"Never regret yesterday. Life is in you today, and you make your tomorrow." - L. Ron Hubbard

"Happiness and strength endure only in the absence of hate. To hate alone is the road to disaster. To love is the road to strength. To love in spite of all is the secret of greatness. And may very well be the greatest secret in this universe." - L. Ron Hubbard

"To be happy, one only must be able to confront, which is to say, experience, those things that are. Unhappiness is only this: the inability to confront that which is." - L. Ron Hubbard

"Ideas and not battles mark the forward progress of mankind." - L. Ron Hubbard

"On the day when we can fully trust each other, there will be peace on Earth." - L. Ron Hubbard

"A culture is only as great as its dreams, and its dreams are dreamed by artists." - L. Ron Hubbard

THE JOY OF CREATING

Force yourself to smile and you’ll soon stop frowning.
Force yourself to laugh and you’ll soon find
something to laugh about.
Wax enthusiastic and you’ll very soon feel so.
A being causes his own feelings.
The greatest joy there is in life is creating.
Splurge on it!
