You have got to sing like you do not need the money. You have got to love like you will never get hurt. You have got to dance like there is nobody watching. You have got to come from the heart, if you want it to work.

Susanna Clark

You cannot cross the sea merely by standing and staring at the water. Do not let yourself indulge in vain wishes.

Rabindranath Tagore

Success or failure depends more upon attitude than upon capacity. Successful people act as though they have accomplished or are enjoying something. Soon it becomes a reality. Act, look, feel successful, conduct yourself accordingly, and you will be amazed at the positive results.

Dupree Jordan

I have learned from experience that the greater part of our happiness or misery depends on our dispositions and not on our circumstances.

Martha Washington

Creativity represents a miraculous coming together of the uninhibited energy of the child with its apparent opposite and enemy-the sense of order imposed on the disciplined adult intelligence.

Norman Podhoretz

Appreciation of life itself, becoming suddenly aware of the miracle of being alive, on this planet, can turn what we call ordinary life into a miracle. We come awake to such a realization when we recognize our connection to a spiritual dimension.

Dan Wakefield

The ideals which have always shown before me and filled me with the joy of living are goodness, beauty and truth.

Albert Einstein

Labor to keep alive in your breast that spark of celestial fire called conscience.

George Washington

I think the one lesson I have learned
is that there is no substitute for paying attention.


Diane Sawyer

Sometimes our light goes out but is blown into flame by another human being. Each of us owes our deepest thanks to those who have rekindled this light.

Albert Schweitzer

Think for yourself and let others
enjoy the privilege of doing so too.


Voltaire

If I could wish for my life to be perfect, it would be tempting, but I would have to decline, for life would no longer teach me anything.

Alyson Jones

People with goals succeed
because they know where they are going.


Earl Nightingale

Seek not outside you, heaven is within.


Mary Lou Cook

Persons thankful for the little things
are certain to be the ones with much to be thankful for.


Frank Clark

Let us hope that we are all preceded in this world by a love story.

Don Snyder

We are each of us angels with only one wing, and we can only fly by embracing one another.

Luciano de Crescenzo

When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has opened for us.

Helen Keller

Three grand essentials to happiness in this life are something to do, something to love, and something to hope for.

Joseph Addison

There are no guarantees. From the viewpoint of fear, none are strong enough. From the viewpoint of love, none are necessary.

Emmanuel

The best cure for worry, depression, melancholy, brooding, is to go deliberately forth and try to lift, with sympathy, the gloom of somebody else.

Arnold Bennett

Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people will not feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.

Marianne Williamson

If you are distressed by anything external, the pain is not due to the thing itself, but to your estimate of it; and this you have the power to revoke at any moment.

Marcus Aurelius

Some values are ... like sugar on the doughnut, legitimate, desirable, but insufficient, apart from the doughnut itself. We need substance as well as frosting.

Ralph T. Flewelling

Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure...than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in a gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat.

Theodore Roosevelt
