"And so long as I can laugh,..." - Quote by Og Mandino

“I will persist until I succeed!”

“I will smile at friend and foe alike and make every effort to find, in him or her, a quality to praise, now that I realize the deepest yearning of human nature is the craving to be appreciated.”

“Your only limitations are those you set up in your mind, or permit others to set up for you.”

“A joke, even if it be a lame one, is nowhere so keenly relished or quickly applauded as in a murder trial.”

“If I say a joke and the audience laughs it makes me feel good.”

“Every day I awaken I am grateful. My intent is to be totally present in that day. And laugh as much as possible.”

“Think of all the beauty still left around you and be happy.”

“Happy the man who from the sea escapes the storm and finds harbor.”

“I would rather not have upset him, but I couldn't see any reason to change my life. Looking back on it, I wasn't unhappy. When I was a student, I had lots of ambitions like that. But when I had to give up my studies I learned very quickly that none of it really mattered.”
