‎"The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen." -  Elisabeth Kubler-Ross

Thanks, Libby Seiter Nelson for sharing this!

“We either make ourselves miserable, or we make ourselves strong. The amount of work is the same.”

quote: ayn rand

"Why do they always teach us that it's easy and evil to do what we want and that we need discipline to restrain ourselves? It's the hardest thing in the world - to do what we want. And it takes the greatest kind of courage. I mean, what we really want." - Ayn Rand

quote: the little prince

In one of the stars
I shall be living
In one of them
I shall be laughing
And so it will be
as if all the stars
were laughing
when you look
at the sky at night
and there is sweetness
in the laughter of all the stars
and in the memories
of those you love
The Little Prince, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

Thank you, Jeanette for sending sparkly love and the perfect sentiment. xo

great quote

"When we see others suffer like this, the worst thing to do is to listen to public officials who tell us, 'Don't worry, it couldn't happen here.'  Of course it could. To be human is to be vulnerable, and there is no way to take this away. A shared sense of vulnerability is what could change us all for the better."
-- Jim Wallis, on the crisis in Japan
