A beautiful woman..

A beautiful woman uses her lips for Truth, her voice for Kindness, her ears for Compassion, her hands for Charity and her heart for Love. For those who do not like her, she uses Prayer.

Ellen DeGeneres Quotes

Here are the values that I stand for: honesty, equality, kindness, compassion, treating people the way you want to be treated and helping those in need. To me, those are traditional values.

It makes a big difference in your life when you stay positive.

Our flaws are what makes us human. If we can accept them as part of who we are, they really don't even have to be an issue.

Follow your passion. Stay true to yourself. Never follow someone else's path unless you're in the woods and you're lost and you see a path. By all means, you should follow that.

My point is, life is about balance. The good and the bad. The highs and the lows. The pina and the colada.

Beauty is about being comfortable in your own skin. It's about knowing and accepting who you are.

So many people prefer to live in drama because it's comfortable. It's like someone staying in a bad marriage or relationship - it's actually easier to stay because they know what to expect every day, versus leaving and not knowing what to expect.

I'm not an activist; I don't look for controversy. I'm not a political person, but I'm a person with compassion. I care passionately about equal rights. I care about human rights. I care about animal rights. 

Sometimes you can't see yourself clearly until you see yourself through the eyes of others.

My grandmother started walking five miles a day when she was sixty. She's ninety-seven now, and we don't know where the hell she is.

Laugh. Laugh as much as you can. Laugh until you cry. Cry until you laugh. Keep doing it even if people are passing you on the street saying, "I can't tell if that person is laughing or crying, but either way they seem crazy, let's walk faster." Emote. It's okay. It shows you are thinking and feeling.

Do things that make you happy, within the confines of the legal system.

Most comedy is based on getting a laugh at somebody else's expense. And I find that that's just a form of bullying in a major way. So I want to be an example that you can be funny and be kind, and make people laugh without hurting somebody else's feelings.

I prefer to believe that people are good and honest and respect me enough to tell me the truth. It’s not easy to find those people all the time, but they’re out there.

We focus so much on our differences, and that is creating, I think, a lot of chaos and negativity and bullying in the world. And I think if everybody focused on what we all have in common - which is - we all want to be happy.

True beauty is not related to what color your hair is or what color your eyes are. True beauty is about who you are as a human being, your principles, your moral compass.

If we're destroying our trees and destroying our environment and hurting animals and hurting one another and all that stuff, there's got to be a very powerful energy to fight that. I think we need more love in the world. We need more kindness, more compassion, more joy, more laughter. I definitely want to contribute to that.

I work really hard at trying to see the big picture and not getting stuck in ego. I believe we're all put on this planet for a purpose, and we all have a different purpose... When you connect with that love and that compassion, that's when everything unfolds.

I learned compassion from being discriminated against. Everything bad that's ever happened to me has taught me compassion.

I was raised in an atmosphere of 'everything's fine.' But as I got older, I was like, 'Well no, everything's not fine. There is stuff that's sad.' I am a really sensitive person. I think I am too sensitive sometimes.

I enjoy growing older and wiser and learning from my mistakes every single day.

When you take risks, you learn that there will be times when you succeed and there will be times when you fail, and both are equally important.

The thing everyone should realize is that the key to happiness is being happy by yourself and for yourself.

So be who you really are. Embrace who you are. Literally. Hug yourself. Accept who you are. Unless you’re a serial killer.

Never define yourself by your relationship status, your income or your looks. It's your generosity, kindness and compassion that counts.

Be nice.

Be nice to people because the world is a shitty place and we all need a little help sometimes. ~unknown

Be smart. Be thoughtful. And be generous.

The sexiest thing in the entire world is being really smart. And being thoughtful. And being generous. Everything else is crap, I promise you. It’s just crap that people try to sell to you to make you feel like less. So don’t buy it. Be smart. Be thoughtful. And be generous.~ Ashton Kutcher

Inspiring quotes by Leo Buscaglia

Too often, we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.

Your talent is God's gift to you. What you do with it is your gift back to God.

A single rose can be my garden... a single friend, my world.

Love is always bestowed as a gift - freely, willingly and without expectation. We don't love to be loved; we love to love.

I have a very strong feeling that the opposite of love is not hate - it's apathy. It's not giving a damn.

Love is life. And if you miss love, you miss life.

I still get wildly enthusiastic about little things... I play with leaves. I skip down the street and run against the wind.

Don't brood. Get on with living and loving. You don't have forever.

What love we've given, we'll have forever. What love we fail to give, will be lost for all eternity.

The easiest thing to be in the world is you. The most difficult thing to be is what other people want you to be. Don't let them put you in that position.

Death is a challenge. It tells us not to waste time... It tells us to tell each other right now that we love each other.

Change is the end result of all true learning.

Never idealize others. They will never live up to your expectations.

What we call the secret of happiness is no more a secret than our willingness to choose life.

The fact that I can plant a seed and it becomes a flower, share a bit of knowledge and it becomes another's, smile at someone and receive a smile in return, are to me continual spiritual exercises.

Worry never robs tomorrow of its sorrow, it only saps today of its joy.

Love is always open arms. If you close your arms about love you will find that you are left holding only yourself.

Don't walk in my head with your dirty feet.

I exist, I am, I am here, I am becoming, I make my own life and no one else makes it for me. I must face my own shortcomings, mistakes, transgressions. No one can suffer my non-being as I do, but tomorrow is another day, and I must decide to leave my bed and live again. And if I fail, I don't have the comfort of blaming you or life or God.

We seem to gain wisdom more readily through our failures than through our successes. We always think of failure as the antithesis of success, but it isn't. Success often lies just the other side of failure.

To love is to risk, not being loved in return. To hope is to risk pain. To try is to risk failure. but risk must be taken because the greatest hazard in my life is to risk nothing.

After all, the wrong is done. It is past and cannot be changed. We have only the present and the future upon which to move forward.

Living Loving and Learning by Leo Buscaglia

Generosity

When God blesses you financially, don't raise your STANDARD OF LIVING. Raise your STANDARD OF GIVING. ~Mark Batterson

The fact that you’re struggling doesn’t make you a burden.

The fact that you’re struggling doesn’t make you a burden. It doesn’t make you unloveable or undesirable or undeserving of care. It doesn’t make you too much or too sensitive or too needy. It makes you human. Everyone struggles. Everyone has a difficult time coping, and at times, we all fall apart. During these times, we aren’t always easy to be around — and that’s okay. No one is easy to be around one hundred percent of the time. Yes, you may sometimes be unpleasant or difficult. And yes, you may sometimes do or say things that make the people around you feel helpless or sad. But those things aren’t all of who you are and they certainly don’t discount your worth as a human being. The truth is that you can be struggling and still be loved. You can be difficult and still be cared for. You can be less than perfect, and still be deserving of compassion and kindness. ~Daniell Koepke

I do believe.

I do believe we’re all connected. I do believe in positive energy. I do believe in the power of prayer. I do believe in putting good out into the world. And I believe in taking care of each other.~Harvey Fierstein
