Hi suzyque,
It sounds to me that you may be making a photo album or a slide show
presentation for a lucky someone?s birthday, or retirement! I?ve
collected some quotes, along with links for you to peruse. Not all the
quotes or statements have a source. If the material I have provided is
not precisely what you were seeking, please request an Answer
Clarification, and I will be happy to assist you further.
This is one of my personal favorites:
You are only young once, but you can stay immature indefinitely.? ? Ogden Nash
======================================
?We need to distinguish between nostalgia and the reassuring memory of
happy times, which serves to link the present to the past and to
provide a sense of continuity. The emotional appeal of happy memories
does not depend on disparagement of the present, the hallmark of the
nostalgic attitude. Nostalgia appeals to the feeling that the past
offered delights no longer obtainable. Nostalgic representations of
the past evoke a time irretrievably lost and for that reason timeless
and unchanging. Strictly speaking, nostalgia does not entail the
exercise of memory at all, since the past it idealizes stands outside
time, frozen in unchanging perfection. Memory too may idealize the
past, but not in order to condemn the present. It draws hope and
comfort from the past in order to enrich the present and to face what
comes with good cheer.? ---Christopher Lasch (b. 1932), U.S.
historian.

Memories are hunting horns, Whose sound dies on the wind --Guillaume
Apollinaire (1880?1918), Italian-born French poet, critic
Our memories are card indexes consulted and then returned in disorder
by authorities whom we do not control. --Cyril Connolly (1903?1974),
British critic.
It is the simple things of life that make living worthwhile, the sweet
fundamental things such as love and duty, work and rest, and living
close to nature.
As you get older, you gain knowledge, tolerance and serenity...then

Gray hair is a glorious crown won by a righteous life.
There are three ingredients in the good life: learning, earning, and yearning

Somebody once asked Niels Bohr why he had a horseshoe hanging above
the front door of his house.

hanging a horseshoe above your door brings you luck?".
"Of course not," Bohr replied, "but I have been reliably informed that
it will bring me luck whether I believe in it or not."
Neils Bohr
Our days are a kaleidoscope. Every instant a change takes place in the
contents. New harmonies, new contrasts, new combinations of every
sort. Nothing ever happens twice alike. The most familiar people stand
each moment in some new relation to each other, to their work, to
surrounding objects. The most tranquil house, with the most serene
inhabitants, living upon the utmost regularity of system, is yet
exemplifying infinite diversities.
Henry Ward Beecher
Books are not made for furniture, but there is nothing else that so
beautifully furnishes a house.
Henry Ward Beecher

essential to success.

Ambrose Bierce
We all have big changes in our lives that are more or less a second chance.
Harrison Ford (
The future is not a result of choices among alternative paths offered
by the present, but a place that is created--created first in the mind
and will, created next in activity. The future is not some place we
are going to, but one we are creating. The paths are not to be found,
but made, and the activity of making them, changes both the maker and
the destination.
John Schaar, futurist
Without accepting the fact that everything changes, we cannot find
perfect composure. But unfortunately, although it is true, it is
difficult for us to accept it. Because we cannot accept the truth of
transience, we suffer.
Shunryu Suzuki
Nothing changes more constantly than the past; for the past that
influences our lives does not consist of what happened, but of what
men believe happened.
Gerald W. Johnston
All changes, even the most longed for, have their melancholy; for what
we leave behind us is a part of ourselves; we must die to one life
before we can enter another.
Anatole France
From the end spring new beginnings.
Pliny the Elder
Four things come not back -- the spoken word, the sped arrow, the past
life, and the neglected opportunity.

Somebody once asked Niels Bohr why he had a horseshoe hanging above
the front door of his house.

hanging a horseshoe above your door brings you luck?".

it will bring me luck whether I believe in it or not."

Our days are a kaleidoscope. Every instant a change takes place in the
contents. New harmonies, new contrasts, new combinations of every
sort. Nothing ever happens twice alike. The most familiar people stand
each moment in some new relation to each other, to their work, to
surrounding objects. The most tranquil house, with the most serene
inhabitants, living upon the utmost regularity of system, is yet
exemplifying infinite diversities.
Henry Ward Beecher
Books are not made for furniture, but there is nothing else that so

The future is not a result of choices among alternative paths offered
by the present, but a place that is created--created first in the mind
and will, created next in activity. The future is not some place we
are going to, but one we are creating. The paths are not to be found,
but made, and the activity of making them, changes both the maker and
the destination.
John Schaar, futurist
Without accepting the fact that everything changes, we cannot find
perfect composure. But unfortunately, although it is true, it is
difficult for us to accept it. Because we cannot accept the truth of
transience, we suffer.

Nothing changes more constantly than the past; for the past that
influences our lives does not consist of what happened, but of what
men believe happened.
Gerald W. Johnston
All changes, even the most longed for, have their melancholy; for what
we leave behind us is a part of ourselves; we must die to one life
before we can enter another.
Anatole France
From the end spring new beginnings.
Pliny the Elder
Four things come not back -- the spoken word, the sped arrow, the past
life, and the neglected opportunity.
