"The little money I have -- that is my wealth, but the things I have for which I would not take money, that is my treasure."
"Sometimes the difference between sweet success and the bitter taste of failure is being smart enough to peel the orange."
"There is a lesson in every failure -- for those who would remember the lesson and forget the failure."
"Learning is a lifetime process, but there comes a time when we must stop adding and start updating."
"In childhood, we yearn to be grown-ups. In old age, we yearn to be kids. It just seems that all would be wonderful if we didn't have to celebrate our birthdays in chronological order."
"Opportunity is a parade. Even as one chance passes, the next is a fife and drum echoing in the distance."
"Dare to turn life on its end, and you may find that topsy-turvy is a truer perspective than turvy-topsy."
"Success is never a shiny new coin. It is a much-circulated coin, many times ill-spent, seeking hands that will spend it to purpose. "

Wonderful thoughts for today, thank you.
Marlene, Thanks for stopping by today.

I especially like the first one.
The things that I value most in my life are the things that the world would dismiss as having little or no value. And what the world values, I possess in short supply!!
You are the treasure, my friend, and your thoughts you share with everyone are priceless.(smile)
I agree with Liz...the first one is my favorite. Perhaps, it's because it strikes me as being very truthful of your own inner perceptions of life.
'Til next time,
Mattie
Liz,
Setting your own values has got to be the most basic human right -- and pretty hard to abridge. Sometime we've got to get together, and I'll show you my collection of wine bottle corks. Hey, what does the world know about anything?
Mattie,
If I am a treasure, I am a lost treasure. But you're right, as usual -- the first one comes a little closer to revealing the real me than I usually venture. Got to be more careful.

"Somtimes the difference between the sweet success and the bitter taste of failure is being smart enought to peel the orange."
And sometimes being smart is to browse the archives of RobertBrault.com
It was hard to pick one but this one is my favourite and it's found in my favourite category as well.
I wish to publish a few on my blog, am I allowed to do so?
Thanks and best wishes.
