If you want happiness for an hour,
take a nap.
If you want happiness for a day,
go for a picnic.
If you want happiness for a week,
go on a vacation.
If you want happiness for a month,
get married.
If you want happiness for a year,
inherit wealth.
If you want happiness for a lifetime,
learn to love what you do.

God gave me everything I needed
When I asked God for Strength
He gave me difficult situations to face
When I asked God for Brain and Brawn
He gave me puzzles in life to solve
When I asked God for Happiness
He showed me some unhappy people
When I asked God for Wealth
He showed me how to work hard
When I asked God for Favors
He showed me opportunities to work hard
When I asked God for Peace
He showed me how to help others
God gave me nothing I wanted
He gave me everything I needed

Live today
Don't hurt anyone
It only takes a few seconds to hurt people you love, and it can take years to heal.
Live today!
There are two eternities that can really break you down - Yesterday and Tomorrow. One is gone and the other doesn't exist, so live today.
Value
What is the most valuable is not what you have in my life but who you have in your life.
Money
Money can buy everything but happiness...
Marriage
Do not marry a person that you know that you can live with; only marry someone that you cannot live without.
Trust
It takes years to build trust, and a few seconds to destroy it.

Beautiful words
Believe not only in yourself,
but believe in your friends as well for it is in the eyes of your friends that you discover yourself.
If somebody leaves you with lots of tears...save them safely.
Later when a person comes to you with happiness, compare the saved tears and present happiness.
If happiness overcomes your tears...the I am sure you have found your best friend.
Love is post paid, one month you don't pay, connection will be cut.
But friendship is life time prepaid whether you pay or not,
incoming is free for lifetime.
Birds that live in a lake will fly away when the lake dries up.
But the lotus in the same lake dies with the lake.
That's the commitment in relationships...
Friendship is like standing on wet cement...
The longer you stay, the harder it is to leave and
you can never go without leaving footprints behind.
A word to say, a word to hear, even in your absence I feel you near...
Our relationship is strong, hope it lasts long...
We'll remain friends, till our hearts go on...
Being visible isn't always a requirement for being close,
it just takes some thoughtful gesture and concern to capture the heart of a friend.
Friendship means to feel someone in every heartbeat,
to find someone in every thought,
to see someone with closed eyes,
and to miss someone without reason.
Great relationships are not necessarily about finding similarities...
It is more about respecting differences.
Forgetting you is hard to do,
Forgetting me is up to you!
Forget me not, forget me never,
And you'll have a loveable friend forever!
Friends never make assumptions about you.
They never expect a reason to go out with you.
In fact friends only expect you to be you!
One should try to make new friends everyday,
without the company of friends life is barren, and has no meaning.
One should learn the art of making friends,
because at the end of life we remember our friends.
Friendship is like a clap - it makes sound great when we clap with two hands,
And friendship is strong when two persons can understand each other,
and that two persons are you and me =)
True friendship is like sound health,
the value of it is seldom known until it be lost.
Believe not only in yourself, but believe in your friends as well,
for it is in the eyes of your friends that you discover yourself.

Childhood
The things which the child loves remain in the domain of the heart until old age. The most beautiful thing in life is that our souls remain over the places where we once enjoyed ourselves.
There is always one moment in childhodd when the door opens and lets the future in.
If you carry your childhood with you, you never become older.
It is never too late to have a happy childhood.
I cannot think of any need in childhood as strong as the need for a father's protection.
The essence of childhood, of course, is play, which my friends and I did endlessly on streets that we reluctantly shared with traffic.
Childhood is that wonderful time of life when all you need to do to lose weight is take a bath.
Creativity is not merely the innocent spontaniety of our youth and childhood, it must also be married to the passion of the adult human being, which is a passion to live beyond one's death.
Our whole life is but a greater and longer childhood.
This highlight of my childhood was making my brother laugh so hard that food came out of his nose.

Just be...
Just be strong enough to face the world each day,
be weak enough to know you cannot do everything.
Just be wise enough to know you do not know everything,
be foolish enough to believe in miracles.
Just be a leader when you see a path others have missed,
be a follower when you are shrouded in the midst of uncertainty.
Just be the first to congratulate an opponent who succeeds,
be the last to criticize a colleague who fails.
