Feeling Happy
Hearing Quiet
Taking the Time & Nelson Mandela
TAKING TIME
Take time to think...It is the source of
power.
Take time to play...It is the secret of
perpetual youth.
Take time to read...It is the fountain of
wisdom.
Take time to pray...It is the greatest power
on Earth.
Take time to love and be loved...It is a God-
given privilege.
Take time to be friendly...It is the road to
happiness.
Take time to laugh...It is the music of the
soul.
Take time to give...It is too short a day to be
selfish.
Take time to work...It is the price of
success.
Take time to do charity...It is the key to
Heaven.

"Every time Nelson Mandela walks into a room we all feel a little bigger, we all want to stand up, we all want to cheer, because we'd like to be him on our Best Day."
Bill Clinton

"Our children and furure generations need to understand that Mandela is not just another person learned about in history books. They need to know that his actions, his perserverance and his courage changed the course of the entire nation. He boldly and quite literally, changed history. He is living proof that one person has the power to effect positive change in our world."
Muhammad Ali

"I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear."
