Tranquility

When we are unable to find tranquility within ourselves, it is useless to seek it elsewhere.


- Francois de La Rochefoucauld

Difficulties

Difficulties are meant to rouse, not discourage. The human spirit is to grow strong by conflict.


-William Ellery Channing

Reason

Like a morning dream, life becomes more and more bright the longer we live, and the reason of everything appears more clear.


- Jean Paul Richter

Follow Your Heart

Follow your heart like a flying stallion
Race with the sun to the edge of night
Form your truth like a gold medallion
Dance in the circle of the love and the light.

- Denver, Henry, Sommers, Weisberg

All Good Things

Fear less, hope more;
Whine less, breathe more;
Talk less, say more;
Hate less, love more;

And all good things are yours.

Father

He didn't tell me how to live; he lived, and let me watch him do it.

- Clarence Budington Kelland

Beauty

You can take no credit for beauty at sixteen. But if you are beautiful at sixty, it will be your soul's own doing.

- Marie Stopes

Web of Life

The earth does not belong to man; man belongs to the earth. This we know. All things are connected, like the blood which unites one family. All things are connected.

Whatever befalls the earth befalls the sons of the earth. Man did not weave the web of life; he is merely a strand in it. Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself.

- Chief Seattle, (US) Divamish Indians

Possibilities

Our aspirations are our possibilities.

- Robert Browning

Purpose of Life

The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.

- Ralph Waldo Emerson

You'll never achieve your dreams if they don't become goals.

Life is about ...

Life isn’t about finding yourself. Life’s about creating yourself.

-George Bernard Shaw

Love

What love we've given, we'll have forever. What love we fail to give, will be lost for all eternity.

- Leo Buscaglia

Doing

In this life, we cannot all do great things; we can only do small things with great love.


- Mother Teresa

Challenge

When we least expect it, life sets us a challenge to test our courage and willingness to change; at such a moment, there is no point in pretending that nothing has happened or in saying that we are not ready. The challenge will not wait. Life does not look back. A week is more than enough time for us to decide whether or not to accept our destiny.

- Paulo Coelho

Journey

I haven't a clue as to how my story will end. But that's all right. When you set out on a journey and night covers the road, you don't conclude the road has vanished. And how else could we discover the stars?

- Unknown

Your Mission

When you discover your mission, you will feel its demand. It will fill you with enthusiasm and a burning desire to get to work on it.

- W. Clement Stone

Don't Wait

Don't wait. The time will never be just right.


- Napoleon Hill

Hero

That's what it takes to be a hero, a little gem of innocence inside you that makes you want to believe that there still exists a right and wrong, that decency will somehow triumph in the end.

- Lise Hand

And I Be

I still hear you humming, Mama. The color of your song calls me home. The color of your words saying, "Let her be. She got a right to be different. She gonna stumble on herself one of these days. Just let the child be." And I be, Mama.


- Sonia Sanchez
