"I Am Easily Satisfied With the Very Best."

Sunday January 9, 2011

I really enjoy this line by Winston Churchill. Surely he was an extraordinary human being. Every one knows him for his public speaking skills, and fiery speeches. But few know that Winston Churchill suffered from a speech disorder. Is it not amazing that despite a potentially glaring flaw, Churchill became one of the most famous orators?

We often shy away from pursuing our dream because we do not have the necessary tools. But if we take a leaf out of Churchill's book, we can be greatly inspired.

"At the Touch of Love, Everyone Becomes a Poet."

Friday January 7, 2011

This quote by Plato makes me wonder about love. Why is love such an overpowering emotion? Why do we fall in love?

Love is the elixir that created this world. Love is the magic pill that makes us feel young and energetic.

Fall in love with love. Make the most of this winter by exchanging love messages with your sweetheart. If your lover is in another part of the world, make a heart-to-heart connection with these long distance love quotes. Maybe absence does make the heart grow fonder.

Come February, we will celebrate Valentine's Day with love quotes and love sayings.  But why wait for a special day to celebrate love? When you are in love, every day is a celebration.

My Fair Lady

Audrey Hepburn had grace and beauty. Her beauty was not limited to the skin; she was a person with a heart of gold. The recipient of an Oscar award, Audrey worked hard as an ambassador of UNICEF. She visited many countries to help poor and underprivileged children. Learn to live a meaningful life like Audrey Hepburn did.
