The question for each of us to settle is not what we would do if we had the means, time, influence and educational advantages, but what we will do with the things we have.

Hamilton Wright Mabee

We usually get from other people just what we expect of them. If we are looking for friendship we will likely receive it. If our attitude is that of indifference, it will beget indifference. And if we are looking for a fight, we will in all likelihood be accommodated in that.

A bell is no bell 'til you ring it,
A song is no song 'til you sing it,
And love in your heart
Wasn't put there to stay -
Love isn't love
'Til you give it away.

Perhaps we're too embarrassed to change or too frightened of the consequences of showing that we actually care. But why not risk it anyway? Begin today.

Quotes  Books     

Believing in yourself is not just for you; it's for every person who has touched your life in a significant way and for every person your life will touch the same way five minutes from now, or five centuries from now.

Jaye Miller

How many times have we walked by someone on the street or in a hallway and instead of saying hello we pretend we don't see them? The truth is that all of us, deep down inside, have a need to be seen, acknowledged and appreciated. We are on a spiritual journey that can at times be very lonely. And one of the simplest and most effective ways to help our fellow traveler is to smile and say hello.

Ron's Quotes  Ron's Poems     

The effects of kindness are not always seen immediately. Sometimes it takes years until your kindness will pay off. Sometimes you never see the fruits of your labors, but they are there, deep inside of the soul of the one you touched.
