One of the greatest titles we can have is "old friend."

We never appreciate how important old friends are until we are older.

The problem is we need to start our old friendships when we are young.

We then have to nurture and grow those friendships over our middle age

when a busy life and changing geographies

can cause us to neglect those friends.

Today is the day to invest in those people

we hope will call us "old friend" in the years to come.

- Grant Fairley

I believe that everything happens for a reason.

People change so that you can learn to let go,

things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right,

you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself,

and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.

- Marilyn Monroe

Never believe that a few caring people can't change the world.

It's not the situation that's causing your stress,

We cannot change our past.

We cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way.

We cannot change the inevitable.

and 90% how I react to it.

Old deeds for old people, and new deeds for new.

- Henry David Thoreau

The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life.

Attitude to me is more important than facts.

It is more important than the past, than education, than money,

than circumstances, than failures, than success,

than what other people think or say or do.

It is more important than appearance, gift, or skill.

It will make or break a company ... a church ... a home.

The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day

regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day.

We cannot change our past ...

we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way.

We cannot change the inevitable.

The only thing we can do is play on the string we have,

and that is our attitude.

I am convinced that life is 10 percent what happens to me

and 90 percent how I react to it.

And so it is with you ...

we are in charge of our attitudes.

- Charles Swindoll

or too menial when offered to Thee in loving service.

- Paramahansa Yogananda

When you are old and grey and full of sleep,

And nodding by the fire, take down this book,

And slowly read, and dream of the soft look

Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep;

How many loved your moments of glad grace,

And loved your beauty with love false or true,

But one man loved the pilgrim Soul in you,

And loved the sorrows of your changing face;

And bending down beside the glowing bars,

Murmur, a little sadly, how Love fled

And paced upon the mountains overhead

And hid his face amid a crowd of stars.
