Ashley Miller:  

past is history. The future is a mystery and this moment is a gift. That is why this moment is called “the present”. Honor the past. Live in the present. Create the future. The thief of the past and the thief of the future, rob us of the joy of the peace of the present moment. The foolish man seeks happiness in the distance; the wise grows it under his feet. ~James Openheim It’s pretty hard to tell what does bring happiness. Poverty and wealth have both failed. ~Frank McKinney “Kin” Hubbard Often people attempt to live their lives backwards; they try to have more things, or more money, in order to do more of what they want, so they will be happier. The way it actually works is the reverse. You must first be who you really are, then do what you need to do, in order to have what you want. ~Margaret Young (to those who anger me) “Holding on to anger, resentment and hurt only gives you tense muscles, a headache and a sore jaw from clenching your teeth. Forgiveness gives you back the laughter and the lightness in your life.” Joan Lunden “Nobody can hurt me without my permission.” Mahatma Gandhi If the white man wants to live in peace with the Indian, he can live in peace.....Treat all men alike. Give them all the same law. Give them all an even chance to live and grow. All men were made by the same Great Spirit Chief. They are all brothers. The earth is the mother of all people, and all people should have equal rights upon it.......Let me be a free man, free to travel, free to stop, free to work, free to trade....where I choose my own teachers, free to follow the religion of my fathers, free to think and talk and act for myself, and I will obey every law, or submit to the penalty. — Chief Joseph (1840 – 1904), Nez Pierce Chief".
