. -Marianne Williamson"
