"If you aren't good at loving yourself, you will have a difficult time
loving anyone, since you'll resent the time and energy you give
another person that you aren't even giving to yourself." Barbara de
Angelis

"So be sure when you step.
Step with care and great tact
and remember that Life's a Great Balancing Act.
Just never forget to be dexterous and deft.
And never mix up your right foot with your left."

--Dr. Seuss Oh, the Places You'll Go!

This is a poem Dr. Seuss wrote about death
I AM PREPARED…..
"When I cross the Bar of the Great Blue Be yonder
I know that my Maker, without pause or ponder,
Will welcome my soul. For my record is scar-less
I've eaten no oysters in months that are R-less."

"Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get
better. It's not."
--Dr. Seuss The Lorax

"I learned there are troubles of more than one kind.
Some come from ahead and some from behind."
-Dr. Seuss

How did it get so late so soon?
Its night before its afternoon.
December is here before its June.
My goodness how the time has flewn.
How did it get so late so soon?
-Dr. Seuss

OH! THE PLACES YOU'LL GO!
You'll be on your way up!
You'll be seeing great sights!
You'll join the high fliers
who soar to high heights.
You won't lag behind, because you'll have the speed.
You'll pass the whole gang and you'll soon take the lead.
Wherever you fly, you'll be best of the best.
Wherever you go, you will top all the rest.
-Dr. Seuss

"We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark. The real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light." -- Plato

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will, When the road you're trudging
seems all uphill, When the funds are low, and the debts are high, and you
want to smile, but you have to sigh. When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest if you must, but don't you quit.
Life is queer with its twists and turns, as everyone of us sometimes
learns. And many a failure turns about when he might have won had he stuck
it out. Don't give up though the pace seems slow. You may succeed with
another blow.
Success is failure turned inside out. The silver tint of the clouds of
doubt, and you never can tell how close you are, It may be near when it
seems so far. So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit, It's when
things seem worse that you must not quit.

How vain it is to sit down and write if you have not stood up to live.

Henry David Thoreau

The only things in life you regret,
Are the risks that you didn't take.
~ Anonymous ~

The most important thing in life is not the triumph but the struggle. The
essential thing is not to have conquered but to have fought well.
- Coubertin, Pierre de

Not everybody trusts paintings
but people believe photographs.
-- Ansel Adams

"It is twice the pleasure to decieve the deciever."

"Sometimes the people you thought you knew, become the strangers you never wanted."

You have enemies? Good! It means you've stood up for something at least once in your life.
-- Unknown

Hope is the feeling that you will succeed tomorrow in what you failed at
today - unknown

You can cage the singer but not the song.
