The greatest danger for most of us is not that our aim is too high and we miss it, but that it is too low and we reach it

===

It is a sad thing to look at happiness only through another's eyes
==
Don't ask yourself what the world needs; ask yourself what makes you come alive.

And then go and do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.

==
Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no one's definition of your life; define yourself
==
Fear less, hope more;
Whine less, breathe more;
Talk less, say more;
Hate less, love more;
And all good things are yours
==
Consult not your fears but your hopes and your dreams.

Think not about your frustrations, but about your unfulfilled potential.

Concern yourself not with what you tried and failed in, but with what it is still possible for you to do

“The problems that exist in the world today cannot be solved by the level of thinking that created them.”
==
“You have your way. I have my way. As for the right way, the correct way, and the only way, it does not exist
==
There are two primary choices in life: to accept conditions as they exist, or accept the responsibility for changing them.”
==
No man or woman is an island. To exist just for yourself is meaningless. You can achieve the most satisfaction when you feel related to some greater purpose in life, something greater than yourself.”
==
“You can only become truly accomplished at something you love. Don't make money your goal. Instead, pursue the things you love doing, and then do them so well that people can't take their eyes off you

If you have it [Love], you don't need to have anything else, and if you don't have it, it doesn't matter much what else you have
======

True love comes quietly, without banners or flashing lights. If you hear bells, get your ears checked.

==
In the arithmetic of love, one plus one equals everything, and two minus one equals nothing.
===

You will find as you look back upon your life that the moments when you have really lived, are the moments when you have done things in a spirit of love. ===
==
The person who tries to live alone will not succeed as a human being. His heart withers if it does not answer another heart. His mind shrinks away if he hears only the echoes of his own thoughts and finds no other inspiration.
==
Love works in miracles every day: such as weakening the strong, and stretching the weak; making fools of the wise, and wise men of fools; favouring the passions, destroying reason, and in a word, turning everything topsy-turvy.
==
Think about it, there must be higher love
Down in the heart or hidden in the stars above
Without it, life is a wasted time
Look inside your heart, I'll look inside mine.
===
Love is an electric blanket with somebody else in control of the switch.
==
Find the person who will love you because of your differences and
not in spite of them and you have found a lover for life.
==
To laugh often and love much, to appreciate beauty,
to find the best in others, to give one's self,
this is to have succeeded.
==
Love is always bestowed as a gift --
freely, willingly, and without expectation,
We don't love to be loved; we love to love.
==

We find rest in those we love, and we provide a resting place
in ourselves for those who love us.
==

Love grows by giving. The love we give away is the only love we keep. The only way to retain love is to give it away.
==

May no gift be too small to give,
nor too simple to receive,
which is wrapped in thoughtfulness
and tied with love.
==
The truth [is] that there is only one terminal dignity-love. And the story of a love is not important-what is important is that one is capable of love. It is perhaps the only glimpse we are permitted of eternity
==

you're right about the laugh part.

Take care that the face that looks out from the mirror in the morning is a pleasant face. You may not see it again during the day, but others will.
==

Love is patient, love is kind.
It does not envy, it does not boast,
it is not proud.
It is not rude, it is not self-seeking.
It is not easily angered,
it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil,
but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects, always trusts,
always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails.
Bible
~I Corinthians 13:4-8~

Pure love and suspicion cannot dwell together: at the door where the latter enters,
the former makes its exit.

The history of the world is but the
biography of great men.
===
Go to the people. Learn from them. Live with them. Start with what they know. Build with what they have. The best of leaders when the job is done, when the task is accomplished, the people will say we have done it ourselves.

The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy=

=Where there is no vision, the people perish.

=
The quality of a man's life is in direct proportion to his commitment to excellence, regardless of his chosen field of endeavor.
==
Nothing can stop the man with the right mental attitude from achieving his goal; nothing on earth can help the man with the wrong mental attitude.
==
I cannot give you the formula for success, but I can give you the formula for failure--which is:
Try to please everybody.

I cannot give you the formula for success, but I can give you the formula for failure--which is:
Try to please everybody.

The geat blessing of mankind are within us and within our reach; but we shut our eyes, and like people in the dark, we fall foul upon the very thing we search for, without finding it.

Life is like a library owned by the author.
In it are a few books which he wrote himself,
but most of them were written for him.
==
The boundaries which divide life from death
are at best shadowy and vague.
no one knows where one ends,
and the other begins?

The meek shall inherit the Earth after we're done with it.
Just because you're not paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you.

Money can't buy happiness but it can certainly rent it for a couple of hours.

Lead me not into temptation. I can find it myself.

Eat drink and be merry, for tomorrow they may make it illegal.

There's nothing more restful than taking orders from fools.

Never underestimate the power of human stupidity.

It's hard to soar like an eagle when you're surrounded by turkeys.

He who laughs last didn't get the joke.

I'm not prejudiced. I hate everyone equally.

I used to be lost in the shuffle. Now I just shuffle along with the lost.

Yesterday was the deadline on all complaints.

I worship the ground that awaits you.

I wish you were a beer.

Love means telling you why you're sorry.

Sorry, but my karma just ran over your dogma.

I refuse to have a battle of wits with an unarmed opponent.

Why be difficult when with a bit of effort you can be impossible?

The number of people watching you is directly proportional to the stupidity of your action.

You have a right to your opinions. I just don't want to hear them.

The object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his. -- General George Patton

When choosing between two evils, I always like to try the one I've never tried before. -- Mae West

It's not that you and I are so clever, but that the others are such fools.

I'm not a member of any organized political party, I'm a Democrat! -- Will Rogers

I'm not cynical. Just experienced.

It's hard to be humble when you're as great as I am.

called falling in love, because you don't force
yourself to fall, you just fall.

One could fall in love many times during the course of a lifetime, but the first rush of love always holds a special place in our hearts. The novelty, like the first drops of dew on an untouched leaf, of the feeling makes it special and unforgettable. The "first love" quotes below develop on the theme of this treasured rush called first love.
