"You have it easily in your power to increase the sum total of this world’s happiness now. How? By giving a few words of sincere appreciation to someone who is lonely or discouraged. Perhaps you will forget tomorrow the kind words you say today, but the recipient may cherish them over a lifetime."

~Dale Carnegie

"So, this is my life. And I want you to know that I am both happy and sad and I’m still trying to figure out how that could be."

~Stephen Chbosky

"Do what you feel in your heart to be right- for you’ll be criticized anyway. You’ll be damned if you do, and damned if you don’t."

~Eleanor Roosevelt
