Quotes that I like

Some of these quotes are touching ~ some are silly.... but I really like quotes and refer to them often, during the day-to-day grind. Somehow they always seem to make me smile. (I utilize multitudes of various quotes in a "Daily Smile" can that I have made up for friends and myself.)  ENJOY!!!!!   :O)

The deepest secret is that life is not a process of discovery, but a process of creation. You are not discovering yourself, but creating yourself anew. Seek, therefore, not to find out who you are, seek to determine who you want to be.

 

They might not need me; but they might. I'll let my head be just in sight; A smile as small as mine may be precisely their necessity. -Emily Dickenson

Courage in our own.

A smile costs nothing but gives much.  It enriches those who receive without making poorer those who give.  It takes but a moment, but the memory of it sometimes lasts forever.  None is so rich or mighty that he cannot get along without it and none is so poor that he cannot be made rich by it.  Yet a smile cannot be bought, begged, borrowed, or stolen, for it is something that is of no value to anyone until it is given away.  Some people are too tired to give you a smile.  Give them one of yours, as none needs a smile so much as he who has no more to give.
