Thought is the sculptor who can create the person you want to be

First love is a little foolish and a lot of faith.

Happiness is like a butterfly, the more you chase it, the more it will evade you, but if you notice the other things around you, it will gently come and sit on your shoulder.

Live in each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit, and resign yourself to the influence of the earth.

I cannot make my days longer so I strive to make them better.

"The question is not what you look at, but what you see."

Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined

Thought is the sculptor who can create the person you want to be.

The world is but a canvas to the imagination.

Things do not change, we change.

If one advances confidently in the direction of his dream, and endeavours to live the life which he had imagines, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.

The only way to tell the truth is to speak with kindness. Only the words of a loving man can be heard.
