It is difficult enough for me to forget the events I witnessed almost 40 years ago when I was just a little girl and that is why I react more emotionally to recent developments. For a change, I thought I'd focus on inspirational quotations instead of jokes to infuse wisdom, hope and kindness into our spirits as we begin a brand new day. May God bless our nation with peace, harmony and unity and may the Almighty restrain those who want to do evil deeds in our land. I hope you will be inspired by the youtube video clip and this set of quotations. Have a nice day and a great weekend!

BEAUTIFUL QUOTATIONS OF MOTHER THERESA
Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies.
We, the unwilling, led by the unknowing, are doing the impossible for the ungrateful. We have done so much, for so long, with so little, we are now qualified to do anything with nothing.
Do not think that love, in order to be genuine, has to be extraordinary. What we need is to love without getting tired.
Do not wait for leaders; do it alone, person to person.
Even the rich are hungry for love, for being cared for, for being wanted, for having someone to call their own.
Every time you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing.
God doesn't require us to succeed; he only requires that you try.
Good works are links that form a chain of love.
I am a little pencil in the hand of a writing God who is sending a love letter to the world.
I do not pray for success, I ask for faithfulness.
I have found the paradox, that if you love until it hurts, there can be no more hurt, only more love.
I want you to be concerned about your next door neighbor. Do you know your next door neighbor?
If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other.
If we want a love message to be heard, it has got to be sent out. To keep a lamp burning, we have to keep putting oil in it.
In this life we cannot do great things. We can only do small things with great love.
Intense love does not measure, it just gives.
It is a kingly act to assist the fallen.
It is impossible to walk rapidly and be unhappy.
It is not the magnitude of our actions but the amount of love that is put into them that matters.
Joy is a net of love by which you can catch souls.
Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless.
Let us always meet each other with smile, for the smile is the beginning of love.
Let us touch the dying, the poor, the lonely and the unwanted according to the graces we have received and let us not be ashamed or slow to do the humble work.
Love begins at home, and it is not how much we do... but how much love we put in that action.
Love begins by taking care of the closest ones - the ones at home.
Love is a fruit in season at all times, and within reach of every hand.
If you can't feed a hundred people, then feed just one.
If you judge people, you have no time to love them.
Peace begins with a smile.
Spread love everywhere you go. Let no one ever come to you without leaving happier.
The success of love is in the loving - it is not in the result of loving. Of course it is natural in love to want the best for the other person, but whether it turns out that way or not does not determine the value of what we have done.
There are no great things, only small things with great love. Happy are those.
There is more hunger in the world for love and appreciation in this world than for bread.
We can do no great things, only small things with great love.
We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature - trees, flowers, grass- grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence... We need silence to be able to touch souls.
If you want a love message to be heard, it has got to be sent out. To keep a lamp burning, we have to keep putting oil in it.

QUOTES BY MARGARET MEAD
Margaret Mead was an American cultural anthropologist. Born in 1901, she died in NYC in 1978. She was both respected and controversial. An adademic, a writer. Here are some of her most popular quotes
Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed, citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.
Children must be taught how to think, not what to think.
There is no greater insight into the future than recognizing...when we save our children, we save ourselves.
Instead of being presented with stereotypes by age, sex, color, class, or religion, children must have the opportunity to learn that within each range, some people are loathsome and some are delightful.
We are continually faced with great opportunities which are brilliantly disguised as unsolvable problems.
Young people are moving away from feeling guilty about sleeping with somebody to feeling guilty if they are *not* sleeping with someone.
Never depend upon institutions or government to solve any problem. All social movements are founded by, guided by, motivated and seen through by the passion of individuals.
You know you love someone when you cannot put into words how they make you feel.
We won't have a society if we destroy the environment.
If the future is to remain open and free, we need people who can tolerate the unknown, who will not need the support of completely worked out systems or traditional blueprints from the past.
Never doubt that a small group of committed people can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.
I learned to observe the world around me, and to note what I saw.
I was brought up to believe that the only thing worth doing was to add to the sum of accurate information in the world.

Take care, dear reader, and have a nice day!
A Arthur Hello MWS, thank you for the video. Imagine a little girl singing I believe. Beautiful quotes to live by too. Mother Teresa was one who lived a selfless live in serving God, helping the poor and the destitute and guiding a small group of her sisters of the Missionaries of Charity.
As events for the present day unfolded we have to accept that things are not about to change overnight. It has to get worse before it gets better, what with the present crop of law-makers who fumble, stumble and make all the stupid and wrong decisions, or refuse to acknowledge the dilemma Malaysia is facing. So we just have to brace ourselves for the worse especially when you are in business and the economy and business environment are in tatters.
Anyway your beautiful quotes come in timely, thank you
