The one who smiles rather than rages, is always the stronger.

Turn your face to the sun, then the shadows fall behind you.

Judge no one, until you have stood in his place. (Johann Wolfgang von Goethe)

Life is like a mirror - if you give it a smile you'll get it again! :-)

The meaning of life is to give life a meaning

There comes a time in life when one has no choice but to go his own way. A time when one must realize his own dreams. A time for standing for your own beliefs.

If not now, when?

It's better to regret enjoyed instead of regretting not to have enjoyed.

And if this little light no longer shines brightly, then change something but fast!

When you learned that giving love is more important than being loved, being loved comes from alone.

Food for thought !!!!! Imagine that you have won in a competition the following price: Every morning, the bank provides you with 86,400 dollars in your bank account available. But this game has rules, just like every game has certain rules. The first rule is: Everything you have not spent during the day, will be taken away again, you can not simply transfer the money to another account, you can only spend it. But every morning when you awake, the bank will open a new account with 86,400 dollars for the day ahead. Second rule: the bank can finish the game without warning, at any time they can say: It's over. The game is over. They can close the account and you can get no new. What would you do?? You would buy everything you want? Not only for yourself, for all the people you love ...... perhaps even to people you do not know, because you never can spend all just for you alone ....... You'd try to spend every cent and use it right?? But this game is real, the reality is that each of us has a "magic account".... We only don't see it .... The bank is the magical time ..... Every morning when we wake up, we get 86,400 seconds of life for the day given in the evening and when we fall asleep, we will not be credited to the rest of the time .... What we have not lived in this day is lost, lost forever, yesterday is gone. Each morning begins with a refilled account, but the bank can cancel the account at any time, without warning .... So what do you do with your daily 86,400 seconds?? Are they not worth much more than the same amount in dollars? So start living your life! Have a nice day and use the time!!

Sometimes you hate most those you love most because they are the only ones who can really hurt you.

The life gives place to the one, who knows where he goes.

It does not matter what happens - Life goes on!

Every second that we rush to gain time, ultimately is lost time.

If we stop and linger, we win glorious hours.

Say to a man so often it goes ... how much you like him ..... because the day will come when it is too late !!!!!

The human body can survive days
without water, weeks without food!
But for many the soul can not survive
The thought of life without any love!

There are the strong that laugh with tears
and hide their own to make others happy to ...

Change it, Love it, Leave it

It must burn in your mind what you want to ignite in others!

Do first what is necessary, then what is possible and suddenly, you can do the impossible!

"Life is hard ... one more reason to take it lightly ..."

We ask that life must have meaning, but it has only exactly as much sense as we ourselves are able to give him. " Hermann Hesse

Trust is more substance to the conversation as a good mind.

"..Take people as they are, others are not available ... "

The man who can without touching and without speaking make a smile into your face, should be the man you give your heart to.

The art is not to get something, but still to want it, if you have it.

The sense of our life, is to see all the lovely
and overcome the negative sides too.

The beauty does not decide who you love
but love decides who is beautiful

Who fights can lose, who does not fight has already lost. (Berthold Brecht)

It's nice to be important but it is more important to be nice

Tell me and I'll forget it, Show it to me and I will remember, Involve me and I'll understand it! (Lao Tse)

If you are a woman or a man moving at a too high level and distance yourself too much and close for life and world, you will be trapped forever in the ivory tower and there are only guarantees in advertising. My motto: speed is not an achievement ... and grill  together rather than cook alone.

Each day you will not laugh is a lost day! " Attempt to make the best out of everything, and do not care what others (might) say.

Never judge the value of people quickly after a short time. Upstairs are moved waves, but the pearl is located at the bottom.
