A positive attitude will not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort. -Herm Albright

Accept that occasionally you are going to run into people that you don't hit off with. It isn't that either one of you is better or worse, it just means that you are different. -Brian Tracy

Always remember others may hate you but those who hate you don't win unless you hate them. And then you destroy yourself. -Richard Nixon

If I can be of any help, you're in worse trouble than I thought. -Unknown

 It is easier to forgive an enemy than to forgive a friend. -William Blake

A winner knows how much he still has to learn, even when he is considered an expert by others; a loser wants to be considered an expert by others before he has even learned enough to know how little he knows. A winner knows what to fight for, and what to compromise on; a loser compromised on what he shouldn't, and fights for what isn't worthwhile fighting about. A winner shows he's sorry by making up for it; a loser says, "I'm sorry," but does the same thing the next time. A winner respects those who are superior to him, and tries to learn something from them; a loser resents those who are superior to him, and tries to find chinks in their armor. A winner has a healthy appreciation of his abilities, and a keen awareness of his limitations; a loser is oblivious both of his true abilities and his true limitations. A winner focuses, a loser sprays. A winner is sensitive to the atmosphere around him; a loser is sensitive only to his own feelings. A winner admits his prejudices, and tries to correct them in making judgments; a loser denies his prejudices, and thus becomes their lifelong captive. A winner recognizes that the only true authority is oral authority; a loser having little inner respect, tries to assume more external authority than his character can handle. A winner stops talking when he has made his point; a loser goes on until he has blunted his point. -Harris J. Sydney

Promise only what you can deliver. Then deliver more than you promise. -Unknown

Love your enemies just in case your friends turn out to be a bunch of bastards. -RA Dickson

The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand, nor the kindly smile, nor the joy of companionship it's the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when he discovers that someone else believes in him and is willing to trust him with his friendship. -Ralph Waldo Emerson

You've been there to hear my joys. You've been there to hear my sorrows. You've been there to share a joke, You've been there to make me smile. I'm so lucky to have found you. I'm so happy that you found me too. I'm hoping you'll be my friend forever. I'm hoping you'll want mine too. Let's promise to always be here for each other. Let's promise to be the shoulder we cry on. Let's promise to share the joys and triumphs. Let's promise to always be the one to rely on. Thank you for being my friend. -Unknown

I love you not only for what you have made of yourself, I love you because you have done more Than nay creed could have done to make Me good, and more than any fate could Have done to make me happy. You have don it without a touch, without A word, without a sign. You have done it by being yourself, Perhaps that is what being a friend means, After all. -Anonymous

Life isn't about keeping score. It's not about how many people call you and it's not about who you've dated, are dating, or haven't dated at all. It isn't about who you've kissed, what sport you play, or which guy or girl likes you. It's not about your shoes or hair or the color of skin or where you love or go to school. In fact, it's not about grades, money clothes, colleges that accept you or not. Life isn't about if you have lots of friends, or if you are alone, and it's not about how accepted or unaccepted you are. Life just isn't about that. But life is about who you love and who you hurt. It's about how you feel about yourself. It's about trust, happiness, and compassion. It's about sticking up for your friends and replacing inner hate with love. Life is about avoiding jealousy, overcoming ignorance, and building confidence. It's about what you say and what you mean. It's about seeing people for who they are and not what they have. Most of all, it is about choosing to use your life to touch someone else's in a way that could never have been achieved otherwise. These choices are what life's about. -Nike Ad

Hold a friend's hand through times of trial, let her find love through a hug and a smile; but also know when its time to let go—for each and every one of us must learn to grown. -Sharon A. Heilbrunn
