Today’s quote reminds me that it is better to give than to receive. Giving of yourself, is many times the greatest gift you can give a person…and yourself…

“I don’t know what your destiny will be, but one thing I do know: the only ones among you who will be really happy are those who have sought and found how to serve.”

~Albert Schweitzer

This quote by Maya Angelou makes me think about speeches I’ve heard, things friends & family have said to me and more; and even though, I don’t always remember exactly what was said, I definitely remember the feelings associated. Whether good or not so good, it’s true, people do remember how you made them feel, so aim to make people feel good!

“I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”

~Maya Angelou

When I saw this quote I knew I had to post it. We should live our lives as if we’re constantly being watched by the world…

“Govern thy life and thoughts as if the whole world were to see the one, and read the other.”

~Thomas Fuller

“Be yourself. Above all, let who you are, what you are, what you believe, shine through every sentence you write, every piece you finish.”

~John Jakes

“The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands in times of challenge and controversy.”

~Martin Luther King, Jr.
