Kindness is a language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see.
MARK TWAIN
I think this quote means that kindness is something that all people can feel even if they don’t understand what kindness means. It is also the same with people with disability’s. People who are blind don’t have to see kindness to feel it. Deaf people don’t have to hear what you are saying to know that what you are saying is kind as long as you mean to say something that is not negative and would make them happy. Even though people may not understand it they can still feel that you are being kind, even if they can’t see or hear it. That’s what I think Mark Twain is trying to say. You don’t have to tell anyone you care, you just have to kind and they will feel it.

A leader is someone who demonstrates what’s possible.
MARK YARNELL
I think this quote means that a leader is somebody who demonstrates what should happen not someone who tell people what not to make happen. When you are a leader trying to tell people what the right thing is but are not demonstrating it why would they have a reason to do what you say. Even if you are telling somebody to do the right thing, then you have to demonstrate it, for your words to have any meaning. When people see that doing the right thing is possible than why wouldn’t people listen, unless they want to drive somebody crazy by doing the wrong thing. If the teacher gives you a piece of candy after you show that everybody that doing the right thing is possible, which is being a leader, then everybody will want to do it.

Practice is the best of all instructors.
PUBLIUS SYRUS
I think this quote means that when you practice you are teaching yourself and when you learn you only get better. That is why if you want to get good at something you don’t have to have a private tutor or a coach. When you just practice what you want to do, you will get good at it because you are teaching yourself. So when you want to be good at something don’t wait till the times right (Or when your mom can find a coach on Facebook). Just practice and learn by practicing and teaching yourself.

A good laugh heals a lot of hurts.
MADELEINE L’ENGLE
I think this quote means that sometimes when you can make sure some one knows you care, it can put a big drop in their bucket. When you laugh a good laugh for a while when you are trying to cheer someone up, sometimes its contagious. A good laugh is something that can brighten someone’s day in a mental way. Sometimes all of the laughter is like filtering out someone’s all of someone’s hurts and sorrow. I think this person is trying to say that laughter is like a medicine that can wash out and heal a lot of “oweys”. A good laugh is sometimes just what someone needs.

Whatever you want to do, do it now! There are only so many tomorrows.
MICHAEL LANDON JR.
I think this quote means that when you want to make a difference you have to do it quick, because your life doesn’t last forever. There are only a limited amount of days and nights of everybody’s life, that if you want to, you only have a limited amount of tomorrows to do this, and tomorrow I’ll do that. You only have a single life to do things, but don’t let that discourage you to not do it at all. You may be afraid you won’t finish your project, but that is only stopped by not starting to late. You don’t need to be a hero or an adult to make a difference in the world.

Endeavor to see the good in every situation.
UNKNOWN
I think this quote means that he wants us to adventure to different perspectives until we see the good in all things. He knows it is possible because he has probably has done it himself. There is good in every thing you look at if you can look at it hoping and believing that it will be good. adventuring to see something good is how you do that. that is what I think the quote means.

Live your life by a compass, not a clock.
STEPHEN R. COVEY
I think this means that when you live your life like a clock life is boring and your going in you told directions. When your a compass you do not do what you are told to do. You can lead other people and yourself. you have a goal and no matter where you go your arrow thing always points north. Let’s say north is to your goal. No matter what angel you are, or where you are you always point toward your goal. You don’t leave the trail. When you are a clock you are pointing in all different directions because you are being forced to be a normal person always following the same course. That is why you need to be a compass not a clock.

Courtesy is a small act but it packs a mighty wallop.
LEWIS CARROLL
I think this quote means that when you do a very little thing for someone that can make big impact on not just the person but you. When you do something just for another persons life just a hundredth of a percent they don’t feel better but you do to. When you do something courteous for someone you awaken something positive in your soul and your heart. It can change some of your later decisions to do the kind thing not the easy thing. Now that little piece of the day you made for another person is encouraging you to make more kind choices just because it feels good to be a good person.

Difficulties are meant to rouse, not discourage. The human spirit is to grow strong by conflict.
WILLIAM ELLERY CHANNING
I think this means that obstacles are not meant to make you think like “Hey look there is something in my way, I’m never going to get up that hill lets turn around and give up”. That is not what it means. I think it has to make you think “Hey there is something in my way, I need to find a over it around it or under it so I can get closer to my goal”. The second person who wanted to find a way around his or her obstacle has a strong spirit and won’t give up to achieve what they need to. The first person who gave up is the opposite. I think that this quote means that the weak don’t accomplish anything, but strong people are the ones who achieve things in life because they don’t give up.

Thousands of candles can be lit from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared.
BUDDHA
I think this means that when you give happiness to someone off of you own supply of it you are actually making happiness for yourself to. When you express happiness to someone else a lot of the time it means a lot to people. Sometimes just giving people a smile can make the day of many depressed people. It kind of shows that you care for them when their day goes sideways. You can give people happiness off of yours but you don’t run out.
