Kristen's favorite quotes

12080
"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. To appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded."
Ralph Waldo Emerson

879
"Music gives soul to the universe
wings to the mind
flight to the imagination
and life to everything"
Plato

"I am not afraid of tomorrow
for I have seen yesterday
and I love today"
William Allen White
