Keep it Simple.

If you are going to beat yourself up over something, use a feather rather than a stick.

"To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else - means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting."

Never judge a book by its cover.

As long as it makes you smile more than it makes you cry it's worthwhile.

You're never given anything in life that is more than you can handle.

If you have nothing nice to say don't say anything at all.

An eye for an eye will make the whole world blind.

Life is not measured by the breaths you take, but the moments that take your breath away....

If you haven't got anything nice to say then don't say anything....

If you always do what you've always done, you'll always get what you've always got!

And Don't look back, you're not going that way...
