Words to Live by

The happiest people don't have the best of everything, they just make the best of everything... So please remember: Live simply. Love generously. Care Deeply. Speak Kindly. Leave the Rest to God.

And remember - the richest person is not the one who has the most, but the one who needs the least.

My cousin sent me this today and I wanted to share these words of wisdom with my Gather family.  What are your thoughts?

Thank you so much for sharing the quote. It seems like most people think its how much you have and what you have. It cant buy you happiness and you cant take it with you.I wish life would just slow down and common sense was worth more than a name brand.

Just coming by this time to thank you for your comment. You must come to the cafe and let me buy you a cup of coffee or cold drink.
It sounds like a great way to live.

That is exactly what I am trying to teach my kids. It's not what you have, but having what you need.

Thank you for coming by and reading Fate and Destiny!
What a lovely, and true, thought!

The dead are dead alike....He who dies with the most toys is still dead.

"The dead are dead alike save for their memories and legacies..."
Curt L. Sep 26, 2008, 5:27pm EDT
