If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything.

I try to do this.  At times it is hard, but I find when I can adhere to this, I am much happier.

There's so many times you want to use this today isn't there? I sure think so, it's so true!

I heard this one today, and like it quite a lot:

This may not be a quote, but it is a saying that I once read, and I try to live by it.

"Your day is a success if you've made one person feel better about themselves".

I know at times I've been down and a simple compliment from someone will boost my spirits.  

I was at Walmart a few weeks ago and the young man working in the Deli said to me... thank you for being kind and having such a good attitude.  It's so nice to see a friendly smile.    He said we don't always see a lot of that around here.

I hope that somehow I made that young man feel that I appreciated his assistance.  

I always want to build someone up, not tear someone down.

@J Town Girl wow, did your post make my day and thank you so much for making that young man's day too, good on you!

A few years ago I stopped off at Chipolte to grab a Burrito Bowl and I kept saying please and thank you as you wind your way through the ingredient stations.  One young man literally stopped dead in his tracks and said "I think you are the first person that ever said please/thank you to me".  I had all I could do to not burst into tears it made me so sad as it really costs you nothing to be kind.

I just read one last week and I've thought about it a lot.  It said, Don't judge others just because they sin differently than you.

I really loved that one.  It was on a local church sign out front.
