Class has a sense of humor. It knows that a good laugh is the best lubricant for oiling the machinery of human relations. Class never makes excuses. It takes its lumps and learns from past mistakes. Class bespeaks an aristocracy unrelated to ancestors or money. Some extremely wealthy people have no class at all, while others who are struggling to make ends meet are loaded with it. Class is real. You can't fake it. Class never tries to build itself up by tearing others down. Class is already up and need not attempt to look better by making others look worse. Everyone is comfortable with the person who has class because he is comfortable with himself. If you have class, you've got it made. If you don't have class, no matter what else you have, it won't make up for it.

I wanted a perfect ending. Now I've learned, the hard way, that some poems don't rhyme, and some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle, and end.

Too often we don't realize what we have until it is gone; Too often we wait too late to say "I'm sorry - I was wrong." Sometimes it seems we hurt the ones we hold dearest to our hearts; And we allow foolish things to tear our lives apart. Far too many times we let unimportant things into our minds; And then it's usually too late to see what made us blind.

Be sure that you appreciate everything you've got; and be thankful for the Little Things in Life that mean a lot.

Remember that you don't choose love. Love chooses you. All you can really do is accept it for all its mystery when it comes into your life, feel the way it fills you to overflowing, then reach out and give it away.

A friend is someone with whom you can really be yourself; One who appreciates the good in you, overlooks the bad in you, and brings out the best in you.

A friend is someone who understands silences as well as words, one who lifts you up and never lets you down, who makes you feel it's a pretty nice old world after all. A friend is one who knows all about you and loves you just the same.
