Believe that life is worth living, and your belief will help create that fact. - William James Be glad for life because it gives you the chance to love and to work and to look up at the stars. - Henry Van Dyke Unless each day can be looked back upon by an individual as one in which he has had some fun, some joy, some real satisfaction, that day is a loss. - Dwight David Eisenhower Live as you will wish to have lived when you are dying. - Christian Gellert Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense. - Ralph Waldo Emerson Life is made up of constant calls to action, and we seldom have time for more than hastily contrived answers. - Learned Hand Any life, no matter how long and complex it may be, is made up of a single moment - the moment in which a man finds out, once and for all, who he is. - Jorge Luis Borges If a man is called to be a street sweeper, he should sweep streets even as Michelangelo painted, or Beethoven played music, or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say, here lived a great street sweeper who did his job well. - Martin Luther King Jr. Begin the day with friendliness; keep friendly all day long; keep in your soul a friendly thought, and in your heart a friendly song. - Frank B. Whitney All men's lives are fairy tales written by the fingers of God. -Hans Christian Anderson | Return to Meditations Menu | Copyright © 2004 Interrogative Imperative Institute. All Rights Reserved.
