“Being honest may not get you a lot of friends, but it’ll always get you the right ones.”

“One thing you can’t hide – is when you’re crippled inside.”

No matter how hard we try to hide what’s inside, eventually through our words, countenance, or actions our heart is revealed.

“Everything is clearer when you are in love.”

“Creativity is a gift. It doesn’t come through if the air is cluttered.”

And yet, most of us fill our minds with such worry, stress, and chaos we forget that living in times of peace is possible.

“Count your age by friends, not years. Count your life by smiles, not tears.”

What a happy and positive way to view life and with that positivity even increase in friends and smiles.

“A dream you dream alone is only a dream. A dream you dream together is reality.”

“Turn off your mind, relax, and float downstream.”

Sometimes we just need to wind down and remind ourselves what truly matters in life and let the all the unnecessary stresses float away.

“There’s an alternative to violence. It’s to stay in bed and grow your hair.”

“Happiness is inside you, not another person.”

“We can’t help everyone, but everyone can help someone.”

The ripple effect of each person helping another could really change our world.

“What we’ve got to do is keep hope alive, because without it, we’ll sink.”

One of the most important things to nurture in our lives is hope. Life can be difficult and full of many obstacles, but also full of hope and opportunity.

“Happiness is just how you feel when you don’t feel miserable.”

Choose joy!

“Everything is as important as everything else.”

“Everybody loves you when you’re six foot in the ground.”

“Life is what happens while you are busy making other plans.”

It’s always best to remember to enjoy the moments you are in instead of hoping for better ones.

“Life is very short, and there’s no time fussing and fighting with my friends.”

“Love is a flower. You’ve got to let it grow.”

All good things take time and are worth the wait.

“Love is the greatest refreshment in life.”

Nothing gets the heart fluttering more than love and nothing makes life worth living more than love.

“If we cannot love ourselves, we cannot fully open to our ability to love others or our potential to create.”

“Love is a promise, love is a souvenir, once given never forgotten, never let it disappear.”

“It doesn’t matter how long my hair is or what color my skin is or whether I am a man or a woman.”

So many things in life really do matter, but none of them rely on outward appearance.

“There’s nowhere you can be that isn’t where you’re meant to be.”

Most always there are opportunities right before us if we are willing to see them.

“A mistake is only an error. It becomes a mistake when you fail to correct it.”

We learn more from our mistakes than our successes which can make them valuable.

“The more I see, the less I know for sure.”

“Music is everyone’s possession. It’s only publishers who think that people own it.”

“It’s weird not to be weird.”

Just enjoy life, have fun, and forget about being worried what other people are going to think.

“Everything will be OK in the end. If it’s not OK, it’s not the end.”

The older I get the more I realize things really do have a way of working themselves out.

“All we are saying is give peace a chance.”

When we give things a chance, sometimes the results can surprise us.

“Peace is not something you wish for. It’s something you make, something you do, something you are, and something you give away.”

It doesn’t just fall in our laps.

“Reality leaves a lot to imagination.”

“When you do something beautiful and nobody notices, do not be sad. For the sun every morning is a beautiful spectacle and yet most of the audience still sleeps.”

“Time you enjoy wasting was not wasted.”

Sometimes we just need a break – without feeling guilty about it.

“If everyone demanded peace instead of another television set, there’d be peace.”

“You don’t need anybody to tell you who you are or what you are. You are what you are.”

Always trying to please what others think you should be will never lead to true joy.

“Trying to please everybody is impossible – if you did that, you’d end up in the middle with nobody liking you. You’ve just got to make the decision about what you think is your best, and do it.”
