― Herman Melville

“The heart that gives thanks is a happy one, for we cannot feel thankful and unhappy at the same time.

The more we say thanks, the more we find to be thankful for.

We are happy because we give thanks.”
― Douglas Wood, The Secret of Saying Thanks

“Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.”
― Oscar Wilde

“MY MOTHER USED TO SAY,

I know you're young,
gotta get it out,
but just remember, when
you're walking in the nighttime,
make sure the nighttime
ain't walking into you.”
― Jason Reynolds, Long Way Down
