With my freckles and messy hair, bruised knee and chapped lips - this morning I am splendidly imperfect and alive!

Sabrina Ward Harrison

and yet do nothing about them?" God said, "I did do something. I made you".

Sufi Teaching

Have courage for the great sorrows of life, and patience for the small ones. When you have laboriously accomplished your daily tasks, go to sleep in peace. God is awake.

Victor Hugo

As human beings, our greatness lies not so much in being able to remake the world as in being able to remake ourselves.

Mahatma Gandhi

When you are in doubt, be still, and wait. When doubt no longer exists for you, then go forward with courage. So long as mists envelop you, be still. Be still until the sunlight pours through and dispels the mists as it surely will. Then act with courage.

White Eagle

A man who works with his hands is a laborer; a man who works with his hands and his brain is a craftsman; but a man who works with his hands and his brain and his heart is an artist.

Louis Nizer

Stop leaving and you will arrive.
Stop searching and you will see.
Stop running away and you will be found.


Lao Tzu

Peace is not something you wish for; It is something you make, something you do, something you are, and something you give away.

Robert Fulghum

One ship drives east and another drives west
With the selfsame winds that blow.
Tis the set of sails and not the gales
Which tells us the way to go.


Ella Wheeler Wilcox

If logic tells you that life is a meaningless accident,
do not give upon life. Give up on logic.


Shira Millgrom

And all people live, not by reason
of any care they have for themselves,
but by the love for them that is in other people.


Leo Tolstoy

Always know in your heart that you are far bigger
than anything that can happen to you.


Dan Zadra

The wise man in a storm prays to God,
not for safety from danger,
but for deliverance from fear.


Ralph Waldo Emerson

I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.

Henry David Thoreau

The guilty one is not he who commits the sin,
but the one who causes the darkness.


Victor Hugo

The purpose of life is to discover your gift.
The meaning of life is to give it away.


David Viscott

There is only one time
when it is essential to awaken.
That time is now.


Buddha

Dwell in possibility.


Emily Dickinson

If I have inside of me the stuff to make cocoons,
maybe the stuff of butterflies is there, too.


Trina Paulus

Let your soul stand cool and composed
before a million universes.


Walt Whitman

Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great.

Mark Twain

We must be willing to get rid of the life we have planned, so as to have the life that is waiting for us.

Joseph Campbell

Your vision will become clear only when you look into your heart. Who looks outside, dreams. Who looks inside, awakens.

Carl Jung

I am only one, but still I am one. I cannot do everything, but still I can do something; and because I cannot do everything, I will not refuse to do something I can do.

Edward Everett Hale
