Quotes to Keep You on the Boat :)

          I thought I would take the time to share some of my favorite quotes. These quotes, in one way or another, have helped me "get through" events that life has subjected me to. Enjoy (:

"For attractive lips, speak words of kindness. For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people. For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry. For beautiful hair, let a child run his or her fingers through it once a day. For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone. People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed and redeemed; never throw out anyone. Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you'll find one at the end of each of your arms. As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself, the other for helping others. The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mole but the true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It is the caring that she lovingly gives the passion that she shows. The beauty of a woman grows with the passing years."
-Audrey Hepburn

"When a train passes through a tunnel & it gets dark, you don't throw away the ticket & jump off. You sit still & trust the engineer."

"What others do to you doesn't define you; it's what you do to yourself that matters."

"If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change."
- Wayne Dyer

"The simplest things can be the most complex things. The reason for that? It might very well be because we make those simple things complex. Hmmm . . ."
-Words of a Wise Daughter

"We are each of us angels, with only one wing & the only way we can fly is by embracing one another."

"In the pain, the agony & the heroic endeavors of life, we pass through a refiner's fire & the insignificant & the unimportant in our lives can melt away the dross & make our faith bright, intact & strong.
