There comes a time in life when you walk away from all the drama and people who create it. Surround yourself with people who make you laugh; forget the bad and focus on the good. Love the people who treat you right, and pray for the ones who don't (after you'd kicked them to the curb, of course). Life is too short to be anything but happy.

Under certain circumstances, profanity provides a relief denied even to prayer

~ Mark Twain

"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The ugliest is that man who thinks nothing is worth fighting and dying for and lets men better and braver than himself protect him."

Live every day like it's your last . . . because one day you're going to be right.

You need to go home. Your house is on fire.

You never truly appreciate the absence of pain until you don't have it any more.

Keep moving.

Achievement seems to be connected with action. Successful men and women keep moving. They make mistakes, but they don't quit.

Among those whom I like or admire, I can find no common denominator, but among those whom I love, I can: all of them make me laugh.

A good marriage is like a casserole, only those responsible for it really know what goes in it.

Ain't it the truth!!

Slow down and enjoy life. It's not only the scenery you miss by going too fast - you also miss the sense of where you are going and why.
