Sargy Mann

Sargy Mann  1937
I had to sort of re-invent painting for myself, it seemed sort of more or less impossible, but if you’re determined to keep on going, you know you don’t need to give up because if your subject is your own experience then as long as you’re having an experience you’ve got a subject, and that has turned out to be true, even into total blindness.

Steve Maraboli

Every set-back bears with it the seeds of a come-back.


Every time I thought I was being rejected from something good, I was actually being re-directed to something better.

Steve Maraboli
I will be generous with my love today. I will sprinkle compliments and uplifting words everywhere I go. I will do this knowing that my words are like seeds and when they fall on fertile soil a reflection of those seeds will grow into something greater.


Let go of the people who dull your shine, poison your spirit and bring your drama. Cancel your subscription to their issues.


The only permission, the only validation and the only opinion that matters in our quest for greatness is our own.


We all make mistakes, have struggles and even regret things in our past. But, you are not your mistakes, you are not your struggles and you are here NOW with the power to shape your day and your future.

Meghan Markle  1981
At the end of the day I am just really proud of who I am and where I come from, and we have never put any focus on that, we’ve just focused on who we are as a couple, and so when you take all those extra layers away, and all of that noise, I think it makes it easy to just enjoy being together and tune all the rest of it out.

Spiritual Quotes To Live By

Ralph Marston
Every day is a day to be thankful. Life’s abundance has no limit, and gratitude is what keeps abundance flowing. In every circumstance there is something for which to be thankful. Even when there seems to be nothing else, there is hope.

Matthew-Suzanne Ward

Matthew-Suzanne Ward
Knowing that you and God and every other of God’s creations are inseparable is love. Knowing that Earth is a sentient, conscious life herself and respecting all of her life forms is love. Realizing that no one can know others at Soul level and therefore does not judge them, but rather does not condone an action seen as injurious, is love.


Listening to one’s Godself is love. Living the kind of life that engenders loving self is love. Feeling joy yourself when you see it in others is love. Doing something that brings joy to another is love. Forgiveness of self and others is love. Sharing your resources with full heart is love. Doing good deeds without attaching expectations is love. Feeling peace of heart and mind is love. The quiet thrill of seeing a sunset or hearing a songbird is love, and a smile is one of the simplest and most radiating expressions of love.

Somerset Maugham

Somerset Maugham  1874 – 1965
The passing moment is all that we can be sure of, it is only common sense to extract its utmost value from it.

A free man is someone who is true to himself. Who follows his dreams and turns them into reality. You have to put fear to one side, it will always be there, but you have to follow your path.
