A youth, when at home, should be filial and, abroad, respectful to his elders. He should be earnest and truthful. He should overflow in love to all and cultivate the friendship of the good.

The loss of young first love is so painful that it borders on the ludicrous.
— Maya Angelou

Find a beautiful piece of art.

— Abraham Lincoln

A scholar who cherishes the love of comfort is not fit to be deemed a scholar.

It is not enough to say we must not wage war. It is necessary to love peace and sacrifice for it.
— Martin Luther King, Jr.

— Wayne Dyer

I always joke that my kids’ favorite holiday is Father’s Day. They love the way I celebrate the occasion by writing each of them a thank-you letter and a generous check. It’s my way of letting them know how much I appreciate the great pleasure and privilege of being their dad.
— Wayne Dyer

When you face a ‘performance’ that might provoke the ‘I’m scared’ response, choose love and approach your opportunity as a chance to dance with God. It’s more fun than ‘Dancing with the Stars!’
— Wayne Dyer

Fear is present when we forget that we are a part of God’s divine design.

— Dolly Parton

Of course, ‘I Will Always Love You’ is the biggest song so far in my career. I’m famous for several, but that one has been recorded by more people and made me more money, I think, than all of them. But that song did come from a true and deep place in my heart.

That’s what I see. That’s the America I know!

Basically, when you get to my age, you’ll really measure your success in life by how many of the people you want to have love you actually do love you.
— Warren Buffett

The only way to get love is to be lovable. It’s very irritating if you have a lot of money. You’d like to think you could write a check: ‘I’ll buy a million dollars’ worth of love.’ But it doesn’t work that way. The more you give love away, the more you get.

— Francois de La Rochefoucauld

I love all types of music. Jazz, classical, blues, rock, hip-hop. I often write scripts to instrumentals like a hip-hop artist. Music inspires me to write. It’s either music playing or completely silent. Sometimes distant sound fuels you. In New York there’s always a buzzing beneath you.
