Words worth keeping

Many people lose the small joys in the hope for the big happiness.

All the world's a stage, And all the men and women merely players; They have their exits and their entrances; And one man in his time plays many parts, His acts being seven ages.

To burn with desire and keep quiet about it is the greatest punishment we can bring on ourselves.

Usually I'm remarkably good natured. Try me on a day that doesn't end in y.

Be grateful for what you already have while you pursue your goals. If you aren’t grateful for what you already have, what makes you think you would be happy with more.

I dream my painting and I paint my dream.

Forever is composed of nows.

Education is an admirable thing, but it is well to remember from time to time that nothing that is worth knowing can be taught.
