For, what is order without common sense, but Bedlam’s front parlor? What is imagination without common sense, but the aspiration to out-dandy Beau Brummell with nothing but a bit of faded muslin and a limp cravat? What is Creation without common sense, but a scandalous thing without form or function, like a matron with half a dozen unattached daughters? And God looked upon the Creation in all its delightful multiplicity, and saw that, all in all, it was quite Amiable.
For this will cure him that is sick, and rouse him that is in dumps; one that has loved, it will remember of it; one that has not, it will instruct. For there was never any yet that wholly could escape love, and never shall there be any, never so long as beauty shall be, never so long as eyes can see. But help me that God to write the passions of others; and while I write, keep me in my own right wits.
You may be the only person left who believes in you, but it's enough. It takes just one star to pierce a universe of darkness. Never give up.
Each person you meet is an aspect of yourself, clamoring for love.
You have two choices, to conquer your fear or to let your fear conquer you.
Instead of complaining about the problem and blaming others, start finding the solution.
Be patient and open-minded in your interactions with others; find the positive attributes that they possess.
One word of encouragement can be enough to spark someone’s motivation to continue with a difficult challenge.
When you start giving, instead of getting, you make a difference. You can always give a warm smile, a sincere hello, a positive vibe… your attention, your time, your love, and kindness to those around you.
It is better to find your courage to make changes when you can choose to rather than being forced to. If you do not make change, change will make you.
