My Quote Box :

In Dreams and in Love there are no impossibilities

A Smile is the Key that fits the lock to everyones heart.

The Heart already knows what the mind can only Dream.

You may be the only light in someones darkness !!!

If we had no Winter the Spring would not be so pleasant...

HOPE is that one single star you can always find in a dark & cloudy sky.

What you are is God's gift to you ...
What you become is your gift to God.

Don't ever stop dreaming...our dreams are what keeps our hope and our spirit alive!
It doesn't matter how impossibly difficult they may seem to achieve, know that you already have all you need inside you to succeed, all you have to do is BELIEVE!!!

There are big ships and small ships.
But the best ship of all is friendship

Friends are those rare people who ask how you are and then wait for the answer

There is no distance too far between friends ...
For friendship gives wings to the Heart.

Sports is like war without the killing.

A closed mouth gathers no foot !!! ;-)

Don't take life too seriously; No one gets out alive

We may not always realize that every thing we do,
Affects not only our lives but touches others, too!

On course to achieving your BIG DREAMS,
Take care of the little things in life ...

True friendship comes when silence between two people is comfortable.

The most beautiful discovery true friends make is that they can grow separately without growing apart.

'Whenever God Closes One Door
He Always Opens Another,
Even Though Sometimes It's Hell in the Hallway.'

When you make the biggest mistake ever, something good comes from it.

The universe may not always play fair, but it’s got a hell of a sense of humour.

Some minds are like concrete... thoroughly mixed up and permanently set.

Happiness is not having what you want it’s wanting what you have...

Don't let your worries get the best of you; remember, Moses started out as a basket case.

A good friend is cheaper than therapy.

Friendship isn't a big thing - it's a million little things.

When life hands you lemons insist on a BOTTLE OF GIN to go with it.

When one door closes another one opens - but make sure you're not standing in the wrong place!!!!

When you realize you've made a mistake, take immediate steps to correct it.

Go confidently in the direction of your dreams!
Live the life you've imagined.

As you simplify your life, the laws of the universe will be simpler!!

Always remember the compliments you received..
Forget about the rude remarks!

Remember the three R's:
Respect for self;
Respect for others;
Responsibility for all your actions.

The world is round, and the place which may seem like the end may also be only the beginning.

Never laugh at anyone's dreams.
People who don't have dreams don't have much.

Love deeply and passionately.
You might get hurt but it's the only way to live life completely.

A friend is someone who thinks you’re a good egg
Even though you’re slightly cracked.
