A ship in safe harbour is safe, but that is not what a ship was built for.William Shedd
Our lives are not determined by what happens to us but by how we react to what happens, not by what life brings to us, but by the attitude we bring to life. A positive attitude causes a chain reaction of positive thoughts, events, and outcomes. It is a catalyst, a spark that creates extraordinary results.Unknown
Look at a day when you are supremely satisfied at the end. It's not a day when you lounge around doing nothing' its when you had everything to do, and you've done it.Margaret Thatcher
Approach each new problem not with a view of finding what you hope will be there, but to get the truth, the realities that must be grappled with. You may not like what you find. In that case you are entitled to try to change it. But do not deceive yourself as to what you do find to be the facts of the situation.Bernard M Baruch
Too often our joy in the present is lost between regretting something in the past and fearing something in the future.Ernie Conrad
This is not a process you undertake later, when you 'know more'. You do it now, because you are becoming the person you will be and you are (right now) the person you are becoming. It is a path, not a goal or destination.Unknown
Imagination is stronger than knowledge.
Myth is more potent than history.
Dreams are more powerful than facts.
Hope always triumphs over experience.
Laughter is the only cure for grief.
Love is stronger than death.Robert Fulghum
The difference between a successful person and others is not the lack of strength, not the lack of knowledge, but rather, the lack of will.Vince Lombardi
Everything contains some element of the unexplored because we are accustomed to use our eyes only with the memory of what other people before us have thought about the object we are looking at. The least thing has a bit of unknown in it. Let us find this. In order to describe a fire burning or a tree in a field, let us stand in front of that fire and that tree until they no longer look to us like any other fire or any other tree.Guy DeMaupassant
Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.
Calvin Collidge
If one advances confidently in the direction of their dreams and endeavors to lead a life which they have imagined , they will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.Henry David Thoreau
If you're here for four more years or four more weeks, you're here right now. I think when you're somewhere, you ought to be there. It's not about how long you stay in a place, it's about what you do while you're there, and when you go, is that place any better for your having been there?Karen Hall and Jerry Stalh - Northern Exposure, Soapy Sanderson, 1990
