Favorite Quotes to live by:
Live for the moments that take your breath away.
The saddest summary of life contains three descriptions: could have, might have, and should have.
Nothing you wear is more important than your smile.
The most important belief in life may be the realization of one's enduring potential.
Happiness cannot be traveled to, owned, earned, worn or consumed. Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace, and gratitude.
There's no script in life, we write it as we go along.
We accept the love we think we deserve.
Live without regrets.
Too many people spend money they haven't earned, to buy things they don't want, to impress people they don't like.
Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.
Life's too short to be sad or mad
All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood.
PHILOSOPHY
Life is short, make the most of every single day. Love life, love people, Carpe diem.
