If you don’t like the movie, I’ve got slides.

She’s in good shape. Just a little rusty.

Here you go. Enjoy.

In bad times and in good, I’ve never lost my sense of zest for life.

Now, all there is to do is reset broken moments. When even to exist seems a victory.

I love Black poets. I love that as a Black girl, I get to participate in that legacy. So that’s Yusef Komunyakaa, Sonia Sanchez, Tracy K. Smith, Phillis Wheatley.

Sisters are brittle things. God was penurious with me, which makes me shrewd with Him. One is a dainty sum! One bird, one cage, one flight; one song in those far woods, as yet suspected by faith only!

Morning without you is a dwindled dawn.

I’m sure… I have qualities you don’t, and you have qualities I don’t. We were born that way. I think that the weakness… And the kindness… That you have… Are very… PRECIOUS.

You cried in place of me. THANK YOU.

Look, let me put it this way: with me, you’re number one and there isn’t even a number two.

Enjoy life while you have it, for it does not last long.

Two kinds of gratitude: The sudden kind we feel for what we take; the larger kind we feel for what we give.

Sometimes we need to remind ourselves that thankfulness is indeed a virtue.

You have to embrace getting older. Life is precious, and when you’ve lost a lot of people, you realize that each day is a gift.

As you walk and eat and travel, be where you are. Otherwise you will miss most of your life.

In the Spring, I have counted 136 different kinds of weather inside of 24 hours.

When this ends, we’ll smile sweetly, finally seeing
In testing times, we became the best of beings.

This is a gift. A real gift. I know what you’re doing. I like your beard. You’re Blanta – black Santa.

When one has the feeling of dislike for evil, when one feels tranquil, one finds pleasure in listening to good teachings; when one has these feelings and appreciates them, one is free of fear.

I am blessed. I woke up. I have clothes to wear. I have running water. I have food to eat. Life is good. God is

If you’re awake, you are blessed. Life is a priceless gift; appreciate every minute of it.

The beautiful sunrise teaches us to gaze at nature and appreciate the little things of life! May you always count your blessings, enjoy the beauty

Every day comes with blessings, may the blessings of today never pass you by, may God bless every work of your hand today, good morning.

Good Morning My Love. Always count your blessings and thank God for all that you have.

I don’t know Prince’s music like the back of my hand, but I was always a fan of him as an artist – just the way he was a person who did not care about what people thought and did his own thing and I thought that was so cool.

I’m glad we had the times together just to laugh and sing a song, seems like we just got started and then before you know it, the times we had together were gone.

How did it get so late so soon? It’s night before it’s afternoon. December is here before it’s June. My goodness how the time has flewn. How did it get so late so soon?

Too often they don’t realize what they have until it’s gone.
…they’re too stubborn to say, ‘Sorry, I was wrong’
they hurt the ones closest to their hearts,
and we let the most foolish things tear us apart.

Just remember — Life is precious. Treat it that way!

Divorce is okay. Breaking up is okay. Starting over is okay. What is not okay is staying somewhere you’re not appreciated, that’s not okay.

Life should be cherished more than material things. Life is precious, and you should live each day to its fullest.

You were given life; it is your duty (and also your entitlement as a human being) to find something beautiful within life, no matter how

The one law that does not change is that everything changes, and the hardship I was bearing today was only a breath away from the

I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate

I have great respect for the past. If you don’t know where you’ve come from, you don’t know where you’re going. I have respect for the past, but I’m a person of the moment. I’m here, and I do my best to be completely centered at the place I’m at, then I go forward to the next place.

Shigure Sohma: Kyo, I heard you gave Tohru a little scare while you were prowling around last night. Kyo’s a stalker. Kyo’s a stalker.
Kyo Sohma: YOU ARE SO FULL OF IT! AND YOU – (Tohru) NEXT TIME YOU NEED SOMEONE TO WALK YOU HOME, DON’T LOOK AT ME!
Tohru Honda: That’s okay. Anyway, I’d much see you here at the table like this more often. I’m glad you’re eating. How do you like the food?
Kyo Sohma: Hmm? What do you want?!
Yuki Sohma: Nothing.
Kyo Sohma: YOU WERE STARING AT ME?!
Yuki Sohma: No, just looking.
Kyo Sohma: WELL, I GUESS THERE’S A FIRST TIME FOR EVERYTHING!
Tohru Honda: Do you like it?
Kyo Sohma: NO, I DON’T!!

A table, a chair, a bowl of fruit and a violin; what else does a man need to be happy?

We love the things we love for what they are.

There’s something about knowing life is finite that makes it so precious.

The park grass looked greener, the park benches looked better and the flowers were trying harder.

I’m only interested in poetry.

Curtis was just a chip off old Franky only she had much better legs. Poor Franky didn’t have any legs but he had a wonderful brain.

“Henry Chinaski”, the principal said over the microphone. And I walked forward. There was no applause. The one kindly soul in the audience gave two or three clasps.

Tej: What’s happenin’, dude?
Brian: Thanks for the invite.

People always talked about the good clean smell of fresh sweat. They had to make excuses for it. They never talked about the good clean smell of fresh shit. There was nothing really as glorious as a good beer shit – I mean after drinking twenty or twenty-five beers the night before. The odor of a beer shit like that spread all around and stayed for a good hour-and-a-half. It made you realize that you were really alive.

after you’ve pulled off the tablecloth with
the full plates of food
and broken the windows
and rung the bells of
idiots
and have
spoken true and terrible
words
and have
chased the mob through the
doorway –
then comes the great and
peaceful moment: sitting alone
and
pouring that quiet drink.

the world is better without
them.

only the plants and the animals are
true comrades.

I drink to them and with
them.

they wait as I fill their
glasses.

I really appreciated that the chancellor addressed all of those concerns. It’s nice to see that administrators can admit they made a mistake and they’re really working in the best interest of the university and the students.

We love to entertain kings and queens, but at Disneyland, everyone is a V.I.P.

I love the nostalgic myself. I hope we never lose some of the things of the past.

I only hope that we never lose sight of one thing — that it was all started by a mouse.

If you try singling me out to my mother, she’ll be down your throat. She has three sons, and she’s equally proud of us all.

They used to say, ‘Oh, he’s just his mother’s son,’ as a way of dismissing me. And every time I’d say, ‘Oh, yes, thank you! I’m so proud of that.’

My mother is so full of joy and life. I am her child. And that is better than being the child of anyone else in the world.

Ain’t a woman alive who could take my mama’s place.

Son, you remind me how so much depends on days made of now.

Sorry for being late. I got caught up enjoying my last few minutes of not being here.

I clapped because it’s finished, not because I like it.

Have you ever been given something as a gift and then just tossed it to the side? Don’t you think that would upset the person who gave it to you? Now imagine if the giver was God. You’re lucky enough to be here, so do something with that life, give back and most importantly, love yourself and others.

Life is a precious gift given by God. Each day is like a new day, a new gift that will never return. Make the most of it without thinking about the past or future. Appreciate the little things you have in your life.

Yuki Sohma: Thank you.
Machi Kuragi: …For what?
Yuki Sohma: Well, you’re taking good care of it! I’m glad.
Machi Kuragi: I…I’M NOT TAKING CARE OF IT!!
Yuki Sohma:

And you held onto that memory, treasured it all these years later. Thank you for that. You were lost and I saved you. I can’t

Don’t waste such kind words on me… Just hearing them, my heart is full!

It’s such a waste. It’s such a waste our parents… Go on living without realizing… That Yuki really is a good kid.

Thank you for always… Listening to me. Thank you for always accepting… My weakness.

You’ve made me so happy. I’m so happy because… There’s someone who will cry for me…

I’d appreciate it if you wouldn’t torment my friend.

I’m a boy who appreciates a good body, regardless of the make.

Shawn Boswell: What the?
Han: Police cars here are only factory tuned. If you can do better than 180K, they can’t catch you. So they don’t even try.
Shawn Boswell: You know what? I’m beginning to like this country already.

I…think that my performance today was a success because he played opposite me. Kyo-kun…Thank you.

Actually, I don’t care “how many” people would notice if I disappeared. If just “one person” noticed, that’s all I’d need. Having “one person” is an incredible thing. After all, it’s totally different than “zero.” I was happy then too. I was so happy, it was almost embarrassing. Out of all the people, she found me. Me alone. And now too, someone other than myself is thinking about me. She’s looking for me. That’s not something I’ll ever take for granted.

Life gets mighty precious when there’s less of it to waste.

Life is a gift. Wake up every day and realize that.

As miserable as life may be, I hold it pretty precious.

The most important thing in life will always be the people in this room. Right here, right now. Salute, mi familia.

The appreciation of pleasure can be the anchor of humanity.

Every day is a gift from God. There’s no guarantee of tomorrow, so that tells me to see the good in this day to make the most of it.

Brian: It’s nice to see you’ve gone with the times and switched to electronic fuel injection. Looks good.
Dom: Buster became a gearhead.

There are two ways to live: you can live as if nothing is a miracle; you can live as if everything is a miracle.

Truth is the most valuable thing we have. Let us economize it.

The most beautiful things are not perfect, they are special.

Because when you stop and look around, this life is pretty amazing.

Sometimes you will never know the value of something, until it becomes a memory.

You can only do things one day at a time, sport. Sometimes life is so bloody that’s the only way you can get through it. But the good bit about living one day at a time is that when nice things happen, you enjoy them more than people who are always thinking about the past or the future.

I have been treated better than I should have been — not by life in general nor by the machinery of things but by women.

Beauty is nothing, beauty won’t stay. You don’t know how lucky you are to be ugly, because if people like you, you know it’s for something else.

You know there’s a lot of you I’ve loved and it hasn’t been entirely your money.

The best of you
I like more than you think.
the others don’t count
except that they have fingers and heads
and some of them eyes and most of them legs and all of them
good and bad dreams
and a way to go.

As I lived my life…had I overlooked many very, very precious things?

You are so beautiful to me.

That it will never come again is what makes life sweet.

To live is so startling it leaves little time for anything else.

Life is a precious gift. Use your days wisely.

Be grateful for every second of every day that you get to spend with people you love. Life is so very precious.

I think I’m very conscientious of how precious life is and how quickly life can be taken away from you, especially at times when it can be least expected.

I am just so very grateful this very second. Just to be able to see, just to be able to breathe, to be able to walk, to hear, to love, to live. Enjoy; every second is a precious gift!

Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened.

The struggles we endure today will be the ‘good old days’ we laugh about tomorrow.

Every month brings pleasure bright If the heart is only right.

Maybe it’s time for the fighter to be fought for, for the holder to be held, and for the lover to be loved.

This may have been a useless time for you… but I really wanted to see you!

Thank you, Nil-san… Never do this again.

I won’t get to hear you say, “Welcome home,” to me anymore, will I, Honda-san? But…but I’m happy for you too. The “me” who’s arrived at this point is happy for you. I…I was always…so weak. I wasn’t good at making connections with other people, but I wanted to be loved. I wanted to be needed. I yearned for those things…and then, one day, you came into my life. You made those dreams come true. You granted my wishes without asking for anything in return. You gave me so much. And it’s because of that that I can stand in front of you here today. You helped me become a full-fledged “human being.” You helped me grow as a person. You…were like a mother to me. I was finally able to tell you that. I know my true feelings are a little on the embarrassing side…but, you know, it’s the same for them too, I think. Your presence is so warm and kind…so even though we’re all going our separate ways now, starting new lives in new places, every so often, we’ll still think of you. “Is she doing well? She’s not crying, is she? Is she smiling even now? Is she happy today too?” That’s how we’ll always think of you. Thank you…I’m so glad I met you. I’m so glad you were here… Thank you, thank you, thank you… Tohru.

Let’s start with what we can be thankful for, and get our mind into that vibration, and then watch the good that starts to come, because one thought leads to another thought.

Those God-squadders. They come over here, spouting all that shit, they expect the whole world to start working like their fucking neighbor. Well it doesn’t! So they send in the devil… to do God’s work. It’s ironic, isn’t it? Am I boring you, mate? Is it the trip? Has it got you nervous? ‘Cause really, you should appreciate the action, you know what I mean? Got to be better than looking at the ass end of a snake! Oh dear, you really are an uptight bastard, aren’t you? You can drop the thousand-yard stare. I’ve seen it all before, and I’m not impressed.

Be thankful for everything you have in your life.

The lifting up of the woman does not require the tearing down of the man. In fact, a strong woman appreciates a strong man. Conversely, a strong man is not intimidated by a strong woman.

People appreciate a confident man. They love a strong man, and when it comes to a woman, I don’t know if people just expect women not to speak up for themselves or be weak or just always be the follow-behind, but I’m proud that I’m in a generation of leaders. I’m proud that I’m surrounded by very strong women.

You know what they say; you don’t know what you have till that nigga gone.

I was just such an erratic, wild personality….When you finally find someone to listen to you after years of not being taken seriously, you hold that sh*t to your heart.

Joy is what happens when we allow ourselves to recognize how good things are. Joy is what happens when we see that God’s plan is perfect and we’re already staring in a perfect show.

Think of aging as a new beginning and making the most of what you’ve got and what you didn’t have time to enjoy before!

Even in the worst of situations – even when it seems no one in the world appreciates you – as long as you have hope, everything can get better.

Truck drivers work very hard for living, and this is a fact that deserves some appreciation.

I believed that my faith has gotten stronger through all of the hardships that I endured. Being able to come out on the other side, it makes you have a greater belief and appreciation for God. It also makes you have a greater belief and appreciation in your own capabilities.

Some situations in life are just for you to learn and have appreciation in learning.

Without true pain, one could never know true happiness.

Without an understanding of bad…how can one truly have an appreciation of good.

There is more credit and satisfaction in being a first-rate truck driver than a tenth-rate executive.

Youth is something I never wanna take for granted. I just want to smile and live life.

A lighthouse is kind of like an angel. Most of the people the light helps take it for granted. Until it’s not there.

A little insomnia is not without its value in making us appreciate sleep, in throwing a ray of light upon that darkness.

You never know how much you truly appreciate sleep until it’s snatched away from you.

Be grateful for who you are and whatever you have. Everything you have is a gift from God.

We often take for granted the simple fact that we can get out of bed in the morning.

As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.

Make it a habit to tell people thank you. To express your appreciation, sincerely and without the expectation of anything in return. Truly appreciate those around you, and you’ll soon find many others around you. Truly appreciate life, and you’ll find that you have more of it.

Thankful Thursday: I am most thankful for all that God is & all that He proves to be in my life.

Look around and do not miss the beauty that God gives us daily.

Gratitude transforms what we have into enough by allowing us to appreciate what we have.

As you begin and finish your day, take a moment to be grateful for everything you have. You’ll start to appreciate how fortunate you are.

Be grateful for the things and people you have in your life. Things you take for granted someone else is praying for.

People pray for the things they take for granted. Be grateful for what you have.

Every day, I’m thankful and appreciative.

Shoutout to the low-key people. People who don’t have to be the center of attention all of the time. People who stay in their lane and mind their own business. People whose circle is smaller than a Cheerio and they wouldn’t have it any other way. I see you and you’re appreciated.

Sometimes I just want to sit and gaze at God’s beautiful creation.

I think God appreciates that we appreciate his creation.

The trees, the flowers, the plants grow in silence. The stars, the sun, the moon move in silence. Silence gives us a new perspective.
