We become not a melting pot but a beautiful mosaic.
Different people, different beliefs,
different yearnings, different hopes, different dreams.
- Jimmy Carter

I think what's going on in Guantanamo Bay
and other places is a disgrace to the U.S.A.
I wouldn't say it's the cause of terrorism,
but it has given impetus and excuses to potential terrorists
to lash out at our country and justify their despicable acts.
- Jimmy Carter

You can do what you have to do,
and sometimes you can do it
even better than you think you can.
- Jimmy Carter

To deal with individual human needs
at the everyday level can be noble sometimes.

then you ultimately probe for
the lowest common denominator of human achievement.
- Jimmy Carter

It's not necessary to fear the prospect of failure
but to be determined not to fail.
- Jimmy Carter

I hate to see complacency prevail in our lives
when it's so directly contrary to the teaching of Christ.
- Jimmy Carter

Like music and art, love of nature is a common language
that can transcend political or social boundaries.
- Jimmy Carter

The awareness that health is dependent
upon habits that we control
makes us the first generation in history
that to a large extent determines its own destiny.
- Jimmy Carter

Laugh when you can,
apologize when you should,
and let go of what you can't change.
Life's too short to be anything... but happy.

The truth. It is a beautiful and terrible thing,
and should be treated with caution.

The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy
is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quiet,
alone with the heavens, nature and God.
Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be.
- Anne Frank

If a man is called to be a street sweeper,
he should sweep streets even as Michelangelo painted,
or Beethoven composed music, or Shakespeare wrote poetry.
He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts
of heaven and earth will pause to say,
here lived a great street sweeper who did his job well.
- Martin Luther King, Jr.

Two things a man should never be angry at:
what he can help,
and what he cannot help.

your work need not be lost;
that is where they should be.
Now put foundations under them.

which each of us does often,

the door directly to what should be.

we should not only see life differently,

To sin by silence when they should protest makes cowards of men.

Instead of comparing our lot with that
of those who are more fortunate than we are,

of the great majority of our fellow men.
It then appears that we are among the privileged.

Each contact with a human being is so rare, so precious,
one should preserve it.

Why should we be in such desperate haste to succeed,
and in such desperate enterprises?
If a man does not keep pace with his companions,
perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer.

It's YOUR time - it's YOUR life -
YOU get to choose how you use it. T
here is no way that your life is "supposed" to be.
Your parents had their vision for your life.
Your boss, your spouse, your church, your friends,
and even the family next door have their ideas
of how you should live your life.
What about YOUR vision for your life?
What do YOU want?
YES, it matters what you want.
YES you can have what you want.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

You should never be content with so little,
when you can reach out for something big.
- Charles L. Allen
(This quote is about making a big difference
in the world - not about greed)

I should not wish for wealth and power,

or you should stop doing it.

Consider being more acceptive of your partner's behaviors.
It is unlikely that they are intentionally aggravating you.
Almost always, they are just doing what they think they should do.
Try setting aside your own rules for how they should behave,
and adopt a live-and-let-live attitude.
Your relationship will become stronger and happier if you do.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

If the stars should appear
but one night every thousand years
how man would marvel and stare.

NO ONE has been granted the authority to tell me
how my life should be lived.
I answer only to myself and to Spirit.

If a man does not make new acquaintances
as he advances through life,
he will soon find himself alone.
A man, sir, should keep his friendships in constant repair.

Our prayers should be for blessings in general,
for God knows best what is good for us.
- Socrates

While you can and should keep your composure and happiness
regardless of circumstances - regardless of your friends,
family and co-workers - regardless of gossip, sarcasm, and negativity.
Nonetheless, life is much easier and more pleasant
when you spend as much time as possible
in the company of enthusiastic positive people -
not necessarily those who agree with you,
but those who respect your right to your point of view.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler.
- Albert Einstein

Life should not be a journey to the grave
with the intention of arriving safely
in a pretty and well preserved body,

thoroughly used up, totally worn out,
and loudly proclaiming, "Wow! What a Ride!"
- Hunter S. Thompson

We should not pretend to understand

also come to an understanding of its inadequacy.

It is then burst into flame

We should all be thankful for those people
who rekindle the inner spirit.

you should work as if there were -
to the very last minute - a chance to lose it.
This is battle, this is politics, this is anything.

I think, at a child's birth,
if a mother could ask a fairy godmother
to endow it with the most useful gift,
that gift should be curiosity.

If there is anything that we wish to change in the child,
we should first examine it and see whether it is
not something that could better be changed in ourselves.

Things should be made as simple as possible, but not any simpler.

only by the intellect.
The judgment of the intellect
is only part of the truth.
