Live. Laugh. Love.


Live. Laugh. Love. These three simple words may just be the best philosophy to go by. However, some days, there are so many things that get in the way of living by these simple guidelines. I can’t help but wonder – wouldn't it all be so much easier if I managed to simply be in the moment? To laugh? To love? When I read these quotes it helps remind me. 

He has achieved success who has lived well, laughed often, and loved much;Who has enjoyed the trust of pure women, the respect of intelligent men and the love of little children;Who has filled his niche and accomplished his task;Who has never lacked appreciation of Earth’s beauty or failed to express it;Who has left the world better than he found it,Whether an improved poppy, a perfect poem, or a rescued soul;Who has always looked for the best in others and given them the best he had;Whose life was an inspiration;Whose memory a benediction. ~ “Success” by Bessie Anderson Stanley


The price of anything is the amount of life you exchange for it. ~ Henry David Thoreau




People were created to be loved. Things were created to be used. The reason the world is in chaos, is because things are being loved, and people are being used. ~ Unknown author


Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds. ~ Albert Einstein



In three words I can sum up everything I know about life: It goes on. ~ Robert Frost

I am thankful for laughter, except when milk comes out of my nose. ~ Woody Allen



Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things. ~ Robert Brault
