D. H. Lawrence "Love is the flower of life, and blossoms unexpectedly and without law, and must be plucked where it is found, and enjoyed for the brief hour of its duration." Audrey Hepburn "For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone." Helen Keller "Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence." |
