Quotes by Laura Teresa Marquez

We cannot avoid responsibility -- each of us must say, "If children fail, it is MY finger those adoring eyes followed."

Like putting together the ingredients of a cake -- if you put together love, courage and tenderness, you will get a great life -- every time.

More than any amount of money, the greatest wealth is the practice of being exactly who you are.

Without a watch, God knows when it is time to Struggle -- Without a watch, God knows when it is time to Hope --
Without a watch, God knows when it is time to Laugh.

Life will always stop expecting unreasonable results from us when we stop expecting unreasonable results from Life.

Everything is either good or is in the process of becoming good -- everything.

I love Life today more than I loved Life yesterday, yet not as much as tomorrow.  (Paraphrased from a song)

May we each have daily, ever-increasing awareness to see the daily, ever-increasing beauty in our lives.

Without gratitude, we have no wings. The highest and last freedom is to feel ever-increasing gratitude.

My life is -- as if each person I know was born with a beautiful book with golden edges on each page -- and each of us can read the language of our own book -- containing our own unique values, ideas, insights and direction, yet we cannot read the language of anyone else's book, and they cannot read our book.  And, then, you and I started talking and I discovered that while the words in your book are different from mine, the language of your book is exactly the same as mine -- and words flow and flow between us without effort.  Then, I looked closer in my book and I saw beautiful, happy pictures of you and your family...and I smiled.
