Zitat des Tages von Pearl Bailey:
Everybody wants to do something to help, but nobody wants to be first.
A man without ambition is dead. A man with ambition but no love is dead. A man with ambition and love for his blessings here on earth is ever so alive.
There's a period of life when we swallow a knowledge of ourselves and it becomes either good or sour inside.

Sometimes I would almost rather have people take away years of my life than take away a moment.
The sweetest joy, the wildest woe is love. What the world really needs is more love and less paperwork.
No one can figure out your worth but you.
You never find yourself until you face the truth.

Never, never rest contented with any circle of ideas, but always be certain that a wider one is still possible.
We look into mirrors but we only see the effects of our times on us - not our effects on others.
What the world really needs is more love and less paper work.
You cannot belong to anyone else, until you belong to yourself.
The first and worst of all frauds is to cheat one's self. All sin is easy after that.
A crown, if it hurts us, is not worth wearing.
