    Let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier.  Be the living expression of God's kindness: kindness in your face, kindness in your eyes, kindness in your smile.  -Mother Teresa

    This seems to be a favorite so ... in the words of Ruth

    The next person has another great quote, or the option to start us on a new line of thought Smile

    Here's another I really like:

    The most authentic thing about us 

    is our capacity to create, 

    to overcome, 

    to endure, 

    to transform, 

    to love, and 

    to be greater than our suffering.

    Ben Okri

    For those who don't care about quotes (maybe we should start a thread just for that!)...
