Rules of life
Today we have higher buildings and wider highways, but shorter tempraments and a narrower point of view
We spend more, but enjoy less.
We have bigger houses, but smaller families.
We have more compromises, but less time.
We have more knowledge, but less judgemet.
We have more medicines, but less wealth.
We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values.
We talk much, we love only a little and we hate too much.
We reached the Moon and came back, 
but we find it troublesome to cross our own street and meet our neighbors.
We conquered the outer space, but not our inner space.
You do not keep anything for a special occasion,
because everyday that you live is a special occasion.
Search for knowledge, read more, sit on your front porch and admire the view without paying attention to the needs.
Pass more time with your family, eat your favorite food, visit the place you love.
Life is a chain of moments of enjoyment; it is not only survival.
These are days in which two salaries come home, but divorces increase.
These are times of finer houses, but more broken homes.
That’s why I propose that as from today; Use your crystal globlets.
Do not save your best perfume, and use it every time you feel you want it.
Take out from your vocabulary phrases like “One of these days” and “someday”.
Let’s write that letter we thought of writing “One of these days”.
Let us tell our families and friends how much we love them. 
pass up a chance at adding laughter and joy to your life.
Every day, hour and minute are special…
And you never know if it will be your last…
Before you judge someone, walk a mile in their shoes
that way when you do judge them you’ll be a mile away and you’ll have their shoes…
Nederlandstalige citaten over een boodschap
Mensen denken vaak dat het leven helemaal positief moet zijn met alles erop en eraan. Dat is ook de boodschap van het positieve denken. Maar het leven kent ook afgronden. En als je die onder ogen durft te zien, pas dan heb je echt alles in het leven en pas dan leef je echt.
Wilhelm Schmid
Duits filosoof 1953-
Theater is er voor het amusement. Als je een boodschap hebt, moet je naar het telegraafkantoor.
Woody Allen
Amerikaans filmregisseur en acteur 1935
