You may believe that
you are responsible for what you do, but not for what you think. The truth
is that you are responsible for what you think, because it is only at this
level that you can exercise choice. What you do comes from what you think.
A Course in Miracles
The only real mistake
is the one from which we learn nothing.
John Powell
Love is patient, love
is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not
rude, it is not self-seeking. It is not easily angered, it keeps no record
of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices with the truth. It
always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never
fails.
I Corinthians 13:4-8
Never doubt that a
small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed,
it is the only thing that ever has.
Margaret Mead
The most common way
people give up their power is by thinking they don't have any.
Alice Walker
A man has made at
least a start on discovering the meaning of human life when he plants shade
trees under which he knows full well he will never sit.
D. Elton Trueblood
When the power of
love overcomes the love of power the world will know peace.
Jimi Hendrix
Tenderness and kindness
are not signs of weakness and despair, but manifestations of strength and
resolution.

How wonderful it is
that nobody need wait a single minute before starting to improve the world.
Anne Frank
I am only one; but
still I am one. I cannot do everything, but still I can do something. I will
not refuse to do the something I can
do.
Helen Keller
You cannot discover
new oceans unless you have the courage to lose sight of the shore.

The only science that gives purpose to every other science is the science
of religion--the science of our happy relationship with, and our providential
dependence on God and our neighbor.
Fr. Solanus Casey
No act of kindness,
however small, is ever wasted.
Aesop
It is tact that is golden - not silence
Samuel Butler
The shortest and surest way to live with
honor in the world is to be in reality what we appear to be.
Socrates
If I have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely acquire the capacity
to do it, even if I may not
have
it at the beginning.

Go confidently in the direction of your dreams.
Live the life you have imagined.
Henry David Thoreau
All men and women are born, live suffer and die; what distinguishes us one
from another is our dreams, whether they be dreams about worldly or unworldly
things, and what we do to make them come about... We do not choose to be
born. We do not choose our parents. We do not choose our historical epoch,
the country of our birth, or the immediate circumstances of our upbringing.
We do not, most of us, choose to die; nor do we choose the time and conditions
of our death. But within this realm of choicelessness, we do choose how we
live.
Joseph Epstein
The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched.
They must be felt with the heart.
Helen Keller
How old would you be
if you didn't know how old you are?
Satchel Paige
You must be the change
you wish to see in the world.
Mahatma Gandhi
There are only two ways
to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as
if everything is.

How far you go in life
depends on you being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged,
sympathetic with the striving and tolerant of the weak and the strong. Because
someday in life you will have been all of these.
George Washington Carver
And now here is my secret,
a very simple secret: It is only with the heart that one can see rightly;
what is essential is invisible to the eye.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Your work is to discover
your world and then with all your heart give yourself to it.
Buddha
I will greet this day
with love in my heart. And how will I do this? Henceforth will I look on
all things with love and be born again. I will love the sun for it warms
my bones; yet I will love the rain for it cleanses my spirit. I will love
the light for it shows me the way; yet I will love the darkness for it shows
me the stars. I will welcome happiness as it enlarges my heart; yet I will
endure sadness for it opens my soul. I will acknowledge rewards for they
are my due; yet I will welcome obstacles for they are my challenge.
Og Mandino
When you know who you
are; when your mission is clear and you burn with the inner fire of unbreakable
will; no cold can touch your heart; no deluge can dampen your purpose. You
know that you are alive.
Chief Seattle
To know what you prefer
instead of humbly saying Amen to what the world tells you you ought to prefer,
is to have kept your soul alive.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Thousands of candles
can be lighted from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not
be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared.
Buddha
In the rush of daily living it's easy to forget
all the remarkable people, real or fictional, who have been part of your
life. But if you just imagine they are near for a moment, you will realize
that anyone who ever touched your heart is always with you, patiently waiting
to emanate warmth and support whenever your remember to think of them.
Barbara Sher
I love you my brother whoever you are whether you worship in your church,
kneel in your temple, or pray in your mosque.You and I are all children of
one faith, for the diverse paths of religion are fingers of the loving hand
of one Supreme Being, a hand extended to all, offering completeness of spirit
to all, eager to receive all.
Kahlil Gibran
There is a wonderful
mythical law of nature that the three things we crave most in life - happiness,
freedom and peace of mind - are always attained by giving them to someone
else.
Peyton Conway March
When you come to the
edge of all the light you know and are about to step into the darkness of
the unknown. Faith is knowing that one of two things will happen. There will
be solid ground to stand on or you will be taught to fly.

We are not human beings
on a spiritual journey. We are spiritual beings on a human journey.
Stephen Covey
He has achieved success
who has lived well, laughed often, and loved much; who has enjoyed the trust
of pure women, the respect of intelligent men and the love of little children;
who has filled his niche and accomplished his task; who has left the world
better than he found it whether by an improved poppy, a perfect poem or a
rescued soul; who has never lacked appreciation of Earth's beauty or failed
to express it; who has always looked for the best in others and given them
the best he had; whose life was an inspiration; whose memory a benediction.
Bessie Anderson Stanley
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
Finish every day and
be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities
no doubt have crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new
day; begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be cumbered
with your old nonsense. This day is all that is good and fair. It is too
dear, with its hopes and invitations, to waste a moment on yesterdays.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
