There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so
that other people won't feel insecure around you.
Marianne Williamson
You can have it all. You just
can't have it all at one time.
Oprah Winfrey
Be more concerned with your character
than with your reputation. Your character
is what you really are, while your reputation
is merely what others think you are.
John Wooden
Everyone should learn to do
one thing supremely well
because he likes it,
and one thing supremely well
because he detests it.
Brigham Young
I've learned over a period of years there
are setbacks when you come up against
the immovable object;
sometimes the object doesn't move.
Coleman Young
Forgiveness means that you
do not hold others responsible
for your experiences.
Gary Zukav
It is only imperfection that complains of what
is imperfect. The more perfect we are
the more gentle and quiet
we become towards the defects of others.
Joseph Addison
He who has no wish to be happier
is the happiest of men.
William R Alger
You lose a lot of time hating people.
Marian Anderson
If you have only one smile in you,
give it to the people you love.

in the street and start grinning
"Good morning" at total strangers.

never to be angry; teach
them how to be angry
Lyman Abbott

what must be endured is more
important than the thing that
must be endured.

have answered that progress may
be measured, but also by those
we are still asking.

achieve outstanding success because
they don't know when to quit. Most
men succeed because they are
determined to.
George Allen
Humor is a social lubricant
that helps us get over some
of the bad spots.
Steve Allen
Ride your emotions as the shallop
rides the waves; don't get upset among
them. There are people who enjoy
getting swamped emotionally, just
as, incredibly, there are people who
enjoy getting drunk.
Mary Austin
Promises are the uniquely human way
of ordering the future, making it
predictable and reliable to the extent
that this is humanly possible.
Hannah Arendt
The bond that links your true family
is not one of blood, but of respect
and joy in each other's life. Rarely
do members of one family grow
up under the same roof.
Richard Bach
A man that studieth revenge
keeps his own wounds green.
Francis Bacon
Character builds slowly,
but it can be torn down
with incredible swiftness.

one is young or old from birth.
Natalie Smith Barney
It is not work that kills men; it is worry.
Worry is rust upon the blade.
Henry Ward Beecher
The greater the feeling of inferiority
that has been experienced, the more
powerful is the urge to conquest and
the more violent the emotional agitation.
Alfred Adler
A doubtful friend is worse than a
certain enemy. Let a man be
one thing or the other, and we
then know how to meet him.
Aesop
