Nothing of great value in life comes easily.
Norman Vincent Peale
Prize not all life that has passed without love;
Love is the Water of Life:
Receive it in thy heart and soul.
Rumi
Normal is not something to aspire to,
it is something to get away from.
Jodie Foster
Uncertainty and expectations are the joys of life.
William Congreve
The
best years of your life are the ones in which you decide your problems
are your own. You do not blame them on your mother, the ecology or the
president. You realize that you control your own destiny.
Albert Ellis
Oliver Wendell Holmes
The best way to know life is to love many things.
Vincent Van Gogh
You are not supposed to be so blind with patriotism that you cannot face reality. Wrong is wrong, no matter who says it.
Malcolm X
When we seek to discover the best in others,
we somehow bring out the best in ourselves.
William Arthur Ward
To
live lightheartedly but not recklessly; to be gay without being
boisterous; to be courageous without being bold; to show trust and
cheerful resignation without fatalism, this is the art of living.
Jean De La Fontaine
The greatest power is often simple patience.
E. Joseph Cossman
When
I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and
love has always won. There have been tyrants and murderers and for a
time they seem invincible but in the end, they always fall - Think of
it, always.
Mahatma Gandhi
If people are good only because they fear punishment, and hope for reward, then we are a sorry lot indeed.
Albert Einstein
Rest
is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass under the trees on a
summers day, listening to the murmur of water, or watching the clouds
float across the sky, is by no means a waste of time.
Sir J. Lubbock
Love is the most universal, the most tremendous,
and the most mysterious of the cosmic forces.
Teilhard de Chardin
The universe is full of magical things,
patiently waiting for our wits to grow sharper.
Eden Phillpotts
Our
awesome responsibility to ourselves, to our children, and to the future
is to create ourselves in the image of goodness, because the future
depends on the nobility of our imaginings.
Barbara Grizzuti Harrison
Iron
rusts from disuse, stagnant water loses its purity and in cold weather
becomes frozen; even so does inaction sap the vigors of the mind.
George Allen
There is a time for departure even
when there is no certain place to go.
Tennessee Williams
Each
person has inside a basic decency and goodness. If he listens to it and
acts on it, he is giving a great deal of what it is the world needs
most. It is not complicated but it takes courage to listen to his own
goodness.
Pablo Casals
Goodness is the only investment which never fails.
Henry David Thoreau
Most people search high and wide for the keys to success. If they only knew, the key to their dreams lies within.
George Washington Carver
If
two friends ask you to judge a dispute, do not accept, because you will
lose one friend; on the other hand, if two strangers come with the same
request, accept because you will gain one friend.
Saint Augustine
One
must be out-of-doors enough to get experience of wholesome reality, as
a ballast to thought and sentiment. Health requires this relaxation,
this aimless life.
Henry David Thoreau
You
do not have to be a fantastic hero to do certain things, to compete.
You can be just an ordinary chap, sufficiently motivated to reach
challenging goals.
Sir Edmund Hillary
