Douglas Pagels quotes:

Each new day is a blank page in the diary of your life. The secret of success is in turning that diary into the best story you possibly can.

Each new day is a blank page in the diary of your life.

Keep believing in brighter days, finding ways for your dreams and wishes to come true. Giving you hope that is as certain as the sun, giving you strength of serenity as your guide.

There aren't many things as therapeutic as smiles and laughter. Whenever you look at things in a lighter vein, it shows that your heart is in the right place.

You're an original, an individual, a masterpiece. Celebrate that; don't let your uniqueness make you shy. Don't be someone other than the wonder you are. Every star is important to the sky.

Sometimes it's important to work for that pot of gold. But other times it's essential to take time off and to make sure that your most important decision in the day simply consists of choosing which color to slide down on the rainbow

Even if you can't just snap your fingers and make a dream come true, you can travel in the direction of your dream, every single day and you can shorten the distance between the two of you.

Along the road you travel, may the miles be a thousand times more lovely than lonely.

In all of our days our lives are always changing, tears come along as well as smiles... May you have rainbows after every storm, may you have hopes to keep you warm. And may you always have an angel by your side.

Your life can be what you want it to be... You'll make it through whatever comes along. Within you are so many answers. Understand, have courage, be strong.

It takes being an active participant in your life. But you are in the driver's seat, and you can determine the direction you want tomorrow to go in.

Sometimes you just have to be patient and brave and strong. If you don't know how, just make it up as you go along.

Some of the secret joys of living are not found by rushing from point A to point B, but by inventing some imaginary letters along the way.

Delight in the scenery of each day.

Nothing wastes more energy than worrying. The longer one carries a problem, the heavier it becomes. Don't take life too seriously. Live a life full of serenity, not of regrets.

Don't scrutinize people with a microscope; view them from a comfortable distance. And allow some room for compassion in the space the lies between you.

I am aware that I am less than some people prefer me to be, but most people are unaware that I am so much more than what they see.

Love is a wonderful gift. It's a present so precious words can barely begin to describe it. Love is a feeling, the deepest and sweetest of all. It's incredibly strong and amazingly gentle at the very same time. It is a blessing that should be counted every day. It is nourishment for the soul.

Life continually teaches. We eventually catch on.

Many of us have road maps we envision for the course we think our lives should take. It's important to get headed in the right direction, but don't get so caught up in the concerns over your destination that you forget to delight in the scenery of each new day. Remember that some of the secret joys of living are not found by rushing from point A to point B, but by inventing some imaginary letters along the way.

A friend is one of the nicest things you can have, and one of the best things you can be.

Love is a feeling, the deepest and sweetest of all. It's incredibly strong and amazingly gentle at the very same time.
