"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 to endure the betrayal of false friends.

This is to have succeeded."
— Ralph Waldo Emerson

"Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift. That's why we call it "The Present"."
— Eleanor Roosevelt

"For every minute you are angry you lose sixty seconds of happiness."
