Misery is only better than death because you can rise from it.

Choose love over hate, joy over sorrow, courage over fear, and hope over despair.

Smile in the face of sorrow; hope in the face of despair; persevere in the face of obstacles, and love in the face of hate.

More money less poverty. More greed more misery.

It is because of pain that you value pleasure, sorrow that you value joy, despair that you value hope, war that you value peace, and hate that you value love.

At the end of every dark storm is a bright rainbow.

To appreciate pleasure some had to experience pain; to appreciate joy some had to experience sorrow; to appreciate love some had to experience heartache; and to experience freedom some had to experience fear.

Love makes you strong when others are weak, brave when others are scared, hopeful when others are despairing and cheerful when others are sad.

Learn from roses; even when trampled they give off perfume, not despair.
