Quotes From The Road #172

November 25, 2011


“Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. It turns problems into gifts, failures into successes, the unexpected into perfect timing, and mistakes into important events. It can turn an existence into a real life, and disconnected situations into important and beneficial lessons. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.”

Melody Beattie: Author

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone,

Quotes From The Road #171

November 18, 2011


“Before us lie two paths – honesty and dishonesty. The shortsighted embark on the dishonest path; the wise on the honest. For the wise know the truth; in helping others we help ourselves; and in hurting others we hurt ourselves. Character overshadows money, and trust rises above fame. Honesty is still the best policy.”

Napoleon Hill, 1883-1970: Personal Development Pioneer

“Your reputation is in the hands of others. That’s what a reputation is. You can’t control that. The only thing you can control is your character.”

Dr. Wayne W. Dyer: Spiritual Teacher & Author

Mother Teresa, 1910-1997: Humanitarian & Advocate for the poor and helpless

“Each morning when I open my eyes I say to myself: I – not events – have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn’t arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I’m going to be happy in it.”

Groucho Marx, 1890-1977: American Comedian

“You find yourself refreshed by the presence of cheerful people. Why not make an honest effort to confer that pleasure on others? Half the battle is gained if you never allow yourself to say anything gloomy.”
