Like Chyrlann, the last one really stood out for me.
Everyone has assets and it can only help to recognize them.   Great message.

These are great, good starters to a day! But I love the last one most of
all. Why would anyone hesitate even for a moment to shine the light of another back on them? When someone has a special gift; even a smile, kind words, generosity, or shows gratitude, they are all riches another has to give. It is so easy to simply look into the eyes of another or listen to what they say, to see their riches. I love that last one! Thanks for sharing!

On thoughts

 

Thank you for these gems.  I'm a worrier so H W Beecher's thought about two handles-- anxiety or faith-- really helps me.

The only way to have a friend is to be one
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Among all the fine qoutes, the one I liked the best was this one. One here means to be one with your self, and if you are, the self is your best friend. Fragmented, your friendsip also will  not be full.
