“A good deal happens in a man's life that he isn't responsible for. Fortunate openings occur; but it is safe to remember that such "breaks" are occurring all the time, and other things being equal, the advantage goes to the man who is ready.”
Lawrence Downs
“I am responsible. Although I may not be able to prevent the worst from happening, I am responsible for my attitude toward the inevitable misfortunes that darken life. Bad things do happen; how I respond to them defines my character and the quality of my life. I can choose to sit in perpetual sadness, immobilized by the gravity of my loss, or I can choose to rise from the pain and treasure the most precious gift I have – life itself.”
Walter Anderson
“Life is like a gift. we all wanna open it and see what's inside. But a gift is never like another.”
Bram Mesland
“I should stop myself from dying if a good joke or a good idea occurred to me”
Voltaire
“Be on the alert to recognize your prime at whatever time of your life it may occur.”
Muriel Spark
“A positive response has occurred and we hope to continue to work together with the community to have a nicer place to live.”
Danny Saenz
“Changes that used to occur over quarters are literally occurring over months.”
