Peace
is the beauty of life. It is sunshine. It is the
smile of a child, the love of a mother, the joy
of a father, the togetherness of a family. It is
the advancement of man, the victory of a just cause,
the triumph of truth. Peace is all of these and
more and more.
-- Menachem

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.
-- Leo Buscaglia

happiness of life is made up of minute fractions --
the little soon forgotten charities of a kiss or smile,
a kind look, a heartfelt compliment, and the countless
infinitesimals of pleasurable and genial feeling.
-- Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Gratitude
is something of which none of us can give too much.
For on the smiles, the thanks we give, our little gestures

of life.

“teach myself to see each of us
through the lens of forgiveness
like we're stuck with each other (god forbid!)
teach myself to smile and stop and talk
to a whole other color kid
teach myself to be new in an instant
like the truth is accessible at any time
teach myself it's never really one or the other
there's a paradox in every paradigm.
-- Ani
DiFranco

glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand,
nor the kindly smile, nor the joy of companionship;
it is 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.

Waldo Emerson
