One of Emily's favorite quotes is:""Now and then it's good to pause in our pursuit of happiness and just be happy." --Guillaume Apollinaire, French writer, poet and critic "Texas women have an amazing sense of purpose when they lose it. They're the best girls in the world - they're loyal and fun, but when they get mad, they'll try to kill you." - John Cusack "To get away from one's working environment is, in a sense, to get away from one's self; and this is often the chief advantage of travel and change." Charles Horton Cooley "The world will not be destroyed by those who do evil, but by those who watch them and without doing anything." Albert Einstein "There comes a time in your life, when you walk away from all the drama and people who create it. You surround yourself with people who make you laugh. Forget the bad, and focus on the good. Love the people who treat you right, pray for the ones who don’t. Life is too short to be anything but happy. Falling down is a part of life. Getting back up is living." by Jose' N. Harris "Free spirits are inclined to explore life and taste new experiences that hold true to the deepest parts of themselves versus being influenced by what the masses around them are doing. They are often people who think freely and have the courage to hear their own voice and follow their own integrity." Unknown "Be courageous. I have seen many depressions in business. Always America has emerged from these stronger and more prosperous. Be brave as your fathers before you. Have faith! Go forward!" ~ Thomas A. Edison "What lies behind you and what lies in front of you, pales in comparison to what lies inside of you." ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson "To learn to read is to light a fire; every syllable that is spelled out is a spark." - Victor Hugo "Always be kind, for everyone is fighting a hard battle." ~ Plato "People don't choose their careers; they are engulfed by them." John Dos Passos "It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived." -- General George S. Patton "I think and think for months, for years. Ninety-nine times the conclusion is false. The hundredth time I am right." - Albert Einstein "Do not stand at my grave and weep, I am not there; I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow, I am the diamond glints on snow, I am the sun on ripened grain, I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awaken in the morning’s hush I am the swift uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circling flight. I am the soft starlight at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry, I am not there; I did not die." by Mary Elizabeth Frye, 1932 "... Perseverance and spirit have done Wonders in all Ages." George Washington August 20, 1775 "Aim at heaven and you will get earth thrown in. Aim at earth and you get neither." C. S. Lewis “We do not know or seek what our fate will be. We ask only this, that if die we must, that we die as men would die, without complaining, without pleading and safe in the feeling that we have done our best for what we believed was right." ~Lt. Col. Robert L. Wolverton, 1st Wave Utah Beach ( 4th IR, 8th RCT) "We do not need magic to transform our world. We carry all of the power we need inside ourselves already." JK Rowling "A successful person is one who can lay a firm foundation with the bricks that others throw at him or her." ~ David Brinkley (1920 - 2003) American newscaster "The important thing was to love rather than to be loved." by W. Somerset Maugham, 'Of Human Bondage', 1915 "It is our duty to serve those who serve us" ~ Chris Kyle, Navy Seal credited with most sniper kills by US Seal. He is credited with 160 confirmed out of 225 kills during his service in Ramaldi Iraq. Killed by a soldier he was counseling who suffered from PTSD. "Speech belongs half to the speaker, half to the listener. The latter must prepare to receive it according to the motion it takes" by Michel Montaigne "Oh what a tangled web we weave, When first we practise to deceive!" Sir Walter Scott Always smile at the people you pass, especially children. It may just be what that one person needs at that very moment. And, smiling makes you feel better too! Emily George "Be strong when you are weak Be brave when you are scared Be humble when you are victorious" (Unknown) "Never sacrifice who you are just because someone has a problem with it" 101 Powerful Quotes "Some people are old at 18 and some are young at 90. Time is a concept that humans created." Yoko Ono "Moon River, wider than a mile, I'm crossing you in style some day. Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker, wherever you're going I'm going your way. Two drifters off to see the world. There's such a lot of world to see. We're after the same rainbow's end-- waiting 'round the bend, my huckleberry friend, Moon River and me." Lyrics by Johnny Mercer "When we choose to be parents, we accept another human being as part of ourselves, and a large part of our emotional selves will stay with that person as long as we live. From that time on, there will be another person on this earth whose orbit around us will affect us as surely as the moon affects the tides, and affect us in some ways more deeply than anyone else can. Our children are extensions of ourselves in ways our parents are not, nor our brothers and sisters, nor our spouses." Fred Rogers "When I was a boy and would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, 'Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.'
