In life, surround yourself with those who light your path.

Occupy your mind with good thoughts.


The gift of speech is a wonderful gift.

May I use this gift with kindness.

May I be slow to utter harsh words, hurtful words and words spoken in anger.


Reflection of mountains in lake

“There is a pleasure in the pathless woods,
There is a rapture on the lonely shore,
There is society, where none intrudes,
By the deep sea, and music in its roar:
I love not Man the less, but Nature more.”

~ Lord Byron

“Success is liking yourself, liking what you do, and liking how you do it.”
~ Maya Angelou

Don’t cry over the past, it’s gone.
Don’t stress about the future, it hasn’t arrived.
Live in the present and make it beautiful.

“Real silence is the cessation of talking — of both the mouth and of the mind. This is not the kind of silence that oppresses us. It is a very elegant kind of silence, a very powerful kind of silence. It is the silence that heals and nourishes us.”

“For there to be peace in the world, the nations must live in peace.
For there to be peace among nations, cities must not rise up against one another.
For there to be peace in the cities, neighbours must get on well with one another.
For there to be peace among neighbours, harmony must reign in the home.
For there to be harmony at home, it must be found in your own heart.”
