Was trying to find certain information in hard copies, hence flipping through some stored papers. Saw a printout containing some English quotes.
I sat down and re-read them...
When it's all over, it's not who you were. It's whether you made a difference. (by Bob Dole)
When our memories outweigh our dreams, we have grown old. (by Bill Clinton)
There is nothing permanent except change. (by Heraclitus)
Those who love deeply never grow old, they may die of old age, but they die young. (by A. W. Pinero)
Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy. (by Thich Nhat Hanh)
You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You must do the thing which you think you cannot do. (by Eleanor Roosevelt)
You never lose by loving. You always lose by holding back. (by Barbara De Angelis)
The bad news is time flies. The good news is you're the pilot. (by Michael Althsuler)
The golden moments in the stream of life rush past us, and we see nothing but sand; the angels come to visit us, and we only know them when they are gone. (by George Eliot)
It is better to wear out than to rust out. (by Richard Cumberland)
Life is a tragedy for those who feel, and a comedy for those who think. (by Jean de la Bruyere)
Live and work but do not forget to play, to have fun in life and really enjoy it. (by Eileen Caddy)
We come to love not by finding a perfect person, but by learning to see an imperfect person perfectly. (by Sam Keen)
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover. (by Mark Twain)
During my teen-age years, I was deeply addicted to the "Chicken Soup for the Soul" series. Each book costs more than RM40, if I'm not mistaken, but I really liked the stories inside.
Nowadays, am not sure if the Chicken Soup series are still the bestsellers (able to beat Harry Potter?), but with Internet, uplifting quotes are everywhere.
Although they are just nearby, are we aware of it?
