We Restore Hope -

A preoccupation with the future not only prevents us from seeing the present as it is but often prompts us to rearrange the past. ~Eric Hoffer

Be happy. Talk happiness. Happiness calls out responsive gladness in others. There is enough sadness in the world without yoursðnever doubt the excellence and permanence of what is yet to be. Join the great company of those who make the barren places of life fruitful with kindness. Your success and happiness lie in you. The great enduring realities are love and service. Resolve to keep happy and your joy and you shall form an invincible host against difficulties.

Helen Keller

Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no one’s definition of your life; define yourself. ~Harvey Fierstein

Very often a change of self is needed more than a change of scene. ~Arthur Christopher Benson

Remember, if you’re headed in the wrong direction, God allows U-turns! ~Allison Gappa Bottke

What soap is to the body, laughter is to the soul. ~Yiddish Proverb

A true friend never gets in your way unless you happen to be going down. ~Arnold Glasow

About all you can do in life is be who you are. Some people will love you for you. Most will love you for what you can do for them, and some won’t like you at all.
-Rita Mae Brown

The block of granite which was an obstacle in the pathway of the weak, became a stepping-stone in the pathway of the strong. ~Thomas Carlyle
