“Most things get better by themselves; most things, in fact, are better in the morning.”
—Lewis Thomas (via julie911)
“To different minds, the same world is a hell, and a heaven.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (via magicdoeshappen)
“I believe that if, at the end of it all, according to our abilities, we have done something to make others a little happier, and something to make ourselves a little happier, that is about the best we can do. To make others less happy is a crime. To make ourselves unhappy is where all crime starts. We must try to contribute joy to the world. That is true no matter what our problems, our health, our circumstances. We must try. I didn’t always know this, and am happy I lived long enough to find it out.”
—Roger Ebert (via psychotherapy)
“Genius: the ability to prolong one’s childhood.”
—H.L. Mencken (via lifeserial)
“Thanksgiving, after all, is a word of action.”
—W.J. Cameron
“As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.”
—John F. Kennedy
“Excellence is to do a common thing in an uncommon way.”
—Booker T. Washington (via kari-shma)

“You can make more friends in two months by becoming interested in other people than you can in two years by trying to get other people interested in you.”
