I wish I'd said THAT!

Here are some of the wonderful quotes that "have run into me" over the past couple of weeks.  I paticularly like the one about duct tape!

"The difference between try and triumph is a little umph." - Unknown   "He stands erect by bending over the fallen. He rises by lifting others." Robert Green Ingersoll  

"There is nothing so pitiful as a young cynic because he has gone from knowing nothing to believing nothing." Maya Angelou  

"I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free" Michel Angelo  

"Every time you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing." -Mother Teresa  

To laugh often and love much;
To win respect of intelligent people;
And the affection of children;
To earn the approbation of honest critics
And endure the betrayal of false friends;
To appreciate beauty;
To find the best in others;
To give one's self;
To leave the world a little better,
Whether by a healthy child,
A garden patch,
Or redeemed social condition;
To have played and laughed with enthusiasm
And sung with exultation;
To know even one life has breathed easier Because you have lived...
This is to have succeeded.

-Ralph Waldo Emerson

"Hope sees the invisible, feels the intangible and achieves the impossible." - Charles Caleb Colton  

"Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it." -William Arthur Ward  

A Coach is someone who tells you what you don't want to hear ...has you see what you don't want to see...so you can become the person you've always wanted to become...Tiger Woods (Ah... sounds like Tiger could use a life coach in addition to all of his golf coaches!) 

"Perfection is not when there is no more to add, but rather no more to take away"......Antoine De Saint-Exupery"

"Duct tape is like the force. It has a light side, a dark side, and it holds the universe together.' - Carl Zwanzig  

"The way to develop decisiveness is to start right where you are, with the very next question you face." - Napoleon Hill    

"They say there are two types of people in the world. There are those who, when presented with a glass that is half-full, say: this glass is half full. And then there are those who say: this glass is half-empty. The world belongs, however, to those who look at the glass and say: "What's up with this glass? Excuse me?... This is my glass? I don't think so. My glass was full! And it was a bigger glass!" Terry Pratchett
