It is another day at Always Victoria and I came here not at all certain what I wanted to say but with a heart full of love. After much thought and finding that once again just as the last few days, things are not flowing as freely as I would like so rather than become frustrated and leave I will share a few quotes I enjoy with you. I hope you will enjoy the quotes I have chosen for you…

“Some of the shells that wash up on the beach were once very beautiful. We don’t know what kind of journey they had to take to get them in their fragile condition. The same is true for people. Be kind.”

” Love is the one treasure that multiplies by division. It is the one gift that grows bigger the more you take from it. It is the one business in which it pays to be an absolute spendthrift. You can give it away, throw it away, empty your pockets, shake the basket, turn the glass upside down, and tomorrow you will have more than ever.”

Spread love everywhere you go: first of all in your own house. Give love to your children, to your wife or husband, to a next door neighbor… Let no one ever come to you without leaving better or happier. Be the living expression of God’s kindness; kindness in your face, kindness in your eyes, kindness in your smile; kindness in your warm greeting.
Mother Teresa

*****************************************************************************************************
People are unreasonable, illogical and self-centered. Love them anyway. If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives. Do good anyway. If you are successful, you will win false friends and true enemies. Succeed anyway. The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway. Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable. Be honest and frank anyway. The biggest person with the biggest ideas can be shot down by the smallest person with the smallest mind. Think big anyway. What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight. Build anyway. People really need help but may attack if you help them. Help people anyway. Give the world the best you have and you might get kicked in the teeth. Give the world the best you’ve got anyway.

Bishop Abel Muzorewa
******************************************************************************************************
Your children are not your children.
They are the sons and daughters of Life’s longing for itself.
They come through you but not from you,
and though they are with you, and yet they belong not to you.
You may give them your love, but not your thoughts.
For they have their own thoughts.
You may house their bodies but not their souls,
for their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you.
For life goes not backward, nor tarries with yesterday.

Kahlil Gibran
******************************************************************************************************
Fear less, hope more;
Whine less, breathe more;
Talk less, say more;
Hate less, love more;
And all good things are yours.

Swedish Proverb
*****************************************************************************************************
“Relate with others, but relate with yourself also.
Love others, but love yourself also.
Go out! - the world is beautiful, adventurous;
it is a challenge, it enriches.
Go out fearlessly - there is nothing to lose,
there is everything to gain.

Osho

I hope you enjoyed these quotes as much as I do. I like not only to be loved, but also to be told that I am loved. I am not sure that you are of the same mind, but it is difficult for me to grasp and hold onto the thought that very many are not of that opinion , especially my visitors. This is the world of light and speech, and I shall take leave to tell you that you are very dear.

I strive and work to make this one of the world’s most special places… a place where you can rest and recharge and be inspired so please be patient with me over the next few weeks if there happens to be any problems for they will be very short lived. Thank you in advance for your patience.
