Quotations:

1. “Be glad of life because it gives you the chance to love, to work, to play, and to look up at the stars.”

2. “Gratitude is the inward feeling of kindness received. Thankfulness is the
natural impulse to express that feeling. Thanksgiving is the following of
that impulse.”

3. “Some people are so afraid do die that they never begin to live.”

4. "Time is

Too slow for those who wait,

Too swift for those who fear,

Too long for those who grieve,

Too short for those who rejoice,

But for those who love

Time is not."

5. “Use what talents you possess; the woods would be very silent if no birds sang except those that sang best.”
