Some Great Quotes

"We can lift ourselves, and others as well, when we refuse to remain in the realm of negative thought and cultivate within our hearts an attitude of gratitude. If ingratitude be numbered among the serious sins, then gratitude takes its place among the noblest of virtues."

~Thomas S. Monson

"If you are not willing to look stupid, nothing great is ever going to happen to you."

~Dr. Gregory House

"The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen."

~Elizabeth Kubler Ros

"And above all watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don't believe in magic will never find it."

~Roald Dahl

"The cure for boredom is curiosity. There is no cure for curiosity."

~Dorothy Parker

"The sexiest thing in the entire world is being really smart. And being thoughtful and being generous. Everthing else is crap, I promise you. It’s just crap that people try to sell to you to make you feel like less. So don’t buy it. Be smart, be thoughtful, and be generous.”

~Ashton Kutcher

"Do what you feel in your heart to be right--for you'll be criticized anyway."

~Eleanor Roosevelt

"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, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded."

~Ralph Waldo Emerson

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure."

~Marianne Williamson

"The worst thing you can do for anyone you care about is anything that they can do on their own."

~Abraham Lincoln

"Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. We must develop and maintain the capacity to forgive. He who is devoid of the power to forgive is devoid of the power of love. There is some good in the worst of us and some evil in the best of us. When we discover this, we are less prone to hate our enemies."

~Martin Luther King Jr.

"How magnificently and munificently we have been blessed! One does not have to travel far, nor to experience much of what the world has to offer, to see how richly we have been endowed in this great country. With gratitude in our hearts, let us stop dwelling on the problems we have, other than in spirit of contribution to solutions. Let us rather count our blessings and determine to do all we can to make this world a better place."

~President Gordon B. Hinckley

"If ever there is tomorrow when we’re not together... there is something you must always remember. You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. But the most important thing is, even if we’re apart... I’ll always be with you."

~Winnie the Pooh

"Please do not be cynical...it doesn't lead anywhere. Nobody in life gets exactly what they thought they were going to get but if you work really hard and you're kind, amazing things will happen. I'm telling you, amazing things will happen."

~Conan O'Brien

"Nobody really cares if you're miserable, so you might as well be happy."

~Cynthia Nelms

"Every single one of you has something that you're good at. Every single one of you has something to offer. And you have a responsibility to yourself to discover what that is. That's the opportunity an education can provide."

~Barack Obama

"Be a first rate version of yourself, not a second rate version of someone else."

~Judy Garland

"We must be willing to let go of the life we have planned, so as to have the life that is waiting for us."

~Joseph Campbell

"To live content with small means, to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion. To be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy, not rich. To listen to stars and birds, babes and sages, with open heart to study hard, to think quietly, act frankly, talk gently, await occasions, hurry never; in a word, to let the spiritual unbidden and unconscious, grow up through the common--this is my symphony."

~William Ellery Channing

"The past is behind; learn from it. The future is ahead; prepare for it. The present is here; live it!"

~Thomas S. Monson

"If we live, we stand in language. You must change your words."

~Kendrick Smithyman

"You don't raise heroes, you raise sons. And if you treat them like sons, they’ll turn out to be heroes, even if it’s just in your own eyes.”

~Walter M. Schirra
