It is only to be understood. +Successful people ask better questions, and as a result, they get better answers. +Love is not blind; it simply enables one to see things others fail to see. +Life is a process. We are a process. The universe is a process. +I think somehow we learn who we really are and then live with that decision. +We learn what we have said from those who listen to our speaking. +A little knowledge that acts is worth infinitely more than much knowledge that is idle. +If you get up one more time than you fall, you will make it through. +The beginning of knowledge is the discovery of something we do not understand. +The doors we open and close each day decide the lives we live. +The worst bankrupt in the world is the person who has lost his enthusiasm. +Happiness comes when your work and words are of benefit to yourself and others. +Each misfortune you encounter will carry in it the seed of tomorrows good luck. +Don't focus on making the right decision, focus on making the decision the right one. +Everything is perfect in the universe — even your desire to improve it. +Begin at once to live and count each separate day as a separate life. +The universe is full of magical things, patiently waiting for our wits to grow sharper. +Just as a candle cannot burn without fire, men cannot live without a spiritual life. +A thing long expected takes the form of the unexpected when at last it comes. +To forgive is to set a prisoner free and realize that prisoner was you. +Action may not always bring happiness; but there is no happiness without action. +I don't believe in failure. It is not failure if you enjoyed the process. +What you do not want done to yourself, do not do to others. +Short words are best and the old words when short are best of all. +If you light a lamp for somebody, it will also brighten your path. +I have done my best: that is about all the philosophy of living one needs. +Through perseverance many people win success out of what seemed destined to be certain failure. +Give thanks for the rain of life that propels us to reach new horizons. +Love is just a word until someone comes along and gives it meaning. +We all have problems. The way we solve them is what makes us different. +The secret to a rich life is to have more beginnings than endings. +It is only when the mind and character slumber that the dress can be seen. +If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude. +Nothing in life is to be feared. It is only to be understood. +Reviewing what you have learned and learning anew, you are fit to be a teacher. +The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page. +Action may not always bring happiness; but there is no happiness without action. +So long as a person is capable of self-renewal they are a living being. +I'm not afraid of storms, for Im learning how to sail my ship. +Think for yourselves and let others enjoy the privilege to do so too. +How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives. +It has never been my object to record my dreams, just to realize them. +The most complicated achievements of thought are possible without the assistance of consciousness. +Be miserable. Or motivate yourself. Whatever has to be done, it's always your choice. +Most great people have attained their greatest success just one step beyond their greatest failure. +The doors we open and close each day decide the lives we live. +If you think you can, you can. And if you think you can't, you're right. +Better to have loved and lost, than to have never loved at all. +Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself. +Whenever you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth. +The best way to pay for a lovely moment is to enjoy it. +You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life. +Slow down and everything you are chasing will come around and catch you. +Your worst enemy cannot harm you as much as your own unguarded thoughts. +I always wanted to be somebody, but I should have been more specific. +Yeah we all shine on, like the moon, and the stars, and the sun. +Knowledge is a process of piling up facts; wisdom lies in their simplification. +Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance you must keep moving. +We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit. +In separateness lies the world's great misery, in compassion lies the world's true strength. +Reviewing what you have learned and learning anew, you are fit to be a teacher. +To get something you never had, you have to do something you never did. +What you do not want done to yourself, do not do to others. +Opportunity is missed by most because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. +Feeling and longing are the motive forces behind all human endeavor and human creations. +In the end we retain from our studies only that which we practically apply. +It is only when the mind and character slumber that the dress can be seen. +If you correct your mind, the rest of your life will fall into place. +The world makes way for the man who knows where he is going. +When your desires are strong enough you will appear to possess superhuman powers to achieve. +Patience and perseverance have a magical effect before which difficulties disappear and obstacles vanish. +I cannot make my days longer so I strive to make them better. +Think for yourselves and let others enjoy the privilege to do so too. +Tension is who you think you should be. Relaxation is who you are. +Never bend your head. Always hold it high. Look the world right in the eye. +One who gains strength by overcoming obstacles possesses the only strength which can overcome adversity. +We cannot do everything at once, but we can do something at once. +You have to do your own growing no matter how tall your grandfather was. +Invent your world. Surround yourself with people, color, sounds, and work that nourish you. +It is fatal to enter any war without the will to win it. +Be what you are. This is the first step toward becoming better than you are. +There is nothing in a caterpillar that tells you it's going to be a butterfly. +Whenever you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth. +Love and compassion open our own inner life, reducing stress, distrust and loneliness. +Ideals are an imaginative understanding of that which is desirable in that which is possible. +The superior man is satisfied and composed; the mean man is always full of distress. +If you spend too much time thinking about a thing, you'll never get it done. +The way is not in the sky. The way is in the heart. +I don't believe in failure. It is not failure if you enjoyed the process. +Most people are about as happy as they make up their minds to be +Three things cannot be long hidden: the sun, the moon, and the truth. +More often than not, anger is actually an indication of weakness rather than of strength. +Before you put on a frown, make absolutely sure there are no smiles available. +A man of ability and the desire to accomplish something can do anything. +You, yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection. +It is not uncommon for people to spend their whole life waiting to start living. +We learn what we have said from those who listen to our speaking. +It is only when the mind and character slumber that the dress can be seen. +The way is not in the sky. The way is in the heart. +Don't be afraid to go out on a limb. That's where the fruit is. +Wicked people are always surprised to find ability in those that are good. +Life is so constructed that an event does not, cannot, will not, match the expectation. +Ideals are an imaginative understanding of that which is desirable in that which is possible. +If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change. +No man can succeed in a line of endeavor which he does not like. +Think for yourselves and let others enjoy the privilege to do so too. +You will not be punished for your anger, you will be punished by your anger. +The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams. +I believe that we are fundamentally the same and have the same basic potential. +Each misfortune you encounter will carry in it the seed of tomorrows good luck. +Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap but by the seeds you plant. +They say that time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself. +Never apologize for showing feelings. When you do so, you apologize for the truth. +The truth you believe and cling to makes you unavailable to hear anything new. +Adversity has the effect of eliciting talents, which in prosperous circumstances would have lain dormant. +The winds and waves are always on the side of the ablest navigators. +If you light a lamp for somebody, it will also brighten your path. +If you spend your whole life waiting for the storm, you'll never enjoy the sunshine. +The only limit to our realization of tomorrow will be our doubts of today. +Every action of our lives touches on some chord that will vibrate in eternity. +Letting go isn’t the end of the world; it’s the beginning of a new life. +Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars. +Just as a candle cannot burn without fire, men cannot live without a spiritual life. +Adversity has the effect of eliciting talents, which in prosperous circumstances would have lain dormant. +I'm not afraid of storms, for Im learning how to sail my ship. +It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop. +Every day may not be good, but there's something good in every day. +The truth you believe and cling to makes you unavailable to hear anything new. +To forgive is to set a prisoner free and realize that prisoner was you. +Most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be. +If you would take, you must first give, this is the beginning of intelligence. +Some people think it's holding that makes one strong — sometimes it's letting go. +The universe is full of magical things, patiently waiting for our wits to grow sharper. +It is on our failures that we base a new and different and better success. +If you spend too much time thinking about a thing, you'll never get it done. +Quality is never an accident; it is always the result of intelligent effort. +To study and not think is a waste. To think and not study is dangerous. +Life is a succession of lessons, which must be lived to be understood. +Being right is highly overrated. Even a stopped clock is right twice a day. +Love is just a word until someone comes along and gives it meaning. +I have done my best: that is about all the philosophy of living one needs. +Time changes everything except something within us which is always surprised by change. +You are important enough to ask and you are blessed enough to receive back. +Our greatest glory is not in never failing but rising everytime we fall. +Knowledge is a process of piling up facts; wisdom lies in their simplification. +It is fatal to enter any war without the will to win it. +If you spend too much time thinking about a thing, you'll never get it done. +To get something you never had, you have to do something you never did. +If you cannot do great things, do small things in a great way. +Everything is perfect in the universe — even your desire to improve it. +If you want your life to be more rewarding, you have to change the way you think. +Transformation doesn't take place with a vacuum; instead, it occurs when we are indirectly and directly connected to all those around us. +The only difference between your abilities and others is the ability to put yourself in their shoes and actually try. +The free man is he who does not fear to go to the end of his thought. +Great are they who see that spiritual is stronger than any material force, that thoughts rule the world. +A life spent making mistakes is not only more honourable but more useful than a life spent in doing nothing. +The wise man does not lay up his own treasures. The more he gives to others, the more he has for his own. +Don't leave a stone unturned. It's always something, to know you have done the most you could. +By going beyond your own problems and taking care of others, you gain inner strength, self-confidence, courage, and a greater sense of calm. +We come to love not by finding a perfect person, but by learning to see an imperfect person perfectly. +What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us. +There are things so deep and complex that only intuition can reach it in our stage of development as human beings. +A little more persistence, a little more effort, and what seemed hopeless failure may turn to glorious success. +There are things so deep and complex that only intuition can reach it in our stage of development as human beings. +There is no retirement for an artist, it's your way of living so there is no end to it. +I will not be concerned at other men is not knowing me;I will be concerned at my own want of ability. +Why worry about things you can’t control when you can keep yourself busy controlling the things that depend on you? +When you are content to be simply yourself and don't compare or compete, everybody will respect you. +Be not afraid of greatness: some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them. +Success means having the courage, the determination, and the will to become the person you believe you were meant to be. +Do you want to know who you are? Don't ask. Act! Action will delineate and define you. +It is only with the heart that one can see rightly, what is essential is invisible to the eye. +Let us be grateful to people who make us happy; they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom. +Make the best use of what is in your power, and take the rest as it happens. +The thoughts we choose to think are the tools we use to paint the canvas of our lives. +No matter how carefully you plan your goals they will never be more that pipe dreams unless you pursue them with gusto. +The reason most goals are not achieved is that we spend our time doing second things first. +If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader. +I'm a great believer in luck and I find the harder I work, the more I have of it. +Do not waste yourself in rejection, nor bark against the bad, but chant the beauty of the good. +The person born with a talent they are meant to use will find their greatest happiness in using it. +Good people are good because they've come to wisdom through failure. We get very little wisdom from success, you know. +Your destiny isn't just fate; it is how you use your own developed abilities to get what you want. +Iron rusts from disuse; water loses its purity from stagnation... even so does inaction sap the vigour of the mind. +A subtle thought that is in error may yet give rise to fruitful inquiry that can establish truths of great value. +Be glad of life because it gives you the chance to love, to work, to play, and to look up at the stars. +The person born with a talent they are meant to use will find their greatest happiness in using it. +You got to be careful if you don't know where you're going, because you might not get there. +You can tell whether a man is clever by his answers. You can tell whether a man is wise by his questions. +Life is a gift, and it offers us the privilege, opportunity, and responsibility to give something back by becoming more +You can't let praise or criticism get to you. It's a weakness to get caught up in either one. +I will love the light for it shows me the way, yet I will endure the darkness because it shows me the stars. +Our doubts are traitors and make us lose the good we often might win, by fearing to attempt. +By nature man hates change; seldom will he quit his old home till it has actually fallen around his ears. +Until you value yourself, you won't value your time. Until you value your time, you won't do anything with it. +The minute you settle for less than you deserve, you get even less than you settled for. +The highest stage in moral ure at which we can arrive is when we recognize that we ought to control our thoughts. +It is better to take many small steps in the right direction than to make a great leap forward only to stumble backward. +If we have a positive mental attitude, then even when surrounded by hostility, we shall not lack inner peace. +There is only one success — to be able to spend your life in your own way. +Promises are the uniquely human way of ordering the future, making it predictable and reliable to the extent that this is humanly possible. +Appreciation is the highest form of prayer, for it acknowledges the presence of good wherever you shine the light of your thankful thoughts. +Iron rusts from disuse; water loses its purity from stagnation... even so does inaction sap the vigour of the mind. +There is only one corner of the universe you can be certain of improving, and that's your own self. +You're not obligated to win. You're obligated to keep trying to do the best you can every day. +Everyone can taste success when the going is easy, but few know how to taste victory when times get tough. +Deep listening is miraculous for both listener and speaker.When someone receives us with open-hearted, non-judging, intensely interested listening, our spirits expand. +You may be deceived if you trust too much, but you will live in torment if you don't trust enough. +Great indeed is the sublimity of the Creative, to which all beings owe their beginning and which permeates all heaven. +All that is necessary is to accept the impossible, do without the indispensable, and bear the intolerable. +Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life. +You cannot find yourself by going into the past. You can find yourself by coming into the present. +All our talents increase in the using, and the every faculty, both good and bad, strengthen by exercise. +In order to live free and happily you must sacrifice boredom. It is not always an easy sacrifice. +The fox has many tricks. The hedgehog has but one. But that is the best of all. +Of course there is no formula for success except perhaps an unconditional acceptance of life and what it brings. +Let me tell you the secret that has led me to my goal: my strength lies solely in my tenacity +Something opens our wings. Something makes boredom and hurt disappear. Someone fills the cup in front of us: We taste only sacredness. +We must never forget that it is through our actions, words, and thoughts that we have a choice. +We see things not as they are, but as we are. Our perception is shaped by our previous experiences. +True silence is the rest of the mind; it is to the spirit what sleep is to the body, nourishment and refreshment. +There is no retirement for an artist, it's your way of living so there is no end to it. +All our knowledge begins with the senses, proceeds then to the understanding, and ends with reason. There is nothing higher than reason. +The thought manifests as the word. The word manifests as the deed. The deed develops into habit. And the habit hardens into character. +As the rest of the world is walking out the door, your best friends are the ones walking in. +Patience is a virtue but you will never ever accomplish anything if you don't exercise action over patience. +Any of us can achieve virtue, if by virtue we merely mean the avoidance of the vices that do not attract us. +If the single man plant himself indomitably on his instincts, and there abide, the huge world will come round to him. +True silence is the rest of the mind; it is to the spirit what sleep is to the body, nourishment and refreshment. +Money was never a big motivation for me, except as a way to keep score. The real excitement is playing the game. +The person born with a talent they are meant to use will find their greatest happiness in using it. +We come to love not by finding a perfect person, but by learning to see an imperfect person perfectly. +Friendship with oneself is all important because without it one cannot be friends with anybody else in the world. +Peace is not something you wish for. It's something you make, something you do, something you are, and something you give away. +A wise man can learn more from a foolish question than a fool can learn from a wise answer. +The highest stage in moral ure at which we can arrive is when we recognize that we ought to control our thoughts. +Every man takes the limits of his own field of vision for the limits of the world. +One does not discover new lands without consenting to lose sight of the shore for a very long time. +What is new in the world? Nothing. What is old in the world? Nothing. Everything has always been and will always be. +Genuine love should first be directed at oneself – if we do not love ourselves, how can we love others? +Life is like a sewer. What you get out of it depends on what you put into it. +Notice that the stiffest tree is most easily cracked, while the bamboo or willow survives by bending with the wind. +Learn all you can from the mistakes of others. You won't have time to make them all yourself. +There is only one corner of the universe you can be certain of improving, and that's your own self. +Judge nothing, you will be happy. Forgive everything, you will be happier. Love everything, you will be happiest. +People are so constituted that everybody would rather undertake what they see others do, whether they have an aptitude for it or not. +We are either progressing or retrograding all the while. There is no such thing as remaining stationary in this life. +You can't let praise or criticism get to you. It's a weakness to get caught up in either one. +The possession of knowledge does not kill the sense of wonder and mystery. There is always more mystery. +Everything that happens happens as it should, and if you observe carefully, you will find this to be so. +What we think determines what happens to us, so if we want to change our lives, we need to stretch our minds. +Promises are the uniquely human way of ordering the future, making it predictable and reliable to the extent that this is humanly possible. +Learn all you can from the mistakes of others. You won't have time to make them all yourself. +The fox has many tricks. The hedgehog has but one. But that is the best of all. +In a controversy the instant we feel anger we have already ceased striving for the truth, and have begun striving for ourselves. +It is the greatest of all mistakes to do nothing because you can only do little — do what you can. +When you see a man of worth, think of how you may emulate him. When you see one who is unworthy, examine yourself. +Aerodynamically the bumblebee shouldn't be able to fly, but the bumblebee doesn't know that so it goes on flying anyway. +Those who try to do something and fail are infinitely better than those who try nothing and succeed. +Snowflakes are one of natures most fragile things, but just look what they can do when they stick together. +The first step to getting the things you want out of life is this: decide what you want. +Why compare yourself with others? No one in the entire world can do a better job of being you than you. +Experience is not what happens to a man. It is what a man does with what happens to him. +A good teacher is like a candle — it consumes itself to light the way for others. +The only thing to do with good advice is to pass it on. It is never of any use to oneself. +Life is not measured by the breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath. +The smallest flower is a thought, a life answering to some feature of the Great Whole, of whom they have a persistent intuition. +Consider how hard it is to change yourself and you'll understand what little chance you have in trying to change others. +If you'll not settle for anything less than your best, you will be amazed at what you can accomplish in your lives. +What lies behind us and what lies before us are small matters compared to what lies within us. +With the realization of ones own potential and self-confidence in ones ability, one can build a better world. +There is nothing like returning to a place that remains unchanged to find the ways in which you yourself have altered. +Friendship with oneself is all important because without it one cannot be friends with anybody else in the world. +Forget about all the reasons why something may not work. You only need to find one good reason why it will. +It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it. +Love is never lost. If not reciprocated, it will flow back and soften and purify the heart. +We all live with the objective of being happy; our lives are all different and yet the same. +Let me tell you the secret that has led me to my goal: my strength lies solely in my tenacity +Many people think of prosperity that concerns money only to forget that true prosperity is of the mind. +To be beautiful means to be yourself. You don’t need to be accepted by others. You need to accept yourself. +Do not overrate what you have received, nor envy others. He who envies others does not obtain peace of mind. +It is very easy to forgive others their mistakes; it takes more grit to forgive them for having witnessed your own. +Bodily exercise, when compulsory, does no harm to the body; but knowledge which is acquired under compulsion obtains no hold on the mind. +Always be yourself, express yourself, have faith in yourself, do not go out and look for a successful personality and duplicate it. +Let us revere, let us worship, but erect and open-eyed, the highest, not the lowest; the future, not the past! +Every time you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing. +Silences make the real conversations between friends. Not the saying but the never needing to say is what counts. +The key to transforming our hearts and minds is to have an understanding of how our thoughts and emotions work. +If you must tell me your opinions, tell me what you believe in. I have plenty of douts of my own. +True silence is the rest of the mind; it is to the spirit what sleep is to the body, nourishment and refreshment. +Chance is always powerful. Let your hook be always cast; in the pool where you least expect it, there will be a fish. +You're not obligated to win. You're obligated to keep trying to do the best you can every day. +I seek constantly to improve my manners and graces, for they are the sugar to which all are attracted. +We never understand how little we need in this world until we know the loss of it. +It is better to take many small steps in the right direction than to make a great leap forward only to stumble backward. +The real measure of your wealth is how much youd be worth if you lost all your money. +To keep the body in good health is a duty... otherwise we shall not be able to keep our mind strong and clear. +Life is like a sewer. What you get out of it depends on what you put into it. +Take no thought of who is right or wrong or who is better than. Be not for or against. +I am a man of fixed and unbending principles, the first of which is to be flexible at all times. +Something opens our wings. Something makes boredom and hurt disappear. Someone fills the cup in front of us: We taste only sacredness. +Today, give a stranger a smile without waiting for it may be the joy they need to have a great day. +The moment one gives close attention to anything, even a blade of grass, it becomes a mysterious, awesome, indescribably magnificent world in itself. +Good people are good because they've come to wisdom through failure. We get very little wisdom from success, you know. +At the center of your being you have the answer; you know who you are and you know what you want. +How wonderful that we have met with a paradox. Now we have some hope of making progress. +Great indeed is the sublimity of the Creative, to which all beings owe their beginning and which permeates all heaven. +Everyone is a genius at least once a year. A real genius has his original ideas closer together. +Dreams pass into the reality of action. From the actions stems the dream again; and this interdependence produces the highest form of living. +Without leaps of imagination, or dreaming, we lose the excitement of possibilities. Dreaming, after all, is a form of planning. +Sadness may be part of life but there is no need to let it dominate your entire life. +Keeping a little ahead of conditions is one of the secrets of business, the trailer seldom goes far. +Nature gave us one tongue and two ears so we could hear twice as much as we speak. +Don't wait for your feelings to change to take the action. Take the action and your feelings will change. +You are always free to change your mind and choose a different future, or a different past. +You were not born a winner, and you were not born a loser. You are what you make yourself be. +Cherish your visions and your dreams as they are the children of your soul, the blueprints of your ultimate achievements. +You got to be careful if you don't know where you're going, because you might not get there. +Cherish your visions and your dreams as they are the children of your soul; the blueprints of your ultimate achievements. +To be what we are, and to become what we are capable of becoming, is the only end of life. +The road leading to a goal does not separate you from the destination; it is essentially a part of it. +Take things as they are. Punch when you have to punch. Kick when you have to kick. +I believe that a simple and unassuming manner of life is best for everyone, best both for the body and the mind. +Though no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending. +Mind is everything: muscle, pieces of rubber. All that I am, I am because of my mind. +The real measure of your wealth is how much youd be worth if you lost all your money. +How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world. +A friend is someone who understands your past, believes in your future, and accepts you just the way you are. +By nature man hates change; seldom will he quit his old home till it has actually fallen around his ears. +The first step to getting the things you want out of life is this: decide what you want. +Be glad of life because it gives you the chance to love, to work, to play, and to look up at the stars. +It is one of the blessings of old friends that you can afford to be stupid with them. +He that never changes his opinions, never corrects his mistakes, and will never be wiser on the morrow than he is today. +Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe. +One must be fond of people and trust them if one is not to make a mess of life. +There are things so deep and complex that only intuition can reach it in our stage of development as human beings. +We cannot change our memories, but we can change their meaning and the power they have over us. +Being in humaneness is good. If we select other goodness and thus are far apart from humaneness, how can we be the wise? +To give hope to someone occurs when you teach them how to use the tools to do it for themselves. +The road leading to a goal does not separate you from the destination; it is essentially a part of it. +Id rather regret the things that I have done than the things that I have not done. +The past has no power to stop you from being present now. Only your grievance about the past can do that. +If the stars should appear but one night every thousand years how man would marvel and adore. +There are two kinds of failures: those who thought and never did, and those who did and never thought. +I'm not interested in age. People who tell me their age are silly. You're as old as you feel. +Promises are the uniquely human way of ordering the future, making it predictable and reliable to the extent that this is humanly possible. +I find hope in the darkest of days, and focus in the brightest. I do not judge the universe. +Notice that the stiffest tree is most easily cracked, while the bamboo or willow survives by bending with the wind. +When it is obvious that the goals cannot be reached, don't adjust the goals, adjust the action steps. +Our virtues and our failings are inseparable, like force and matter. When they separate, man is no more. +Blessed is the person who is too busy to worry in the daytime, and too sleepy to worry at night. +The only difference between your abilities and others is the ability to put yourself in their shoes and actually try. +He can who thinks he can, and he can't who thinks he can't. This is an inexorable, indisputable law. +These days people seek knowledge, not wisdom. Knowledge is of the past, wisdom is of the future. +One secret of success in life is for a man to be ready for his opportunity when it comes. +People take different roads seeking fulfilment and happiness. Just because theyre not on your road doesn't mean they've gotten lost. +The shoe that fits one person pinches another; there is no recipe for living that suits all cases. +There are only two mistakes one can make along the road to truth; not going all the way, and not starting. +Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself, in your way of thinking. +Giving up doesn't always mean you are weak. Sometimes it means that you are strong enough to let go. +There are two kinds of failures: those who thought and never did, and those who did and never thought. +A life spent making mistakes is not only more honourable but more useful than a life spent in doing nothing. +There is only one success — to be able to spend your life in your own way. +Patience is a virtue but you will never ever accomplish anything if you don't exercise action over patience. +There is nothing like returning to a place that remains unchanged to find the ways in which you yourself have altered. +By nature man hates change; seldom will he quit his old home till it has actually fallen around his ears. +Treat people as if they were what they ought to be and you help them to become what they are capable of being. +The most precious gift we can offer anyone is our attention. When mindfulness embraces those we love, they will bloom like flowers. +If you focus on results, you will never change. If you focus on change, you will get results. +I would maintain that thanks are the highest form of thought, and that gratitude is happiness doubled by wonder. +No matter how carefully you plan your goals they will never be more that pipe dreams unless you pursue them with gusto. +By going beyond your own problems and taking care of others, you gain inner strength, self-confidence, courage, and a greater sense of calm. +There are two primary choices in life: to accept conditions as they exist, or accept the responsibility for changing them. +If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader. +Experience is not what happens to a man. It is what a man does with what happens to him. +All difficult things have their origin in that which is easy, and great things in that which is small. +When it is obvious that the goals cannot be reached, don't adjust the goals, adjust the action steps. +You can be what you want to be. You have the power within and we will help you always. +To speak gratitude is courteous and pleasant, to enact gratitude is generous and noble, but to live gratitude is to touch Heaven. +Without leaps of imagination, or dreaming, we lose the excitement of possibilities. Dreaming, after all, is a form of planning. +What we think determines what happens to us, so if we want to change our lives, we need to stretch our minds. +Wisdom is the reward you get for a lifetime of listening when you'd have preferred to talk. +Do not waste yourself in rejection, nor bark against the bad, but chant the beauty of the good. +The greatest pleasure I know is to do a good action by stealth, and to have it found out by accident. +How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world. +The first step to getting the things you want out of life is this: decide what you want. +When one tugs at a single thing in nature, he finds it attached to the rest of the world. +If you must tell me your opinions, tell me what you believe in. I have plenty of douts of my own. +Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen. +Consider how hard it is to change yourself and you'll understand what little chance you have in trying to change others. +The most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart. +I am a man of fixed and unbending principles, the first of which is to be flexible at all times. +To live a pure unselfish life, one must count nothing as ones own in the midst of abundance. +Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up. +Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself, in your way of thinking. +When we seek to discover the best in others, we somehow bring out the best in ourselves. +If you accept the expectations of others, especially negative ones, then you never will change the outcome. +The first step to getting the things you want out of life is this: decide what you want. +A man may fulfil the object of his existence by asking a question he cannot answer, and attempting a task he cannot achieve. +You are always free to change your mind and choose a different future, or a different past. +I am not bothered by the fact that I am unknown. I am bothered when I do not know others. +Id rather regret the things that I have done than the things that I have not done. +He is a wise man who does not grieve for the things which he has not, but rejoices for those which he has. +The person born with a talent they are meant to use will find their greatest happiness in using it. +I am always doing that which I cannot do, in order that I may learn how to do it. +If you're walking down the right path and you're willing to keep walking, eventually you'll make progress. +The world is round and the place which may seem like the end may also be the beginning. +Never miss an opportunity to make others happy, even if you have to leave them alone in order to do it. +Give it all you've got because you never know if there's going to be a next time. +These days people seek knowledge, not wisdom. Knowledge is of the past, wisdom is of the future. +You have to take it as it happens, but you should try to make it happen the way you want to take it. +Nothing is predestined: The obstacles of your past can become the gateways that lead to new beginnings. +Im not in this world to live up to your expectations and you're not in this world to live up to mine. +I am not bothered by the fact that I am unknown. I am bothered when I do not know others. +Don't wait for your feelings to change to take the action. Take the action and your feelings will change. +People take different roads seeking fulfilment and happiness. Just because theyre not on your road doesn't mean they've gotten lost. +Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy. +The smallest flower is a thought, a life answering to some feature of the Great Whole, of whom they have a persistent intuition. +I am always doing that which I cannot do, in order that I may learn how to do it. +I can't imagine a person becoming a success who doesn't give this game of life everything hes got. +The greatest way to live with honor in this world is to be what we pretend to be. +The conditions of conquest are always easy. We have but to toil awhile, endure awhile, believe always, and never turn back. +Success means having the courage, the determination, and the will to become the person you believe you were meant to be. +If you want your life to be more rewarding, you have to change the way you think. +The grand essentials of happiness are: something to do, something to love, and something to hope for. +By living deeply in the present moment we can understand the past better and we can prepare for a better future. +Do not be too timid and squeamish about your reactions. All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better. +Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail. +To keep the body in good health is a duty... otherwise we shall not be able to keep our mind strong and clear. +Don't leave a stone unturned. It's always something, to know you have done the most you could. +There is no duty we so underrate as the duty of being happy. By being happy we sow anonymous benefits upon the world. +Edison failed 10,000 times before he made the electric light. Do not be discouraged if you fail a few times. +There are two kinds of failures: those who thought and never did, and those who did and never thought. +Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. And today? Today is a gift that's why they call it the present. +The only way to tell the truth is to speak with kindness. Only the words of a loving man can be heard. +The road leading to a goal does not separate you from the destination; it is essentially a part of it. +Great are they who see that spiritual is stronger than any material force, that thoughts rule the world. +The greatest good you can do for another is not just to share your riches but to reveal to him his own. +Money was never a big motivation for me, except as a way to keep score. The real excitement is playing the game. +You can only grow if you're willing to feel awkward and uncomfortable when you try something new. +To free us from the expectations of others, to give us back to ourselves — there lies the great, singular power of self-respect. +Cherish your visions and your dreams as they are the children of your soul, the blueprints of your ultimate achievements. +It is more important to know where you are going than to get there quickly. Do not mistake activity for achievement. +Being in humaneness is good. If we select other goodness and thus are far apart from humaneness, how can we be the wise? +When you don't know what you believe, everything becomes an argument. Everything is debatable. But when you stand for something, decisions are obvious. +Why worry about things you can’t control when you can keep yourself busy controlling the things that depend on you? +There are things so deep and complex that only intuition can reach it in our stage of development as human beings. +The greatest pleasure I know is to do a good action by stealth, and to have it found out by accident. +Intuition is the supra-logic that cuts out all the routine processes of thought and leaps straight from the problem to the answer. +All difficult things have their origin in that which is easy, and great things in that which is small. +The thing always happens that you really believe in; and the belief in a thing makes it happen. +A true friend is the most precious of all possessions and the one we take the least thought about acquiring. +There is only one way to happiness and that is to cease worrying about things which are beyond the power of our will. +The only thing to do with good advice is to pass it on. It is never of any use to oneself. +Appreciation can make a day, even change a life. Your willingness to put it into words is all that is necessary. +One secret of success in life is for a man to be ready for his opportunity when it comes. +One must be fond of people and trust them if one is not to make a mess of life. +There are two primary choices in life: to accept conditions as they exist, or accept the responsibility for changing them. +Every sixty seconds you spend angry, upset or mad, is a full minute of happiness you’ll never get back. +A little more persistence, a little more effort, and what seemed hopeless failure may turn to glorious success. +There is only one way to happiness and that is to cease worrying about things which are beyond the power of our will. +This world, after all our science and sciences, is still a miracle; wonderful, inscrutable, magical and more, to whosoever will think of it. +Every great mistake has a halfway moment, a split second when it can be recalled and perhaps remedied. +You can adopt the attitude there is nothing you can do, or you can see the challenge as your call to action. +The happiness of a man in this life does not consist in the absence but in the mastery of his passions. +Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed people can change the world. Indeed. It is the only thing that ever has. +Let your hook always be cast; in the pool where you least expect it, there will be a fish. +The person born with a talent they are meant to use will find their greatest happiness in using it. +You get peace of mind not by thinking about it or imagining it, but by quietening and relaxing the restless mind. +There is only one way to happiness and that is to cease worrying about things which are beyond the power of our will. +If we have a positive mental attitude, then even when surrounded by hostility, we shall not lack inner peace. +Your friends will know you better in the first minute you meet than your acquaintances will know you in a thousand years. +It is the greatest of all mistakes to do nothing because you can only do little — do what you can. +When you are content to be simply yourself and don't compare or compete, everybody will respect you. +When you begin to touch your heart or let your heart be touched, you begin to discover that it's bottomless. +The thing always happens that you really believe in; and the belief in a thing makes it happen. +If you love someone, set them free. If they come back they're yours; if they don't they never were. +The road leading to a goal does not separate you from the destination; it is essentially a part of it. +Wisdom is knowing what to do next; Skill is knowing how ot do it, and Virtue is doing it. +Make the best use of what is in your power, and take the rest as it happens. +Snowflakes are one of natures most fragile things, but just look what they can do when they stick together. +Something opens our wings. Something makes boredom and hurt disappear. Someone fills the cup in front of us: We taste only sacredness. +Why worry about things you can’t control when you can keep yourself busy controlling the things that depend on you? +When one tugs at a single thing in nature, he finds it attached to the rest of the world. +I'm a great believer in luck and I find the harder I work, the more I have of it. +Bad things are not the worst things that can happen to us. Nothing is the worst thing that can happen to us! +Wisdom is knowing what to do next; Skill is knowing how ot do it, and Virtue is doing it. +You can only grow if you're willing to feel awkward and uncomfortable when you try something new. +No valid plans for the future can be made by those who have no capacity for living now. +The aim of life is self-development. To realize ones nature perfectly — that is what each of us is here for. +Great indeed is the sublimity of the Creative, to which all beings owe their beginning and which permeates all heaven. +One does not discover new lands without consenting to lose sight of the shore for a very long time. +To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe. +The first requisite for success is the ability to apply your physical and mental energies to one problem incessantly without growing weary. +If we could learn to like ourselves, even a little, maybe our cruelties and angers might melt away. +We are either progressing or retrograding all the while. There is no such thing as remaining stationary in this life. +If we are facing in the right direction, all we have to do is keep on walking. +The minute you settle for less than you deserve, you get even less than you settled for. +Remember always that you not only have the right to be an individual, you have an obligation to be one. +There is only one success — to be able to spend your life in your own way. +It is better to take many small steps in the right direction than to make a great leap forward only to stumble backward. +There are two primary choices in life: to accept conditions as they exist, or accept responsibility for changing them. +If you must tell me your opinions, tell me what you believe in. I have plenty of douts of my own. +If you seek truth you will not seek victory by dishonourable means, and if you find truth you will become invincible. +Through meditation and by giving full attention to one thing at a time, we can learn to direct attention where we choose. +Though no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending. +If we are facing in the right direction, all we have to do is keep on walking. +We could never learn to be brave and patient if there were only joy in the world. +What is new in the world? Nothing. What is old in the world? Nothing. Everything has always been and will always be. +If it is not right do not do it; if it is not true do not say it. +You cannot find yourself by going into the past. You can find yourself by coming into the present. +The truth of the matter is that you always know the right thing to do. The hard part is doing it. +Let us revere, let us worship, but erect and open-eyed, the highest, not the lowest; the future, not the past! +Some people thrive on huge, dramatic change. Some people prefer the slow and steady route. Do what's right for you. +Man is equally incapable of seeing the nothingness from which he emerges and the infinity in which he is engulfed. +Arrogance and rudeness are training wheels on the bicycle of life — for weak people who cannot keep their balance without them. +Nothing is predestined: The obstacles of your past can become the gateways that lead to new beginnings. +If you are patient in one moment of anger, you will escape one hundred days of sorrow. +To speak gratitude is courteous and pleasant, to enact gratitude is generous and noble, but to live gratitude is to touch Heaven. +When you have got an elephant by the hind legs and he is trying to run away, it's best to let him run. +Courage is not about taking risks unknowingly but putting your own being in front of challenges that others may not be able to. +The truth of the matter is that you always know the right thing to do. The hard part is doing it. +Can miles truly separate you from friends... If you want to be with someone you love, aren't you already there? +Arrogance and rudeness are training wheels on the bicycle of life — for weak people who cannot keep their balance without them. +One must be fond of people and trust them if one is not to make a mess of life. +The poor man is not he who is without a cent, but he who is without a dream. +A subtle thought that is in error may yet give rise to fruitful inquiry that can establish truths of great value. +The greatest good you can do for another is not just share your riches, but reveal to them their own. +Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment. +If you're walking down the right path and you're willing to keep walking, eventually you'll make progress. +Money was never a big motivation for me, except as a way to keep score. The real excitement is playing the game. +Peace of mind is not the absence of conflict from life, but the ability to cope with it. +I am a man of fixed and unbending principles, the first of which is to be flexible at all times. +When it is obvious that the goals cannot be reached, don't adjust the goals, adjust the action steps. +Transformation doesn't take place with a vacuum; instead, it occurs when we are indirectly and directly connected to all those around us. +Face your deficiencies and acknowledge them; but do not let them master you. Let them teach you patience, sweetness, insight. +To give hope to someone occurs when you teach them how to use the tools to do it for themselves. +There is no duty we so underrate as the duty of being happy. By being happy we sow anonymous benefits upon the world. +Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future. +You have power over your mind — not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength. +Silences make the real conversations between friends. Not the saying but the never needing to say is what counts. +Something opens our wings. Something makes boredom and hurt disappear. Someone fills the cup in front of us: We taste only sacredness. +A good teacher is like a candle — it consumes itself to light the way for others. +There are two primary choices in life: to accept conditions as they exist, or accept responsibility for changing them. +The greatest good you can do for another is not just to share your riches but to reveal to him his own. +To be beautiful means to be yourself. You don’t need to be accepted by others. You need to accept yourself. +Intuition is the supra-logic that cuts out all the routine processes of thought and leaps straight from the problem to the answer. +Let me tell you the secret that has led me to my goal: my strength lies solely in my tenacity. +One secret of success in life is for a man to be ready for his opportunity when it comes. +We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts, we make the world. +He that respects himself is safe from others; he wears a coat of mail that none can pierce. +Bodily exercise, when compulsory, does no harm to the body; but knowledge which is acquired under compulsion obtains no hold on the mind. +I cannot always control what goes on outside. But I can always control what goes on inside. +The smallest flower is a thought, a life answering to some feature of the Great Whole, of whom they have a persistent intuition. +Appreciation can make a day, even change a life. Your willingness to put it into words is all that is necessary. +What matters is the value we've created in our lives, the people we've made happy and how much we've grown as people. +We cannot change our memories, but we can change their meaning and the power they have over us. +When you are offended at any man's fault, turn to yourself and study your own failings. Then you will forget your anger. +Everyone has been made for some particular work, and the desire for that work has been put in every heart. +To free us from the expectations of others, to give us back to ourselves — there lies the great, singular power of self-respect. +At the center of your being you have the answer; you know who you are and you know what you want. +Life is a gift, and it offers us the privilege, opportunity, and responsibility to give something back by becoming more +There is no retirement for an artist, it's your way of living so there is no end to it. +Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail. +Take time to deliberate, but when the time for action has arrived, stop thinking and go in. +Though no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending. +When one tugs at a single thing in nature, he finds it attached to the rest of the world. +The happiness of a man in this life does not consist in the absence but in the mastery of his passions. +When you have got an elephant by the hind legs and he is trying to run away, it's best to let him run. +With realization of ones own potential and self-confidence in ones ability, one can build a better world. +Do you want to know who you are? Don't ask. Act! Action will delineate and define you. +The greatest good you can do for another is not just to share your riches but to reveal to him his own. +The only difference between your abilities and others is the ability to put yourself in their shoes and actually try. +To free us from the expectations of others, to give us back to ourselves — there lies the great, singular power of self-respect. +You can only grow if you're willing to feel awkward and uncomfortable when you try something new. +The only thing to do with good advice is to pass it on. It is never of any use to oneself. +If you love someone, set them free. If they come back they're yours; if they don't they never were. +Happiness is not in the mere possession of money; it lies in the joy of achievement, in the thrill of creative effort. +A life spent making mistakes is not only more honourable but more useful than a life spent in doing nothing. +Sadness may be part of life but there is no need to let it dominate your entire life. +You cannot make yourself feel something you do not feel, but you can make yourself do right in spite of your feelings. +Those who are blessed with the most talent don't necessarily outperform everyone else. It's the people with follow-through who excel. +Try not to become a man of success, but rather try to become a man of value. +All difficult things have their origin in that which is easy, and great things in that which is small. +Men of perverse opinion do not know the excellence of what is in their hands, till some one dash it from them. +We never understand how little we need in this world until we know the loss of it. +If you must tell me your opinions, tell me what you believe in. I have plenty of douts of my own. +It is not enough to have a good mind; the main thing is to use it well. +Aerodynamically the bumblebee shouldn't be able to fly, but the bumblebee doesn't know that so it goes on flying anyway. +To be beautiful means to be yourself. You don’t need to be accepted by others. You need to accept yourself. +Keeping a little ahead of conditions is one of the secrets of business, the trailer seldom goes far. +Do you want to know who you are? Don't ask. Act! Action will delineate and define you. +Always be yourself, express yourself, have faith in yourself, do not go out and look for a successful personality and duplicate it. +All our knowledge begins with the senses, proceeds then to the understanding, and ends with reason. There is nothing higher than reason. +Responsibility is not inherited, it is a choice that everyone needs to make at some point in their life. +Remember always that you not only have the right to be an individual, you have an obligation to be one. +It is only with the heart that one can see rightly, what is essential is invisible to the eye. +When you begin to touch your heart or let your heart be touched, you begin to discover that it's bottomless. +Never do things others can do and will do, if there are things others cannot do or will not do. +I will not be concerned at other men is not knowing me;I will be concerned at my own want of ability. +I can't change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to always reach my destination. +If we could learn to like ourselves, even a little, maybe our cruelties and angers might melt away. +What we think determines what happens to us, so if we want to change our lives, we need to stretch our minds. +People of mediocre ability sometimes achieve outstanding success because they don't know when to quit. Most men succeed because they are determined to. +Every time you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing. +A fine quotation is a diamond on the finger of a man of wit, and a pebble in the hand of a fool. +I cannot always control what goes on outside. But I can always control what goes on inside. +Life's challenges are not supposed to paralyse you, they're supposed to help you discover who you are. +If you accept the expectations of others, especially negative ones, then you never will change the outcome. +Life is like a sewer. What you get out of it depends on what you put into it. +You can be what you want to be. You have the power within and we will help you always. +If the stars should appear but one night every thousand years how man would marvel and adore. +The greatest way to live with honour in this world is to be what we pretend to be. +To exist is to change, to change is to mature, to mature is to go on creating oneself endlessly. +You can adopt the attitude there is nothing you can do, or you can see the challenge as your call to action. +True silence is the rest of the mind; it is to the spirit what sleep is to the body, nourishment and refreshment. +A life spent making mistakes is not only more honourable but more useful than a life spent in doing nothing. +All our knowledge begins with the senses, proceeds then to the understanding, and ends with reason. There is nothing higher than reason. +Try not to become a man of success but rather try to become a man of value. +Something opens our wings. Something makes boredom and hurt disappear. Someone fills the cup in front of us: We taste only sacredness. +You can't create in a vacuum. Life gives you the material and dreams can propel new beginnings. +A true friend is the most precious of all possessions and the one we take the least thought about acquiring. +It is more important to know where you are going than to get there quickly. Do not mistake activity for achievement. +Your work is to discover your world and then with all your heart give yourself to it. +Arrogance and rudeness are training wheels on the bicycle of life — for weak people who cannot keep their balance without them. +I find hope in the darkest of days, and focus in the brightest. I do not judge the universe. +We cannot change our memories, but we can change their meaning and the power they have over us. +The possession of knowledge does not kill the sense of wonder and mystery. There is always more mystery. +One does not discover new lands without consenting to lose sight of the shore for a very long time. +The person who lives life fully, glowing with life's energy, is the person who lives a successful life. +Man is equally incapable of seeing the nothingness from which he emerges and the infinity in which he is engulfed. +Don't turn away from possible futures before you're certain you don't have anything to learn from them. +Aerodynamically the bumblebee shouldn't be able to fly, but the bumblebee doesn't know that so it goes on flying anyway. +Some people thrive on huge, dramatic change. Some people prefer the slow and steady route. Do what's right for you. +A successful person is one who can lay a firm foundation with the bricks that others throw at him or her. +A wise man can learn more from a foolish question than a fool can learn from a wise answer. +All that we are is the result of what we have thought. The mind is everything. What we think we become. +Work while you have the light. You are responsible for the talent that has been entrusted to you. +A life spent making mistakes is not only more honourable but more useful than a life spent in doing nothing. +A true friend is the most precious of all possessions and the one we take the least thought about acquiring. +How far that little candle throws its beams! So shines a good deed in a naughty world. +Every adversity, every failure, every heartache carries with it the seed of an equal or greater benefit. +If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader. +Fear is a darkroom where negatives develop. +It is in your moments of decision that your destiny is shaped. +Those who are free of resentful thoughts surely find peace. +Blaze with the fire that is never extinguished. +An obstacle may be either a stepping stone or a stumbling block. +The pain passes, but the beauty remains. +All I can say about life is, Oh God, enjoy it! +Creativity comes from trust. Trust your instincts. And never hope more than you work. +Love doesn't make the world go round, love is what makes the ride worthwhile. +Your outlook on life is a direct reflection on how much you like yourself. +I have just three things to teach: simplicity, patience, compassion. These three are your greatest treasures. +You won't skid if you stay in a rut. +You block your dream when you allow your fear to grow bigger than your faith. +Happiness depends upon ourselves. +Tension is who you think you should be. Relaxation is who you are. +Wherever a man turns he can find someone who needs him. +If one is lucky, a solitary fantasy can totally transform one million realities. +The years teach much which the days never know. +Never idealize others. They will never live up to your expectations. +The only limit to our realization of tomorrow will be our doubts of today. +He who is contented is rich. +When you realize there is nothing lacking, the whole world belongs to you. +No man was ever wise by chance. +The more you know yourself, the more you forgive yourself. +Trust yourself. You know more than you think you do. +Time you enjoy wasting, was not wasted. +Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions. +Meaning is not what you start with but what you end up with. +No one has ever become poor by giving. +Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies. +What you do not want done to yourself, do not do to others. +Each misfortune you encounter will carry in it the seed of tomorrows good luck. +All is flux; nothing stays still. +He who is fixed to a star does not change his mind. +He who lives in harmony with himself lives in harmony with the universe. +Ignorant men don't know what good they hold in their hands until they've flung it away. +When the solution is simple, God is answering. +All achievements, all earned riches, have their beginning in an idea. +Do not turn back when you are just at the goal. +You can't trust without risk but neither can you live in a cocoon. +All perceiving is also thinking, all reasoning is also intuition, all observation is also invention. +Error is discipline through which we advance. +The truth is always exciting. Speak it, then. Life is dull without it. +What worries you masters you. +The worst bankrupt in the world is the person who has lost his enthusiasm. +The superior man is modest in his speech, but exceeds in his actions. +The longer we dwell on our misfortunes, the greater is their power to harm us. +Those who will play with cats must expect to be scratched. +I've never seen a smiling face that was not beautiful. +In all things of nature there is something of the marvellous. +Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself. +The universe is transformation; our life is what our thoughts make it. +Memory is the mother of all wisdom. +Silence is the true friend that never betrays. +You might well remember that nothing can bring you success but yourself. +Watch the little things; a small leak will sink a great ship. +God has given you one face, and you make yourself another. +All perceiving is also thinking, all reasoning is also intuition, all observation is also invention. +The more you know yourself, the more you forgive yourself. +Efficiency is doing things right; effectiveness is doing the right things. +To be wronged is nothing unless you continue to remember it. +Kindness is the greatest wisdom. +Action will remove the doubts that theory cannot solve. +Don't miss all the beautiful colors of the rainbow looking for that pot of gold. +Your big opportunity may be right where you are now. +Kindness is the greatest wisdom. +People who say it cannot be done should not interrupt those who are doing it. +The day you decide to do it is your lucky day. +We must not say every mistake is a foolish one. +Imagination is the highest kite one can fly. +Every action of our lives touches on some chord that will vibrate in eternity. +Accept challenges, so that you may feel the exhilaration of victory. +It is better to understand a little than to misunderstand a lot. +You don't drown by falling in water. You drown by staying there. +Never be afraid to try, remember... Amateurs built the ark, Professionals built the Titanic. +Correction does much, but encouragement does more. +Know, first, who you are, and then adorn yourself accordingly. +The biggest adventure you can ever take is to live the life of your dreams. +The pain passes, but the beauty remains. +The cause is hidden. The effect is visible to all. +You will not be punished for your anger, you will be punished by your anger. +Time you enjoy wasting, was not wasted. +Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions. +Don't miss all the beautiful colors of the rainbow looking for that pot of gold. +Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it. +We all have problems. The way we solve them is what makes us different. +An obstacle may be either a stepping stone or a stumbling block. +To want to be what one can be is purpose in life. +The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams. +Remember that sometimes not getting what you want is a wonderful stroke of luck. +Truth is powerful and it prevails. +History will be kind to me for I intend to write it. +Short words are best and the old words when short are best of all. +Our lives are a sum total of the choices we have made. +Time stays long enough for anyone who will use it. +Each day provides its own gifts. +You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life. +If you light a lamp for somebody, it will also brighten your path. +Never tell me the sky’s the limit when there are footprints on the moon. +You must welcome change as the rule but not as your ruler. +Give whatever you are doing and whoever you are with the gift of your attention. +Always be smarter than the people who hire you. +We do what we do because we believe. +Formula for success: under promise and over deliver. +The eye sees only what the mind is prepared to comprehend. +You can't stop the waves, but you can learn to surf. +Some people think it's holding that makes one strong — sometimes it's letting go. +Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration. +People seldom notice old clothes if you wear a big smile. +The more light you allow within you, the brighter the world you live in will be. +Nothing diminishes anxiety faster than action. +Man cannot discover new oceans unless he has the courage to lose sight of the shore. +Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding about ourselves. +Never mistake activity for achievement. +Fortune favours the brave. +Can you imagine what I would do if I could do all I can? +Remember that sometimes not getting what you want is a wonderful stroke of luck. +Practice yourself, for heavens sake in little things, and then proceed to greater. +Ignorance never settle a question. +The awareness of our own strength makes us modest. +The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step. +They must often change, who would be constant in happiness or wisdom. +There are no failures. Just experiences and your reactions to them. +Your future depends on many things, but mostly on you. +Fear grows in darkness; if you think theres a bogeyman around, turn on the light. +If you surrender to the wind, you can ride it. +The most important point is to accept yourself and stand on your two feet. +It is better to understand a little than to misunderstand a lot. +If we did the things we are capable of, we would astound ourselves. +Do not expect the world to look bright, if you habitually wear gray-brown glasses. +More often than not, anger is actually an indication of weakness rather than of strength. +We must not say every mistake is a foolish one. +The superior man is modest in his speech, but exceeds in his actions. +As long as your going to be thinking anyway, think big. +Without some goals and some efforts to reach it, no man can live. +He who obtains has little. He who scatters has much. +Wherever a man turns he can find someone who needs him. +Myths which are believed in tend to become true. +If the shoe doesn't fit, must we change the foot? +Love all, trust a few, do wrong to none. +Those who will play with cats must expect to be scratched. +You have to do your own growing no matter how tall your grandfather was. +To be upset over what you don't have is to waste what you do have. +The foot feels the foot when it feels the ground. +Not what we have but what we enjoy constitutes our abundance. +We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit. +Opportunity is missed by most because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. +Successful people ask better questions, and as a result, they get better answers. +It is never too late to be what you might have been. +The beginning is always today. +Sadness flies away on the wings of time. +In the long run we get no more than we have been willing to risk giving. +Self-trust is the first secret of success. +Without some goals and some efforts to reach it, no man can live. +So long as a person is capable of self-renewal they are a living being. +Don't look back. Something might be gaining on you. +From error to error one discovers the entire truth. +They must often change, who would be constant in happiness or wisdom. +Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up. +Learn all you can from the mistakes of others. You won't have time to make them all yourself. +Nothing is predestined: The obstacles of your past can become the gateways that lead to new beginnings. +The greatest way to live with honour in this world is to be what we pretend to be. +Let us be grateful to people who make us happy; they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom. +Look back over the past, with its changing empires that rose and fell, and you can foresee the future, too. +All our knowledge begins with the senses, proceeds then to the understanding, and ends with reason. There is nothing higher than reason. +Though no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending. +If it is not right do not do it; if it is not true do not say it. +Happiness is not in the mere possession of money; it lies in the joy of achievement, in the thrill of creative effort. +A life spent making mistakes is not only more honourable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing. +Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed people can change the world. Indeed. It is the only thing that ever has. +When you have got an elephant by the hind legs and he is trying to run away, it's best to let him run. +Men are disturbed not by things, but by the view which they take of them. +Imagination disposes of everything; it creates beauty, justice, and happiness, which are everything in this world. +Being in humaneness is good. If we select other goodness and thus are far apart from humaneness, how can we be the wise? +People of mediocre ability sometimes achieve outstanding success because they don't know when to quit. Most men succeed because they are determined to. +Happiness is a Swedish sunset — it is there for all, but most of us look the other way and lose it. +A smile is a light in the window of your face to show your heart is at home. +The greatest good you can do for another is not just to share your riches but to reveal to him his own. +The person who lives life fully, glowing with life's energy, is the person who lives a successful life. +Your work is to discover your world and then with all your heart give yourself to it. +A man may fulfil the object of his existence by asking a question he cannot answer, and attempting a task he cannot achieve. +When we seek to discover the best in others, we somehow bring out the best in ourselves. +Look forward to spring as a time when you can start to see what nature has to offer once again. +Man is equally incapable of seeing the nothingness from which he emerges and the infinity in which he is engulfed. +Trust your own instinct. Your mistakes might as well be your own, instead of someone elses. +The least movement is of importance to all nature. The entire ocean is affected by a pebble. +I am always doing that which I can not do, in order that I may learn how to do it. +You are always free to change your mind and choose a different future, or a different past. +If we have a positive mental attitude, then even when surrounded by hostility, we shall not lack inner peace. +The grand essentials of happiness are: something to do, something to love, and something to hope for. +Responsibility is not inherited, it is a choice that everyone needs to make at some point in their life. +I find hope in the darkest of days, and focus in the brightest. I do not judge the universe. +Everyone can taste success when the going is easy, but few know how to taste victory when times get tough. +There are two primary choices in life: to accept conditions as they exist, or accept responsibility for changing them. +Men in general judge more from appearances than from reality. All men have eyes, but few have the gift of penetration. +You may only be someone in the world, but to someone else, you may be the world. +The real measure of your wealth is how much youd be worth if you lost all your money. +Every artist dips his brush in his own soul, and paints his own nature into his pictures. +To keep the body in good health is a duty... otherwise we shall not be able to keep our mind strong and clear. +A fine quotation is a diamond on the finger of a man of wit, and a pebble in the hand of a fool. +It is the greatest of all mistakes to do nothing because you can only do little — do what you can. +If you take each challenge one step at a time, with faith in every footstep, your strength and understanding will increase. +There is only one corner of the universe you can be certain of improving, and that's your own self. +You, yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection. +Happiness cannot be travelled to, owned, earned, worn or consumed. Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace and gratitude. +He that never changes his opinions, never corrects his mistakes, and will never be wiser on the morrow than he is today. +At the center of your being you have the answer; you know who you are and you know what you want. +There are things so deep and complex that only intuition can reach it in our stage of development as human beings. +Until you value yourself, you won't value your time. Until you value your time, you won't do anything with it. +Responsibility is not inherited, it is a choice that everyone needs to make at some point in their life. +Everyone should carefully observe which way his heart draws him, and then choose that way with all his strength. +When we quit thinking primarily about ourselves and our own self-preservation, we undergo a truly heroic transformation of consciousness. +Nothing is predestined: The obstacles of your past can become the gateways that lead to new beginnings. +I cannot always control what goes on outside. But I can always control what goes on inside. +Do not give your attention to what others do or fail to do; give it to what you do or fail to do. +The world is round and the place which may seem like the end may also be the beginning. +He that never changes his opinions, never corrects his mistakes, and will never be wiser on the morrow than he is today. +Follow effective action with quiet reflection. From the quiet reflection will come even more effective action. +A wise man can learn more from a foolish question than a fool can learn from a wise answer. +Life's challenges are not supposed to paralyze you, they're supposed to help you discover who you are. +There is one thing you have got to learn about our movement. Three people are better than no people. +We never understand how little we need in this world until we know the loss of it. +Happiness is a perfume you cannot pour on others without getting a few drops on yourself. +Cherish your visions and your dreams as they are the children of your soul, the blueprints of your ultimate achievements. +You get peace of mind not by thinking about it or imagining it, but by quietening and relaxing the restless mind. +I'm a great believer in luck and I find the harder I work, the more I have of it. +It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it. +It is not the mistake that has the most power, instead, it is learning from the mistake to advance your own attributes. +There are two primary choices in life: to accept conditions as they exist, or accept the responsibility for changing them. +The amount of happiness that you have depends on the amount of freedom you have in your heart. +Do not overrate what you have received, nor envy others. He who envies others does not obtain peace of mind. +You, yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection. +Do not give your attention to what others do or fail to do; give it to what you do or fail to do. +I believe that a simple and unassuming manner of life is best for everyone, best both for the body and the mind. +Success means having the courage, the determination, and the will to become the person you believe you were meant to be. +Do not be too timid and squeamish about your reactions. All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better. +Let me tell you the secret that has led me to my goal: my strength lies solely in my tenacity +Your vision will become clear only when you look into your heart. Who looks outside, dreams. Who looks inside, awakens. +Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. And today? Today is a gift. That is why we call it the present. +Make the best use of what is in your power, and take the rest as it happens. +A little more persistence, a little more effort, and what seemed hopeless failure may turn to glorious success. +The way we communicate with others and with ourselves ultimately determines the quality of our lives. +The greatest good you can do for another is not just to share your riches but to reveal to him his own. +Some people thrive on huge, dramatic change. Some people prefer the slow and steady route. Do what's right for you. +Every man takes the limits of his own field of vision for the limits of the world. +Sometimes it is better to lose and do the right thing than to win and do the wrong thing. +If we are facing in the right direction, all we have to do is keep on walking. +I find hope in the darkest of days, and focus in the brightest. I do not judge the universe. +I seek constantly to improve my manners and graces, for they are the sugar to which all are attracted. +Let us always meet each other with smile, for the smile is the beginning of love. +A bend in the road is not the end of the road...unless you fail to make the turn. +I would maintain that thanks are the highest form of thought, and that gratitude is happiness doubled by wonder. +We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit. +Peace of mind is not the absence of conflict from life, but the ability to cope with it. +Living at risk is jumping off the cliff and building your wings on the way down. +The person born with a talent they are meant to use will find their greatest happiness in using it. +In the depth of winter, I finally learned that there was within me an invincible summer. +Wit lies in recognizing the resemblance among things which differ and the difference between things which are alike. +Bodily exercise, when compulsory, does no harm to the body; but knowledge which is acquired under compulsion obtains no hold on the mind. +A failure is a man who has blundered but is not capable of cashing in on the experience. +I cannot give you the formula for success, but I can give you the formula for failure: which is: Try to please everybody. +I believe that a simple and unassuming manner of life is best for everyone, best both for the body and the mind. +One who asks a question is a fool for five minutes; one who does not ask a question remains a fool forever. +The person who lives life fully, glowing with life's energy, is the person who lives a successful life. +The power of intuitive understanding will protect you from harm until the end of your days. +The best thing about the future is that it only comes one day at a time. +A smile is a light in the window of your face to show your heart is at home. +There are two kinds of failures: those who thought and never did, and those who did and never thought. +We have two ears and one mouth so that we can listen twice as much as we speak. +Fear of failure is one attitude that will keep you at the same point in your life. +Sadness may be part of life but there is no need to let it dominate your entire life. +By going beyond your own problems and taking care of others, you gain inner strength, self-confidence, courage, and a greater sense of calm. +Friends are those rare people who ask how we are and then wait to hear the answer. +A wise man can learn more from a foolish question than a fool can learn from a wise answer. +I'm a great believer in luck and I find the harder I work, the more I have of it. +I can't change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to always reach my destination. +If we learn to open our hearts, anyone, including the people who drive us crazy, can be our teacher. +Everyone should carefully observe which way his heart draws him, and then choose that way with all his strength. +People grow through experience if they meet life honestly and courageously. This is how character is built. +A hero is no braver than an ordinary man, but he is braver five minutes longer. +While we try to teach our children all about life, our children teach us what life is all about. +If we have a positive mental attitude, then even when surrounded by hostility, we shall not lack inner peace. +In a controversy the instant we feel anger we have already ceased striving for the truth, and have begun striving for ourselves. +Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. And today? Today is a gift that's why they call it the present. +All difficult things have their origin in that which is easy, and great things in that which is small. +When you dance, your purpose is not to get to a certain place on the floor. It's to enjoy each step along the way. +The only difference between your abilities and others is the ability to put yourself in their shoes and actually try. +The highest stage in moral ure at which we can arrive is when we recognize that we ought to control our thoughts. +Never miss an opportunity to make others happy, even if you have to leave them alone in order to do it. +One who asks a question is a fool for five minutes; one who does not ask a question remains a fool forever. +This world, after all our science and sciences, is still a miracle; wonderful, inscrutable, magical and more, to whosoever will think of it. +A subtle thought that is in error may yet give rise to fruitful inquiry that can establish truths of great value. +By going beyond your own problems and taking care of others, you gain inner strength, self-confidence, courage, and a greater sense of calm. +The road leading to a goal does not separate you from the destination; it is essentially a part of it. +Genuine love should first be directed at oneself – if we do not love ourselves, how can we love others? +Courage is not about taking risks unknowingly but putting your own being in front of challenges that others may not be able to. +Intuition is the supra-logic that cuts out all the routine processes of thought and leaps straight from the problem to the answer. +All difficult things have their origin in that which is easy, and great things in that which is small. +The Creator has not given you a longing to do that which you have no ability to do. +It's so simple to be wise. Just think of something stupid to say and then don't say it. +Consider that not only do negative thoughts and emotions destroy our experience of peace, they also undermine our health. +Do not overrate what you have received, nor envy others. He who envies others does not obtain peace of mind. +Until you make peace with who you are, you will never be content with what you have. +The possession of knowledge does not kill the sense of wonder and mystery. There is always more mystery. +It is more important to know where you are going than to get there quickly. Do not mistake activity for achievement. +To give hope to someone occurs when you teach them how to use the tools to do it for themselves. +It is the greatest of all mistakes to do nothing because you can only do little — do what you can. +No one saves us but ourselves. No one can and no one may. We ourselves must walk the path. +To live a pure unselfish life, one must count nothing as ones own in the midst of abundance. +The moment one gives close attention to anything, it becomes a mysterious, awesome, indescribably magnificent world in itself. +Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony. +If we are facing in the right direction, all we have to do is keep on walking. +Every time you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing. +Great indeed is the sublimity of the Creative, to which all beings owe their beginning and which permeates all heaven. +People are so constituted that everybody would rather undertake what they see others do, whether they have an aptitude for it or not. +The smallest flower is a thought, a life answering to some feature of the Great Whole, of whom they have a persistent intuition. +The greatest antidote to insecurity and the sense of fear is compassion — it brings one back to the basis of one's inner strength +Courage is the discovery that you may not win, and trying when you know you can lose. +Nature gave us one tongue and two ears so we could hear twice as much as we speak. +No valid plans for the future can be made by those who have no capacity for living now. +To be thoughtful and kind only takes a few seconds compared to the timeless hurt caused by one rude gesture. +The purpose of learning is growth, and our minds, unlike our bodies, can continue growing as we continue to live. +Men in general judge more from appearances than from reality. All men have eyes, but few have the gift of penetration. +When you realize how perfect everything is you will tilt your head back and laugh at the sky. +Nothing is predestined: The obstacles of your past can become the gateways that lead to new beginnings. +Blessed is the person who is too busy to worry in the daytime, and too sleepy to worry at night. +The highest stage in moral ure at which we can arrive is when we recognize that we ought to control our thoughts. +To keep the body in good health is a duty... otherwise we shall not be able to keep our mind strong and clear. +For every failure, there's an alternative course of action. You just have to find it. When you come to a roadblock, take a detour. +It is surprising what a man can do when he has to, and how little most men will do when they don't have to. +To be aware of a single shortcoming in oneself is more useful than to be aware of a thousand in someone else. +Nobody made a greater mistake than he who did nothing because he could do only a little. +Responsibility is not inherited, it is a choice that everyone needs to make at some point in their life. +Blessed is the person who is too busy to worry in the daytime, and too sleepy to worry at night. +Today, give a stranger a smile without waiting for it may be the joy they need to have a great day. +There are two kinds of failures: those who thought and never did, and those who did and never thought. +With realization of ones own potential and self-confidence in ones ability, one can build a better world. +I cannot give you the formula for success, but I can give you the formula for failure: which is: Try to please everybody. +Constant kindness can accomplish much. As the sun makes ice melt, kindness causes misunderstanding, mistrust, and hostility to evaporate. +Experience is not what happens to a man. It is what a man does with what happens to him. +The greatest minds are capable of the greatest vices as well as of the greatest virtues. +A man should look for what is, and not for what he thinks should be. +You can't let praise or criticism get to you. It's a weakness to get caught up in either one. +A hero is no braver than an ordinary man, but he is braver five minutes longer. +Cherish your visions and your dreams as they are the children of your soul, the blueprints of your ultimate achievements. +Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself, in your way of thinking. +Difficulties are meant to rouse, not discourage. The human spirit is to grow strong by conflict. +Peace is not something you wish for. It's something you make, something you do, something you are, and something you give away. +If you have no respect for your own values how can you be worthy of respect from others. +One must be fond of people and trust them if one is not to make a mess of life. +The real measure of your wealth is how much youd be worth if you lost all your money. +People take different roads seeking fulfilment and happiness. Just because theyre not on your road doesn't mean they've gotten lost. +Some people are always grumbling because roses have thorns; I am thankful that thorns have roses. +You are always free to change your mind and choose a different future, or a different past. +A subtle thought that is in error may yet give rise to fruitful inquiry that can establish truths of great value. +Genuine love should first be directed at oneself – if we do not love ourselves, how can we love others? +To choose what is difficult all ones days, as if it were easy, that is faith. +Work while you have the light. You are responsible for the talent that has been entrusted to you. +Ability is what you're capable of doing. Motivation determines what you do.Attitude determines how well you do it. +Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy. +People of mediocre ability sometimes achieve outstanding success because they don't know when to quit. Most men succeed because they are determined to. +There are things so deep and complex that only intuition can reach it in our stage of development as human beings. +To be beautiful means to be yourself. You don’t need to be accepted by others. You need to accept yourself. +He that respects himself is safe from others; he wears a coat of mail that none can pierce. +A life spent making mistakes is not only more honourable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing. +Do not be embarrassed by your mistakes. Nothing can teach us better than our understanding of them. This is one of the best ways of self-education. +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. +I care not so much what I am to others as what I am to myself. I will be rich by myself, and not by borrowing. +Know that although in the eternal scheme of things you are small, you are also unique and irreplaceable, as are all your fellow humans everywhere in the world. +To do all that one is able to do, is to be a man; to do all that one would like to do, is to be a god. +When you see a man of worth, think of how you may emulate him. When you see one who is unworthy, examine yourself. +If you let go a little, you will have a little peace. If you let go a lot, you will have a lot of peace. +Do not be embarrassed by your mistakes. Nothing can teach us better than our understanding of them. This is one of the best ways of self-education. +There is no need for temples, no need for complicated philosophies. My brain and my heart are my temples; my philosophy is kindness. +The spirit, the will to win, and the will to excel, are the things that endure. These qualities are so much more important than the events that occur. +Man is not sum of what he has already, but rather the sum of what he does not yet have, of what he could have. +Don't believe what your eyes are telling you. All they show is limitation. Look with your understanding, find out what you already know, and you'll see the way to fly. +I believe that we are solely responsible for our choices, and we have to accept the consequences of every deed, word, and thought throughout our lifetime. +I will love the light for it shows me the way, yet I will endure the darkness because it shows me the stars. +There is no need for temples, no need for complicated philosophies. My brain and my heart are my temples; my philosophy is kindness. +Wishes can be your best avenue of getting what you want when you turn wishes into action. Action moves your wish to the forefront from thought to reality. +Don't believe what your eyes are telling you. All they show is limitation. Look with your understanding, find out what you already know, and you'll see the way to fly. +To understand the heart and mind of a person, look not at what he has already achieved, but at what he aspires to do. +I am of the opinion that my life belongs to the community, and as long as I live it is my privilege to do for it whatever I can. +Imagination is more important than knowledge. For while knowledge defines all we currently know and understand, imagination points to all we might yet discover and create. +When you see a good person, think of becoming like him. When you see someone not so good, reflect on your own weak points. +When you see a man of worth, think of how you may emulate him. When you see one who is unworthy, examine yourself. +If one is estranged from oneself, then one is estranged from others too. If one is out of touch with oneself, then one cannot touch others. +Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all. +You may say Im a dreamer, but Im not the only one, I hope someday you will join us, and the world will live as one. +Happiness is as a butterfly which, when pursued, is always beyond our grasp, but which if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you. +He who experiences the unity of life sees his own Self in all beings, and all beings in his own Self, and looks on everything with an impartial eye. +In the sky, there is no distinction of east and west; people create distinctions out of their own minds and then believe them to be true. +You cannot change anything in your life with intention alone, which can become a watered-down, occasional hope that you'll get to tomorrow. Intention without action is useless. +Do not be embarrassed by your mistakes. Nothing can teach us better than our understanding of them. This is one of the best ways of self-education. +Before you can inspire with emotion, you must be swamped with it yourself. Before you can move their tears, your own must flow. To convince them, you must yourself believe. +The greatest discovery of our generation is that human beings can alter their lives by altering their attitudes of mind. As you think, so shall you be. +If one advances confidently in the direction of his dream, and endeavours to live the life which he had imagines, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours. +The secret of joy in work is contained in one word — excellence. To know how to do something well is to enjoy it. +When you meet someone better than yourself, turn your thoughts to becoming his equal. When you meet someone not as good as you are, look within and examine your own self. +Happiness is as a butterfly which, when pursued, is always beyond our grasp, but which if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you. +We must overcome the notion that we must be regular. It robs you of the chance to be extraordinary and leads you to the mediocre. +Most of our obstacles would melt away if, instead of cowering before them, we should make up our minds to walk boldly through them. +Everything can be taken from a man but ... the last of the human freedoms — to choose ones attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose ones own way. +It is better to have enough ideas for some of them to be wrong, than to be always right by having no ideas at all. +Character is like a tree and reputation like a shadow. The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing. +By letting it go it all gets done. The world is won by those who let it go. But when you try and try. The world is beyond the winning. +I am like a falling star who has finally found her place next to another in a lovely constellation, where we will sparkle in the heavens forever. +Not every difficult and dangerous thing is suitable for training, but only that which is conducive to success in achieving the object of our effort. +We are not animals. We are not a product of what has happened to us in our past. We have the power of choice. +The most dangerous way to lose time is not to spend it having fun, but to spend it doing fake work. When you spend time having fun, you know you're being self-indulgent. +Thousands of candles can be lit from a single, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared. +A lot of times people look at the negative side of what they feel they can't do. I always look on the positive side of what I can do. +Without passion man is a mere latent force and possibility, like the flint which awaits the shock of the iron before it can give forth its spark. +Love at first sight is easy to understand; its when two people have been looking at each other for a lifetime that it becomes a miracle. +With courage you will dare to take risks, have the strength to be compassionate, and the wisdom to be humble. Courage is the foundation of integrity. +The right way is not always the popular and easy way. Standing for right when it is unpopular is a true test of moral character. +I prefer to be true to myself, even at the hazard of incurring the ridicule of others, rather than to be false, and to incur my own abhorrence. +No pessimist ever discovered the secrets of the stars, or sailed to an uncharted land, or opened a new heaven to the human spirit. +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. +When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive — to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love. +Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, vision cleared, ambition inspired, and success achieved. +Although there may be tragedy in your life, there's always a possibility to triumph. It doesn't matter who you are, where you come from. The ability to triumph begins with you. Always. +You must train your intuition — you must trust the small voice inside you which tells you exactly what to say, what to decide. +If you let go a little, you will have a little peace. If you let go a lot, you will have a lot of peace. +Accept the things to which fate binds you, and love the people with whom fate brings you together, but do so with all your heart. +Let us resolve to be masters, not the victims, of our history, controlling our own destiny without giving way to blind suspicions and emotions. +The greatest discovery of our generation is that human beings can alter their lives by altering their attitudes of mind. As you think, so shall you be. +Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood. Now is the time to understand more, so that we may fear less. +Parents can only give good advice or put them on the right paths, but the final forming of a persons character lies in their own hands. +Adversity isn't set against you to fail; adversity is a way to build your character so that you can succeed over and over again through perseverance. +Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all. +Let us resolve to be masters, not the victims, of our history, controlling our own destiny without giving way to blind suspicions and emotions. +When you meet someone better than yourself, turn your thoughts to becoming his equal. When you meet someone not as good as you are, look within and examine your own self. +If you break your neck, if you have nothing to eat, if your house is on fire, then you got a problem. Everything else is inconvenience. +Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful. +If A is success in life, then A equals x plus y plus z. Work is x; y is play; and z is keeping your mouth shut. +There is no need for temples, no need for complicated philosophies. My brain and my heart are my temples; my philosophy is kindness. +My advice to you is not to inquire why or whither, but just enjoy your ice cream while its on your plate — that's my philosophy. +Conflict is the gadfly of thought. It stirs us to observation and memory. It instigates to invention. It shocks us out of sheeplike passivity, and sets us at noting and contriving. +He who conquers others is strong; He who conquers himself is mighty. +Smile, breathe, and go slowly. +Nothing diminishes anxiety faster than action. +The secret of success is constancy to purpose. +Anything you really want, you can attain, if you really go after it. +Arriving at one point is the starting point to another. +The foolish man seeks happiness in the distance, the wise grows it under his feet. +Don't be afraid to go out on a limb. That's where the fruit is. +When the solution is simple, God is answering. +Never put off till tomorrow what you can do today. +Do not expect the world to look bright, if you habitually wear gray-brown glasses. +The greatest part of our happiness depends on our dispositions, not our circumstances. +It is in your moments of decision that your destiny is shaped. +It is only possible to live happily ever after on a day to day basis. +Being right is highly overrated. Even a stopped clock is right twice a day. +Love doesn't make the world go round, love is what makes the ride worthwhile. +Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap but by the seeds you plant. +One fails forward toward success. +A man sees in the world what he carries in his heart. +If you surrender to the wind, you can ride it. +Action may not always bring happiness, but there is no happiness without action. +Love is the flower you've got to let grow. +Believe deep down in your heart that you're destined to do great things. +Sooner or later, those who win are those who think they can. +The only limit to your impact is your imagination and commitment. +Silence is the true friend that never betrays. +You are special, you are unique, you are the best! +Four steps to achievement: Plan purposefully. Prepare prayerfully. Proceed positively. Pursue persistently. +It is in your moments of decision that your destiny is shaped. +Life is a learning experience, only if you learn. +A short saying oft contains much wisdom. +I'm not afraid of storms, for Im learning how to sail my ship. +To know oneself is to study oneself in action with another person. +Whenever you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth. +We must not allow ourselves to become like the system we oppose. +Smile, breathe and go slowly. +The day you decide to do it is your lucky day. +To want to be what one can be is purpose in life. +Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one. +When you come to the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on. +Always be mindful of the kindness and not the faults of others. +Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves. +When fate hands us a lemon, lets try to make lemonade. +The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong. +A man is great by deeds, not by birth. +Success is getting what you want. Happiness is wanting what you get. +I believe that every person is born with talent. +Put your future in good hands — your own. +Don't be pushed by your problems; be led by your dreams. +You are important enough to ask and you are blessed enough to receive back. +Truth isn't all about what actually happens but more about how what has happened is interpreted. +The cautious seldom err. +No garden is without its weeds. +Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes. +A good rest is half the work. +Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap but by the seeds that you plant. +Small opportunities are often the beginning of great enterprises. +You can do what's reasonable or you can decide what's possible. +To be tested is good. The challenged life may be the best therapist. +If you think you can, you can. And if you think you can't, you're right. +There are no failures. Just experiences and your reactions to them. +I destroy my enemies when I make them my friends. +Do something wonderful, people may imitate it. +Fears are nothing more than a state of mind. +Take heed: you do not find what you do not seek. +Happiness is the reward we get for living to the highest right we know. +Be slow of tongue and quick of eye. +Freedom is not worth having if it does not connote freedom to err. +Nothing diminishes anxiety faster than action. +I have always thought the actions of men the best interpreters of their thoughts. +If one is lucky, a solitary fantasy can totally transform one million realities. +He who obtains has little. He who scatters has much. +I'm not afraid of storms, for Im learning how to sail my ship. +Be great in act, as you have been in thought. +The cause is hidden. The effect is visible to all. +He who obtains has little. He who scatters has much. +To dare is to lose ones footing momentarily. To not dare is to lose oneself. +No day in which you learn something is a complete loss. +When the solution is simple, God is answering. +Peace cannot be kept by force. It can only be achieved by understanding. +Real success is finding your lifework in the work that you love. +Better than a thousand hollow words, is one word that brings peace. +All the flowers of all the tomorrows are in the seeds of today. +Some pursue happiness, others create it. +Your sacred space is where you can find yourself again and again. +There never was a good knife made of bad steel. +He who talks more is sooner exhausted. +As you think, so shall you become. +Do not turn back when you are just at the goal. +He who obtains has little. He who scatters has much. +In seed time learn, in harvest teach, in winter enjoy. +A short saying oft contains much wisdom. +Happiness does not come from having much, but from being attached to little. +Every gift from a friend is a wish for your happiness. +Go put your creed into the deed. Nor speak with double tongue. +In the end we retain from our studies only that which we practically apply. +The wisest men follow their own direction. +Hope arouses, as nothing else can arouse, a passion for the possible. +Myths which are believed in tend to become true. +Who sows virtue reaps honour. +The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams. +Everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it. +Courage is going from failure to failure without losing enthusiasm. +He who talks more is sooner exhausted. +Nothing ever goes away until it has taught us what we need to know. +Smile, breathe, and go slowly. +In separateness lies the world's great misery, in compassion lies the world's true strength. +Small opportunities are often the beginning of great enterprises. +If you don't know where you are going, you will probably end up somewhere else. +When you learn, teach. When you get, give. +We choose our destiny in the way we treat others. +The universe is transformation; our life is what our thoughts make it. +Difficulties increase the nearer we get to the goal. +Smile, breathe, and go slowly. +Science is organized knowledge. Wisdom is organized life. +Only when we are no longer afraid do we begin to live. +If you smile when no one else is around, you really mean it. +Life is a process. We are a process. The universe is a process. +Love is the only force capable of transforming an enemy into friend. +Good luck is another name for tenacity of purpose. +Well done is better than well said. +Our lives are a sum total of the choices we have made. +In all chaos there is a cosmos, in all disorder a secret order. +A man is not where he lives but where he loves. +You can do what's reasonable or you can decide what's possible. +The greatest remedy for anger is delay. +The price of greatness is responsibility. +Decision is a risk rooted in the courage of being free. +The day is already blessed, find peace within it. +You might well remember that nothing can bring you success but yourself. +Your mind will answer most questions if you learn to relax and wait for the answer. +All things change; nothing perishes. +You can do it if you believe you can! +God has given you one face, and you make yourself another. +Being right is highly overrated. Even a stopped clock is right twice a day. +The world doesn’t happen to you it happens from you. +It is only possible to live happily ever after on a day to day basis. +We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them. +More powerful than the will to win is the courage to begin. +Wisdom is the supreme part of happiness. +Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes. +Learning is finding out what you already know. +Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap but by the seeds you plant. +We learn what we have said from those who listen to our speaking. +Efficiency is doing things right; effectiveness is doing the right things. +Saying thank you is more than good manners. It is good spirituality. +Silence is a source of great strength. +Joy is the best makeup. +If you cannot be silent be brilliant and thoughtful. +There is no great genius without some touch of madness. +The biggest adventure you can ever take is to live the life of your dreams. +A jug fills drop by drop. +You must welcome change as the rule but not as your ruler. +Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves. +Once you choose hope, anythings possible. +Talk doesn't cook rice. +In separateness lies the world's great misery, in compassion lies the world's true strength. +The only real valuable thing is intuition. +Accept challenges, so that you may feel the exhilaration of victory. +Until you make peace with who you are, you'll never be content with what you have. +Never apologize for showing feelings. When you do so, you apologize for the truth. +We aim above the mark to hit the mark. +Being angry never solves anything. +Every problem has a gift for you in its hands. +All men who have achieved great things have been great dreamers. +Mediocrity knows nothing higher than itself, but talent instantly recognizes genius. +Where all think alike, no one thinks very much. +Everything that exists is in a manner the seed of that which will be. +Be less curious about people and more curious about ideas. +The heart has eyes which the brain knows nothing of. +Don't be pushed by your problems; be led by your dreams. +I'm not afraid of storms, for Im learning how to sail my ship. +A short saying oft contains much wisdom. +Everything is perfect in the universe — even your desire to improve it. +Be miserable. Or motivate yourself. Whatever has to be done, it's always your choice. +Think how hard physics would be if particles could think. +Only those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly. +Lose an hour in the morning, and you will spend all day looking for it. +Mistakes are always forgivable, if one has the courage to admit them. +Go to your bosom: Knock there, and ask your heart what it doth know. +If you think you can, you can. And if you think you can't, you're right. +Through perseverance many people win success out of what seemed destined to be certain failure. +Happiness mainly comes from our own attitude, rather than from external factors. +If you do not change direction, you may end up where you are heading. +What we see is mainly what we look for. +If you correct your mind, the rest of your life will fall into place. +Stay away from what might have been and look at what will be. +When the solution is simple, God is answering. +Act as if what you do makes a difference. It does. +Successful people ask better questions, and as a result, they get better answers. +There never was a good knife made of bad steel. +Better be ignorant of a matter than half know it. +Passion creates the desire for more and action fuelled by passion creates a future. +Most people are about as happy as they make up their minds to be +Every new day is another chance to change your life. +Do good by stealth, and blush to find it fame. +When you doubt your power, you give power to your doubt. +I always wanted to be somebody, but I should have been more specific. +Opportunity often comes disguised in the form of misfortune, or temporary defeat. +Pick battles big enough to matter, small enough to win. +If we did the things we are capable of, we would astound ourselves. +Don't talk about what you have done or what you are going to do. +The way is not in the sky. The way is in the heart. +Most powerful is he who has himself in his own power. +Those who are free of resentful thoughts surely find peace. +We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing. +It is not so important to know everything as to appreciate what we learn. +Experience can only be gained by doing not by thinking or dreaming. +Always tell the truth. That way, you don't have to remember what you said. +From wonder into wonder existence opens. +An ant on the move does more than a dozing ox +To avoid criticism, do nothing, say nothing, be nothing. +Through perseverance many people win success out of what seemed destined to be certain failure. +He who fears being conquered is sure of defeat. +Life is what happens while you are making other plans. +Those who are free of resentful thoughts surely find peace. +Good luck is another name for tenacity of purpose. +Doing what you love is the cornerstone of having abundance in your life. +Nothing diminishes anxiety faster than action. +Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies. +Kindness is the golden chain by which society is bound together. +You need chaos in your soul to give birth to a dancing star. +I have often regretted my speech, never my silence. +It can't be spring if your heart is filled with past failures. +If you cannot be silent be brilliant and thoughtful. +If you wish to be a writer, write. +No yesterdays are ever wasted for those who give themselves to today. +The truth is always exciting. Speak it, then. Life is dull without it. +There are no failures — just experiences and your reactions to them. +Action is the foundational key to all success. +What is necessary to change a person is to change his awareness of himself. +Silence is a fence around wisdom. +If you spend too much time thinking about a thing, you'll never get it done. +Positive thinking will let you do everything better than negative thinking will. +Think how hard physics would be if particles could think. +We shall never know all the good that a simple smile can do. +Nature takes away any faculty that is not used. +Nothing is so strong as gentleness. Nothing is so gentle as real strength. +Fears are nothing more than a state of mind. +Imagination is not a talent of some men but is the health of every man. +We must embrace pain and burn it as fuel for our journey. +It has never been my object to record my dreams, just to realize them. +Don't wait for people to be friendly. Show them how. +Practice yourself, for heavens sake in little things, and then proceed to greater. +Your outlook on life is a direct reflection on how much you like yourself. +Better to have loved and lost, than to have never loved at all. +A man is not where he lives but where he loves. +From error to error one discovers the entire truth. +I believe that every person is born with talent. +Three things cannot be long hidden: the sun, the moon, and the truth. +Every day may not be good, but there's something good in every day. +Well begun is half done. +In separateness lies the world's great misery, in compassion lies the world's true strength. +Do one thing every day that scares you. +Whatever happens, take responsibility. +A gem cannot be polished without friction, nor a man perfected without trials. +No is easier to do. Yes is easier to say. +Nothing is so strong as gentleness. Nothing is so gentle as real strength. +Life is a process. We are a process. The universe is a process. +Don't wait. The time will never be just right. +Be as you wish to seem. +Knowing is not enough; we must apply! +Science is organized knowledge. Wisdom is organized life. +The path to success is to take massive, determined action. +Freedom is not worth having if it does not connote freedom to err. +Each day can be one of triumph if you keep up your interests. +The place to improve the world is first in one's own heart and head and hands. +The pessimist sees difficulty in every opportunity. The optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty. +Winners have simply formed the habit of doing things losers don't like to do. +Nature is a mutable cloud which is always and never the same. +Life is what you make of it. Always has been, always will be. +If you do not change direction, you may end up where you are heading. +Worry often gives a small thing a big shadow. +I want you to be everything that's you, deep at the center of your being. +We know what we are, but know not what we may be. +Do not turn back when you are just at the goal. +Freedom is what you do with what's been done to you. +Life is so constructed that an event does not, cannot, will not, match the expectation. +Pick battles big enough to matter, small enough to win. +It is never too late to be what you might have been. +The truth which has made us free will in the end make us glad also. +The heart has its reasons which reason knows not of. +To succeed, we must first believe that we can. +He who has imagination without learning has wings but no feet. +Never ignore a gut feeling, but never believe that it's enough. +Everything in life is luck. +A goal without a plan is just a wish. +Our lives are a sum total of the choices we have made. +Watch the little things; a small leak will sink a great ship. +When performance exceeds ambition, the overlap is called success. +Work out your own salvation. Do not depend on others. +Everyone smiles in the same language. +We do what we do because we believe. +Whoso loves, believes the impossible. +Fate is in your hands and no one elses +It isn't where you come from, it's where you're going that counts. +Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one. +Your worst enemy cannot harm you as much as your own unguarded thoughts. +The greatest obstacle to connecting with our joy is resentment. +Freedom is what you do with what's been done to you. +Mountains cannot be surmounted except by winding paths. +I believe that every person is born with talent. +When anger use your energy to do something productive. +Growth itself contains the germ of happiness. +Victory belongs to the most persevering. +We are all something, but none of us are everything. +To want to be what one can be is purpose in life. +Intuition will tell the thinking mind where to look next. +Always be mindful of the kindness and not the faults of others. +No yesterdays are ever wasted for those who give themselves to today. +Do not turn back when you are just at the goal. +Reviewing what you have learned and learning anew, you are fit to be a teacher. +Where all think alike, no one thinks very much. +Action is the foundational key to all success. +If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough. +The truth which has made us free will in the end make us glad also. +Sooner or later, those who win are those who think they can. +He who lives in harmony with himself lives in harmony with the world. +Begin at once to live and count each separate day as a separate life. +He who knows himself is enlightened. +Growth itself contains the germ of happiness. +Kind words do not cost much. Yet they accomplish much. +Think as a wise man but communicate in the language of the people. +He who lives in harmony with himself lives in harmony with the universe. +Kind words will unlock an iron door. +Build a better mousetrap and the world will beat a path to your door. +As our case is new, we must think and act anew. +Fear is a darkroom where negatives develop. +Every action of our lives touches on some chord that will vibrate in eternity. +If you can't feed a hundred people, then feed just one. +When anger use your energy to do something productive. +In three words I can sum up everything Ive learned about life: it goes on. +From error to error one discovers the entire truth. +The day you decide to do it is your lucky day. +Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions. +Don't let today's disappointments cast a shadow on tomorrow's dreams. +Silence is a true friend who never betrays. +As our case is new, we must think and act anew. +Great talent finds happiness in execution. +Keep yourself to the sunshine and you cannot see the shadow. +Who sows virtue reaps honour. +If you don't know where you are going, you will probably end up somewhere else. +Goals are the fuel in the furnace of achievement. +To be wronged is nothing unless you continue to remember it. +You always succeed in producing a result. +Everything you are against weakens you. Everything you are for empowers you. +As we risk ourselves, we grow. Each new experience is a risk. +What we achieve inwardly will change outer reality. +Who we are never changes. Who we think we are does. +If you correct your mind, the rest of your life will fall into place. +Feeling and longing are the motive forces behind all human endeavor and human creations. +The final proof of greatness lies in being able to endure criticism without resentment. +If you do not change direction, you may end up where you are heading. +An obstacle may be either a stepping stone or a stumbling block. +A beautiful thing is never perfect. +A man sees in the world what he carries in his heart. +An invasion of armies can be resisted, but not an idea whose time has come. +Never let lack of money interfere with having fun. +Excellence is not a skill. It is an attitude. +People may doubt what you say, but they will believe what you do. +The most formidable weapon against errors of every kind is reason. +If there is no struggle, there is no progress. +It's important to know that words don't move mountains. Work, exacting work moves mountains. +No one can make you feel inferior without your consent. +When you come to the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on. +Sooner or later, those who win are those who think they can. +Beware of missing chances; otherwise it may be altogether too late some day. +You only lose what you cling to. +Life is a succession of moments. To live each one is to succeed. +Most of the shadows of life are caused by standing in our own sunshine. +Good actions give strength to ourselves and inspire good actions in others. +I know but one freedom and that is the freedom of the mind. +Freedom is not worth having if it does not connote freedom to err. +In the middle of every difficulty lies opportunity. +Trust yourself. You know more than you think you do. +If one does not know to which port is sailing, no wind is favorable. +Wherever you go, go with all your heart. +Every human being is the author of his own health or disease. +When in doubt, tell the truth. +Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will. +To be wronged is nothing unless you continue to remember it. +Good timber does not grow with ease; the stronger the wind, the stronger the trees. +Every great advance in science has issued from a new audacity of the imagination. +The path to success is to take massive, determined action. +The ladder of success is never crowded at the top. +Formula for success: under promise and over deliver. +What you fear is that which requires action to overcome. +Worry often gives a small thing a big shadow. +He who has health has hope, and he who has hope has everything. +All great achievements require time. +The heart has eyes which the brain knows nothing of. +No person is your friend who demands your silence, or denies your right to grow. +A really great talent finds its happiness in execution. +Impossibilities are merely things which we have not yet learned. +Vision without action is a daydream. Action without vision is a nightmare. +Love all, trust a few, do wrong to none. +Invent your world. Surround yourself with people, color, sounds, and work that nourish you. +Today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday. +Without faith, nothing is possible. With it, nothing is impossible. +Your outlook on life is a direct reflection on how much you like yourself. +To be wrong is nothing unless you continue to remember it. +Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions. +Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance you must keep moving. +The Superior Man is aware of Righteousness, the inferior man is aware of advantage. +A rolling stone gathers no moss. +Trust yourself. You know more than you think you do. +He who angers you conquers you. +I never worry about action, but only inaction. +The world makes way for the man who knows where he is going. +Ideals are an imaginative understanding of that which is desirable in that which is possible. +No man is free who is not master of himself. +He who conquers others is strong; He who conquers himself is mighty. +It is only when the mind and character slumber that the dress can be seen. +The truest wisdom is a resolute determination. +Those that know, do. Those that understand, teach. +If we are not fully ourselves, truly in the present moment, we miss everything. +A thing long expected takes the form of the unexpected when at last it comes. +Do good by stealth, and blush to find it fame. +An ant on the move does more than a dozing ox +No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted. +Every man is a volume if you know how to read him. +The difficulties of life are intended to make us better, not bitter. +A good rest is half the work. +We choose our destiny in the way we treat others. +In separateness lies the world's great misery, in compassion lies the world's true strength. +Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding about ourselves. +Better be ignorant of a matter than half know it. +You can't stop the waves, but you can learn to surf. +Quality means doing it right when no one is looking. +The cautious seldom err. +Change your words. Change your world. +Worry often gives a small thing a big shadow. +The pessimist sees difficulty in every opportunity. The optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty. +The superior man is modest in his speech, but exceeds in his actions. +All is flux; nothing stays still. +To get something you never had, you have to do something you never did. +I know but one freedom and that is the freedom of the mind. +Every day may not be good, but there's something good in every day. +A short saying often contains much wisdom. +Great acts are made up of small deeds. +The foot feels the foot when it feels the ground. +The odds of hitting your target go up dramatically when you aim at it. +It is in your moments of decision that your destiny is shaped. +The superior man is satisfied and composed; the mean man is always full of distress. +Open minds lead to open doors. +They can do all because they think they can. +Life is the flower for which love is the honey. +The secret of success is constancy to purpose. +Courage is going from failure to failure without losing enthusiasm. +The secret of success is constancy to purpose. +You have to think anyway, so why not think big? +The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page. +On every thorn, delightful wisdom grows, In every rill a sweet instruction flows. +Smile, breathe and go slowly. +If one does not know to which port is sailing, no wind is favorable. +It is better to understand a little than to misunderstand a lot. +Once you choose hope, anythings possible. +Until you make peace with who you are, you'll never be content with what you have. +To enjoy life, we must touch much of it lightly. +It is only when the mind and character slumber that the dress can be seen. +Nothing strengthens authority so much as silence. +Most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be. +The foolish man seeks happiness in the distance, the wise grows it under his feet. +Your body is precious. It is our vehicle for awakening. Treat it with care. +You can do what's reasonable or you can decide what's possible. +Nothing is so strong as gentleness. Nothing is so gentle as real strength. +Practice yourself, for heavens sake in little things, and then proceed to greater. +Nobody will believe in you unless you believe in yourself. +The one who always loses, is the only person who gets the reward. +Better be ignorant of a matter than half know it. +Character develops itself in the stream of life. +All the flowers of all the tomorrows are in the seeds of today. +Self-complacency is fatal to progress. +Our intention creates our reality. +You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life. +From wonder into wonder existence opens. +Happiness is found in doing, not merely possessing. +They say that time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself. +The future is completely open, and we are writing it moment to moment. +Smile, breathe, and go slowly. +I cannot make my days longer so I strive to make them better. +No is easier to do. Yes is easier to say. +Nothing happens unless first we dream. +I believe that we are fundamentally the same and have the same basic potential. +Successful people ask better questions, and as a result, they get better answers. +Happiness comes when your work and words are of benefit to yourself and others. +There is no way to prosperity, prosperity is the way. +I know but one freedom and that is the freedom of the mind. +Each time we face a fear, we gain strength, courage, and confidence in the doing. +Ask yourself the secret of your success. Listen to your answer, and practice it. +Better to have loved and lost, than to have never loved at all. +From error to error one discovers the entire truth. +No man can succeed in a line of endeavor which he does not like. +Don't frown because you never know who is falling in love with your smile. +Experience is simply the name we give our mistakes. +Better be ignorant of a matter than half know it. +Trust your hunches. They're usually based on facts filed away just below the conscious level. +The place to improve the world is first in one's own heart and head and hands. +Nothing is at last sacred but the integrity of your own mind. +Listen to your intuition. It will tell you everything you need to know. +To bring anything into your life, imagine that it's already there. +Light tomorrow with today! +The personal life deeply lived always expands into truths beyond itself. +Everything is perfect in the universe — even your desire to improve it. +The undertaking of a new action brings new strength. +Whenever something negative happens to you, there is a deep lesson concealed within it. +The most complicated achievements of thought are possible without the assistance of consciousness. +Being angry never solves anything. +Fortune favours the brave. +What is not started today is never finished tomorrow. +I think somehow we learn who we really are and then live with that decision. +Light tomorrow with today! +You can't stop the waves, but you can learn to surf. +Nothing ever goes away until it has taught us what we need to know. +Fate is in your hands and no one elses +The ladder of success is never crowded at the top. +Our kindness may be the most persuasive argument for that which we believe. +It's easier to see the mistakes on someone else's paper. +Chaos is inherent in all compounded things. Strive on with diligence. +Be sure you put your feet in the right place, then stand firm. +Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves. +By believing passionately in something that does not yet exist, we create it. +They must often change, who would be constant in happiness or wisdom. +The heart has eyes which the brain knows nothing of. +The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong. +Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm. +God always takes the simplest way. +We all have problems. The way we solve them is what makes us different. +Real magic in relationships means an absence of judgement of others. +All serious daring starts from within. +They can do all because they think they can. +Act as if what you do makes a difference. It does. +The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step. +The meaning I picked, the one that changed my life: Overcome fear, behold wonder. +Know how to listen, and you will profit even from those who talk badly. +It is never too late to be what you might have been. +He who obtains has little. He who scatters has much. +A man is not old as long as he is seeking something. +Ideas are the beginning points of all fortunes. +The time you think you're missing, misses you too. +No man was ever wise by chance. +You won't skid if you stay in a rut. +We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing. +Give thanks for the rain of life that propels us to reach new horizons. +Patience is the companion of wisdom. +The foolish man seeks happiness in the distance, the wise grows it under his feet. +Our kindness may be the most persuasive argument for that which we believe. +Life is not measured by the breaths you take, but by its breathtaking moments. +Much wisdom often goes with fewer words. +If you love life, don't waste time, for time is what life is made up of. +He who talks more is sooner exhausted. +The greatest way to live with honour in this world is to be what we pretend to be. +Imagination is the living power and prime agent of all human perception. +I'm not afraid of storms, for Im learning how to sail my ship. +The greatest minds are capable of the greatest vices as well as of the greatest virtues. +Victory belongs to the most persevering. +All that we are is the result of what we have thought. The mind is everything. What we think we become. +When your desires are strong enough you will appear to possess superhuman powers to achieve. +What lies behind us and what lies before us are small matters compared to what lies within us. +Be slow of tongue and quick of eye. +It is impossible to feel grateful and depressed in the same moment. +A friend is someone who understands your past, believes in your future, and accepts you just the way you are. +The path to success is to take massive, determined action. +What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us. +Progress always involves risks. You can't steal second base and keep your foot on first. +Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without. +Bad things are not the worst things that can happen to us. Nothing is the worst thing that can happen to us! +Liberty, taking the word in its concrete sense, consists in the ability to choose. +Blaze with the fire that is never extinguished. +There are no failures — just experiences and your reactions to them. +He that never changes his opinions, never corrects his mistakes, and will never be wiser on the morrow than he is today. +On every thorn, delightful wisdom grows, In every rill a sweet instruction flows. +If you would take, you must first give, this is the beginning of intelligence. +A thing well said will be wit in all languages. +Write your plans in pencil and give God the eraser. +No is easier to do. Yes is easier to say. +Always do your best. What you plant now, you will harvest later. +My mama always said: life's like a box of chocolate — you never know what you gonna get. +We are the leaves of one branch, the drops of one sea, the flowers of one garden. +If you light a lamp for somebody, it will also brighten your path. +Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will. +If you come to a fork in the road, take it. +Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it. +Error is discipline through which we advance. +How wonderful that we have met with a paradox. Now we have some hope of making progress. +Be slow of tongue and quick of eye. +He who conquers others is strong; He who conquers himself is mighty. +The best way to pay for a lovely moment is to enjoy it. +If we are facing in the right direction, all we have to do is keep on walking. +It is not only for what we do that we are held responsible, but also for what we do not do. +The only way to tell the truth is to speak with kindness. Only the words of a loving man can be heard. +As the rest of the world is walking out the door, your best friends are the ones walking in. +The greatest minds are capable of the greatest vices as well as of the greatest virtues. +Someone is special only if you tell them. +It's so simple to be wise. Just think of something stupid to say and then don't say it. +A man is great by deeds, not by birth. +No garden is without its weeds. +Nobody can do everything, but everybody can do something. +The world has the habit of making room for the man whose actions show that he knows where he is going. +Quality is never an accident; it is always the result of intelligent effort. +You cannot step twice into the same river, for other waters are continually flowing in. +We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit. +The only difference between your abilities and others is the ability to put yourself in their shoes and actually try. +All great achievements require time. +Never idealize others. They will never live up to your expectations. +Excellence is to do a common thing in an uncommon way. +Edison failed 10,000 times before he made the electric light. Do not be discouraged if you fail a few times. +No matter how hard the past, you can always begin again. +I begin with an idea and then it becomes something else. +May our hearts garden of awakening bloom with hundreds of flowers. +Friends are those rare people who ask how we are and then wait to hear the answer. +It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it. +Every adversity, every failure, every heartache carries with it the seed of an equal or greater benefit. +Whoever is happy will make others happy, too. +The purpose of learning is growth, and our minds, unlike our bodies, can continue growing as we continue to live. +He that respects himself is safe from others; he wears a coat of mail that none can pierce. +The bird of paradise alights only upon the hand that does not grasp. +Difficulties increase the nearer we get to the goal. +Act as if what you do makes a difference. It does. +To accomplish great things, we must dream as well as act. +You can adopt the attitude there is nothing you can do, or you can see the challenge as your call to action. +Your work is to discover your work and then with all your heart to give yourself to it. +There are only two mistakes one can make along the road to truth; not going all the way, and not starting. +It's not what happens to you, but how you react to it that matters. +It is very easy to forgive others their mistakes; it takes more grit to forgive them for having witnessed your own. +Take it easy — but take it. +Don't wait for your feelings to change to take the action. Take the action and your feelings will change. +There is no duty we so underrate as the duty of being happy. By being happy we sow anonymous benefits upon the world. +Whoever is happy will make others happy, too. +Never apologize for showing feeling. When you do so, you apologize for truth. +Where all think alike, no one thinks very much. +What is new in the world? Nothing. What is old in the world? Nothing. Everything has always been and will always be. +Face your deficiencies and acknowledge them; but do not let them master you. Let them teach you patience, sweetness, insight. +I have done my best: that is about all the philosophy of living one needs. +To accomplish great things, we must dream as well as act. +The beginning is always today. +Keep true to the dreams of thy youth. +Just as a candle cannot burn without fire, men cannot live without a spiritual life. +The winds and waves are always on the side of the ablest navigators. +Take rest; a field that has rested gives a bountiful crop. +Truth isn't all about what actually happens but more about how what has happened is interpreted. +Age does not protect you from love. But love, to some extent, protects you from age. +Men are disturbed not by things, but by the view which they take of them. +Let us revere, let us worship, but erect and open-eyed, the highest, not the lowest; the future, not the past! +Every man takes the limits of his own field of vision for the limits of the world. +Doing what you love is the cornerstone of having abundance in your life. +May our hearts garden of awakening bloom with hundreds of flowers. +Do what you can. Want what you have. Be who you are. +There are people who have money and people who are rich. +He that respects himself is safe from others; he wears a coat of mail that none can pierce. +The greatest good you can do for another is not just share your riches, but reveal to them their own. +Why worry about tomorrow, when today is all we have? +Speak when you are angry and you will make the best speech you will ever regret. +To accomplish great things, we must dream as well as act. +Things do not change, we change. +The exercise of an extraordinary gift is the supremest pleasure in life. +Sometimes the most important thing in a whole day is the rest we take between two deep breaths. +The first requisite for success is the ability to apply your physical and mental energies to one problem incessantly without growing weary. +To be wronged is nothing unless you continue to remember it. +We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit. +There is no greater harm than that of time wasted. +Forgiveness is choosing to love. It is the first skill of self-giving love. +To accomplish great things, we must dream as well as act. +It is only with the heart that one can see rightly, what is essential is invisible to the eye. +To ensure good health: eat lightly, breathe deeply, live moderately, cultivate cheerfulness, and maintain an interest in life. +Believe deep down in your heart that you're destined to do great things. +Nothing is so strong as gentleness. Nothing is so gentle as real strength. +If you cannot do great things, do small things in a great way. +Experience is simply the name we give our mistakes. +Most smiles are started by another smile. +Think how hard physics would be if particles could think. +Man is equally incapable of seeing the nothingness from which he emerges and the infinity in which he is engulfed. +Imagination is the highest kite one can fly. +The best way out is always through. +Nature gave us one tongue and two ears so we could hear twice as much as we speak. +Nothing is softer or more flexible than water, yet nothing can resist it. +The only limit to our realization of tomorrow will be our doubts of today. +It is difficult to achieve a spirit of genuine cooperation as long as people remain indifferent to the feelings and happiness of others. +The exercise of an extraordinary gift is the supremest pleasure in life. +To exist is to change, to change is to mature, to mature is to go on creating oneself endlessly. +A man is not where he lives but where he loves. +Experience keeps a dear school, but fools will learn in no other. +The heart has eyes which the brain knows nothing of. +We can only be said to be alive in those moments when our hearts are conscious of our treasures. +Fine words and an insinuating appearance are seldom associated with true virtue +A subtle thought that is in error may yet give rise to fruitful inquiry that can establish truths of great value. +Thousands of candles can be lit from a single, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared. +If you're walking down the right path and you're willing to keep walking, eventually you'll make progress. +Someone remembers, someone cares; your name is whispered in someone's prayers. +It is more important to know where you are going than to get there quickly. Do not mistake activity for achievement. +God always takes the simplest way. +Every artist dips his brush in his own soul, and paints his own nature into his pictures. +When you don't know what you believe, everything becomes an argument. Everything is debatable. But when you stand for something, decisions are obvious. +Those that know, do. Those that understand, teach. +The conditions of conquest are always easy. We have but to toil awhile, endure awhile, believe always, and never turn back. +You can be what you want to be. You have the power within and we will help you always. +He who knows himself is enlightened. +The universe is transformation; our life is what our thoughts make it. +Our kindness may be the most persuasive argument for that which we believe. +We do not quit playing because we grow old, we grow old because we quit playing. +You can't choose up sides on a round world. +The possession of knowledge does not kill the sense of wonder and mystery. There is always more mystery. +What you do not want done to yourself, do not do to others. +With realization of ones own potential and self-confidence in ones ability, one can build a better world. +Fortune favours the brave. +You can adopt the attitude there is nothing you can do, or you can see the challenge as your call to action. +A man is not old as long as he is seeking something. +Happiness depends upon ourselves. +Smile, breathe and go slowly. +A man is not old as long as he is seeking something. +Imagination is the living power and prime agent of all human perception. +The smallest flower is a thought, a life answering to some feature of the Great Whole, of whom they have a persistent intuition. +My advice to you is not to inquire why or whither, but just enjoy your ice cream while its on your plate — that's my philosophy. +Everyone has been made for some particular work, and the desire for that work has been put in every heart. +When you have got an elephant by the hind legs and he is trying to run away, it's best to let him run. +Kindness is the language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see. +Be the chief but never the lord. +Every action of our lives touches on some chord that will vibrate in eternity. +I may not know everything, but everything is not known yet anyway. +The bird of paradise alights only upon the hand that does not grasp. +If we could see the miracle of a single flower clearly, our whole life would change. +You have to take it as it happens, but you should try to make it happen the way you want to take it. +Without this playing with fantasy no creative work has ever yet come to birth. The debt we owe to the play of the imagination is incalculable. +You cannot travel the path until you have become the path itself. +I believe that we are solely responsible for our choices, and we have to accept the consequences of every deed, word, and thought throughout our lifetime. +Keep your eyes on the stars and your feet on the ground. +I am not afraid of tomorrow, for I have seen yesterday and I love today. +Limitations live only in our minds. But if we use our imaginations, our possibilities become limitless. +If you are patient in one moment of anger, you will escape one hundred days of sorrow. +When you lose, don't lose the lesson. +Character develops itself in the stream of life. +If you want a thing done well, do it yourself. +All the great performers I have worked with are fuelled by a personal dream. +It's so simple to be wise. Just think of something stupid to say and then don't say it. +No one has ever become poor by giving. +You can adopt the attitude there is nothing you can do, or you can see the challenge as your call to action. +An obstacle may be either a stepping stone or a stumbling block. +Everything can be taken from a man but ... the last of the human freedoms — to choose ones attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose ones own way. +I think and that is all that I am. +The greatest barrier to success is the fear of failure. +Sunshine is delicious, rain is refreshing, wind braces us up, snow is exhilarating; there is really no such thing as bad weather, only different kinds of good weather. +If you are patient in one moment of anger, you will escape one hundred days of sorrow. +I want you to be everything that's you, deep at the center of your being. +The heart has eyes which the brain knows nothing of. +If you aren't going all the way, why go at all? +Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall. +We choose our destiny in the way we treat others. +There are things so deep and complex that only intuition can reach it in our stage of development as human beings. +If one advances confidently in the direction of his dream, and endeavours to live the life which he had imagines, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours. +The beginning of wisdom is found in doubting; by doubting we come to the question, and by seeking we may come upon the truth. +We can only be said to be alive in those moments when our hearts are conscious of our treasures. +Wicked people are always surprised to find ability in those that are good. +If I could reach up and hold a star for every time you've made me smile, the entire evening sky would be in the palm of my hand. +We are shaped by our thoughts; we become what we think. When the mind is pure, joy follows like a shadow that never leaves. +Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony. +A wise man can learn more from a foolish question than a fool can learn from a wise answer. +You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life. +Kind words do not cost much. Yet they accomplish much. +I destroy my enemies when I make them my friends. +Feeling and longing are the motive forces behind all human endeavor and human creations. +Any of us can achieve virtue, if by virtue we merely mean the avoidance of the vices that do not attract us. +Stay committed to your decisions, but stay flexible in your approach. +The path to success is to take massive, determined action. +One who gains strength by overcoming obstacles possesses the only strength which can overcome adversity. +An optimist is a person who sees a green light everywhere, while the pessimist sees only the red spotlight... The truly wise person is colour-blind. +What separates the winners from the losers is how a person reacts to each new twist of fate. +Ignorant men don't know what good they hold in their hands until they've flung it away. +One does not discover new lands without consenting to lose sight of the shore for a very long time. +All our talents increase in the using, and the every faculty, both good and bad, strengthen by exercise. +Tension is who you think you should be. Relaxation is who you are. +I have just three things to teach: simplicity, patience, compassion. These three are your greatest treasures. +Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all. +Each man has his own vocation; his talent is his call. There is one direction in which all space is open to him. +We do what we do because we believe. +Never bend your head. Always hold it high. Look the world right in the eye. +Just as a flower, which seems beautiful has color but no perfume, so are the fruitless words of a man who speaks them but does them not. +Chance is always powerful. Let your hook be always cast; in the pool where you least expect it, there will be a fish. +Just as a candle cannot burn without fire, men cannot live without a spiritual life. +Sometimes it is better to lose and do the right thing than to win and do the wrong thing. +Silence is the true friend that never betrays. +Imagination disposes of everything; it creates beauty, justice, and happiness, which are everything in this world. +To want to be what one can be is purpose in life. +To change ones life, start immediately, do it flamboyantly, no exceptions. +I have done my best: that is about all the philosophy of living one needs. +As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them. +If you let go a little, you will have a little peace. If you let go a lot, you will have a lot of peace. +Whoever is happy will make others happy, too. +Character develops itself in the stream of life. +Everything can be taken from a man but ... the last of the human freedoms — to choose ones attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose ones own way. +Better than a thousand hollow words, is one word that brings peace. +Man cannot discover new oceans unless he has the courage to lose sight of the shore. +The only real valuable thing is intuition. +The world cares very little about what a man or woman knows; it is what a man or woman is able to do that counts. +The steeper the mountain the harder the climb the better the view from the finishing line +Aim for success, not perfection. Never give up your right to be wrong, because then you will lose the ability to learn new things and move forward with your life. +Wisdom begins in wonder. +I have done my best: that is about all the philosophy of living one needs. +Forgiveness is choosing to love. It is the first skill of self-giving love. +Peace cannot be kept by force. It can only be achieved by understanding. +When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be. +Transformation does not start with some one else changing you; transformation is an inner self reworking of what you are now to what you will be. +It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop. +Time is not a measure the length of a day or month or year but more a measure of what you have accomplished. +Wherever a man may happen to turn, whatever a man may undertake, he will always end up by returning to the path which nature has marked out for him. +No person is your friend who demands your silence, or denies your right to grow. +Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned. +Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without. +When there is no enemy within, the enemies outside cannot hurt you. +He who controls others may be powerful, but he who has mastered himself is mightier still. +You may say Im a dreamer, but Im not the only one, I hope someday you will join us, and the world will live as one. +There is no scarcity of opportunity to make a living at what you love; theres only scarcity of resolve to make it happen. +Neither a lofty degree of intelligence nor imagination nor both together go to the making of genius. Love, love, love, that is the soul of genius. +The happy and efficient people in this world are those who accept trouble as a normal detail of human life and resolve to capitalize it when it comes along. +Every adversity, every failure, every heartache carries with it the seed of an equal or greater benefit. +Whatever we expect with confidence becomes our own self-fulfilling prophecy. +The final proof of greatness lies in being able to endure criticism without resentment. +As an organizer I start from where the world is, as it is, not as I would like it to be. +The biggest adventure you can ever take is to live the life of your dreams. +You are the only person on Earth who can use your ability. +Don't let what you can't do stop you from doing what you can do. +Complaining doesn't change a thing only taking action does. +Life a culmination of the past, an awareness of the present, an indication of the future beyond knowledge, the quality that gives a touch of divinity to matter. +Each man has his own vocation; his talent is his call. There is one direction in which all space is open to him. +If you can't feed a hundred people, then feed just one. +Everything that exists is in a manner the seed of that which will be. +Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things. +With every experience, you alone are painting your own canvas, thought by thought, choice by choice. +Think how hard physics would be if particles could think. +Let the beauty of what you love be what you do. +The world turns aside to let any man pass who knows where he is going. +I can't imagine a person becoming a success who doesn't give this game of life everything hes got. +Beauty is not in the face; beauty is a light in the heart. +A day of worry is more exhausting than a day of work. +I never think of the future. It comes soon enough. +It isn't where you come from, it's where you're going that counts. +He who controls others may be powerful, but he who has mastered himself is mightier still. +Truth, and goodness, and beauty are but different faces of the same all. +All I can say about life is, Oh God, enjoy it! +Trust your hunches. They're usually based on facts filed away just below the conscious level. +The day is already blessed, find peace within it. +Tension is who you think you should be. Relaxation is who you are. +To be great is to be misunderstood. +Love all, trust a few, do wrong to none. +Consider that not only do negative thoughts and emotions destroy our experience of peace, they also undermine our health. +We all live with the objective of being happy; our lives are all different and yet the same. +Trust only movement. Life happens at the level of events, not of words. Trust movement. +Never, never, never give up. +Think as a wise man but communicate in the language of the people. +Parents can only give good advice or put them on the right paths, but the final forming of a persons character lies in their own hands. +I prefer to be true to myself, even at the hazard of incurring the ridicule of others, rather than to be false, and to incur my own abhorrence. +The most decisive actions of our life... are most often unconsidered actions. +As we grow as unique persons, we learn to respect the uniqueness of others. +Failure doesn't mean you are a failure it just means you haven't succeeded yet. +Conflict is the gadfly of thought. It stirs us to observation and memory. It instigates to invention. It shocks us out of sheeplike passivity, and sets us at noting and contriving. +Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful. +No pessimist ever discovered the secrets of the stars, or sailed to an uncharted land, or opened a new heaven to the human spirit. +Those who are blessed with the most talent don't necessarily outperform everyone else. It's the people with follow-through who excel. +They can do all because they think they can. +It isn't where you come from, it's where you're going that counts. +All that we are is the result of what we have thought. The mind is everything. What we think we become. +In all chaos there is a cosmos, in all disorder a secret order. +It is the quality of our work which will please God, not the quantity. +Try and fail, but don't fail to try. +The heart has its reasons which reason knows not of. +The happy and efficient people in this world are those who accept trouble as a normal detail of human life and resolve to capitalize it when it comes along. +I am not bothered by the fact that I am unknown. I am bothered when I do not know others. +First say to yourself what you would be; and then do what you have to do. +The ladder of success is never crowded at the top. +You can do what's reasonable or you can decide what's possible. +Nothing diminishes anxiety faster than action. +Don't be afraid to go out on a limb. That's where the fruit is. +Mistakes are always forgivable, if one has the courage to admit them. +I allow my intuition to lead my path. +Today is the tomorrow we worried about yesterday. +Through pride we are ever deceiving ourselves. But deep down below the surface of the average conscience a still, small voice says to us, Something is out of tune. +What is necessary to change a person is to change his awareness of himself. +Keep silence for the most part, and speak only when you must, and then briefly. +Fear not for the future, weep not for the past. +The mind is everything. What you think you become. +Try not to become a man of success, but rather try to become a man of value. +Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful. +We are Divine enough to ask and we are important enough to receive. +If you kick a stone in anger, you'll hurt your own foot. +Put your future in good hands — your own. +The wise man does not lay up his own treasures. The more he gives to others, the more he has for his own. +All men who have achieved great things have been great dreamers. +To live a pure unselfish life, one must count nothing as ones own in the midst of abundance. +Face your deficiencies and acknowledge them; but do not let them master you. Let them teach you patience, sweetness, insight. +Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed people can change the world. Indeed. It is the only thing that ever has. +To see things in the seed, that is genius. +The road leading to a goal does not separate you from the destination; it is essentially a part of it. +Mediocrity knows nothing higher than itself, but talent instantly recognizes genius. +The happiness that is genuinely satisfying is accompanied by the fullest exercise of our faculties and the fullest realization of the world in which we live. +Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so. +Giving up doesn't always mean you are weak. Sometimes it means that you are strong enough to let go. +The greatest antidote to insecurity and the sense of fear is compassion — it brings one back to the basis of one's inner strength +The truth of the matter is that you always know the right thing to do. The hard part is doing it. +If we could learn to like ourselves, even a little, maybe our cruelties and angers might melt away. +No yesterdays are ever wasted for those who give themselves to today. +It is the greatest of all mistakes to do nothing because you can only do little — do what you can. +I may not know everything, but everything is not known yet anyway. +He who obtains has little. He who scatters has much. +Do not give your attention to what others do or fail to do; give it to what you do or fail to do. +Chaos is inherent in all compounded things. Strive on with diligence. +Deep listening is miraculous for both listener and speaker.When someone receives us with open-hearted, non-judging, intensely interested listening, our spirits expand. +A true friend is the most precious of all possessions and the one we take the least thought about acquiring. +Make the most of yourself, for that is all there is of you. +History will be kind to me for I intend to write it. +As the rest of the world is walking out the door, your best friends are the ones walking in. +These days people seek knowledge, not wisdom. Knowledge is of the past, wisdom is of the future. +The person born with a talent they are meant to use will find their greatest happiness in using it. +Love is never lost. If not reciprocated, it will flow back and soften and purify the heart. +In all chaos there is a cosmos, in all disorder a secret order. +The universe is made of stories, not atoms. +It is on our failures that we base a new and different and better success. +Success means having the courage, the determination, and the will to become the person you believe you were meant to be. +Ask yourself the secret of your success. Listen to your answer, and practice it. +All our talents increase in the using, and the every faculty, both good and bad, strengthen by exercise. +The best way to pay for a lovely moment is to enjoy it. +Respect should be earned by actions, and not acquired by years. +I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand. +We cannot change our memories, but we can change their meaning and the power they have over us. +Always tell the truth. That way, you don't have to remember what you said. +Do something wonderful, people may imitate it. +Do you want to know who you are? Don't ask. Act! Action will delineate and define you. +You can do it if you believe you can! +The most dangerous way to lose time is not to spend it having fun, but to spend it doing fake work. When you spend time having fun, you know you're being self-indulgent. +Every adversity, every failure, every heartache carries with it the seed of an equal or greater benefit. +The trouble with most people is that they think with their hopes or fears or wishes rather than with their minds. +We shall never know all the good that a simple smile can do. +A lot of people give up just before theyre about to make it. You know you never know when that next obstacle is going to be the last one. +Sometimes the biggest act of courage is a small one. +He who experiences the unity of life sees his own Self in all beings, and all beings in his own Self, and looks on everything with an impartial eye. +Let the beauty of what you love be what you do. +The moment one gives close attention to anything, it becomes a mysterious, awesome, indescribably magnificent world in itself. +Strong beliefs win strong men, and then make them stronger. +No man is free who is not master of himself. +Follow effective action with quiet reflection. From the quiet reflection will come even more effective action. +People are not lazy. They simply have impotent goals — that is, goals that do not inspire them. +You do not become good by trying to be good, but by finding the goodness that is already within you. +Winners have simply formed the habit of doing things losers don't like to do. +Waste no more time arguing about what a good man should be. Be one. +A bend in the road is not the end of the road...unless you fail to make the turn. +Don't be afraid to go out on a limb. That's where the fruit is. +Every adversity, every failure, every heartache carries with it the seed of an equal or greater benefit. +Keep true to the dreams of thy youth. +Great talent finds happiness in execution. +Happiness often sneaks in through a door you didn't know you left open. +Decision is a risk rooted in the courage of being free. +There are basically two types of people. People who accomplish things, and people who claim to have accomplished things. The first group is less crowded. +The things that one most wants to do are the things that are probably most worth doing. +Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any one thing. +Think as a wise man but communicate in the language of the people. +He who obtains has little. He who scatters has much. +On every thorn, delightful wisdom grows, In every rill a sweet instruction flows. +Life is like a sewer. What you get out of it depends on what you put into it. +Setting an example is not the main means of influencing another, it is the only means. +I want you to be everything that's you, deep at the center of your being. +It has never been my object to record my dreams, just to realize them. +Take things as they are. Punch when you have to punch. Kick when you have to kick. +What is necessary to change a person is to change his awareness of himself. +To forgive is to set a prisoner free and realize that prisoner was you. +There is no greater harm than that of time wasted. +Happiness mainly comes from our own attitude, rather than from external factors. +Experience is simply the name we give our mistakes. +To study and not think is a waste. To think and not study is dangerous. +Life is not measured by the breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath. +Chaos and Order are not enemies, only opposites. +You must welcome change as the rule but not as your ruler. +Progress always involves risks. You can't steal second base and keep your foot on first. +Perseverance is a great element of success. If you only knock long enough and loud enough at the gate, you are sure to wake up somebody. +The secret of success is constancy to purpose. +Only through our connectedness to others can we really know and enhance the self. And only through working on the self can we begin to enhance our connectedness to others. +It is only with the heart that one can see rightly, what is essential is invisible to the eye. +Rainbows apologize for angry skies. +Fear grows in darkness; if you think theres a bogeyman around, turn on the light. +He who deliberates fully before taking a step will spend his entire life on one leg. +Never miss an opportunity to make others happy, even if you have to leave them alone in order to do it. +We are Divine enough to ask and we are important enough to receive. +Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible. +A life spent making mistakes is not only more honourable but more useful than a life spent in doing nothing. +Peace begins with a smile. +Every sixty seconds you spend angry, upset or mad, is a full minute of happiness you’ll never get back. +Be your own hero, it's cheaper than a movie ticket. +Kind words will unlock an iron door. +Turn your face toward the sun and the shadows will fall behind you. +Much wisdom often goes with fewer words. +Great talent finds happiness in execution. +Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail. +Better to have loved and lost, than to have never loved at all. +The things that one most wants to do are the things that are probably most worth doing. +Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned. +If we have a positive mental attitude, then even when surrounded by hostility, we shall not lack inner peace. +Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen. +Go to your bosom: Knock there, and ask your heart what it doth know. +Iron rusts from disuse; water loses its purity from stagnation... even so does inaction sap the vigour of the mind. +Things turn out best for those who make the best of the way things turn out. +As the rest of the world is walking out the door, your best friends are the ones walking in. +Stay away from what might have been and look at what will be. +Happiness is a perfume you cannot pour on others without getting a few drops on yourself. +There is no duty we so underrate as the duty of being happy. By being happy we sow anonymous benefits upon the world. +No man can succeed in a line of endeavor which he does not like. +Don't wait for people to be friendly. Show them how. +Tension is who you think you should be. Relaxation is who you are. +Can you imagine what I would do if I could do all I can? +Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up. +Take time to deliberate, but when the time for action has arrived, stop thinking and go in. +Were here for a reason. I believe a bit of the reason is to throw little torches out to lead people through the dark. +Life is a gift, and it offers us the privilege, opportunity, and responsibility to give something back by becoming more +To effectively communicate, we must realize that we are all different in the way we perceive the world and use this understanding as a guide to our communication with others. +Once you choose hope, anythings possible. +Ability will never catch up with the demand for it. +He who experiences the unity of life sees his own Self in all beings, and all beings in his own Self, and looks on everything with an impartial eye. +Until you value yourself, you won't value your time. Until you value your time, you won't do anything with it. +Yeah we all shine on, like the moon, and the stars, and the sun. +If one does not know to which port is sailing, no wind is favorable. +Never say there is nothing beautiful in the world any more. There is always something to make you wonder in the shape of a tree, the trembling of a leaf. +Intuition is the very force or activity of the soul in its experience through whatever has been the experience of the soul itself. +It is impossible to feel grateful and depressed in the same moment. +Setting goals is the first step in turning the invisible into the visible. +The day always looks brighter from behind a smile. +Absence makes the heart grow fonder. +Follow your instincts. That is where true wisdom manifests itself. +We cannot change our memories, but we can change their meaning and the power they have over us. +When you dance, your purpose is not to get to a certain place on the floor. It's to enjoy each step along the way. +Without passion man is a mere latent force and possibility, like the flint which awaits the shock of the iron before it can give forth its spark. +The longer we dwell on our misfortunes, the greater is their power to harm us. +Courage is not the absence of fear, but simply moving on with dignity despite that fear. +Life a culmination of the past, an awareness of the present, an indication of the future beyond knowledge, the quality that gives a touch of divinity to matter. +A prudent question is one half of wisdom. +All truths are easy to understand once they are discovered; the point is to discover them. +First say to yourself what you would be; and then do what you have to do. +Life is a learning experience, only if you learn. +Don't let what you can't do stop you from doing what you can do. +Four steps to achievement: Plan purposefully. Prepare prayerfully. Proceed positively. Pursue persistently. +Never miss an opportunity to make others happy, even if you have to leave them alone in order to do it. +Joy is the best makeup. +The smallest act of kindness is worth more than the grandest intention. +The mind unlearns with difficulty what it has long learned. +We know from science that nothing in the universe exists as an isolated or independent entity. +Every great advance in science has issued from a new audacity of the imagination. +Sunshine is delicious, rain is refreshing, wind braces us up, snow is exhilarating; there is really no such thing as bad weather, only different kinds of good weather. +Everything in the universe goes by indirection. There are no straight lines. +What do we live for, if it is not to make life less difficult for each other? +When we feel love and kindness toward others, it not only makes others feel loved and cared for, but it helps us also to develop inner happiness and peace. +In all chaos there is a cosmos, in all disorder a secret order. +If you wish to be a writer, write. +Everything you are against weakens you. Everything you are for empowers you. +All difficult things have their origin in that which is easy, and great things in that which is small. +It can't be spring if your heart is filled with past failures. +We may encounter many defeats but we must not be defeated. +Whenever something negative happens to you, there is a deep lesson concealed within it. +If the single man plant himself indomitably on his instincts, and there abide, the huge world will come round to him. +Arriving at one point is the starting point to another. +Adversity isn't set against you to fail; adversity is a way to build your character so that you can succeed over and over again through perseverance. +Every person, all the events of your life are there because you have drawn them there. What you choose to do with them is up to you. +Each day provides its own gifts. +Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere. +A man of ability and the desire to accomplish something can do anything. +Our deepest wishes are whispers of our authentic selves. We must learn to respect them. We must learn to listen. +Arriving at one point is the starting point to another. +I am not bothered by the fact that I am unknown. I am bothered when I do not know others. +The mind unlearns with difficulty what it has long learned. +Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood. Now is the time to understand more, so that we may fear less. +Every person, all the events of your life are there because you have drawn them there. What you choose to do with them is up to you. +All perceiving is also thinking, all reasoning is also intuition, all observation is also invention. +Inspiration exists, but it has to find us working. +Sometimes the most important thing in a whole day is the rest we take between two deep breaths. +Only when we are no longer afraid do we begin to live. +If we are not fully ourselves, truly in the present moment, we miss everything. +We must not allow ourselves to become like the system we oppose. +He who lives in harmony with himself lives in harmony with the universe. +Chaos and Order are not enemies, only opposites. +Never let lack of money interfere with having fun. +Begin at once to live and count each separate day as a separate life. +The world is but a canvas to the imagination. +Difficulties are meant to rouse, not discourage. The human spirit is to grow strong by conflict. +We choose our destiny in the way we treat others. +Don't be afraid to go out on a limb. That's where the fruit is. +A life spent making mistakes is not only more honourable but more useful than a life spent in doing nothing. +We do what we do because we believe. +The most dangerous way to lose time is not to spend it having fun, but to spend it doing fake work. When you spend time having fun, you know you're being self-indulgent. +Never ignore a gut feeling, but never believe that it's enough. +All I can say about life is, Oh God, enjoy it! +Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood. Now is the time to understand more, so that we may fear less. +Ignorant men don't know what good they hold in their hands until they've flung it away. +The world has the habit of making room for the man whose actions show that he knows where he is going. +You are special, you are unique, you are the best! +If you love someone, set them free. If they come back they're yours; if they don't they never were. +Accept the things to which fate binds you, and love the people with whom fate brings you together, but do so with all your heart. +Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding about ourselves. +Thats the risk you take if you change: that people you've been involved with won't like the new you. But other people who do will come along. +Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment. +To be happy is to be able to become aware of oneself without fright. +Strength to carry on despite the odds means you have faith in your own abilities and know how. +Make the most of yourself for that is all there is of you. +Men of perverse opinion do not know the excellence of what is in their hands, till some one dash it from them. +No matter how hard the past, you can always begin again. +Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions. +Be gentle first with yourself if you wish to be gentle with others. +A man who doesn't trust himself can never really trust anyone else. +The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step. +To be wronged is nothing unless you continue to remember it. +With realization of ones own potential and self-confidence in ones ability, one can build a better world. +Can miles truly separate you from friends... If you want to be with someone you love, aren't you already there? +Someone is special only if you tell them. +Joy is the best makeup. +We make our own fortunes and we call them fate. +I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand. +Myths which are believed in tend to become true. +Leaders aren't born they are made. And they are made just like anything else, through hard work. And that's the price well have to pay to achieve that goal, or any goal. +It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are. +Always seek out the seed of triumph in every adversity. +At the center of your being you have the answer; you know who you are and you know what you want. +Rather than wishing for change, you first must be prepared to change. +Always be smarter than the people who hire you. +I do not believe in a fate that falls on men however they act; but I do believe in a fate that falls on them unless they act. +Everything can be taken from a man but ... the last of the human freedoms — to choose ones attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose ones own way. +It's important to know that words don't move mountains. Work, exacting work moves mountains. +Fame usually comes to those who are thinking about something else. +With realization of ones own potential and self-confidence in ones ability, one can build a better world. +I may not know everything, but everything is not known yet anyway. +Know how to listen, and you will profit even from those who talk badly. +First comes thought; then organization of that thought, into ideas and plans; then transformation of those plans into reality. The beginning, as you will observe, is in your imagination. +Happiness cannot be travelled to, owned, earned, worn or consumed. Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace and gratitude. +It is never too late to be what you might have been. +Every gift from a friend is a wish for your happiness. +Only do what your heart tells you. +To get something you never had, you have to do something you never did. +Make the most of yourself, for that is all there is of you. +The superior man acts before he speaks, and afterwards speaks according to his action. +A single conversation across the table with a wise person is worth a months study of books. +All that is necessary is to accept the impossible, do without the indispensable, and bear the intolerable. +Turn your face toward the sun and the shadows will fall behind you. +The beginning of wisdom is found in doubting; by doubting we come to the question, and by seeking we may come upon the truth. +One who asks a question is a fool for five minutes; one who does not ask a question remains a fool forever. +Let us revere, let us worship, but erect and open-eyed, the highest, not the lowest; the future, not the past! +The difference between what we do and what we are capable of doing would suffice to solve most of the worlds problems. +You can never cross the ocean unless you have the courage to lose sight of the shore. +Everyone can taste success when the going is easy, but few know how to taste victory when times get tough. +Myths which are believed in tend to become true. +What we think, we become. +The beginning of knowledge is the discovery of something we do not understand. +Peace begins with a smile. +Work for something because it is good, not just because it stands a chance to succeed. +Real magic in relationships means an absence of judgement of others. +The world cares very little about what a man or woman knows; it is what a man or woman is able to do that counts. +Every man takes the limits of his own field of vision for the limits of the world. +Who sows virtue reaps honour. +Knowledge rests not upon truth alone, but upon error also. +Make it a rule of life never to regret and never to look back. Regret is an appalling waste of energy; you can't build on it; it's only for wallowing in. +Be what you are. This is the first step toward becoming better than you are. +Minds are like parachutes. They only function when open. +A man is not old as long as he is seeking something. +Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere. +Faith in oneself is the best and safest course. +In the sky, there is no distinction of east and west; people create distinctions out of their own minds and then believe them to be true. +The Creator has not given you a longing to do that which you have no ability to do. +Never regret. If it's good, it's wonderful. If it's bad, it's experience. +No pessimist ever discovered the secrets of the stars, or sailed to an uncharted land, or opened a new heaven to the human spirit. +Our deepest wishes are whispers of our authentic selves. We must learn to respect them. We must learn to listen. +When deeds and words are in accord, the whole world is transformed. +Kind words can be short and easy to speak but their echoes are truly endless. +Take heed: you do not find what you do not seek. +Yeah we all shine on, like the moon, and the stars, and the sun. +No man was ever wise by chance. +What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us. +Better to have loved and lost, than to have never loved at all. +For everything that lives is holy, life delights in life. +Intuition is the supra-logic that cuts out all the routine processes of thought and leaps straight from the problem to the answer. +The most important thing is transforming our minds, for a new way of thinking, a new outlook: we should strive to develop a new inner world. +Today is the tomorrow we worried about yesterday. +Promises are the uniquely human way of ordering the future, making it predictable and reliable to the extent that this is humanly possible. +Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without. +Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will. +Our passion is our strength. +By nature man hates change; seldom will he quit his old home till it has actually fallen around his ears. +Wisdom is the supreme part of happiness. +Happiness often sneaks in through a door you didn't know you left open. +With the realization of ones own potential and self-confidence in ones ability, one can build a better world. +A fine quotation is a diamond on the finger of a man of wit, and a pebble in the hand of a fool. +Man is equally incapable of seeing the nothingness from which he emerges and the infinity in which he is engulfed. +Take heed: you do not find what you do not seek. +Fear of failure is one attitude that will keep you at the same point in your life. +In rivers, the water that you touch is the last of what has passed and the first of that which comes; so with present time. +I do not believe in a fate that falls on men however they act; but I do believe in a fate that falls on them unless they act. +Spring is a time for rebirth and the fulfilment of new life. +Being angry never solves anything. +My mama always said: life's like a box of chocolate — you never know what you gonna get. +There is nothing happens to any person but what was in his power to go through with. +It can't be spring if your heart is filled with past failures. +From little acorns mighty oaks do grow. +When deeds speak, words are nothing. +Peace cannot be kept by force. It can only be achieved by understanding. +Nature is a mutable cloud which is always and never the same. +Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies. +There are two ways to slide easily through life: to believe everything or to doubt everything; both ways save us from thinking. +Society develops wit, but its contemplation alone forms genius. +The conditions of conquest are always easy. We have but to toil awhile, endure awhile, believe always, and never turn back. +Try not to become a man of success, but rather try to become a man of value. +It's so simple to be wise. Just think of something stupid to say and then don't say it. +Life is what happens while you are making other plans. +Be your own hero, it's cheaper than a movie ticket. +One who gains strength by overcoming obstacles possesses the only strength which can overcome adversity. +The art of progress is to preserve order amid change, and to preserve change amid order. +The key to transforming our hearts and minds is to have an understanding of how our thoughts and emotions work. +Things turn out best for those who make the best of the way things turn out. +We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give. +Can you imagine what I would do if I could do all I can? +The two most powerful warriors are patience and time. +If you break your neck, if you have nothing to eat, if your house is on fire, then you got a problem. Everything else is inconvenience. +The smallest act of kindness is worth more than the grandest intention. +Make the best use of what is in your power, and take the rest as it happens. +If you want to study yourself — look into the hearts of other people. If you want to study other people — look into your own heart. +Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all. +Your destiny isn't just fate; it is how you use your own developed abilities to get what you want. +Nobody will believe in you unless you believe in yourself. +You can tell whether a man is clever by his answers. You can tell whether a man is wise by his questions. +Open minds lead to open doors. +You are special, you are unique, you are the best! +The most important thing is transforming our minds, for a new way of thinking, a new outlook: we should strive to develop a new inner world. +No matter how carefully you plan your goals they will never be more that pipe dreams unless you pursue them with gusto. +Real magic in relationships means an absence of judgement of others. +Imagination disposes of everything; it creates beauty, justice, and happiness, which are everything in this world. +Maxim for life: You get treated in life the way you teach people to treat you. +With every experience, you alone are painting your own canvas, thought by thought, choice by choice. +Make the most of yourself for that is all there is of you. +Happiness is found in doing, not merely possessing. +The first duty of a human being is to assume the right functional relationship to society — more briefly, to find your real job, and do it. +The world is but a canvas to the imagination. +You'll see it when you believe it. +We are the leaves of one branch, the drops of one sea, the flowers of one garden. +We make our own fortunes and we call them fate. +If you spend your whole life waiting for the storm, you'll never enjoy the sunshine. +It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it. +A prudent question is one half of wisdom. +Experience keeps a dear school, but fools will learn in no other. +The poor man is not he who is without a cent, but he who is without a dream. +The key to growth is the introduction of higher dimensions of consciousness into our awareness. +Thought is the blossom; language the bud; action the fruit behind it. +True happiness means forging a strong spirit that is undefeated, no matter how trying our circumstances. +Your work is to discover your world and then with all your heart give yourself to it. +There is nothing so useless as doing efficiently that which should not be done at all. +Neither a lofty degree of intelligence nor imagination nor both together go to the making of genius. Love, love, love, that is the soul of genius. +We know from science that nothing in the universe exists as an isolated or independent entity. +First comes thought; then organization of that thought, into ideas and plans; then transformation of those plans into reality. The beginning, as you will observe, is in your imagination. +A rolling stone gathers no moss. +Every problem has a gift for you in its hands. +Life's challenges are not supposed to paralyse you, they're supposed to help you discover who you are. +Everything in the universe goes by indirection. There are no straight lines. +To be wronged is nothing unless you continue to remember it. +Peace is not something you wish for. It's something you make, something you do, something you are, and something you give away. +If a man does his best, what else is there? +I have been impressed with the urgency of doing. Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Being willing is not enough; we must do. +If you love someone, set them free. If they come back they're yours; if they don't they never were. +One of the advantages of being disorderly is that one is constantly making exciting discoveries. +Take heed: you do not find what you do not seek. +If you can't feed a hundred people, then feed just one. +Wisdom is knowing what to do next; Skill is knowing how ot do it, and Virtue is doing it. +Although there may be tragedy in your life, there's always a possibility to triumph. It doesn't matter who you are, where you come from. The ability to triumph begins with you. Always. +To live a pure unselfish life, one must count nothing as ones own in the midst of abundance. +All the world is a stage, And all the men and women merely players.They have their exits and entrances; Each man in his time plays many parts. +As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others. +Without leaps of imagination, or dreaming, we lose the excitement of possibilities. Dreaming, after all, is a form of planning. +It isn't where you come from, it's where you're going that counts. +Silence is a source of great strength. +To be tested is good. The challenged life may be the best therapist. +Can you imagine what I would do if I could do all I can? +I have been impressed with the urgency of doing. Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Being willing is not enough; we must do. +Opportunity often comes disguised in the form of misfortune, or temporary defeat. +To bring anything into your life, imagine that it's already there. +The most successful people are those who are good at plan B. +Criticism is something you can easily avoid by saying nothing, doing nothing, and being nothing. +Our virtues and our failings are inseparable, like force and matter. When they separate, man is no more. +Mountains cannot be surmounted except by winding paths. +Courage is not about taking risks unknowingly but putting your own being in front of challenges that others may not be able to. +Only do what your heart tells you. +Smile, breathe, and go slowly. +To fly as fast as thought, you must begin by knowing that you have already arrived. +To speak gratitude is courteous and pleasant, to enact gratitude is generous and noble, but to live gratitude is to touch Heaven. +Obstacles are those things you see when you take your eyes off the goal. +The greatest danger for most of us is not that our aim is too high and we miss it, but that it is too low and we reach it. +Iron rusts from disuse; water loses its purity from stagnation... even so does inaction sap the vigour of the mind. +In rivers, the water that you touch is the last of what has passed and the first of that which comes; so with present time. +Kind words do not cost much. Yet they accomplish much. +Great ideas often receive violent opposition from mediocre minds. +The winds and waves are always on the side of the ablest navigators. +We can change our lives. We can do, have, and be exactly what we wish. +Courage is not the absence of fear, but simply moving on with dignity despite that fear. +Never do things others can do and will do, if there are things others cannot do or will not do. +The poor man is not he who is without a cent, but he who is without a dream. +Only those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly. +Being in humaneness is good. If we select other goodness and thus are far apart from humaneness, how can we be the wise? +You are the only person on earth who can use your ability. +If you spend your whole life waiting for the storm, you'll never enjoy the sunshine. +When you lose, don't lose the lesson. +Kindness is the greatest wisdom. +We may encounter many defeats but we must not be defeated. +Every day may not be good, but there's something good in every day. +A stumble may prevent a fall. +He that respects himself is safe from others; he wears a coat of mail that none can pierce. +Nothing is so strong as gentleness. Nothing is so gentle as real strength. +The pain passes, but the beauty remains. +One secret of success in life is for a man to be ready for his opportunity when it comes. +Meaning is not what you start with but what you end up with. +The foolish man seeks happiness in the distance, the wise grows it under his feet. +Mind is everything: muscle, pieces of rubber. All that I am, I am because of my mind. +What is new in the world? Nothing. What is old in the world? Nothing. Everything has always been and will always be. +You can't trust without risk but neither can you live in a cocoon. +Take things as they are. Punch when you have to punch. Kick when you have to kick. +To know oneself is to study oneself in action with another person. +No man can succeed in a line of endeavor which he does not like. +If one is lucky, a solitary fantasy can totally transform one million realities. +Look forward to spring as a time when you can start to see what nature has to offer once again. +Neither genius, fame, nor love show the greatness of the soul. Only kindness can do that. +In the end we retain from our studies only that which we practically apply. +Genuine love should first be directed at oneself – if we do not love ourselves, how can we love others? +The least of things with a meaning is worth more in life than the greatest of things without it. +The noblest worship is to make yourself as good and as just as you can. +Though no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from not and make a brand new ending. +Conflict is the gadfly of thought. It stirs us to observation and memory. It instigates to invention. It shocks us out of sheeplike passivity, and sets us at noting and contriving. +A dream is your creative vision for your life in the future. You must break out of your current comfort zone and become comfortable with the unfamiliar and the unknown. +A fine quotation is a diamond on the finger of a man of wit, and a pebble in the hand of a fool. +Let us revere, let us worship, but erect and open-eyed, the highest, not the lowest; the future, not the past! +Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. +Don't think of it as failure. Think of it as time-released success. +Many people think of prosperity that concerns money only to forget that true prosperity is of the mind. +Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself, in your way of thinking. +The least movement is of importance to all nature. The entire ocean is affected by a pebble. +A lot of times people look at the negative side of what they feel they can't do. I always look on the positive side of what I can do. +We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit. +Know how to listen, and you will profit even from those who talk badly. +You can't trust without risk but neither can you live in a cocoon. +The doors we open and close each day decide the lives we live. +You cannot travel the path until you have become the path itself. +I walk slowly, but I never walk backward. +As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them. +If you're walking down the right path and you're willing to keep walking, eventually you'll make progress. +The least movement is of importance to all nature. The entire ocean is affected by a pebble. +Where there is great love, there are always miracles. +You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life. +Keep silence for the most part, and speak only when you must, and then briefly. +Divide each difficulty into as many parts as is feasible and necessary to resolve it. +Courage is not about taking risks unknowingly but putting your own being in front of challenges that others may not be able to. +Change your thoughts, change your life! +The best place to find a helping hand is at the end of your own arm. +The purpose of learning is growth, and our minds, unlike our bodies, can continue growing as we continue to live. +Every human being is the author of his own health or disease. +It is better to understand a little than to misunderstand a lot. +We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit. +Knowing is not enough; we must apply! +We know the truth, not only by the reason, but by the heart. +We choose our joys and sorrows long before we experience them. +Before you can inspire with emotion, you must be swamped with it yourself. Before you can move their tears, your own must flow. To convince them, you must yourself believe. +Anybody can make history. Only a great man can write it. +Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony. +If I know what love is, it is because of you. +The best teacher is experience learned from failures. +Allow the world to live as it chooses, and allow yourself to live as you choose. +Consider how hard it is to change yourself and you'll understand what little chance you have in trying to change others. +The years teach much which the days never know. +A lot of people give up just before theyre about to make it. You know you never know when that next obstacle is going to be the last one. +Self-trust is the first secret of success. +The harder you fall, the higher you bounce. +Notice that the stiffest tree is most easily cracked, while the bamboo or willow survives by bending with the wind. +The foolish man seeks happiness in the distance, the wise grows it under his feet. +Myths which are believed in tend to become true. +Nature takes away any faculty that is not used. +Focusing your life solely on making a buck shows a poverty of ambition. It asks too little of yourself. And it will leave you unfulfilled. +Patience is the companion of wisdom. +The worst bankrupt in the world is the person who has lost his enthusiasm. +Let me tell you the secret that has led me to my goal: my strength lies solely in my tenacity. +Meaning is not what you start with but what you end up with. +While we try to teach our children all about life, our children teach us what life is all about. +Compassion and happiness are not a sign of weakness but a sign of strength. +It is common sense to take a method and try it. If it fails, admit it frankly and try another. But above all, try something. +Opportunity often comes disguised in the form of misfortune, or temporary defeat. +Be here now. Be someplace else later. Is that so complicated? +If you must tell me your opinions, tell me what you believe in. I have plenty of douts of my own. +I prefer to be true to myself, even at the hazard of incurring the ridicule of others, rather than to be false, and to incur my own abhorrence. +If it is not right do not do it; if it is not true do not say it. +An invasion of armies can be resisted, but not an idea whose time has come. +To be able to give away riches is mandatory if you wish to possess them. This is the only way that you will be truly rich. +Learning without reflection is a waste, reflection without learning is dangerous. +Don't fear failure so much that you refuse to try new things. The saddest summary of life contains three descriptions: could have, might have, and should have. +All fixed set patterns are incapable of adaptability or pliability. The truth is outside of all fixed patterns. +You may say Im a dreamer, but Im not the only one, I hope someday you will join us, and the world will live as one. +Successful people ask better questions, and as a result, they get better answers. +Ability is what you're capable of doing. Motivation determines what you do.Attitude determines how well you do it. +How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world. +Do you want to know who you are? Don't ask. Act! Action will delineate and define you. +You can do it if you believe you can! +Nothing happens unless first we dream. +To change ones life, start immediately, do it flamboyantly, no exceptions. +The greatest antidote to insecurity and the sense of fear is compassion — it brings one back to the basis of one's inner strength +When you have got an elephant by the hind legs and he is trying to run away, it's best to let him run. +Everything you are against weakens you. Everything you are for empowers you. +In the middle of every difficulty lies opportunity. +The best way to pay for a lovely moment is to enjoy it. +I don't believe in failure. It's not failure if you enjoyed the process. +Truth, and goodness, and beauty are but different faces of the same all. +The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen, nor touched... but are felt in the heart. +You have to take it as it happens, but you should try to make it happen the way you want to take it. +If the single man plant himself indomitably on his instincts, and there abide, the huge world will come round to him. +Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. +Beauty is not in the face; beauty is a light in the heart. +Success in business requires training and discipline and hard work. But if you're not frightened by these things, the opportunities are just as great today as they ever were. +Give it all you've got because you never know if there's going to be a next time. +Happiness comes when your work and words are of benefit to yourself and others. +With courage you will dare to take risks, have the strength to be compassionate, and the wisdom to be humble. Courage is the foundation of integrity. +The man who trusts men will make fewer mistakes than he who distrusts them. +A jug fills drop by drop. +When you are content to be simply yourself and don't compare or compete, everybody will respect you. +Consider that not only do negative thoughts and emotions destroy our experience of peace, they also undermine our health. +The less effort, the faster and more powerful you will be. +Responsibility is not inherited, it is a choice that everyone needs to make at some point in their life. +Self-complacency is fatal to progress. +Intuition is the very force or activity of the soul in its experience through whatever has been the experience of the soul itself. +Write your plans in pencil and give God the eraser. +In separateness lies the world's great misery, in compassion lies the world's true strength. +The thing always happens that you really believe in; and the belief in a thing makes it happen. +A rolling stone gathers no moss. +Freedom is the right to live as we wish. +We must be as courteous to a man as we are to a picture, which we are willing to give the advantage of a good light. +The dream was always running ahead of me. To catch up, to live for a moment in unison with it, that was the miracle. +Through perseverance many people win success out of what seemed destined to be certain failure. +Doing what you love is the cornerstone of having abundance in your life. +Intuition is the very force or activity of the soul in its experience through whatever has been the experience of the soul itself. +Every adversity, every failure, every heartache carries with it the seed of an equal or greater benefit. +Of course there is no formula for success except perhaps an unconditional acceptance of life and what it brings. +The cure for boredom is curiosity. There is no cure for curiosity. +The longer we dwell on our misfortunes, the greater is their power to harm us. +The greatest barrier to success is the fear of failure. +Every great advance in science has issued from a new audacity of the imagination. +You may be deceived if you trust too much, but you will live in torment if you don't trust enough. +When there is no enemy within, the enemies outside cannot hurt you. +The most important thing is transforming our minds, for a new way of thinking, a new outlook: we should strive to develop a new inner world. +First say to yourself what you would be; and then do what you have to do. +We can do no great things, only small things with great love. +As we grow as unique persons, we learn to respect the uniqueness of others. +There is nothing happens to any person but what was in his power to go through with. +Work out your own salvation. Do not depend on others. +Don't focus on making the right decision, focus on making the decision the right one. +Everyone has been made for some particular work, and the desire for that work has been put in every heart. +Be like the flower, turn your face to the sun. +Remembering a wrong is like carrying a burden on the mind. +He that is giddy thinks the world turns round. +The foolish man seeks happiness in the distance; the wise grows it under his feet. +Gratitude is the fairest blossom which springs from the soul. +Nothing happens unless first we dream. +If you look into your own heart, and you find nothing wrong there, what is there to worry about? What is there to fear? +It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it. +Our virtues and our failings are inseparable, like force and matter. When they separate, man is no more. +There are no failures — just experiences and your reactions to them. +The heart has eyes which the brain knows nothing of. +Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage. +An optimist is a person who sees a green light everywhere, while the pessimist sees only the red spotlight... The truly wise person is colour-blind. +You cannot have what you do not want. +You have to believe in yourself. +The most important point is to accept yourself and stand on your two feet. +When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive — to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love. +All the flowers of all the tomorrows are in the seeds of today. +Do not follow where the path may lead. Go, instead, where there is no path and leave a trail. +It is not fair to ask of others what you are unwilling to do yourself. +The moment one gives close attention to anything, it becomes a mysterious, awesome, indescribably magnificent world in itself. +One today is worth two tomorrows. +You have to think anyway, so why not think big? +Knowing your own darkness is the best method for dealing with the darknesses of other people. +Don't let today's disappointments cast a shadow on tomorrow's dreams. +You cannot make yourself feel something you do not feel, but you can make yourself do right in spite of your feelings. +I walk slowly, but I never walk backward. +There is no retirement for an artist, it's your way of living so there is no end to it. +To be upset over what you don't have is to waste what you do have. +No one has ever become poor by giving. +Better than a thousand hollow words, is one word that brings peace. +Truth is powerful and it prevails. +Don't ruin the present with the ruined past. +Blaze with the fire that is never extinguished. +Make the best use of what is in your power, and take the rest as it happens. +What is new in the world? Nothing. What is old in the world? Nothing. Everything has always been and will always be. +If you do not change direction, you may end up where you are heading. +The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page. +He who lives in harmony with himself lives in harmony with the universe. +The best thing in every noble dream is the dreamer... +Spring is a time for rebirth and the fulfilment of new life. +Every man is a volume if you know how to read him. +You're not obligated to win. You're obligated to keep trying to do the best you can every day. +Weve got to have a dream if we are going to make a dream come true. +If you want things to be different, perhaps the answer is to become different yourself. +If you want your life to be more rewarding, you have to change the way you think. +I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand. +In order to win, you must expect to win. +Everything in the universe goes by indirection. There are no straight lines. +Don't fear failure so much that you refuse to try new things. The saddest summary of life contains three descriptions: could have, might have, and should have. +To be aware of a single shortcoming in oneself is more useful than to be aware of a thousand in someone else. +There is nothing impossible to him who will try. +If you have no respect for your own values how can you be worthy of respect from others. +Kindness is more important than wisdom, and the recognition of this is the beginning of wisdom. +How far that little candle throws its beams! So shines a good deed in a naughty world. +We must become the change we want to see. +Thousands of candles can be lit from a single, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared. +Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world. +Never mistake activity for achievement. +You must train your intuition — you must trust the small voice inside you which tells you exactly what to say, what to decide. +Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned. +People grow through experience if they meet life honestly and courageously. This is how character is built. +It is only when the mind and character slumber that the dress can be seen. +Waste no more time arguing about what a good man should be. Be one. +Freedom is not worth having if it does not connote freedom to err. +Do not be embarrassed by your mistakes. Nothing can teach us better than our understanding of them. This is one of the best ways of self-education. +The only real failure in life is not to be true to the best one knows. +Happiness comes when your work and words are of benefit to yourself and others. +Three things cannot be long hidden: the sun, the moon, and the truth. +Anyone who doesn't take truth seriously in small matters cannot be trusted in large ones either. +He who talks more is sooner exhausted. +Everything in the universe goes by indirection. There are no straight lines. +Nobody made a greater mistake than he who did nothing because he could do only a little. +Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones weve been waiting for. We are the change that we seek. +I begin with an idea and then it becomes something else. +Those who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat it. +The highest stage in moral ure at which we can arrive is when we recognize that we ought to control our thoughts. +Why worry about tomorrow, when today is all we have? +Transformation doesn't take place with a vacuum; instead, it occurs when we are indirectly and directly connected to all those around us. +Every man dies. Not every man really lives. +They must often change, who would be constant in happiness or wisdom. +Quality is never an accident; it is always the result of intelligent effort. +Courage is not about taking risks unknowingly but putting your own being in front of challenges that others may not be able to. +The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong. +Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall. +The trick is in what one emphasizes. We either make ourselves miserable, or we make ourselves happy. The amount of work is the same. +Difficulties are things that show a person what they are. +Our distrust is very expensive. +By going beyond your own problems and taking care of others, you gain inner strength, self-confidence, courage, and a greater sense of calm. +Knowing your own darkness is the best method for dealing with the darknesses of other people. +Obstacles are those things you see when you take your eyes off the goal. +Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions. +To get something you never had, you have to do something you never did. +The one who always loses, is the only person who gets the reward. +Just as a flower, which seems beautiful has color but no perfume, so are the fruitless words of a man who speaks them but does them not. +Things that were hard to bear are sweet to remember. +We can change our lives. We can do, have, and be exactly what we wish. +The heart has eyes which the brain knows nothing of. +To know oneself is to study oneself in action with another person. +Life is a gift, and it offers us the privilege, opportunity, and responsibility to give something back by becoming more +Only those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly. +Peace begins with a smile. +Stay committed to your decisions, but stay flexible in your approach. +If we could learn to like ourselves, even a little, maybe our cruelties and angers might melt away. +The only limit to your impact is your imagination and commitment. +No matter how hard the past, you can always begin again. +It is better to understand a little than to misunderstand a lot. +The moment one gives close attention to anything, even a blade of grass, it becomes a mysterious, awesome, indescribably magnificent world in itself. +No man can succeed in a line of endeavor which he does not like. +Three things in human life are important. The first is to be kind. The second is to be kind. The third is to be kind. +Mediocrity knows nothing higher than itself, but talent instantly recognizes genius. +Giving up doesn't always mean you are weak. Sometimes it means that you are strong enough to let go. +Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower. +To be beautiful means to be yourself. You don’t need to be accepted by others. You need to accept yourself. +No valid plans for the future can be made by those who have no capacity for living now. +Things turn out best for those who make the best of the way things turn out. +Progress always involves risks. You can't steal second base and keep your foot on first. +Each day can be one of triumph if you keep up your interests. +There is one thing you have got to learn about our movement. Three people are better than no people. +Happiness is a perfume you cannot pour on others without getting a few drops on yourself. +However many holy words you read, However many you speak, What good will they do you If you do not act on upon them? +They can conquer who believe they can. +The world has the habit of making room for the man whose actions show that he knows where he is going. +We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts, we make the world. +It is very easy to forgive others their mistakes; it takes more grit to forgive them for having witnessed your own. +When one tugs at a single thing in nature, he finds it attached to the rest of the world. +What matters is the value we've created in our lives, the people we've made happy and how much we've grown as people. +To fly as fast as thought, you must begin by knowing that you have already arrived. +Without leaps of imagination, or dreaming, we lose the excitement of possibilities. Dreaming, after all, is a form of planning. +Successful people ask better questions, and as a result, they get better answers. +Know, first, who you are, and then adorn yourself accordingly. +I always wanted to be somebody, but I should have been more specific. +To enjoy life, we must touch much of it lightly. +We do what we do because we believe. +Learn to listen. Opportunity could be knocking at your door very softly. +All action results from thought, so it is thoughts that matter. +As we risk ourselves, we grow. Each new experience is a risk. +Without this playing with fantasy no creative work has ever yet come to birth. The debt we owe to the play of the imagination is incalculable. +Ability is what you're capable of doing. Motivation determines what you do.Attitude determines how well you do it. +The cure for boredom is curiosity. There is no cure for curiosity. +Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap but by the seeds you plant. +There is nothing so useless as doing efficiently that which should not be done at all. +Conflict is the gadfly of thought. It stirs us to observation and memory. It instigates to invention. It shocks us out of sheeplike passivity, and sets us at noting and contriving. +Rather than wishing for change, you first must be prepared to change. +You'll see it when you believe it. +Everyone smiles in the same language. +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. +Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies. +There is only one success — to be able to spend your life in your own way. +Yesterdays home runs don't win today's games. +Letting go isn’t the end of the world; it’s the beginning of a new life. +Nature gave us one tongue and two ears so we could hear twice as much as we speak. +Work while you have the light. You are responsible for the talent that has been entrusted to you. +There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle. +I am not afraid of tomorrow, for I have seen yesterday and I love today. +I love my past. I love my present. Im not ashamed of what Ive had, and Im not sad because I have it no longer. +Prejudice is a burden that confuses the past, threatens the future and renders the present inaccessible. +I cannot give you the formula for success, but I can give you the formula for failure: which is: Try to please everybody. +Just as much as we see in others we have in ourselves. +Prosperity depends more on wanting what you have than having what you want. +Stay committed to your decisions, but stay flexible in your approach. +How many cares one loses when one decides not to be something but to be someone. +The most successful people are those who are good at plan B. +He who knows, does not speak. He who speaks, does not know. +There is nothing in a caterpillar that tells you it's going to be a butterfly. +We cannot direct the wind but we can adjust the sails. +He who conquers others is strong; He who conquers himself is mighty. +True silence is the rest of the mind; it is to the spirit what sleep is to the body, nourishment and refreshment. +Life is a process. We are a process. The universe is a process. +One may say the eternal mystery of the world is its comprehensibility. +Peace of mind is not the absence of conflict from life, but the ability to cope with it. +Adversity isn't set against you to fail; adversity is a way to build your character so that you can succeed over and over again through perseverance. +To be beautiful means to be yourself. You don’t need to be accepted by others. You need to accept yourself. +The self is not something ready-made, but something in continuous formation through choice of action. +Once you choose hope, anythings possible. +Everything is perfect in the universe — even your desire to improve it. +Ability is what you're capable of doing. Motivation determines what you do.Attitude determines how well you do it. +Real magic in relationships means an absence of judgement of others. +To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe. +Limitations live only in our minds. But if we use our imaginations, our possibilities become limitless. +Yesterdays home runs don't win today's games. +Our greatness lies not so much in being able to remake the world as being able to remake ourselves. +The noblest worship is to make yourself as good and as just as you can. +Allow the world to live as it chooses, and allow yourself to live as you choose. +Wherever you go, go with all your heart. +Nothing is at last sacred but the integrity of your own mind. +Moments of complete apathy are the best for new creations. +The only real mistake is the one from which we learn nothing. +Every adversity, every failure, every heartache carries with it the seed of an equal or greater benefit. +To dream of the person you would like to be is to waste the person you are. +These days people seek knowledge, not wisdom. Knowledge is of the past, wisdom is of the future. +Criticism is something you can easily avoid by saying nothing, doing nothing, and being nothing. +Prejudice is a burden that confuses the past, threatens the future and renders the present inaccessible. +You are the only person on earth who can use your ability. +You were not born a winner, and you were not born a loser. You are what you make yourself be. +He who experiences the unity of life sees his own Self in all beings, and all beings in his own Self, and looks on everything with an impartial eye. +Myths which are believed in tend to become true. +Don't let today's disappointments cast a shadow on tomorrow's dreams. +All serious daring starts from within. +The important thing is this: to be able at any moment to sacrifice what we are for what we could become. +Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues, but the paren't of all the others. +There is no scarcity of opportunity to make a living at what you love; theres only scarcity of resolve to make it happen. +It is never too late. Even if you are going to die tomorrow, keep yourself straight and clear and be a happy human being today. +The universe is transformation; our life is what our thoughts make it. +Do good by stealth, and blush to find it fame. +Respect is not something that you can ask for, buy or borrow. Respect is what you earn from each person no matter their background or status. +Things do not change; we change. +Excellence is not a skill. It is an attitude. +We must learn our limits. We are all something, but none of us are everything. +You have to think anyway, so why not think big? +The harder you fall, the higher you bounce. +Always seek out the seed of triumph in every adversity. +To be upset over what you don't have is to waste what you do have. +Opportunity often comes disguised in the form of misfortune, or temporary defeat. +Yesterdays home runs don't win today's games. +Happiness does not come from having much, but from being attached to little. +Everyone has been made for some particular work, and the desire for that work has been put in every heart. +Act as if what you do makes a difference. It does. +Learn wisdom from the ways of a seedling. A seedling which is never hardened off through stressful situations will never become a strong productive plant. +No pessimist ever discovered the secrets of the stars, or sailed to an uncharted land, or opened a new heaven to the human spirit. +We are all faced with a series of great opportunities brilliantly disguised as impossible situations. +If you are patient in one moment of anger, you will escape one hundred days of sorrow. +The poor man is not he who is without a cent, but he who is without a dream. +All men have a sweetness in their life. That is what helps them go on. It is towards that they turn when they feel too worn out. +Be a good listener. Your ears will never get you in trouble. +Every day may not be good, but there's something good in every day. +Meditation brings wisdom; lack of mediation leaves ignorance. Know well what leads you forward and what hold you back, and choose the path that leads to wisdom. +The heart has eyes which the brain knows nothing of. +What we see is mainly what we look for. +It is impossible to feel grateful and depressed in the same moment. +You learn to speak by speaking, to study by studying, to run by running, to work by working; in just the same way, you learn to love by loving. +I have been impressed with the urgency of doing. Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Being willing is not enough; we must do. +The best place to find a helping hand is at the end of your own arm. +The worst bankrupt in the world is the person who has lost his enthusiasm. +The purpose of learning is growth, and our minds, unlike our bodies, can continue growing as we continue to live. +Strong beliefs win strong men, and then make them stronger. +He that never changes his opinions, never corrects his mistakes, and will never be wiser on the morrow than he is today. +I cannot always control what goes on outside. But I can always control what goes on inside. +In order to win, you must expect to win. +For every failure, there's an alternative course of action. You just have to find it. When you come to a roadblock, take a detour. +Opportunity is missed by most because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. +Give thanks for the rain of life that propels us to reach new horizons. +A beautiful thing is never perfect. +You give before you get. +We must be as courteous to a man as we are to a picture, which we are willing to give the advantage of a good light. +Imagination disposes of everything; it creates beauty, justice, and happiness, which are everything in this world. +There are no failures. Just experiences and your reactions to them. +As we grow as unique persons, we learn to respect the uniqueness of others. +Every great mistake has a halfway moment, a split second when it can be recalled and perhaps remedied. +The self is not something ready-made, but something in continuous formation through choice of action. +Don't let today's disappointments cast a shadow on tomorrow's dreams. +To listen well is as powerful a means of communication and influence as to talk well. +Imagination is the living power and prime agent of all human perception. +When you don't know what you believe, everything becomes an argument. Everything is debatable. But when you stand for something, decisions are obvious. +You only lose what you cling to. +There is only one happiness in life, to love and be loved. +Happiness is found in doing, not merely possessing. +Live through feeling and you will live through love. For feeling is the language of the soul, and feeling is truth. +He who is contented is rich. +You are always free to change your mind and choose a different future, or a different past. +Kindness in words creates confidence. Kindness in thinking creates profoundness. Kindness in giving creates love. +Reason and free inquiry are the only effectual agents against error. +Moments of complete apathy are the best for new creations. +We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing. +You can't choose up sides on a round world. +The best cure for the body is a quiet mind. +He who lives in harmony with himself lives in harmony with the universe. +By believing passionately in something that does not yet exist, we create it. +If one is estranged from oneself, then one is estranged from others too. If one is out of touch with oneself, then one cannot touch others. +You got to be careful if you don't know where you're going, because you might not get there. +See the positive side, the potential, and make an effort. +Always be yourself, express yourself, have faith in yourself, do not go out and look for a successful personality and duplicate it. +By accepting yourself and being fully what you are, your presence can make others happy. +Never deny a diagnosis, but do deny the negative verdict that may go with it. +The really unhappy person is the one who leaves undone what they can do, and starts doing what they don't understand; no wonder they come to grief. +If you don't know where you are going, you will probably end up somewhere else. +I am a man of fixed and unbending principles, the first of which is to be flexible at all times. +The happiness of a man in this life does not consist in the absence but in the mastery of his passions. +Life is movement-we breathe, we eat, we walk, we move! +Your work is to discover your world and then with all your heart give yourself to it. +You cannot be lonely if you like the person you're alone with. +The place to improve the world is first in one's own heart and head and hands. +Why worry about tomorrow, when today is all we have? +One of the advantages of being disorderly is that one is constantly making exciting discoveries. +I believe that we are solely responsible for our choices, and we have to accept the consequences of every deed, word, and thought throughout our lifetime. +To be what we are, and to become what we are capable of becoming, is the only end of life. +Face your deficiencies and acknowledge them; but do not let them master you. Let them teach you patience, sweetness, insight. +We know the truth, not only by the reason, but by the heart. +Fame usually comes to those who are thinking about something else. +The truest wisdom is a resolute determination. +Never, never, never give up. +The best thing in every noble dream is the dreamer... +Everyone smiles in the same language. +If you want a thing done well, do it yourself. +Take heed: you do not find what you do not seek. +If you look into your own heart, and you find nothing wrong there, what is there to worry about? What is there to fear? +Waste no more time arguing about what a good man should be. Be one. +Just as a candle cannot burn without fire, men cannot live without a spiritual life. +Yesterday I dared to struggle. Today I dare to win. +Be a good listener. Your ears will never get you in trouble. +I do not believe in a fate that falls on men however they act; but I do believe in a fate that falls on man unless they act. +If you propose to speak, always ask yourself, is it true, is it necessary, is it kind. +Kind words do not cost much. Yet they accomplish much. +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. +To understand the heart and mind of a person, look not at what he has already achieved, but at what he aspires to do. +It is not only for what we do that we are held responsible, but also for what we do not do. +A good teacher is like a candle — it consumes itself to light the way for others. +Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible. +When fate hands us a lemon, lets try to make lemonade. +If the stars should appear but one night every thousand years how man would marvel and adore. +Though no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending. +Risk more than others think is safe. Care more than others think is wise. Dream more than others think is practical.Expect more than others think is possible. +Go put your creed into the deed. Nor speak with double tongue. +There are two ways to slide easily through life: to believe everything or to doubt everything; both ways save us from thinking. +Ignorant men don't know what good they hold in their hands until they've flung it away. +Failure will never overtake me if my determination to succeed is strong enough. +Let go of your attachment to being right, and suddenly your mind is more open. You're able to benefit from the unique viewpoints of others, without being crippled by your own judgement. +Our doubts are traitors and make us lose the good we often might win, by fearing to attempt. +While we try to teach our children all about life, our children teach us what life is all about. +Kind words can be short and easy to speak but their echoes are truly endless. +Things turn out best for those who make the best of the way things turn out. +Wrinkles should merely indicate where smiles have been. +Your attitude, not your aptitude, will determine your altitude. +You can be what you want to be. You have the power within and we will help you always. +The thoughts we choose to think are the tools we use to paint the canvas of our lives. +Don't be afraid to go out on a limb. That's where the fruit is. +As an organizer I start from where the world is, as it is, not as I would like it to be. +If you can dream it, you can do it. +Let yourself be silently drawn by the stronger pull of what you really love. +Where all think alike, no one thinks very much. +Mediocrity knows nothing higher than itself, but talent instantly recognizes genius. +The undertaking of a new action brings new strength. +What you see depends on what you're looking for. +Be your own hero, it's cheaper than a movie ticket. +I gave my life to become the person I am right now. Was it worth it? +Through pride we are ever deceiving ourselves. But deep down below the surface of the average conscience a still, small voice says to us, Something is out of tune. +Give thanks for a little and you will find a lot. +Most powerful is he who has himself in his own power. +If we learn to open our hearts, anyone, including the people who drive us crazy, can be our teacher. +It is better to take many small steps in the right direction than to make a great leap forward only to stumble backward. +Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues, but the paren't of all the others. +When you doubt your power, you give power to your doubt. +You may only be someone in the world, but to someone else, you may be the world. +You, yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection. +You block your dream when you allow your fear to grow bigger than your faith. +Your ability to learn faster than your competition is your only sustainable competitive advantage. +Nobody made a greater mistake than he who did nothing because he could do only a little. +A gem cannot be polished without friction, nor a man perfected without trials. +The first duty of a human being is to assume the right functional relationship to society — more briefly, to find your real job, and do it. +Mistakes are always forgivable, if one has the courage to admit them. +Forgiveness does not change the past, but it does enlarge the future. +I have just three things to teach: simplicity, patience, compassion. These three are your greatest treasures. +Let the future tell the truth, and evaluate each one according to his work and accomplishments. The present is theirs; the future, for which I have really worked, is mine. +The important thing is this: to be able at any moment to sacrifice what we are for what we could become. +I think and that is all that I am. +Don't leave a stone unturned. It's always something, to know you have done the most you could. +In the middle of every difficulty lies opportunity. +Fame usually comes to those who are thinking about something else. +If one does not know to which port is sailing, no wind is favorable. +A fine quotation is a diamond on the finger of a man of wit, and a pebble in the hand of a fool. +Moral excellence comes about as a result of habit. We become just by doing just acts, temperate by doing temperate acts, brave by doing brave acts. +Id rather regret the things that I have done than the things that I have not done. +Do not be too timid and squeamish about your reactions. All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better. +The deepest craving of human nature is the need to be appreciated. +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. +Love does not consist of gazing at each other, but in looking together in the same direction. +We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts, we make the world. +Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed people can change the world. Indeed. It is the only thing that ever has. +If you can dream it, you can do it. +The odds of hitting your target go up dramatically when you aim at it. +Compassion and happiness are not a sign of weakness but a sign of strength. +I cannot make my days longer so I strive to make them better. +Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, vision cleared, ambition inspired, and success achieved. +A wise man can learn more from a foolish question than a fool can learn from a wise answer. +The key to growth is the introduction of higher dimensions of consciousness into our awareness. +Fortune befriends the bold. +Excellence is not a skill. It is an attitude. +Your attitude, not your aptitude, will determine your altitude. +There is no scarcity of opportunity to make a living at what you love; theres only scarcity of resolve to make it happen. +One must be fond of people and trust them if one is not to make a mess of life. +The happy and efficient people in this world are those who accept trouble as a normal detail of human life and resolve to capitalize it when it comes along. +Let your hook always be cast; in the pool where you least expect it, there will be a fish. +Arrogance and rudeness are training wheels on the bicycle of life — for weak people who cannot keep their balance without them. +Every person, all the events of your life are there because you have drawn them there. What you choose to do with them is up to you. +We never understand how little we need in this world until we know the loss of it. +We have committed the Golden Rule to memory; let us now commit it to life. +Obstacles are those things you see when you take your eyes off the goal. +Knowing your own darkness is the best method for dealing with the darknesses of other people. +Life is a learning experience, only if you learn. +It is only when the mind and character slumber that the dress can be seen. +If you can dream it, you can do it. +Kind words do not cost much. Yet they accomplish much. +It is with words as with sunbeams. The more they are condensed, the deeper they burn. +Each time we face a fear, we gain strength, courage, and confidence in the doing. +We cannot direct the wind but we can adjust the sails. +This world, after all our science and sciences, is still a miracle; wonderful, inscrutable, magical and more, to whosoever will think of it. +Every gift from a friend is a wish for your happiness. +When people are like each other they tend to like each other. +Id rather regret the things that I have done than the things that I have not done. +Sincerity is the way of Heaven. The attainment of sincerity is the way of men. +I always wanted to be somebody, but I should have been more specific. +The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen, nor touched... but are felt in the heart. +You can't trust without risk but neither can you live in a cocoon. +Everything you are against weakens you. Everything you are for empowers you. +All I can say about life is, Oh God, enjoy it! +The secret of joy in work is contained in one word — excellence. To know how to do something well is to enjoy it. +There is only one happiness in life, to love and be loved. +The eye sees only what the mind is prepared to comprehend. +Well begun is half done. +Don't think of it as failure. Think of it as time-released success. +Your friends will know you better in the first minute you meet than your acquaintances will know you in a thousand years. +Try not to become a man of success, but rather try to become a man of value. +Meaning is not what you start with but what you end up with. +Be the change that you want to see in the world. +The most formidable weapon against errors of every kind is reason. +I don't believe in failure. It is not failure if you enjoyed the process. +Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, vision cleared, ambition inspired, and success achieved. +A little more persistence, a little more effort, and what seemed hopeless failure may turn to glorious success. +The more you care, the stronger you can be. +Lots of people want to ride with you in the limo, but what you want is someone who will take the bus with you when the limo breaks down. +A good rest is half the work. +Goals are the fuel in the furnace of achievement. +He who is contented is rich. +God always takes the simplest way. +Just trust yourself, then you will know how to live. +Formula for success: under promise and over deliver. +Everything in life is luck. +The greatest part of our happiness depends on our dispositions, not our circumstances. +Neither genius, fame, nor love show the greatness of the soul. Only kindness can do that. +Living at risk is jumping off the cliff and building your wings on the way down. +What matters is the value we've created in our lives, the people we've made happy and how much we've grown as people. +Our intention creates our reality. +To be fully alive, fully human, and completely awake is to be continually thrown out of the nest. +To free us from the expectations of others, to give us back to ourselves — there lies the great, singular power of self-respect. +Success means having the courage, the determination, and the will to become the person you believe you were meant to be. +Always be yourself, express yourself, have faith in yourself, do not go out and look for a successful personality and duplicate it. +Iron rusts from disuse; water loses its purity from stagnation... even so does inaction sap the vigour of the mind. +A good rest is half the work. +You won't skid if you stay in a rut. +We must become the change we want to see. +A rolling stone gathers no moss. +Be not afraid of greatness: some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them. +Change in all things is sweet. +Fame usually comes to those who are thinking about something else. +Setting an example is not the main means of influencing another, it is the only means. +There are two kinds of failures: those who thought and never did, and those who did and never thought. +We know from science that nothing in the universe exists as an isolated or independent entity. +There is only one happiness in life, to love and be loved. +He that respects himself is safe from others; he wears a coat of mail that none can pierce. +The most dangerous way to lose time is not to spend it having fun, but to spend it doing fake work. When you spend time having fun, you know you're being self-indulgent. +Worry often gives a small thing a big shadow. +If you don't design your own life plan, chances are you'll fall into someone else's plan. And guess what they have planned for you? Not much. +Of course there is no formula for success except perhaps an unconditional acceptance of life and what it brings. +It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop. +Nature is a mutable cloud which is always and never the same. +We aim above the mark to hit the mark. +Our greatest glory is not in never failing but rising everytime we fall. +It all depends on how we look at things, and not how they are in themselves. +Be like the flower, turn your face to the sun. +He who talks more is sooner exhausted. +Giving up doesn't always mean you are weak; sometimes it means that you are strong enough to let go. +To climb steep hills requires a slow pace at first. +An idea that is developed and put into action is more important than an idea that exists only as an idea. +No valid plans for the future can be made by those who have no capacity for living now. +There is nothing impossible to him who will try. +It is not the possession of truth, but the success which attends the seeking after it, that enriches the seeker and brings happiness to him. +Truth is generally the best vindication against slander. +All achievements, all earned riches, have their beginning in an idea. +To follow, without halt, one aim: There is the secret of success. +When the solution is simple, God is answering. +Imagination is the highest kite one can fly. +The way we communicate with others and with ourselves ultimately determines the quality of our lives. +If the single man plant himself indomitably on his instincts, and there abide, the huge world will come round to him. +The universe is transformation; our life is what our thoughts make it. +The greatest minds are capable of the greatest vices as well as of the greatest virtues. +And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. +Let go of your attachment to being right, and suddenly your mind is more open. You're able to benefit from the unique viewpoints of others, without being crippled by your own judgement. +What is a weed? A plant whose virtues have not yet been discovered. +Learn wisdom from the ways of a seedling. A seedling which is never hardened off through stressful situations will never become a strong productive plant. +Those who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat it. +Belief consists in accepting the affirmations of the soul; Unbelief, in denying them. +Living at risk is jumping off the cliff and building your wings on the way down. +Remember that sometimes not getting what you want is a wonderful stroke of luck. +Be less curious about people and more curious about ideas. +On every thorn, delightful wisdom grows, In every rill a sweet instruction flows. +Many people have gone further than they thought they could because someone else thought they could. +To free us from the expectations of others, to give us back to ourselves — there lies the great, singular power of self-respect. +In rivers, the water that you touch is the last of what has passed and the first of that which comes; so with present time. +Speak when you are angry and you will make the best speech you will ever regret. +No person is your friend who demands your silence, or denies your right to grow. +We choose our destiny in the way we treat others. +We read the world wrong and say that it deceives us. +I have just three things to teach: simplicity, patience, compassion. These three are your greatest treasures. +If only wed stop trying to be happy wed have a pretty good time. +Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened. +You must do the things you think you cannot do. +The path to success is to take massive, determined action. +Judge nothing, you will be happy. Forgive everything, you will be happier. Love everything, you will be happiest. +One may say the eternal mystery of the world is its comprehensibility. +To be upset over what you don't have is to waste what you do have. +Meaning is not what you start with but what you end up with. +Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy. +Four steps to achievement: Plan purposefully. Prepare prayerfully. Proceed positively. Pursue persistently. +A true friend is the most precious of all possessions and the one we take the least thought about acquiring. +Be yourself; everyone else is already taken. +Sometimes the most important thing in a whole day is the rest we take between two deep breaths. +The poor man is not he who is without a cent, but he who is without a dream. +Loss is nothing else but change,and change is Natures delight. +When deeds speak, words are nothing. +Every person, all the events of your life are there because you have drawn them there. What you choose to do with them is up to you. +Successful people ask better questions, and as a result, they get better answers. +Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall. +People of mediocre ability sometimes achieve outstanding success because they don't know when to quit. Most men succeed because they are determined to. +A rolling stone gathers no moss. +All that is necessary is to accept the impossible, do without the indispensable, and bear the intolerable. +The mark of your ignorance is the depth of your belief in injustice and tragedy. What the caterpillar calls the end of the world, the Master calls the butterfly. +There is nothing in a caterpillar that tells you it's going to be a butterfly. +Things do not change; we change. +There is nothing in a caterpillar that tells you it's going to be a butterfly. +Most of the shadows of life are caused by standing in our own sunshine. +Know, first, who you are, and then adorn yourself accordingly. +You cannot have what you do not want. +I cannot make my days longer so I strive to make them better. +The greatest danger for most of us is not that our aim is too high and we miss it, but that it is too low and we reach it. +Thought is the blossom; language the bud; action the fruit behind it. +Life is not measured by the breaths you take, but by its breathtaking moments. +For everything that lives is holy, life delights in life. +Don't smother each other. No one can grow in the shade. +I am glad that I paid so little attention to good advice; had I abided by it I might have been saved from some of my most valuable mistakes. +The bird of paradise alights only upon the hand that does not grasp. +To be upset over what you don't have is to waste what you do have. +Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm. +A thing well said will be wit in all languages. +Myths which are believed in tend to become true. +Mediocrity knows nothing higher than itself, but talent instantly recognizes genius. +Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself. +The greatest remedy for anger is delay. +One who asks a question is a fool for five minutes; one who does not ask a question remains a fool forever. +Those who are free of resentful thoughts surely find peace. +Great acts are made up of small deeds. +All the world is a stage, And all the men and women merely players.They have their exits and entrances; Each man in his time plays many parts. +I gave my life to become the person I am right now. Was it worth it? +For every failure, there's an alternative course of action. You just have to find it. When you come to a roadblock, take a detour. +To study and not think is a waste. To think and not study is dangerous. +The possession of knowledge does not kill the sense of wonder and mystery. There is always more mystery. +Most folks are as happy as they make up their minds to be. +What you see depends on what you're looking for. +If you spend too much time thinking about a thing, you'll never get it done. +An optimist is a person who sees a green light everywhere, while the pessimist sees only the red spotlight... The truly wise person is colour-blind. +Things turn out best for those who make the best of the way things turn out. +If it is not right do not do it; if it is not true do not say it. +To be beautiful means to be yourself. You don’t need to be accepted by others. You need to accept yourself. +Love is the master key that opens the gates of happiness. +Our greatness lies not so much in being able to remake the world as being able to remake ourselves. +What we achieve inwardly will change outer reality. +The most decisive actions of our life... are most often unconsidered actions. +If I know what love is, it is because of you. +Your outlook on life is a direct reflection on how much you like yourself. +Nothing is softer or more flexible than water, yet nothing can resist it. +A subtle thought that is in error may yet give rise to fruitful inquiry that can establish truths of great value. +I believe that we are solely responsible for our choices, and we have to accept the consequences of every deed, word, and thought throughout our lifetime. +The person who makes a success of living is the one who see his goal steadily and aims for it unswervingly. That is dedication. +Tension is who you think you should be. Relaxation is who you are. +Friends are those rare people who ask how we are and then wait to hear the answer. +Wishes can be your best avenue of getting what you want when you turn wishes into action. Action moves your wish to the forefront from thought to reality. +My reputation grows with every failure. +We know what we are, but know not what we may be. +Time is the wisest counsellor of all. +The greatest good you can do for another is not just to share your riches but to reveal to him his own. +Good thoughts are no better than good dreams, unless they be executed. +Trust only movement. Life happens at the level of events, not of words. Trust movement. +Success is getting what you want. Happiness is wanting what you get. +Never be afraid to try, remember... Amateurs built the ark, Professionals built the Titanic. +We are the leaves of one branch, the drops of one sea, the flowers of one garden. +The only real failure in life is not to be true to the best one knows. +Happiness does not come about only due to external circumstances; it mainly derives from inner attitudes. +Skill to do comes of doing. +As we risk ourselves, we grow. Each new experience is a risk. +Be slow of tongue and quick of eye. +I always wanted to be somebody, but I should have been more specific. +However many holy words you read, however many you speak, what good will they do you if you do not act on upon them? +The greatest barrier to success is the fear of failure. +For success, attitude is equally as important as ability. +If you take each challenge one step at a time, with faith in every footstep, your strength and understanding will increase. +If you correct your mind, the rest of your life will fall into place. +A life spent making mistakes is not only more honourable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing. +Every person, all the events of your life are there because you have drawn them there. What you choose to do with them is up to you. +There is nothing in a caterpillar that tells you it's going to be a butterfly. +Your work is to discover your work and then with all your heart to give yourself to it. +Man is not sum of what he has already, but rather the sum of what he does not yet have, of what he could have. +Imagination is more important than knowledge. For while knowledge defines all we currently know and understand, imagination points to all we might yet discover and create. +If you don't design your own life plan, chances are you'll fall into someone else's plan. And guess what they have planned for you? Not much. +Knowledge rests not upon truth alone, but upon error also. +Why worry about things you can’t control when you can keep yourself busy controlling the things that depend on you? +The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen, nor touched... but are felt in the heart. +If you spend your whole life waiting for the storm, you'll never enjoy the sunshine. +If you are going to achieve excellence in big things, you develop the habit in little matters. Excellence is not an exception, it is a prevailing attitude. +You can observe a lot just by watching. +Failure will never overtake me if my determination to succeed is strong enough. +The man who trusts men will make fewer mistakes than he who distrusts them. +To get something you never had, you have to do something you never did. +A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new. +Your work is to discover your world and then with all your heart give yourself to it. +The past has no power to stop you from being present now. Only your grievance about the past can do that. +Better than a thousand hollow words is one word that brings peace. +Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves. +Never be afraid to try, remember... Amateurs built the ark, Professionals built the Titanic. +You, yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection. +The possibilities are numerous once we decide to act and not react. +The spirit, the will to win, and the will to excel, are the things that endure. These qualities are so much more important than the events that occur. +When fate hands us a lemon, lets try to make lemonade. +We can only learn to love by loving. +Remember always that you not only have the right to be an individual, you have an obligation to be one. +Fine words and an insinuating appearance are seldom associated with true virtue +He who obtains has little. He who scatters has much. +Self-trust is the first secret of success. +In the depth of winter, I finally learned that there was within me an invincible summer. +Through perseverance many people win success out of what seemed destined to be certain failure. +To be wrong is nothing unless you continue to remember it. +Don't compromise yourself. You are all you've got. +Never ignore a gut feeling, but never believe that it's enough. +Well done is better than well said. +The greatest danger for most of us is not that our aim is too high and we miss it, but that it is too low and we reach it. +Almost everything comes from nothing. +It isn't where you come from, it's where you're going that counts. +He who is contented is rich. +Where all think alike, no one thinks very much. +The world is round and the place which may seem like the end may also be the beginning. +I never think of the future. It comes soon enough. +Sometimes by losing a battle you find a new way to win the war. +Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so. +People of mediocre ability sometimes achieve outstanding success because they don't know when to quit. Most men succeed because they are determined to. +Listen to what you know instead of what you fear. +There are things so deep and complex that only intuition can reach it in our stage of development as human beings. +One secret of success in life is for a man to be ready for his opportunity when it comes. +You cannot step twice into the same river, for other waters are continually flowing in. +Ideals are an imaginative understanding of that which is desirable in that which is possible. +It is easier to live through someone else than to become complete yourself. +When you doubt your power, you give power to your doubt. +It's important to know that words don't move mountains. Work, exacting work moves mountains. +When your desires are strong enough you will appear to possess superhuman powers to achieve. +If you're in a bad situation, don't worry it'll change. If you're in a good situation, don't worry it'll change. +You can be what you want to be. You have the power within and we will help you always. +The happy and efficient people in this world are those who accept trouble as a normal detail of human life and resolve to capitalize it when it comes along. +The possession of knowledge does not kill the sense of wonder and mystery. There is always more mystery. +The greatest obstacle to connecting with our joy is resentment. +Remember that failure is an event, not a person. +Why worry about tomorrow, when today is all we have? +There is no need for temples, no need for complicated philosophies. My brain and my heart are my temples; my philosophy is kindness. +From little acorns mighty oaks do grow. +You might well remember that nothing can bring you success but yourself. +Don't settle for a relationship that won't let you be yourself. +Wherever a man turns he can find someone who needs him. +Not what we have but what we enjoy constitutes our abundance. +As you think, so shall you become. +God has given you one face, and you make yourself another. +Bite off more than you can chew, then chew it. +The way we communicate with others and with ourselves ultimately determines the quality of our lives. +The only limit to your impact is your imagination and commitment. +Nothing diminishes anxiety faster than action. +What the caterpillar calls the end of the world, the master calls a butterfly. +Instead of saying that man is the creature of circumstance, it would be nearer the mark to say that man is the architect of circumstance. +A little knowledge that acts is worth infinitely more than much knowledge that is idle. +A smile is a light in the window of your face to show your heart is at home. +You might well remember that nothing can bring you success but yourself. +If you do what you've always done, you'll get what youve always gotten. +To dare is to lose ones footing momentarily. To not dare is to lose oneself. +Memory is the mother of all wisdom. +Make the best use of what is in your power, and take the rest as it happens. +Freedom is what you do with what's been done to you. +Do not wait for leaders; do it alone, person to person. +Knowledge has three degrees — opinion, science, illumination. The means or instrument of the first is sense; of the second, dialectic; of the third, intuition. +I find hope in the darkest of days, and focus in the brightest. I do not judge the universe. +Mind is everything: muscle, pieces of rubber. All that I am, I am because of my mind. +Never ignore a gut feeling, but never believe that it's enough. +The price of greatness is responsibility. +You don't drown by falling in water. You drown by staying there. +Obstacles are those things you see when you take your eyes off the goal. +Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world. +Don't talk about what you have done or what you are going to do. +Everything in life is luck. +Love vanquishes time. To lovers, a moment can be eternity, eternity can be the tick of a clock. +Letting go isn’t the end of the world; it’s the beginning of a new life. +Science is organized knowledge. Wisdom is organized life. +I'm not afraid of storms, for Im learning how to sail my ship. +A little knowledge that acts is worth infinitely more than much knowledge that is idle. +Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap but by the seeds that you plant. +It is fatal to enter any war without the will to win it. +Life is just a chance to grow a soul. +Make it a rule of life never to regret and never to look back. Regret is an appalling waste of energy; you can't build on it; it's only for wallowing in. +You can observe a lot just by watching. +We never live; we are always in the expectation of living. +Think like a man of action; act like a man of thought. +The beginning is always today. +The universe is transformation; our life is what our thoughts make it. +You can complain because roses have thorns, or you can rejoice because thorns have roses. +Patience is a virtue but you will never ever accomplish anything if you don't exercise action over patience. +There is not one big cosmic meaning for all, there is only the meaning we each give to our life. +Well done is better than well said. +I always wanted to be somebody, but I should have been more specific. +Always do your best. What you plant now, you will harvest later. +Without leaps of imagination, or dreaming, we lose the excitement of possibilities. Dreaming, after all, is a form of planning. +A leader is best when people barely know he exists, when his work is done, his aim fulfilled, they will say: we did it ourselves. +If it is not right do not do it; if it is not true do not say it. +Every great mistake has a halfway moment, a split second when it can be recalled and perhaps remedied. +Kindness is more important than wisdom, and the recognition of this is the beginning of wisdom. +There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle. +Time you enjoyed wasting was not wasted. +You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life. +Genuine sincerity opens people's hearts, while manipulation causes them to close. +Intuition is the supra-logic that cuts out all the routine processes of thought and leaps straight from the problem to the answer. +Something opens our wings. Something makes boredom and hurt disappear. Someone fills the cup in front of us: We taste only sacredness. +Your big opportunity may be right where you are now. +Do something wonderful, people may imitate it. +To give ones self earnestly to the duties due to men, and, while respecting spiritual beings, to keep aloof from them, may be called wisdom. +A man's dreams are an index to his greatness. +Everyone smiles in the same language. +There is no way to happiness, happiness is the way. +We do not quit playing because we grow old, we grow old because we quit playing. +You're not obligated to win. You're obligated to keep trying to do the best you can every day. +Your body is precious. It is our vehicle for awakening. Treat it with care. +Conflict is the gadfly of thought. It stirs us to observation and memory. It instigates to invention. It shocks us out of sheeplike passivity, and sets us at noting and contriving. +What you do not want done to yourself, do not do to others. +How many cares one loses when one decides not to be something but to be someone. +In a controversy the instant we feel anger we have already ceased striving for the truth, and have begun striving for ourselves. +Why worry about things you can’t control when you can keep yourself busy controlling the things that depend on you? +Why worry about tomorrow, when today is all we have? +Know, first, who you are, and then adorn yourself accordingly. +Try and fail, but don't fail to try. +The first duty of a human being is to assume the right functional relationship to society — more briefly, to find your real job, and do it. +Your big opportunity may be right where you are now. +Be miserable. Or motivate yourself. Whatever has to be done, it's always your choice. +I believe that we are fundamentally the same and have the same basic potential. +Transformation does not start with some one else changing you; transformation is an inner self reworking of what you are now to what you will be. +Intuition will tell the thinking mind where to look next. +Our intention creates our reality. +Good timber does not grow with ease; the stronger the wind, the stronger the trees. +Something opens our wings. Something makes boredom and hurt disappear. Someone fills the cup in front of us: We taste only sacredness. +When you are content to be simply yourself and don't compare or compete, everybody will respect you. +Strong beliefs win strong men, and then make them stronger. +The smallest act of kindness is worth more than the grandest intention. +If you'll not settle for anything less than your best, you will be amazed at what you can accomplish in your lives. +Only through our connectedness to others can we really know and enhance the self. And only through working on the self can we begin to enhance our connectedness to others. +Man is equally incapable of seeing the nothingness from which he emerges and the infinity in which he is engulfed. +Be thankful when you don't know something for it gives you the opportunity to learn. +Ignorance never settle a question. +This is the final test of a gentleman: his respect for those who can be of no possible value to him. +Set your goals high, and don't stop till you get there. +Whoever is happy will make others happy, too. +I would maintain that thanks are the highest form of thought, and that gratitude is happiness doubled by wonder. +No pessimist ever discovered the secrets of the stars, or sailed to an uncharted land, or opened a new heaven to the human spirit. +To follow, without halt, one aim: There is the secret of success. +A stumble may prevent a fall. +The years teach much which the days never know. +God has given you one face, and you make yourself another. +You teach best what you most need to learn. +A subtle thought that is in error may yet give rise to fruitful inquiry that can establish truths of great value. +Compassion and happiness are not a sign of weakness but a sign of strength. +When you realize how perfect everything is you will tilt your head back and laugh at the sky. +Watch the little things; a small leak will sink a great ship. +Continuous effort—not strength or intelligence—is the key to unlocking our potential. +We must learn our limits. We are all something, but none of us are everything. +Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off your goal. +Appreciation can make a day, even change a life. Your willingness to put it into words is all that is necessary. +Be yourself; everyone else is already taken. +Kindness is the language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see. +To be tested is good. The challenged life may be the best therapist. +To ensure good health: eat lightly, breathe deeply, live moderately, cultivate cheerfulness, and maintain an interest in life. +Sooner or later, those who win are those who think they can. +Happiness is not in the mere possession of money; it lies in the joy of achievement, in the thrill of creative effort. +Fortune favours the brave. +The heart has its reasons which reason knows not of. +Go for it now. The future is promised to no one. +When you doubt your power, you give power to your doubt. +Never tell a young person that anything cannot be done. God may have been waiting centuries for someone ignorant enough of the impossible to do that very thing. +Every action of our lives touches on some chord that will vibrate in eternity. +You can adopt the attitude there is nothing you can do, or you can see the challenge as your call to action. +Don't let what you can't do stop you from doing what you can do. +Wisdom is the reward you get for a lifetime of listening when you'd have preferred to talk. +Just as a candle cannot burn without fire, men cannot live without a spiritual life. +We come to love not by finding a perfect person, but by learning to see an imperfect person perfectly. +Being right is highly overrated. Even a stopped clock is right twice a day. +To ensure good health: eat lightly, breathe deeply, live moderately, cultivate cheerfulness, and maintain an interest in life. +It is one of the blessings of old friends that you can afford to be stupid with them. +In a controversy the instant we feel anger we have already ceased striving for the truth, and have begun striving for ourselves. +Promises are the uniquely human way of ordering the future, making it predictable and reliable to the extent that this is humanly possible. +Our passion is our strength. +Learning is a treasure that will follow its owner everywhere +The best way to pay for a lovely moment is to enjoy it. +Loss is nothing else but change,and change is Natures delight. +Maxim for life: You get treated in life the way you teach people to treat you. +Whatever happens, take responsibility. +The only way to tell the truth is to speak with kindness. Only the words of a loving man can be heard. +Don't turn away from possible futures before you're certain you don't have anything to learn from them. +Focusing your life solely on making a buck shows a poverty of ambition. It asks too little of yourself. And it will leave you unfulfilled. +A single conversation across the table with a wise person is worth a months study of books. +We must not say every mistake is a foolish one. +There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle. +With every experience, you alone are painting your own canvas, thought by thought, choice by choice. +The day always looks brighter from behind a smile. +Allow the world to live as it chooses, and allow yourself to live as you choose. +Bold is not the act of foolishness but the attribute and inner strength to act when others will not so as to move forward not backward. +From small beginnings come great things. +One secret of success in life is for a man to be ready for his opportunity when it comes. +If we look at the world with a love of life, the world will reveal its beauty to us. +Open minds lead to open doors. +The most important point is to accept yourself and stand on your two feet. +In skating over thin ice our safety is in our speed. +The self is not something ready-made, but something in continuous formation through choice of action. +When you discover your mission, you will feel its demand. It will fill you with enthusiasm and a burning desire to get to work on it. +Happiness is the reward we get for living to the highest right we know. +To want to be what one can be is purpose in life. +Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. And today? Today is a gift that's why they call it the present. +Creativity comes from trust. Trust your instincts. And never hope more than you work. +Prejudice is a burden that confuses the past, threatens the future and renders the present inaccessible. +Whatever we expect with confidence becomes our own self-fulfilling prophecy. +When you dance, your purpose is not to get to a certain place on the floor. It's to enjoy each step along the way. +Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies. +Never deny a diagnosis, but do deny the negative verdict that may go with it. +The grand essentials of happiness are: something to do, something to love, and something to hope for. +Wisdom is knowing what to do next; Skill is knowing how ot do it, and Virtue is doing it. +Never promise more than you can perform. +No pessimist ever discovered the secrets of the stars, or sailed to an uncharted land, or opened a new heaven to the human spirit. +You were not born a winner, and you were not born a loser. You are what you make yourself be. +The greatest remedy for anger is delay. +He who fears being conquered is sure of defeat. +Belief consists in accepting the affirmations of the soul; Unbelief, in denying them. +Everyone is a genius at least once a year. A real genius has his original ideas closer together. +If you don't go after what you want, you'll never have it. If you don't ask, the answer is always no. If you don't step forward, you're always in the same place. +It is more important to know where you are going than to get there quickly. Do not mistake activity for achievement. +Do not turn back when you are just at the goal. +A single conversation across the table with a wise person is worth a months study of books. +When in doubt, tell the truth. +Every problem has a gift for you in its hands. +As you think, so shall you become. +The cautious seldom err. +Be less curious about people and more curious about ideas. +As you think, so shall you become. +The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams. +I can't believe that God put us on this earth to be ordinary. +There are no limitations to the mind except those we acknowledge. +You won't skid if you stay in a rut. +The universe is full of magical things, patiently waiting for our wits to grow sharper. +Ignorance never settle a question. +To fly, we have to have resistance. +Notice that the stiffest tree is most easily cracked, while the bamboo or willow survives by bending with the wind. +Things do not change; we change. +We never understand how little we need in this world until we know the loss of it. +He who angers you conquers you. +Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. And today? Today is a gift. That is why we call it the present. +Don't think of it as failure. Think of it as time-released success. +Instead of saying that man is the creature of circumstance, it would be nearer the mark to say that man is the architect of circumstance. +The exercise of an extraordinary gift is the supremest pleasure in life. +It is through science that we prove, but through intuition that we discover. +Every problem has a gift for you in its hands. +The possession of knowledge does not kill the sense of wonder and mystery. There is always more mystery. +The future is completely open, and we are writing it moment to moment. +Don't be dismayed by good-byes. A farewell is necessary before you can meet again. And meeting again, after moments or lifetimes, is certain for those who are friends. +Nothing in life is to be feared. It is only to be understood. +If someone in your life talked to you the way you talk to yourself, you would have left them long ago. +I will not be concerned at other men is not knowing me;I will be concerned at my own want of ability. +If you love someone, set them free. If they come back they're yours; if they don't they never were. +Courage is not about taking risks unknowingly but putting your own being in front of challenges that others may not be able to. +The cosmos is neither moral or immoral; only people are. He who would move the world must first move himself. +Some people are always grumbling because roses have thorns; I am thankful that thorns have roses. +Everyone smiles in the same language. +If you lose today, win tomorrow. In this never-ending spirit of challenge is the heart of a victor. +Arrogance and rudeness are training wheels on the bicycle of life — for weak people who cannot keep their balance without them. +Well done is better than well said. +No is easier to do. Yes is easier to say. +Myths which are believed in tend to become true. +A failure is a man who has blundered but is not capable of cashing in on the experience. +You can do what's reasonable or you can decide what's possible. +We must overcome the notion that we must be regular. It robs you of the chance to be extraordinary and leads you to the mediocre. +There is a way that nature speaks, that land speaks. Most of the time we are simply not patient enough, quiet enough, to pay attention to the story. +He who fears being conquered is sure of defeat. +You can do it if you believe you can! +Take time to deliberate, but when the time for action has arrived, stop thinking and go in. +To listen well is as powerful a means of communication and influence as to talk well. +He who angers you conquers you. +The secret of joy in work is contained in one word — excellence. To know how to do something well is to enjoy it. +Transformation doesn't take place with a vacuum; instead, it occurs when we are indirectly and directly connected to all those around us. +Everyone smiles in the same language. +There are two kinds of failures: those who thought and never did, and those who did and never thought. +You cannot make yourself feel something you do not feel, but you can make yourself do right in spite of your feelings. +Nobody made a greater mistake than he who did nothing because he could do only a little. +You can adopt the attitude there is nothing you can do, or you can see the challenge as your call to action. +I have often regretted my speech, never my silence. +Never promise more than you can perform. +The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen, nor touched... but are felt in the heart. +By going beyond your own problems and taking care of others, you gain inner strength, self-confidence, courage, and a greater sense of calm. +He can who thinks he can, and he can't who thinks he can't. This is an inexorable, indisputable law. +Complaining doesn't change a thing only taking action does. +If you think you can, you can. And if you think you can't, you're right. +If one advances confidently in the direction of his dream, and endeavours to live the life which he had imagines, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours. +If you wish to be a writer, write. +Never tell me the sky’s the limit when there are footprints on the moon. +When people are like each other they tend to like each other. +I cannot say whether things will get better if we change; what I can say is they must change if they are to get better. +Happiness cannot be travelled to, owned, earned, worn or consumed. Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace and gratitude. +The smallest flower is a thought, a life answering to some feature of the Great Whole, of whom they have a persistent intuition. +We must not say every mistake is a foolish one. +The way is not in the sky. The way is in the heart. +Once we accept our limits, we go beyond them. +Can miles truly separate you from friends... If you want to be with someone you love, aren't you already there? +There are two ways to slide easily through life: to believe everything or to doubt everything; both ways save us from thinking. +Fine words and an insinuating appearance are seldom associated with true virtue +The greater part of human pain is unnecessary. It is self-created as long as the unobserved mind runs your life. +Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars. +If the stars should appear but one night every thousand years how man would marvel and adore. +The only limit to our realization of tomorrow will be our doubts of today. +Learning without reflection is a waste, reflection without learning is dangerous. +Think for yourselves and let others enjoy the privilege to do so too. +Take it easy — but take it. +No garden is without its weeds. +Great indeed is the sublimity of the Creative, to which all beings owe their beginning and which permeates all heaven. +You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life. +No pessimist ever discovered the secrets of the stars, or sailed to an uncharted land, or opened a new heaven to the human spirit. +Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage. +Thats the risk you take if you change: that people you've been involved with won't like the new you. But other people who do will come along. +The winds and waves are always on the side of the ablest navigators. +No yesterdays are ever wasted for those who give themselves to today. +When it is obvious that the goals cannot be reached, don't adjust the goals, adjust the action steps. +Meditation brings wisdom; lack of mediation leaves ignorance. Know well what leads you forward and what hold you back, and choose the path that leads to wisdom. +Change your words. Change your world. +If you must tell me your opinions, tell me what you believe in. I have plenty of douts of my own. +You must train your intuition — you must trust the small voice inside you which tells you exactly what to say, what to decide. +Study the past, if you would divine the future. +God has given you one face, and you make yourself another. +The only real valuable thing is intuition. +It is never too late to be what you might have been. +People seldom notice old clothes if you wear a big smile. +Blessed is the man who expects nothing, for he shall never be disappointed. +What the caterpillar calls the end of the world, the master calls a butterfly. +It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop. +What we think, we become. +The foot feels the foot when it feels the ground. +Rainbows apologize for angry skies. +Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself. +Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful. +He who knows others is wise. He who knows himself is enlightened. +The greatest way to live with honor in this world is to be what we pretend to be. +Great are they who see that spiritual is stronger than any material force, that thoughts rule the world. +Trust only movement. Life happens at the level of events, not of words. Trust movement. +The really unhappy person is the one who leaves undone what they can do, and starts doing what they don't understand; no wonder they come to grief. +An ant on the move does more than a dozing ox +The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step. +They say that time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself. +Learn all you can from the mistakes of others. You won't have time to make them all yourself. +There are two primary choices in life: to accept conditions as they exist, or accept responsibility for changing them. +If one is lucky, a solitary fantasy can totally transform one million realities. +Once we accept our limits, we go beyond them. +Strength to carry on despite the odds means you have faith in your own abilities and know how. +And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. +The greatest pleasure I know is to do a good action by stealth, and to have it found out by accident. +If you don't design your own life plan, chances are you'll fall into someone else's plan. And guess what they have planned for you? Not much. +With courage you will dare to take risks, have the strength to be compassionate, and the wisdom to be humble. Courage is the foundation of integrity. +Moments of complete apathy are the best for new creations. +The best way to predict your future is to create it. +To avoid criticism, do nothing, say nothing, be nothing. +To accomplish great things, we must dream as well as act. +Fear is a darkroom where negatives develop. +We come to love not by finding a perfect person, but by learning to see an imperfect person perfectly. +People take different roads seeking fulfilment and happiness. Just because theyre not on your road doesn't mean they've gotten lost. +Life is what you make of it. Always has been, always will be. +To see things in the seed, that is genius. +Be miserable. Or motivate yourself. Whatever has to be done, it's always your choice. +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. +Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap but by the seeds that you plant. +Everyone has been made for some particular work, and the desire for that work has been put in every heart. +Be glad of life because it gives you the chance to love, to work, to play, and to look up at the stars. +A hero is no braver than an ordinary man, but he is braver five minutes longer. +There is no need for temples, no need for complicated philosophies. My brain and my heart are my temples; my philosophy is kindness. +Whoever is happy will make others happy, too. +It's not what happens to you, but how you react to it that matters. +He that never changes his opinions, never corrects his mistakes, and will never be wiser on the morrow than he is today. +Anybody can make history. Only a great man can write it. +A garden is always a series of losses set against a few triumphs, like life itself. +Difficulties are things that show a person what they are. +A goal without a plan is just a wish. +Life is so constructed that an event does not, cannot, will not, match the expectation. +We shall never know all the good that a simple smile can do. +Love is never lost. If not reciprocated, it will flow back and soften and purify the heart. +Do you want to know who you are? Don't ask. Act! Action will delineate and define you. +If facts are the seeds that later produce knowledge and wisdom, then the emotions and the impressions of the senses are the fertile soil in which the seeds must grow. +The harder you fall, the higher you bounce. +Kindness is more important than wisdom, and the recognition of this is the beginning of wisdom. +Compassion and happiness are not a sign of weakness but a sign of strength. +Don't focus on making the right decision, focus on making the decision the right one. +The way is not in the sky. The way is in the heart. +Light tomorrow with today! +Forgiveness does not change the past, but it does enlarge the future. +You won't skid if you stay in a rut. +Never mistake motion for action. +Genuine love should first be directed at oneself – if we do not love ourselves, how can we love others? +Your attitude, not your aptitude, will determine your altitude. +Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful. +When you see a man of worth, think of how you may emulate him. When you see one who is unworthy, examine yourself. +Never bend your head. Always hold it high. Look the world right in the eye. +A goal without a plan is just a wish. +When it is obvious that the goals cannot be reached, don't adjust the goals, adjust the action steps. +Friendship with oneself is all important because without it one cannot be friends with anybody else in the world. +I have often regretted my speech, never my silence. +One needs something to believe in, something for which one can have whole-hearted enthusiasm. One needs to feel that ones life has meaning, that one is needed in this world. +One who is too insistent on his own views, finds few to agree with him. +Do not be embarrassed by your mistakes. Nothing can teach us better than our understanding of them. This is one of the best ways of self-education. +A single conversation across the table with a wise person is worth a months study of books. +Be what you are. This is the first step toward becoming better than you are. +Just as a candle cannot burn without fire, men cannot live without a spiritual life. +Your attitude, not your aptitude, will determine your altitude. +Ability will never catch up with the demand for it. +Nature gave us one tongue and two ears so we could hear twice as much as we speak. +To be happy is to be able to become aware of oneself without fright. +You only lose what you cling to. +A weed is no more than a flower in disguise. +Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration. +The secret to a rich life is to have more beginnings than endings. +Translation is the paradigm, the exemplar of all writing. It is translation that demonstrates most vividly the yearning for transformation that underlies every act involving speech, that supremely human gift. +Wisdom is the reward you get for a lifetime of listening when you'd have preferred to talk. +Nothing ever goes away until it has taught us what we need to know. +A successful person is one who can lay a firm foundation with the bricks that others throw at him or her. +Meditation is the dissolution of thoughts in eternal awareness or Pure consciousness without objectification, knowing without thinking, merging finitude in infinity. +The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable man persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man. +Setting goals is the first step in turning the invisible into the visible. +The universe is transformation; our life is what our thoughts make it. +There is no duty we so underrate as the duty of being happy. By being happy we sow anonymous benefits upon the world. +Good instincts usually tell you what to do long before your head has figured it out. +Meaning is not what you start with but what you end up with. +We are all faced with a series of great opportunities brilliantly disguised as impossible situations. +What matters is the value we've created in our lives, the people we've made happy and how much we've grown as people. +The biggest adventure you can ever take is to live the life of your dreams. +Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere. +Promises are the uniquely human way of ordering the future, making it predictable and reliable to the extent that this is humanly possible. +A short saying oft contains much wisdom. +Self-complacency is fatal to progress. +What is not started today is never finished tomorrow. +It isn't what happens to us that causes us to suffer; it's what we say to ourselves about what happens. +The possession of knowledge does not kill the sense of wonder and mystery. There is always more mystery. +Bite off more than you can chew, then chew it. +Ignorance never settle a question. +Failure will never overtake me if my determination to succeed is strong enough. +Those who dream by day are cognizant of many things which escape those who dream only by night. +All that we are is the result of what we have thought. The mind is everything. What we think we become. +There is no need for temples, no need for complicated philosophies. My brain and my heart are my temples; my philosophy is kindness. +We cannot hold a torch to light another's path without brightening our own. +The minute you settle for less than you deserve, you get even less than you settled for. +You are never given a wish without also being given the power to make it come true. You may have to work for it, however. +If you don't design your own life plan, chances are you'll fall into someone else's plan. And guess what they have planned for you? Not much. +A weed is no more than a flower in disguise. +Real success is finding your lifework in the work that you love. +Great talent finds happiness in execution. +We are all faced with a series of great opportunities brilliantly disguised as impossible situations. +The deepest craving of human nature is the need to be appreciated. +If you have no respect for your own values how can you be worthy of respect from others. +Where there is great love, there are always miracles. +I allow my intuition to lead my path. +Never, never, never give up. +From little acorns mighty oaks do grow. +I believe that every person is born with talent. +The key to transforming our hearts and minds is to have an understanding of how our thoughts and emotions work. +Can you imagine what I would do if I could do all I can? +Wherever a man may happen to turn, whatever a man may undertake, he will always end up by returning to the path which nature has marked out for him. +It's so simple to be wise. Just think of something stupid to say and then don't say it. +When you are content to be simply yourself and don't compare or compete, everybody will respect you. +Many people have gone further than they thought they could because someone else thought they could. +Keep true to the dreams of thy youth. +Happiness does not come from having much, but from being attached to little. +Most smiles are started by another smile. +Through meditation and by giving full attention to one thing at a time, we can learn to direct attention where we choose. +Do not be embarrassed by your mistakes. Nothing can teach us better than our understanding of them. This is one of the best ways of self-education. +If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough. +All know the way; few actually walk it. +However many holy words you read, However many you speak, What good will they do you If you do not act on upon them? +What matters is the value we've created in our lives, the people we've made happy and how much we've grown as people. +When you begin to touch your heart or let your heart be touched, you begin to discover that it's bottomless. +Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless. +Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage. +With realization of ones own potential and self-confidence in ones ability, one can build a better world. +Count your joys instead of your woes. Count your friends instead of your foes. +The cause is hidden. The effect is visible to all. +You were not born a winner, and you were not born a loser. You are what you make yourself be. +If one does not know to which port is sailing, no wind is favorable. +I think and that is all that I am. +Dreams come true. Without that possibility, nature would not incite us to have them. +To be able to give away riches is mandatory if you wish to possess them. This is the only way that you will be truly rich. +One needs something to believe in, something for which one can have whole-hearted enthusiasm. One needs to feel that ones life has meaning, that one is needed in this world. +Nothing in life is to be feared. It is only to be understood. +A little knowledge that acts is worth infinitely more than much knowledge that is idle. +If you would take, you must first give, this is the beginning of intelligence. +Positive thinking will let you do everything better than negative thinking will. +He who lives in harmony with himself lives in harmony with the world. +Staying in one place is the best path to be taken over and surpassed by many. +To know oneself is to study oneself in action with another person. +However many holy words you read, however many you speak, what good will they do you if you do not act on upon them? +Doing nothing is better than being busy doing nothing. +There is not one big cosmic meaning for all, there is only the meaning we each give to our life. +You can tell whether a man is clever by his answers. You can tell whether a man is wise by his questions. +The truth of the matter is that you always know the right thing to do. The hard part is doing it. +Imagination will often carry us to worlds that never were. But without it we go nowhere. +When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us. +We must be as courteous to a man as we are to a picture, which we are willing to give the advantage of a good light. +Change your thoughts, change your life! +You have to take it as it happens, but you should try to make it happen the way you want to take it. +All I can say about life is, Oh God, enjoy it! +Real magic in relationships means an absence of judgement of others. +Problems are only opportunities with thorns on them. +He who knows himself is enlightened. +The minute you settle for less than you deserve, you get even less than you settled for. +I think and that is all that I am. +Fortune favours the brave. +A leader or a man of action in a crisis almost always acts subconsciously and then thinks of the reasons for his action. +Judge nothing, you will be happy. Forgive everything, you will be happier. Love everything, you will be happiest. +The secret of success is constancy to purpose. +Absence makes the heart grow fonder. +The best place to find a helping hand is at the end of your own arm. +The key to transforming our hearts and minds is to have an understanding of how our thoughts and emotions work. +I have no special talent. I am only passionately curious. +He who knows others is wise. He who knows himself is enlightened. +What matters is the value we've created in our lives, the people we've made happy and how much we've grown as people. +Self-complacency is fatal to progress. +Remember that failure is an event, not a person. +In the middle of every difficulty lies opportunity. +It is more important to know where you are going than to get there quickly. Do not mistake activity for achievement. +We are shaped by our thoughts; we become what we think. When the mind is pure, joy follows like a shadow that never leaves. +I'm not interested in age. People who tell me their age are silly. You're as old as you feel. +Nothing is softer or more flexible than water, yet nothing can resist it. +Yesterday I dared to struggle. Today I dare to win. +I'm a great believer in luck and I find the harder I work, the more I have of it. +If you look into your own heart, and you find nothing wrong there, what is there to worry about? What is there to fear? +I endeavour to be wise when I cannot be merry, easy when I cannot be glad, content with what cannot be mended and patient when there is no redress. +The shoe that fits one person pinches another; there is no recipe for living that suits all cases. +The world has the habit of making room for the man whose actions show that he knows where he is going. +You always succeed in producing a result. +You are the only person on earth who can use your ability. +To live a pure unselfish life, one must count nothing as ones own in the midst of abundance. +To be wrong is nothing unless you continue to remember it. +The happiness that is genuinely satisfying is accompanied by the fullest exercise of our faculties and the fullest realization of the world in which we live. +If we learn to open our hearts, anyone, including the people who drive us crazy, can be our teacher. +A man who doesn't trust himself can never really trust anyone else. +Without passion man is a mere latent force and possibility, like the flint which awaits the shock of the iron before it can give forth its spark. +Not every difficult and dangerous thing is suitable for training, but only that which is conducive to success in achieving the object of our effort. +It takes both sunshine and rain to make a rainbow. +An idea that is developed and put into action is more important than an idea that exists only as an idea. +You can do it if you believe you can! +Do not expect the world to look bright, if you habitually wear gray-brown glasses. +Change in all things is sweet. +They can do all because they think they can. +The two most powerful warriors are patience and time. +The height of your accomplishments will equal the depth of your convictions. +If you come to a fork in the road, take it. +Iron rusts from disuse; water loses its purity from stagnation... even so does inaction sap the vigour of the mind. +However many holy words you read, However many you speak, What good will they do you If you do not act on upon them? +You cannot be lonely if you like the person you're alone with. +Freedom is the right to live as we wish. +The truth of the matter is that you always know the right thing to do. The hard part is doing it. +Self-complacency is fatal to progress. +As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others. +If I am not for myself, who will be for me? If I am not for others, what am I? And if not now, when? +It has never been my object to record my dreams, just to realize them. +Wisdom begins in wonder. +We must never forget that it is through our actions, words, and thoughts that we have a choice. +He who experiences the unity of life sees his own Self in all beings, and all beings in his own Self, and looks on everything with an impartial eye. +When I dare to be powerful, to use my strength in the service of my vision, then it becomes less and less important whether I am afraid. +To give hope to someone occurs when you teach them how to use the tools to do it for themselves. +A life spent making mistakes is not only more honourable but more useful than a life spent in doing nothing. +We know what we are, but know not what we may be. +If you let go a little, you will have a little peace. If you let go a lot, you will have a lot of peace. +Some people thrive on huge, dramatic change. Some people prefer the slow and steady route. Do what's right for you. +What is a weed? A plant whose virtues have not yet been discovered. +To be wronged is nothing unless you continue to remember it. +Your destiny isn't just fate; it is how you use your own developed abilities to get what you want. +How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives. +To accomplish great things, we must dream as well as act. +If we did the things we are capable of, we would astound ourselves. +You are the only person on Earth who can use your ability. +Success is getting what you want. Happiness is wanting what you get. +Never idealize others. They will never live up to your expectations. +I cannot always control what goes on outside. But I can always control what goes on inside. +Those who will play with cats must expect to be scratched. +We can only be said to be alive in those moments when our hearts are conscious of our treasures. +Today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday. +Every gift from a friend is a wish for your happiness. +When performance exceeds ambition, the overlap is called success. +This is the final test of a gentleman: his respect for those who can be of no possible value to him. +We choose our destiny in the way we treat others. +Divide each difficulty into as many parts as is feasible and necessary to resolve it. +Only through our connectedness to others can we really know and enhance the self. And only through working on the self can we begin to enhance our connectedness to others. +When you discover your mission, you will feel its demand. It will fill you with enthusiasm and a burning desire to get to work on it. +You won't skid if you stay in a rut. +To listen well is as powerful a means of communication and influence as to talk well. +I am a man of fixed and unbending principles, the first of which is to be flexible at all times. +Do not give your attention to what others do or fail to do; give it to what you do or fail to do. +Well begun is half done. +The years teach much which the days never know. +Set your goals high, and don't stop till you get there. +What the caterpillar calls the end of the world, the master calls a butterfly. +An obstacle may be either a stepping stone or a stumbling block. +I am not afraid of tomorrow, for I have seen yesterday and I love today. +We know from science that nothing in the universe exists as an isolated or independent entity. +Each misfortune you encounter will carry in it the seed of tomorrows good luck. +If you want to study yourself — look into the hearts of other people. If you want to study other people — look into your own heart. +Your outlook on life is a direct reflection on how much you like yourself. +The place to improve the world is first in one's own heart and head and hands. +Conflict is the gadfly of thought. It stirs us to observation and memory. It instigates to invention. It shocks us out of sheeplike passivity, and sets us at noting and contriving. +Absence makes the heart grow fonder. +The highest stage in moral ure at which we can arrive is when we recognize that we ought to control our thoughts. +Learning without reflection is a waste, reflection without learning is dangerous. +Good timber does not grow with ease; the stronger the wind, the stronger the trees. +If we learn to open our hearts, anyone, including the people who drive us crazy, can be our teacher. +Happiness is a perfume you cannot pour on others without getting a few drops on yourself. +From error to error one discovers the entire truth. +Life is a gift, and it offers us the privilege, opportunity, and responsibility to give something back by becoming more +A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new. +We are shaped by our thoughts; we become what we think. When the mind is pure, joy follows like a shadow that never leaves. +We must learn our limits. We are all something, but none of us are everything. +If you get up one more time than you fall, you will make it through. +All great men are gifted with intuition. They know without reasoning or analysis, what they need to know. +Consider that not only do negative thoughts and emotions destroy our experience of peace, they also undermine our health. +To get the full value of joy you must have someone to divide it with. +Whenever you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth. +The mark of your ignorance is the depth of your belief in injustice and tragedy. What the caterpillar calls the end of the world, the Master calls the butterfly. +We never live; we are always in the expectation of living. +To be happy is to be able to become aware of oneself without fright. +Sometimes our fate resembles a fruit tree in winter. Who would think that those branches would turn green again and blossom, but we hope it, we know it. +We lost because we told ourselves we lost. +No pessimist ever discovered the secrets of the stars, or sailed to an uncharted land, or opened a new heaven to the human spirit. +It is more important to know where you are going than to get there quickly. Do not mistake activity for achievement. +We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing. +Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so. +Our passion is our strength. +You teach best what you most need to learn. +Worry gives a small thing a big shadow. +Fine words and an insinuating appearance are seldom associated with true virtue +You can do it if you believe you can! +No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted. +A man's dreams are an index to his greatness. +If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change. +A subtle thought that is in error may yet give rise to fruitful inquiry that can establish truths of great value. +You can't let praise or criticism get to you. It's a weakness to get caught up in either one. +Action may not always bring happiness, but there is no happiness without action. +In three words I can sum up everything Ive learned about life: it goes on. +Learn wisdom from the ways of a seedling. A seedling which is never hardened off through stressful situations will never become a strong productive plant. +A subtle thought that is in error may yet give rise to fruitful inquiry that can establish truths of great value. +Don't frown because you never know who is falling in love with your smile. +Without some goals and some efforts to reach it, no man can live. +He who knows, does not speak. He who speaks, does not know. +The only real valuable thing is intuition. +The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen, nor touched... but are felt in the heart. +Kindness in words creates confidence. Kindness in thinking creates profoundness. Kindness in giving creates love. +Do not wait for leaders; do it alone, person to person. +As the rest of the world is walking out the door, your best friends are the ones walking in. +With courage you will dare to take risks, have the strength to be compassionate, and the wisdom to be humble. Courage is the foundation of integrity. +Whatever happens, take responsibility. +Keep your eyes on the stars and your feet on the ground. +Any of us can achieve virtue, if by virtue we merely mean the avoidance of the vices that do not attract us. +Success is determined by those whom prove the impossible, possible. +We are all faced with a series of great opportunities brilliantly disguised as impossible situations. +A fine quotation is a diamond on the finger of a man of wit, and a pebble in the hand of a fool. +I do not believe in a fate that falls on men however they act; but I do believe in a fate that falls on man unless they act. +Worry often gives a small thing a big shadow. +We shall never know all the good that a simple smile can do. +The only real failure in life is not to be true to the best one knows. +Adversity isn't set against you to fail; adversity is a way to build your character so that you can succeed over and over again through perseverance. +Good advice is always certain to be ignored, but that's no reason not to give it. +God has given you one face, and you make yourself another. +Wherever a man turns he can find someone who needs him. +As the rest of the world is walking out the door, your best friends are the ones walking in. +The winner ain't the one with the fastest car it's the one who refuses to lose. +Be thankful when you don't know something for it gives you the opportunity to learn. +The best way out is always through. +Deep listening is miraculous for both listener and speaker.When someone receives us with open-hearted, non-judging, intensely interested listening, our spirits expand. +I am of the opinion that my life belongs to the community, and as long as I live it is my privilege to do for it whatever I can. +Spirituality can be severed from both vicious sectarianism and thoughtless banalities. Spirituality, I have come to see, is nothing less than the thoughtful love of life. +You are special, you are unique, you are the best! +Truth is powerful and it prevails. +When you learn, teach. When you get, give. +A man's dreams are an index to his greatness. +Efficiency is doing things right; effectiveness is doing the right things. +Truth is powerful and it prevails. +Through perseverance many people win success out of what seemed destined to be certain failure. +The wisest men follow their own direction. +You, yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection. +Think how hard physics would be if particles could think. +Before you put on a frown, make absolutely sure there are no smiles available. +It is with words as with sunbeams. The more they are condensed, the deeper they burn. +To follow, without halt, one aim: There is the secret of success. +In the sky, there is no distinction of east and west; people create distinctions out of their own minds and then believe them to be true. +Transformation does not start with some one else changing you; transformation is an inner self reworking of what you are now to what you will be. +The thing always happens that you really believe in; and the belief in a thing makes it happen. +If we learn to open our hearts, anyone, including the people who drive us crazy, can be our teacher. +If you kick a stone in anger, you'll hurt your own foot. +Let us revere, let us worship, but erect and open-eyed, the highest, not the lowest; the future, not the past! +Intuition will tell the thinking mind where to look next. +No one has a finer command of language than the person who keeps his mouth shut. +Through perseverance many people win success out of what seemed destined to be certain failure. +One needs something to believe in, something for which one can have whole-hearted enthusiasm. One needs to feel that ones life has meaning, that one is needed in this world. +The only person who never makes mistakes is the person who never does anything. +We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit. +Before you put on a frown, make absolutely sure there are no smiles available. +We cannot direct the wind but we can adjust the sails. +Ask yourself the secret of your success. Listen to your answer, and practice it. +Letting go isn’t the end of the world; it’s the beginning of a new life. +When you discover your mission, you will feel its demand. It will fill you with enthusiasm and a burning desire to get to work on it. +Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans. +If I could reach up and hold a star for every time you've made me smile, the entire evening sky would be in the palm of my hand. +Let go of your attachment to being right, and suddenly your mind is more open. You're able to benefit from the unique viewpoints of others, without being crippled by your own judgement. +Your work is to discover your world and then with all your heart give yourself to it. +When there is no enemy within, the enemies outside cannot hurt you. +Progress always involves risks. You can't steal second base and keep your foot on first. +Don't be pushed by your problems; be led by your dreams. +Trust your hunches. They're usually based on facts filed away just below the conscious level. +Truth is powerful and it prevails. +Discovery consists of seeing what everybody has seen and thinking what nobody else has thought. +If you wish to be a writer, write. +In seed time learn, in harvest teach, in winter enjoy. +Take heed: you do not find what you do not seek. +Kindness is the language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see. +When you realize there is nothing lacking, the whole world belongs to you. +The possession of knowledge does not kill the sense of wonder and mystery. There is always more mystery. +Trust only movement. Life happens at the level of events, not of words. Trust movement. +Knowledge rests not upon truth alone, but upon error also. +No man was ever wise by chance. +If you have knowledge, let others light their candles in it. +To get the full value of joy you must have someone to divide it with. +The superior man is satisfied and composed; the mean man is always full of distress. +It is impossible for a man to learn what he thinks he already knows. +Silence is deep as Eternity, Speech is shallow as Time. +If you find yourself in a hole, the first thing to do is stop digging. +Never deny a diagnosis, but do deny the negative verdict that may go with it. +When you see a good person, think of becoming like him. When you see someone not so good, reflect on your own weak points. +If we could learn to like ourselves, even a little, maybe our cruelties and angers might melt away. +I have no special talent. I am only passionately curious. +You will not be punished for your anger, you will be punished by your anger. +It isn't where you come from, it's where you're going that counts. +Those who will play with cats must expect to be scratched. +Action is the foundational key to all success. +To be able to give away riches is mandatory if you wish to possess them. This is the only way that you will be truly rich. +To make no mistakes is not in the power of man; but from their errors and mistakes the wise and good learn wisdom for the future. +To see things in the seed, that is genius. +Adversity has the effect of eliciting talents, which in prosperous circumstances would have lain dormant. +I am not bothered by the fact that I am unknown. I am bothered when I do not know others. +To give hope to someone occurs when you teach them how to use the tools to do it for themselves. +Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned. +Don't smother each other. No one can grow in the shade. +When you are content to be simply yourself and don't compare or compete, everybody will respect you. +Sooner or later, those who win are those who think they can. +True happiness means forging a strong spirit that is undefeated, no matter how trying our circumstances. +Every time you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing. +I think you can have moderate success by copying something else, but if you really want to knock it out of the park, you have to do something different and take chances. +Giving up doesn't always mean you are weak; sometimes it means that you are strong enough to let go. +Never miss an opportunity to make others happy, even if you have to leave them alone in order to do it. +I am always doing that which I cannot do, in order that I may learn how to do it. +To free us from the expectations of others, to give us back to ourselves — there lies the great, singular power of self-respect. +He who controls others may be powerful, but he who has mastered himself is mightier still. +Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony. +When you have got an elephant by the hind legs and he is trying to run away, it's best to let him run. +Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth. +To effectively communicate, we must realize that we are all different in the way we perceive the world and use this understanding as a guide to our communication with others. +Six essential qualities that are the key to success: Sincerity, personal integrity, humility, courtesy, wisdom, charity. +People are so constituted that everybody would rather undertake what they see others do, whether they have an aptitude for it or not. +Goals are the fuel in the furnace of achievement. +Through perseverance many people win success out of what seemed destined to be certain failure. +Happiness cannot be travelled to, owned, earned, worn or consumed. Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace and gratitude. +Be miserable. Or motivate yourself. Whatever has to be done, it's always your choice. +By accepting yourself and being fully what you are, your presence can make others happy. +A goal without a plan is just a wish. +A man of ability and the desire to accomplish something can do anything. +It's important to know that words don't move mountains. Work, exacting work moves mountains. +If you are patient in one moment of anger, you will escape one hundred days of sorrow. +Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere. +I am of the opinion that my life belongs to the community, and as long as I live it is my privilege to do for it whatever I can. +No yesterdays are ever wasted for those who give themselves to today. +However many holy words you read, however many you speak, what good will they do you if you do not act on upon them? +Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower. +There are no failures — just experiences and your reactions to them. +Transformation does not start with some one else changing you; transformation is an inner self reworking of what you are now to what you will be. +From small beginnings come great things. +Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless. +Knowing your own darkness is the best method for dealing with the darknesses of other people. +I have an everyday religion that works for me. Love yourself first, and everything else falls into line. +Well done is better than well said. +Be sure you put your feet in the right place, then stand firm. +Learn all you can from the mistakes of others. You won't have time to make them all yourself. +Flow with whatever is happening and let your mind be free. Stay centred by accepting whatever you are doing. This is the ultimate. +Nothing could be worse than the fear that one had given up too soon, and left one unexpended effort that might have saved the world. +I never worry about action, but only inaction. +Respect is not something that you can ask for, buy or borrow. Respect is what you earn from each person no matter their background or status. +Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones weve been waiting for. We are the change that we seek. +The energy of the mind is the essence of life. +We all have problems. The way we solve them is what makes us different. +The man who trusts men will make fewer mistakes than he who distrusts them. +Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues, but the paren't of all the others. +To be happy is to be able to become aware of oneself without fright. +Failure will never overtake me if my determination to succeed is strong enough. +In skating over thin ice our safety is in our speed. +I'm not interested in age. People who tell me their age are silly. You're as old as you feel. +Kindness is the greatest wisdom. +To bring anything into your life, imagine that it's already there. +What you give is what you get. +The person who lives life fully, glowing with life's energy, is the person who lives a successful life. +We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit. +Let us revere, let us worship, but erect and open-eyed, the highest, not the lowest; the future, not the past! +The secret of success is constancy to purpose. +Our intention creates our reality. +With every experience, you alone are painting your own canvas, thought by thought, choice by choice. +The best place to find a helping hand is at the end of your own arm. +Man cannot discover new oceans unless he has the courage to lose sight of the shore. +Reviewing what you have learned and learning anew, you are fit to be a teacher. +Begin, be bold, and venture to be wise. +The first step to getting the things you want out of life is this: decide what you want. +There are people who have money and people who are rich. +While we stop to think, we often miss our opportunity. +The trouble with most people is that they think with their hopes or fears or wishes rather than with their minds. +You only lose what you cling to. +You give before you get. +Do good by stealth, and blush to find it fame. +Opportunity often comes disguised in the form of misfortune, or temporary defeat. +Most great people have attained their greatest success just one step beyond their greatest failure. +The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong. +Success means having the courage, the determination, and the will to become the person you believe you were meant to be. +We are either progressing or retrograding all the while. There is no such thing as remaining stationary in this life. +Action will remove the doubts that theory cannot solve. +Adversity isn't set against you to fail; adversity is a way to build your character so that you can succeed over and over again through perseverance. +Why worry about things you can’t control when you can keep yourself busy controlling the things that depend on you? +Spring is a time for rebirth and the fulfilment of new life. +In the end we retain from our studies only that which we practically apply. +Only do what your heart tells you. +Responsibility is not inherited, it is a choice that everyone needs to make at some point in their life. +You cannot have what you do not want. +Great acts are made up of small deeds. +An optimist is a person who sees a green light everywhere, while the pessimist sees only the red spotlight... The truly wise person is colour-blind. +Always seek out the seed of triumph in every adversity. +Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach him how to fish and you feed him for a lifetime. +You must welcome change as the rule but not as your ruler. +Allow the world to live as it chooses, and allow yourself to live as you choose. +When you come to the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on. +The more you care, the stronger you can be. +Do not give your attention to what others do or fail to do; give it to what you do or fail to do. +Don't miss all the beautiful colors of the rainbow looking for that pot of gold. +If you love someone, set them free. If they come back they're yours; if they don't they never were. +Don't be dismayed by good-byes. A farewell is necessary before you can meet again. And meeting again, after moments or lifetimes, is certain for those who are friends. +Real magic in relationships means an absence of judgement of others. +He who knows, does not speak. He who speaks, does not know. +To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe. +When I dare to be powerful, to use my strength in the service of my vision, then it becomes less and less important whether I am afraid. +Imagination is not a talent of some men but is the health of every man. +If the shoe doesn't fit, must we change the foot? +Through pride we are ever deceiving ourselves. But deep down below the surface of the average conscience a still, small voice says to us, Something is out of tune. +Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will. +To be upset over what you don't have is to waste what you do have. +He that respects himself is safe from others; he wears a coat of mail that none can pierce. +It is better to travel well than to arrive. +A dream is your creative vision for your life in the future. You must break out of your current comfort zone and become comfortable with the unfamiliar and the unknown. +Nothing is softer or more flexible than water, yet nothing can resist it. +A smile is a light in the window of your face to show your heart is at home. +Time you enjoyed wasting was not wasted. +Give whatever you are doing and whoever you are with the gift of your attention. +A wise man will make more opportunities than he finds. +Always be yourself, express yourself, have faith in yourself, do not go out and look for a successful personality and duplicate it. +If one advances confidently in the direction of his dream, and endeavours to live the life which he had imagines, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours. +Our kindness may be the most persuasive argument for that which we believe. +To climb steep hills requires a slow pace at first. +Talk doesn't cook rice. +If you light a lamp for somebody, it will also brighten your path. +Everything you are against weakens you. Everything you are for empowers you. +There is nothing so useless as doing efficiently that which should not be done at all. +Everyone smiles in the same language. +A good rest is half the work. +God has given you one face, and you make yourself another. +Not every difficult and dangerous thing is suitable for training, but only that which is conducive to success in achieving the object of our effort. +Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. And today? Today is a gift that's why they call it the present. +Your ability to learn faster than your competition is your only sustainable competitive advantage. +When deeds speak, words are nothing. +The self is not something ready-made, but something in continuous formation through choice of action. +If you love someone, set them free. If they come back they're yours; if they don't they never were. +Trust your own instinct. Your mistakes might as well be your own, instead of someone elses. +Only those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly. +Whatever we expect with confidence becomes our own self-fulfilling prophecy. +Be the change that you want to see in the world. +Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so. +Smile, breathe, and go slowly. +Consider how hard it is to change yourself and you'll understand what little chance you have in trying to change others. +He that never changes his opinions, never corrects his mistakes, and will never be wiser on the morrow than he is today. +Life's challenges are not supposed to paralyze you, they're supposed to help you discover who you are. +Arriving at one point is the starting point to another. +Character is like a tree and reputation like a shadow. The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing. +Whoever is happy will make others happy, too. +The pessimist sees difficulty in every opportunity. The optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty. +Many people think of prosperity that concerns money only to forget that true prosperity is of the mind. +The difficulties of life are intended to make us better, not bitter. +Slow down and enjoy life. It's not only the scenery you miss by going too fast — you also miss the sense of where you are going and why. +What the caterpillar calls the end of the world, the master calls a butterfly. +When one tugs at a single thing in nature, he finds it attached to the rest of the world. +We can do no great things, only small things with great love. +The most dangerous way to lose time is not to spend it having fun, but to spend it doing fake work. When you spend time having fun, you know you're being self-indulgent. +Let go of your attachment to being right, and suddenly your mind is more open. You're able to benefit from the unique viewpoints of others, without being crippled by your own judgement. +Begin to weave and God will give you the thread. +Knowledge has three degrees — opinion, science, illumination. The means or instrument of the first is sense; of the second, dialectic; of the third, intuition. +Impossibilities are merely things which we have not yet learned. +Don't be pushed by your problems; be led by your dreams. +For every failure, there's an alternative course of action. You just have to find it. When you come to a roadblock, take a detour. +To keep the body in good health is a duty... otherwise we shall not be able to keep our mind strong and clear. +Life is what happens while you are making other plans. +Science is organized knowledge. Wisdom is organized life. +The greatest antidote to insecurity and the sense of fear is compassion — it brings one back to the basis of one's inner strength +Courage is the discovery that you may not win, and trying when you know you can lose. +To know oneself is to study oneself in action with another person. +Many people think of prosperity that concerns money only to forget that true prosperity is of the mind. +When you are offended at any man's fault, turn to yourself and study your own failings. Then you will forget your anger. +I seek constantly to improve my manners and graces, for they are the sugar to which all are attracted. +From error to error one discovers the entire truth. +We can only be said to be alive in those moments when our hearts are conscious of our treasures. +As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them. +Faith in oneself is the best and safest course. +The minute you settle for less than you deserve, you get even less than you settled for. +All great achievements require time. +Miracles come in moments. Be ready and willing. +We could never learn to be brave and patient if there were only joy in the world. +One today is worth two tomorrows. +Meditation is the dissolution of thoughts in eternal awareness or Pure consciousness without objectification, knowing without thinking, merging finitude in infinity. +For every failure, there's an alternative course of action. You just have to find it. When you come to a roadblock, take a detour. +Be a good listener. Your ears will never get you in trouble. +If you kick a stone in anger, you'll hurt your own foot. +Never miss an opportunity to make others happy, even if you have to leave them alone in order to do it. +A stumble may prevent a fall. +Never regret. If it's good, it's wonderful. If it's bad, it's experience. +Good luck is another name for tenacity of purpose. +Better than a thousand hollow words, is one word that brings peace. +Our greatness lies not so much in being able to remake the world as being able to remake ourselves. +The only thing to do with good advice is to pass it on. It is never of any use to oneself. +The way we communicate with others and with ourselves ultimately determines the quality of our lives. +We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit. +Skill to do comes of doing. +The best place to find a helping hand is at the end of your own arm. +Meaning is not what you start with but what you end up with. +Numberless are the worlds wonders, but none more wonderful than man. +Either you run the day or the day runs you. +No one saves us but ourselves. No one can and no one may. We ourselves must walk the path. +Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap but by the seeds you plant. +Once we accept our limits, we go beyond them. +Formula for success: under promise and over deliver. +Every artist dips his brush in his own soul, and paints his own nature into his pictures. +If I am not for myself, who will be for me? If I am not for others, what am I? And if not now, when? +Nothing in life is to be feared. It is only to be understood. +One who gains strength by overcoming obstacles possesses the only strength which can overcome adversity. +Time you enjoy wasting, was not wasted. +Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself. +In the depth of winter, I finally learned that there was within me an invincible summer. +Happiness cannot be travelled to, owned, earned, worn or consumed. Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace and gratitude. +The more you care, the stronger you can be. +Failure doesn't mean you are a failure it just means you haven't succeeded yet. +Sometimes the most important thing in a whole day is the rest we take between two deep breaths. +Life's challenges are not supposed to paralyze you, they're supposed to help you discover who you are. +With courage you will dare to take risks, have the strength to be compassionate, and the wisdom to be humble. Courage is the foundation of integrity. +To want to be what one can be is purpose in life. +The important thing is this: to be able at any moment to sacrifice what we are for what we could become. +Fortune befriends the bold. +As we grow as unique persons, we learn to respect the uniqueness of others. +Love is the master key that opens the gates of happiness. +So is cheerfulness, or a good temper, the more it is spent, the more remains. +Reality leaves a lot to the imagination. +A man of ability and the desire to accomplish something can do anything. +Everything in the universe goes by indirection. There are no straight lines. +The greatest part of our happiness depends on our dispositions, not our circumstances. +You have to take it as it happens, but you should try to make it happen the way you want to take it. +I know but one freedom and that is the freedom of the mind. +Change your words. Change your world. +The key to growth is the introduction of higher dimensions of consciousness into our awareness. +The most successful people are those who are good at plan B. +Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity. +The highest stage in moral ure at which we can arrive is when we recognize that we ought to control our thoughts. +Staying in one place is the best path to be taken over and surpassed by many. +The road leading to a goal does not separate you from the destination; it is essentially a part of it. +A man should look for what is, and not for what he thinks should be. +You are the only person on earth who can use your ability. +You are always free to change your mind and choose a different future, or a different past. +One must be fond of people and trust them if one is not to make a mess of life. +The true way to render ourselves happy is to love our work and find in it our pleasure. +Fortune befriends the bold. +Let the future tell the truth, and evaluate each one according to his work and accomplishments. The present is theirs; the future, for which I have really worked, is mine. +Worry gives a small thing a big shadow. +Those who are blessed with the most talent don't necessarily outperform everyone else. It's the people with follow-through who excel. +An obstacle may be either a stepping stone or a stumbling block. +The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong. +We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them. +We can only be said to be alive in those moments when our hearts are conscious of our treasures. +I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand. +Men in general judge more from appearances than from reality. All men have eyes, but few have the gift of penetration. +Difficulties are things that show a person what they are. +Nature takes away any faculty that is not used. +It is not enough to have a good mind; the main thing is to use it well. +Wit lies in recognizing the resemblance among things which differ and the difference between things which are alike. +One secret of success in life is for a man to be ready for his opportunity when it comes. +The secret of success is constancy to purpose. +To succeed, we must first believe that we can. +When you judge another, you do not define them, you define yourself. +Be thankful when you don't know something for it gives you the opportunity to learn. +Any of us can achieve virtue, if by virtue we merely mean the avoidance of the vices that do not attract us. +If you don't go after what you want, you'll never have it. If you don't ask, the answer is always no. If you don't step forward, you're always in the same place. +When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive — to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love. +The greatest danger for most of us is not that our aim is too high and we miss it, but that it is too low and we reach it. +Imagination is more important than knowledge. For while knowledge defines all we currently know and understand, imagination points to all we might yet discover and create. +A subtle thought that is in error may yet give rise to fruitful inquiry that can establish truths of great value. +You give before you get. +Make the most of yourself for that is all there is of you. +Those who are free of resentful thoughts surely find peace. +Think for yourselves and let others enjoy the privilege to do so too. +If you propose to speak, always ask yourself, is it true, is it necessary, is it kind. +The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step. +The least of things with a meaning is worth more in life than the greatest of things without it. +The only way to tell the truth is to speak with kindness. Only the words of a loving man can be heard. +Constant kindness can accomplish much. As the sun makes ice melt, kindness causes misunderstanding, mistrust, and hostility to evaporate. +You block your dream when you allow your fear to grow bigger than your faith. +I never worry about action, but only inaction. +The final proof of greatness lies in being able to endure criticism without resentment. +Take it easy — but take it. +If you want a thing done well, do it yourself. +The past has no power to stop you from being present now. Only your grievance about the past can do that. +Aim for success, not perfection. Never give up your right to be wrong, because then you will lose the ability to learn new things and move forward with your life. +We are not animals. We are not a product of what has happened to us in our past. We have the power of choice. +Don't leave a stone unturned. It's always something, to know you have done the most you could. +Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. And today? Today is a gift that's why they call it the present. +Argue for your limitations, and sure enough they're yours. +If you look into your own heart, and you find nothing wrong there, what is there to worry about? What is there to fear? +Every person, all the events of your life are there because you have drawn them there. What you choose to do with them is up to you. +He who deliberates fully before taking a step will spend his entire life on one leg. +Wisdom is the supreme part of happiness. +Every problem has a gift for you in its hands. +A good plan today is better than a perfect plan tomorrow. +If you have knowledge, let others light their candles in it. +The grand essentials of happiness are: something to do, something to love, and something to hope for. +A stumble may prevent a fall. +He who wishes to secure the good of others, has already secured his own. +It is not enough to have a good mind; the main thing is to use it well. +We are all faced with a series of great opportunities brilliantly disguised as impossible situations. +We aim above the mark to hit the mark. +Whenever something negative happens to you, there is a deep lesson concealed within it. +I think somehow we learn who we really are and then live with that decision. +To give ones self earnestly to the duties due to men, and, while respecting spiritual beings, to keep aloof from them, may be called wisdom. +Good timber does not grow with ease; the stronger the wind, the stronger the trees. +Your friends will know you better in the first minute you meet than your acquaintances will know you in a thousand years. +If one is lucky, a solitary fantasy can totally transform one million realities. +Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any one thing. +Friendship isn't a big thing. It's a million little things. +Wise men talk because they have something to say; fools, because they have to say something. +We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing. +The time you think you're missing, misses you too. +The thought manifests as the word. The word manifests as the deed. The deed develops into habit. And the habit hardens into character. +Money was never a big motivation for me, except as a way to keep score. The real excitement is playing the game. +There are two primary choices in life: to accept conditions as they exist, or accept the responsibility for changing them. +To climb steep hills requires a slow pace at first. +If the shoe doesn't fit, must we change the foot? +There is no duty we so underrate as the duty of being happy. By being happy we sow anonymous benefits upon the world. +You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life. +Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated. +Nobody made a greater mistake than he who did nothing because he could do only a little. +Action will remove the doubts that theory cannot solve. +The universe is made of stories, not atoms. +With courage you will dare to take risks, have the strength to be compassionate, and the wisdom to be humble. Courage is the foundation of integrity. +A man is not where he lives but where he loves. +You can't shake hands with a clenched fist. +The future is an opaque mirror. Anyone who tries to look into it sees nothing but the dim outlines of an old and worried face. +Sometimes the most important thing in a whole day is the rest we take between two deep breaths. +Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to a better understanding of ourselves. +Great acts are made up of small deeds. +Many people have gone further than they thought they could because someone else thought they could. +The truth which has made us free will in the end make us glad also. +He who lives in harmony with himself lives in harmony with the universe. +Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. And today? Today is a gift that's why they call it the present. +Kind words do not cost much. Yet they accomplish much. +We do not quit playing because we grow old, we grow old because we quit playing. +We do not quit playing because we grow old, we grow old because we quit playing. +Take rest; a field that has rested gives a bountiful crop. +Doing what you love is the cornerstone of having abundance in your life. +Action may not always bring happiness; but there is no happiness without action. +The years teach much which the days never know. +Without some goals and some efforts to reach it, no man can live. +Positive thinking will let you do everything better than negative thinking will. +No pessimist ever discovered the secrets of the stars, or sailed to an uncharted land, or opened a new heaven to the human spirit. +Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment. +We must not allow ourselves to become like the system we oppose. +Friends are those rare people who ask how we are and then wait to hear the answer. +The most formidable weapon against errors of every kind is reason. +I am always doing that which I can not do, in order that I may learn how to do it. +In order to win, you must expect to win. +Why compare yourself with others? No one in the entire world can do a better job of being you than you. +Learn to listen. Opportunity could be knocking at your door very softly. +Never say there is nothing beautiful in the world any more. There is always something to make you wonder in the shape of a tree, the trembling of a leaf. +A weed is no more than a flower in disguise. +Treat people as if they were what they ought to be and you help them to become what they are capable of being. +Anyone who doesn't take truth seriously in small matters cannot be trusted in large ones either. +Mediocrity knows nothing higher than itself, but talent instantly recognizes genius. +Beware of the half truth. You may have gotten hold of the wrong half. +At the center of your being you have the answer; you know who you are and you know what you want. +Imagination rules the world. +The only real mistake is the one from which we learn nothing. +Most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be. +If you can't feed a hundred people, then feed just one. +The heart has its reasons which reason knows not of. +Sincerity is the way of Heaven. The attainment of sincerity is the way of men. +Be as you wish to seem. +The greatest mistake you can make in life is to be continually fearing you will make one. +A leader is best when people barely know he exists, when his work is done, his aim fulfilled, they will say: we did it ourselves. +Wicked people are always surprised to find ability in those that are good. +Do what you can. Want what you have. Be who you are. +The less effort, the faster and more powerful you will be. +The free man is he who does not fear to go to the end of his thought. +People seldom notice old clothes if you wear a big smile. +Rainbows apologize for angry skies. +People may doubt what you say, but they will believe what you do. +All perceiving is also thinking, all reasoning is also intuition, all observation is also invention. +Never idealize others. They will never live up to your expectations. +Iron rusts from disuse; water loses its purity from stagnation... even so does inaction sap the vigour of the mind. +No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted. +The best cure for the body is a quiet mind. +Listen to your intuition. It will tell you everything you need to know. +Do not be embarrassed by your mistakes. Nothing can teach us better than our understanding of them. This is one of the best ways of self-education. +Nothing is softer or more flexible than water, yet nothing can resist it. +What the caterpillar calls the end of the world, the master calls a butterfly. +I am of the opinion that my life belongs to the community, and as long as I live it is my privilege to do for it whatever I can. +Translation is the paradigm, the exemplar of all writing. It is translation that demonstrates most vividly the yearning for transformation that underlies every act involving speech, that supremely human gift. +The right way is not always the popular and easy way. Standing for right when it is unpopular is a true test of moral character. +The past has no power to stop you from being present now. Only your grievance about the past can do that. +A really great talent finds its happiness in execution. +Take things as they are. Punch when you have to punch. Kick when you have to kick. +Promises are the uniquely human way of ordering the future, making it predictable and reliable to the extent that this is humanly possible. +If you can dream it, you can do it. +The key to transforming our hearts and minds is to have an understanding of how our thoughts and emotions work. +Men of perverse opinion do not know the excellence of what is in their hands, till some one dash it from them. +Let us revere, let us worship, but erect and open-eyed, the highest, not the lowest; the future, not the past! +In the depth of winter, I finally learned that there was within me an invincible summer. +If A is success in life, then A equals x plus y plus z. Work is x; y is play; and z is keeping your mouth shut. +A man sees in the world what he carries in his heart. +As we risk ourselves, we grow. Each new experience is a risk. +I have never been hurt by anything I didn't say. +The dream was always running ahead of me. To catch up, to live for a moment in unison with it, that was the miracle. +Real success is finding your lifework in the work that you love. +The most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart. +Opportunity often comes disguised in the form of misfortune, or temporary defeat. +Be not angry that you cannot make others as you wish them to be, since you cannot make yourself as you wish to be. +Nothing is predestined: The obstacles of your past can become the gateways that lead to new beginnings. +Appreciation is the highest form of prayer, for it acknowledges the presence of good wherever you shine the light of your thankful thoughts. +Sadness flies away on the wings of time. +Man cannot discover new oceans unless he has the courage to lose sight of the shore. +Why worry about tomorrow, when today is all we have? +As you think, so shall you become. +Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless. +Most smiles are started by another smile. +You can't create in a vacuum. Life gives you the material and dreams can propel new beginnings. +Cherish your visions and your dreams as they are the children of your soul; the blueprints of your ultimate achievements. +A man who doesn't trust himself can never really trust anyone else. +Adversity causes some men to break, others to break records. +When your desires are strong enough you will appear to possess superhuman powers to achieve. +Just trust yourself, then you will know how to live. +Whenever something negative happens to you, there is a deep lesson concealed within it. +It is with words as with sunbeams. The more they are condensed, the deeper they burn. +It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it. +The greatest mistake you can make in life is to be continually fearing you will make one. +A short saying oft contains much wisdom. +The superior man is modest in his speech, but exceeds in his actions. +Our deepest wishes are whispers of our authentic selves. We must learn to respect them. We must learn to listen. +I will not be concerned at other men is not knowing me;I will be concerned at my own want of ability. +Your work is to discover your world and then with all your heart give yourself to it. +Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself, in your way of thinking. +Change your words. Change your world. +Take it easy — but take it. +Every adversity, every failure, every heartache carries with it the seed of an equal or greater benefit. +The universe is transformation; our life is what our thoughts make it. +Be your own hero, it's cheaper than a movie ticket. +The Superior Man is aware of Righteousness, the inferior man is aware of advantage. +Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues, but the paren't of all the others. +Goals are the fuel in the furnace of achievement. +You are the only person on Earth who can use your ability. +They say that time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself. +A true friend is the most precious of all possessions and the one we take the least thought about acquiring. +We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts, we make the world. +Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen. +A man of ability and the desire to accomplish something can do anything. +If you seek truth you will not seek victory by dishonourable means, and if you find truth you will become invincible. +Reason and free inquiry are the only effectual agents against error. +The best teacher is experience learned from failures. +Everyone should carefully observe which way his heart draws him, and then choose that way with all his strength. +Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world. +Never miss an opportunity to make others happy, even if you have to leave them alone in order to do it. +A smile is a light in the window of your face to show your heart is at home. +I have just three things to teach: simplicity, patience, compassion. These three are your greatest treasures. +An invincible determination can accomplish almost anything and in this lies the great distinction between great men and little men. +All that we are is the result of what we have thought. The mind is everything. What we think we become. +A lot of people give up just before theyre about to make it. You know you never know when that next obstacle is going to be the last one. +If you are going to achieve excellence in big things, you develop the habit in little matters. Excellence is not an exception, it is a prevailing attitude. +People may doubt what you say, but they will believe what you do. +A bend in the road is not the end of the road...unless you fail to make the turn. +When you judge another, you do not define them, you define yourself. +Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will. +The universe is full of magical things, patiently waiting for our wits to grow sharper. +Speak low, if you speak love. +The industrial landscape is already littered with remains of once successful companies that could not adapt their strategic vision to altered conditions of competition. +We must not allow ourselves to become like the system we oppose. +Change your thoughts, change your life! +When performance exceeds ambition, the overlap is called success. +To fly, we have to have resistance. +To be thoughtful and kind only takes a few seconds compared to the timeless hurt caused by one rude gesture. +All our knowledge has its origins in our perceptions. +Gratitude is the fairest blossom which springs from the soul. +A good rest is half the work. +Tension is who you think you should be. Relaxation is who you are. +Anything you really want, you can attain, if you really go after it. +A leader or a man of action in a crisis almost always acts subconsciously and then thinks of the reasons for his action. +Thousands of candles can be lit from a single, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared. +Let the beauty of what you love be what you do. +Ask yourself the secret of your success. Listen to your answer, and practice it. +The truth which has made us free will in the end make us glad also. +Chaos is inherent in all compounded things. Strive on with diligence. +Action is the foundational key to all success. +We must not say every mistake is a foolish one. +Ability will never catch up with the demand for it. +I want you to be everything that's you, deep at the center of your being. +Love is the master key that opens the gates of happiness. +From error to error one discovers the entire truth. +It isn't where you come from, it's where you're going that counts. +Speak when you are angry and you will make the best speech you will ever regret. +A thing long expected takes the form of the unexpected when at last it comes. +I know but one freedom and that is the freedom of the mind. +The only difference between your abilities and others is the ability to put yourself in their shoes and actually try. +Our strength grows out of our weaknesses. +You teach best what you most need to learn. +As we grow as unique persons, we learn to respect the uniqueness of others. +If I am not for myself, who will be for me? If I am not for others, what am I? And if not now, when? +Man cannot discover new oceans unless he has the courage to lose sight of the shore. +In separateness lies the world's great misery, in compassion lies the world's true strength. +If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough. +Most smiles are started by another smile. +Example has more followers than reason. +Happiness does not come from having much, but from being attached to little. +You must train your intuition — you must trust the small voice inside you which tells you exactly what to say, what to decide. +Time changes everything except something within us which is always surprised by change. +Nothing is so strong as gentleness. Nothing is so gentle as real strength. +Blessed is the man who expects nothing, for he shall never be disappointed. +The real measure of your wealth is how much youd be worth if you lost all your money. +Trust your hunches. They're usually based on facts filed away just below the conscious level. +Wherever a man turns he can find someone who needs him. +The universe is full of magical things, patiently waiting for our wits to grow sharper. +Never tell me the sky’s the limit when there are footprints on the moon. +Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible. +Don't wait for your feelings to change to take the action. Take the action and your feelings will change. +It is impossible for a man to learn what he thinks he already knows. +Success is getting what you want. Happiness is wanting what you get. +One that desires to excel should endeavour in those things that are in themselves most excellent. +If you have made mistakes, there is always another chance for you. You may have a fresh start any moment you choose. +The greatest mistake you can make in life is to be continually fearing you will make one. +Imagination is the living power and prime agent of all human perception. +My mama always said: life's like a box of chocolate — you never know what you gonna get. +The only Zen you find on the tops of mountains is the Zen you bring up there. +Yeah we all shine on, like the moon, and the stars, and the sun. +The thing always happens that you really believe in; and the belief in a thing makes it happen. +Nature gave us one tongue and two ears so we could hear twice as much as we speak. +The only limit to our realization of tomorrow will be our doubts of today. +Appreciation can make a day, even change a life. Your willingness to put it into words is all that is necessary. +A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new. +When you are content to be simply yourself and don't compare or compete, everybody will respect you. +There is no way to prosperity, prosperity is the way. +We are not animals. We are not a product of what has happened to us in our past. We have the power of choice. +Life is not measured by the breaths you take, but by its breathtaking moments. +If I know what love is, it is because of you. +The less effort, the faster and more powerful you will be. +Every new day is another chance to change your life. +To keep the body in good health is a duty... otherwise we shall not be able to keep our mind strong and clear. +It isn't where you come from, it's where you're going that counts. +The winner ain't the one with the fastest car it's the one who refuses to lose. +Talk doesn't cook rice. +To be thoughtful and kind only takes a few seconds compared to the timeless hurt caused by one rude gesture. +Prejudice is a burden that confuses the past, threatens the future and renders the present inaccessible. +Gratitude is riches. Complaint is poverty. +One must be fond of people and trust them if one is not to make a mess of life. +Rather than wishing for change, you first must be prepared to change. +Setting goals is the first step in turning the invisible into the visible. +For everything that lives is holy, life delights in life. +By accepting yourself and being fully what you are, your presence can make others happy. +Flow with whatever is happening and let your mind be free. Stay centred by accepting whatever you are doing. This is the ultimate. +The best thing in every noble dream is the dreamer... +There is nothing in a caterpillar that tells you it's going to be a butterfly. +Do not give your attention to what others do or fail to do; give it to what you do or fail to do. +Success means having the courage, the determination, and the will to become the person you believe you were meant to be. +Sadness may be part of life but there is no need to let it dominate your entire life. +The only real mistake is the one from which we learn nothing. +Myths which are believed in tend to become true. +Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself. +Strong people make as many mistakes as weak people. Difference is that strong people admit their mistakes, laugh at them, learn from them. That is how they become strong. +The superior man acts before he speaks, and afterwards speaks according to his action. +Well done is better than well said. +I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand. +Life is a learning experience, only if you learn. +Argue for your limitations, and sure enough they're yours. +No man can succeed in a line of endeavor which he does not like. +Though no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending. +In rivers, the water that you touch is the last of what has passed and the first of that which comes; so with present time. +If you're in a bad situation, don't worry it'll change. If you're in a good situation, don't worry it'll change. +Love is just a word until someone comes along and gives it meaning. +I know but one freedom and that is the freedom of the mind. +Action will remove the doubts that theory cannot solve. +Don't leave a stone unturned. It's always something, to know you have done the most you could. +Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world. +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. +If you're in a bad situation, don't worry it'll change. If you're in a good situation, don't worry it'll change. +Most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be. +The greatest way to live with honor in this world is to be what we pretend to be. +Kindness is the greatest wisdom. +To know your purpose is to live a life of direction, and in that direction is found peace and tranquillity. +The past has no power to stop you from being present now. Only your grievance about the past can do that. +If you would take, you must first give, this is the beginning of intelligence. +Imagination disposes of everything; it creates beauty, justice, and happiness, which are everything in this world. +I will not be concerned at other men is not knowing me;I will be concerned at my own want of ability. +If A is success in life, then A equals x plus y plus z. Work is x; y is play; and z is keeping your mouth shut. +Our intention creates our reality. +The most precious gift we can offer anyone is our attention. When mindfulness embraces those we love, they will bloom like flowers. +Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap but by the seeds that you plant. +When the solution is simple, God is answering. +The doors we open and close each day decide the lives we live. +Life is just a chance to grow a soul. +He who obtains has little. He who scatters has much. +If you spend too much time thinking about a thing, you'll never get it done. +Those who are free of resentful thoughts surely find peace. +All men have a sweetness in their life. That is what helps them go on. It is towards that they turn when they feel too worn out. +Wisdom is the reward you get for a lifetime of listening when you'd have preferred to talk. +The odds of hitting your target go up dramatically when you aim at it. +Fear is a darkroom where negatives develop. +Your work is to discover your work and then with all your heart to give yourself to it. +Do not be embarrassed by your mistakes. Nothing can teach us better than our understanding of them. This is one of the best ways of self-education. +From wonder into wonder existence opens. +Liberty, taking the word in its concrete sense, consists in the ability to choose. +He who lives in harmony with himself lives in harmony with the universe. +You can stand tall without standing on someone. You can be a victor without having victims. +I believe that we are fundamentally the same and have the same basic potential. +If you cannot do great things, do small things in a great way. +Neither genius, fame, nor love show the greatness of the soul. Only kindness can do that. +I believe in one thing only, the power of human will. +You can't choose up sides on a round world. +Excellence is not a skill. It is an attitude. +It's not what happens to you, but how you react to it that matters. +Bad times have a scientific value. These are occasions a good learner would not miss. +Though no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending. +Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance you must keep moving. +It's not who you are that holds you back, it's who you think you're not. +A subtle thought that is in error may yet give rise to fruitful inquiry that can establish truths of great value. +Miracles come in moments. Be ready and willing. +Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to a better understanding of ourselves. +The deepest craving of human nature is the need to be appreciated. +The free man is he who does not fear to go to the end of his thought. +All children are artists. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up. +You can do it if you believe you can! +Each time we face a fear, we gain strength, courage, and confidence in the doing. +I seek constantly to improve my manners and graces, for they are the sugar to which all are attracted. +There never was a good knife made of bad steel. +Either I will find a way, or I will make one. +Learn all you can from the mistakes of others. You won't have time to make them all yourself. +I am glad that I paid so little attention to good advice; had I abided by it I might have been saved from some of my most valuable mistakes. +There are two kinds of failures: those who thought and never did, and those who did and never thought. +Take no thought of who is right or wrong or who is better than. Be not for or against. +Argue for your limitations, and sure enough theyre yours. +Good people are good because they've come to wisdom through failure. We get very little wisdom from success, you know. +Love is the master key that opens the gates of happiness. +Neither a lofty degree of intelligence nor imagination nor both together go to the making of genius. Love, love, love, that is the soul of genius. +There is only one success — to be able to spend your life in your own way. +We lost because we told ourselves we lost. +All the flowers of all the tomorrows are in the seeds of today. +The difficulties of life are intended to make us better, not bitter. +Man is not sum of what he has already, but rather the sum of what he does not yet have, of what he could have. +A stumble may prevent a fall. +We can only be said to be alive in those moments when our hearts are conscious of our treasures. +As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them. +You have power over your mind — not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength. +The fox has many tricks. The hedgehog has but one. But that is the best of all. +Do not expect the world to look bright, if you habitually wear gray-brown glasses. +Nothing strengthens authority so much as silence. +Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to a better understanding of ourselves. +For success, attitude is equally as important as ability. +He who knows that enough is enough will always have enough. +The cautious seldom err. +He who talks more is sooner exhausted. +We are the leaves of one branch, the drops of one sea, the flowers of one garden. +I think somehow we learn who we really are and then live with that decision. +Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy. +The winner ain't the one with the fastest car it's the one who refuses to lose. +People may doubt what you say, but they will believe what you do. +Money was never a big motivation for me, except as a way to keep score. The real excitement is playing the game. +To succeed, we must first believe that we can. +What you give is what you get. +To avoid criticism, do nothing, say nothing, be nothing. +Consider how hard it is to change yourself and you'll understand what little chance you have in trying to change others. +Mistakes are always forgivable, if one has the courage to admit them. +Liberty, taking the word in its concrete sense, consists in the ability to choose. +Success is determined by those whom prove the impossible, possible. +Absence makes the heart grow fonder. +Life is a succession of moments. To live each one is to succeed. +Doing what you love is the cornerstone of having abundance in your life. +Let us be grateful to people who make us happy; they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom. +All is flux; nothing stays still. +I have always thought the actions of men the best interpreters of their thoughts. +Fear not for the future, weep not for the past. +Adversity isn't set against you to fail; adversity is a way to build your character so that you can succeed over and over again through perseverance. +Wrinkles should merely indicate where smiles have been. +The only way to have a friend is to be one. +We choose our destiny in the way we treat others. +Love is the master key that opens the gates of happiness. +In the sky, there is no distinction of east and west; people create distinctions out of their own minds and then believe them to be true. +If you break your neck, if you have nothing to eat, if your house is on fire, then you got a problem. Everything else is inconvenience. +Being in humaneness is good. If we select other goodness and thus are far apart from humaneness, how can we be the wise? +Everyone has been made for some particular work, and the desire for that work has been put in every heart. +Men of perverse opinion do not know the excellence of what is in their hands, till some one dash it from them. +If you would take, you must first give, this is the beginning of intelligence. +Knowledge has three degrees — opinion, science, illumination. The means or instrument of the first is sense; of the second, dialectic; of the third, intuition. +Discovery consists of seeing what everybody has seen and thinking what nobody else has thought. +This is the final test of a gentleman: his respect for those who can be of no possible value to him. +To ensure good health: eat lightly, breathe deeply, live moderately, cultivate cheerfulness, and maintain an interest in life. +Wisdom is the supreme part of happiness. +You may only be someone in the world, but to someone else, you may be the world. +Most people are about as happy as they make up their minds to be +Every sixty seconds you spend angry, upset or mad, is a full minute of happiness you’ll never get back. +If we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleasant; if we did not sometimes taste of adversity, prosperity would not be so welcome. +The greatest way to live with honor in this world is to be what we pretend to be. +No one saves us but ourselves. No one can and no one may. We ourselves must walk the path. +Each misfortune you encounter will carry in it the seed of tomorrows good luck. +Slow down and everything you are chasing will come around and catch you. +A hero is no braver than an ordinary man, but he is braver five minutes longer. +Staying in one place is the best path to be taken over and surpassed by many. +The cause is hidden. The effect is visible to all. +Joy is what happens to us when we allow ourselves to recognize how good things really are. +I begin with an idea and then it becomes something else. +It is not enough to have a good mind; the main thing is to use it well. +All is flux; nothing stays still. +Silence is a fence around wisdom. +Although there may be tragedy in your life, there's always a possibility to triumph. It doesn't matter who you are, where you come from. The ability to triumph begins with you. Always. +Better than a thousand hollow words, is one word that brings peace. +We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them. +If you can dream it, you can do it. +Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes. +You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life. +Never say there is nothing beautiful in the world any more. There is always something to make you wonder in the shape of a tree, the trembling of a leaf. +Friends are those rare people who ask how we are and then wait to hear the answer. +I may not know everything, but everything is not known yet anyway. +It is the greatest of all mistakes to do nothing because you can only do little — do what you can. +Everything in the universe goes by indirection. There are no straight lines. +Vision without action is a daydream. Action without vision is a nightmare. +From wonder into wonder existence opens. +There is never enough time to do everything, but there is always enough time to do the most important thing. +You really can change the world if you care enough. +The years teach much which the days never know. +Thousands of candles can be lit from a single, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared. +You do not become good by trying to be good, but by finding the goodness that is already within you. +You can observe a lot just by watching. +Life is not measured by the breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath. +Setting an example is not the main means of influencing another, it is the only means. +The best way out is always through. +All things change; nothing perishes. +There is nothing in a caterpillar that tells you it's going to be a butterfly. +You only lose what you cling to. +The only real failure in life is not to be true to the best one knows. +On every thorn, delightful wisdom grows, In every rill a sweet instruction flows. +Just as much as we see in others we have in ourselves. +What you are is what you have been. What you’ll be is what you do now. +If there is no struggle, there is no progress. +The cure for boredom is curiosity. There is no cure for curiosity. +Good people are good because they've come to wisdom through failure. We get very little wisdom from success, you know. +To bring anything into your life, imagine that it's already there. +A fine quotation is a diamond on the finger of a man of wit, and a pebble in the hand of a fool. +People grow through experience if they meet life honestly and courageously. This is how character is built. +It's not what happens to you, but how you react to it that matters. +Never put off till tomorrow what you can do today. +It isn't where you come from, it's where you're going that counts. +The meaning I picked, the one that changed my life: Overcome fear, behold wonder. +If you think you can, you can. And if you think you can't, you're right. +It's so simple to be wise. Just think of something stupid to say and then don't say it. +Experience keeps a dear school, but fools will learn in no other. +Every problem has a gift for you in its hands. +We are the leaves of one branch, the drops of one sea, the flowers of one garden. +Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony. +Our lives are the only meaningful expression of what we believe and in Whom we believe. And the only real wealth, for any of us, lies in our faith. +There surely is in human nature an inherent propensity to extract all the good out of all the evil. +Thats the risk you take if you change: that people you've been involved with won't like the new you. But other people who do will come along. +Let me tell you the secret that has led me to my goal: my strength lies solely in my tenacity +No one can make you feel inferior without your consent. +The only way to have a friend is to be one. +There never was a good knife made of bad steel. +Wisdom is knowing what to do next; Skill is knowing how ot do it, and Virtue is doing it. +Beauty is not in the face; beauty is a light in the heart. +The beginning of knowledge is the discovery of something we do not understand. +The future is completely open, and we are writing it moment to moment. +Music in the soul can be heard by the universe. +It is through science that we prove, but through intuition that we discover. +Our doubts are traitors and make us lose the good we often might win, by fearing to attempt. +We have two ears and one mouth so that we can listen twice as much as we speak. +Nature gave us one tongue and two ears so we could hear twice as much as we speak. +You may be deceived if you trust too much, but you will live in torment if you don't trust enough. +A subtle thought that is in error may yet give rise to fruitful inquiry that can establish truths of great value. +What we see depends mainly on what we look for. +It is difficult to achieve a spirit of genuine cooperation as long as people remain indifferent to the feelings and happiness of others. +If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude. +When I dare to be powerful, to use my strength in the service of my vision, then it becomes less and less important whether I am afraid. +It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop. +To hell with circumstances; I create opportunities. +Every problem has a gift for you in its hands. +It's easier to see the mistakes on someone else's paper. +Compassion and happiness are not a sign of weakness but a sign of strength. +No day in which you learn something is a complete loss. +He who has imagination without learning has wings but no feet. +If A is success in life, then A equals x plus y plus z. Work is x; y is play; and z is keeping your mouth shut. +Everything in the universe goes by indirection. There are no straight lines. +Passion creates the desire for more and action fuelled by passion creates a future. +The moment one gives close attention to anything, it becomes a mysterious, awesome, indescribably magnificent world in itself. +The first step to getting the things you want out of life is this: decide what you want. +When in doubt, tell the truth. +The world is always in movement. +No pessimist ever discovered the secrets of the stars, or sailed to an uncharted land, or opened a new heaven to the human spirit. +A man sees in the world what he carries in his heart. +You might well remember that nothing can bring you success but yourself. +Learning is finding out what you already know. +I have never been hurt by anything I didn't say. +You are never given a wish without also being given the power to make it come true. You may have to work for it, however. +Only through our connectedness to others can we really know and enhance the self. And only through working on the self can we begin to enhance our connectedness to others. +What you give is what you get. +The world is always in movement. +The art of progress is to preserve order amid change, and to preserve change amid order. +The future is completely open, and we are writing it moment to moment. +Silences make the real conversations between friends. Not the saying but the never needing to say is what counts. +Why compare yourself with others? No one in the entire world can do a better job of being you than you. +Nothing ever goes away until it has taught us what we need to know. +A little knowledge that acts is worth infinitely more than much knowledge that is idle. +A good teacher is like a candle — it consumes itself to light the way for others. +Follow effective action with quiet reflection. From the quiet reflection will come even more effective action. +The Superior Man is aware of Righteousness, the inferior man is aware of advantage. +A little more persistence, a little more effort, and what seemed hopeless failure may turn to glorious success. +Myths which are believed in tend to become true. +Id rather regret the things that I have done than the things that I have not done. +When you meet someone better than yourself, turn your thoughts to becoming his equal. When you meet someone not as good as you are, look within and examine your own self. +Go put your creed into the deed. Nor speak with double tongue. +The happiness of a man in this life does not consist in the absence but in the mastery of his passions. +The aim of life is self-development. To realize ones nature perfectly — that is what each of us is here for. +It all depends on how we look at things, and not how they are in themselves. +Those who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat it. +It isn't where you come from, it's where you're going that counts. +Keep yourself to the sunshine and you cannot see the shadow. +We never live; we are always in the expectation of living. +Happiness is a Swedish sunset — it is there for all, but most of us look the other way and lose it. +To enjoy life, we must touch much of it lightly. +Iron rusts from disuse; water loses its purity from stagnation... even so does inaction sap the vigour of the mind. +Failure will never overtake me if my determination to succeed is strong enough. +Divide each difficulty into as many parts as is feasible and necessary to resolve it. +If you cannot do great things, do small things in a great way. +If one does not know to which port is sailing, no wind is favorable. +The cosmos is neither moral or immoral; only people are. He who would move the world must first move himself. +Try not to become a man of success, but rather try to become a man of value. +Smile, breathe and go slowly. +Wherever a man turns he can find someone who needs him. +The minute you settle for less than you deserve, you get even less than you settled for. +The most complicated achievements of thought are possible without the assistance of consciousness. +A failure is a man who has blundered but is not capable of cashing in on the experience. +Stay away from what might have been and look at what will be. +Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life. +He who lives in harmony with himself lives in harmony with the universe. +There is only one corner of the universe you can be certain of improving, and that's your own self. +This world, after all our science and sciences, is still a miracle; wonderful, inscrutable, magical and more, to whosoever will think of it. +The truest greatness lies in being kind, the truest wisdom in a happy mind. +An ounce of emotion is equal to a ton of facts. +Whenever you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth. +Risk more than others think is safe. Care more than others think is wise. Dream more than others think is practical.Expect more than others think is possible. +Try not to become a man of success but rather try to become a man of value. +At the center of your being you have the answer; you know who you are and you know what you want. +The person who lives life fully, glowing with life's energy, is the person who lives a successful life. +At the center of your being you have the answer; you know who you are and you know what you want. +It is the greatest of all mistakes to do nothing because you can only do little — do what you can. +The superior man is satisfied and composed; the mean man is always full of distress. +Do not waste yourself in rejection, nor bark against the bad, but chant the beauty of the good. +If a man does his best, what else is there? +If you are patient in one moment of anger, you will escape one hundred days of sorrow. +Only when we are no longer afraid do we begin to live. +Our strength grows out of our weaknesses. +Peace is not something you wish for. It's something you make, something you do, something you are, and something you give away. +Patience and perseverance have a magical effect before which difficulties disappear and obstacles vanish. +We need to find the courage to say NO to the things and people that are not serving us if we want to rediscover ourselves and live our lives with authenticity. +Treat people as if they were what they ought to be and you help them to become what they are capable of being. +When in doubt, tell the truth. +You do not become good by trying to be good, but by finding the goodness that is already within you. +It's not who you are that holds you back, it's who you think you're not. +It is not so important to know everything as to appreciate what we learn. +We must become the change we want to see. +Great is the art of beginning, but greater is the art of ending. +Can miles truly separate you from friends... If you want to be with someone you love, aren't you already there? +To study and not think is a waste. To think and not study is dangerous. +Simply put, you believer that things or people make you unhappy, but this is not accurate. You make yourself unhappy. +Simply put, you believer that things or people make you unhappy, but this is not accurate. You make yourself unhappy. +Smile, breathe and go slowly. +Courage is not the absence of fear, but simply moving on with dignity despite that fear. +It is better to take many small steps in the right direction than to make a great leap forward only to stumble backward. +Time is the most valuable thing a man can spend. +Chaos and Order are not enemies, only opposites. +The day you decide to do it is your lucky day. +To keep the body in good health is a duty... otherwise we shall not be able to keep our mind strong and clear. +Be glad of life because it gives you the chance to love, to work, to play, and to look up at the stars. +To forgive is to set a prisoner free and realize that prisoner was you. +Wishes can be your best avenue of getting what you want when you turn wishes into action. Action moves your wish to the forefront from thought to reality. +Look back over the past, with its changing empires that rose and fell, and you can foresee the future, too. +We are the leaves of one branch, the drops of one sea, the flowers of one garden. +True happiness means forging a strong spirit that is undefeated, no matter how trying our circumstances. +There are two primary choices in life: to accept conditions as they exist, or accept the responsibility for changing them. +I prefer to be true to myself, even at the hazard of incurring the ridicule of others, rather than to be false, and to incur my own abhorrence. +You give before you get. +More often than not, anger is actually an indication of weakness rather than of strength. +Setting an example is not the main means of influencing another, it is the only means. +Keep your eyes on the stars and your feet on the ground. +Take things as they are. Punch when you have to punch. Kick when you have to kick. +Argue for your limitations, and sure enough theyre yours. +The only limit to your impact is your imagination and commitment. +A good teacher is like a candle — it consumes itself to light the way for others. +You must welcome change as the rule but not as your ruler. +If you correct your mind, the rest of your life will fall into place. +Work for something because it is good, not just because it stands a chance to succeed. +It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it. +We can only be said to be alive in those moments when our hearts are conscious of our treasures. +Trouble is only opportunity in work clothes. +You're never a loser until you quit trying. +If the shoe doesn't fit, must we change the foot? +You may only be someone in the world, but to someone else, you may be the world. +I am glad that I paid so little attention to good advice; had I abided by it I might have been saved from some of my most valuable mistakes. +Let your hook always be cast; in the pool where you least expect it, there will be a fish. +There are two primary choices in life: to accept conditions as they exist, or accept the responsibility for changing them. +The world has the habit of making room for the man whose actions show that he knows where he is going. +Nothing will work unless you do. +If you're walking down the right path and you're willing to keep walking, eventually you'll make progress. +It is common sense to take a method and try it. If it fails, admit it frankly and try another. But above all, try something. +If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader. +It is surprising what a man can do when he has to, and how little most men will do when they don't have to. +Doing nothing is better than being busy doing nothing. +I know but one freedom and that is the freedom of the mind. +You might well remember that nothing can bring you success but yourself. +Life's challenges are not supposed to paralyse you, they're supposed to help you discover who you are. +Your worst enemy cannot harm you as much as your own unguarded thoughts. +The world has the habit of making room for the man whose actions show that he knows where he is going. +We know what we are, but know not what we may be. +Peace cannot be kept by force. It can only be achieved by understanding. +Our ability to achieve happiness and success depends on the strength of our wings. +The road leading to a goal does not separate you from the destination; it is essentially a part of it. +The least of things with a meaning is worth more in life than the greatest of things without it. +They must often change, who would be constant in happiness or wisdom. +If you want a thing done well, do it yourself. +Let yourself be silently drawn by the stronger pull of what you really love. +Do not expect the world to look bright, if you habitually wear gray-brown glasses. +Why compare yourself with others? No one in the entire world can do a better job of being you than you. +Don't fear failure so much that you refuse to try new things. The saddest summary of life contains three descriptions: could have, might have, and should have. +Patience is the companion of wisdom. +If you cannot be silent be brilliant and thoughtful. +Action may not always bring happiness, but there is no happiness without action. +A rolling stone gathers no moss. +To go against the dominant thinking of your friends, of most of the people you see every day, is perhaps the most difficult act of heroism you can perform. +To fly, we have to have resistance. +Never mistake activity for achievement. +As the rest of the world is walking out the door, your best friends are the ones walking in. +Take no thought of who is right or wrong or who is better than. Be not for or against. +Six essential qualities that are the key to success: Sincerity, personal integrity, humility, courtesy, wisdom, charity. +The bird of paradise alights only upon the hand that does not grasp. +Why worry about tomorrow, when today is all we have? +Live through feeling and you will live through love. For feeling is the language of the soul, and feeling is truth. +Those who are free of resentful thoughts surely find peace. +Pick battles big enough to matter, small enough to win. +Maxim for life: You get treated in life the way you teach people to treat you. +The ladder of success is never crowded at the top. +Happiness is a perfume you cannot pour on others without getting a few drops on yourself. +Love is the flower you've got to let grow. +Trust yourself. You know more than you think you do. +We must embrace pain and burn it as fuel for our journey. +I am glad that I paid so little attention to good advice; had I abided by it I might have been saved from some of my most valuable mistakes. +Life a culmination of the past, an awareness of the present, an indication of the future beyond knowledge, the quality that gives a touch of divinity to matter. +He who is fixed to a star does not change his mind. +Try not to become a man of success, but rather try to become a man of value. +The superior man is modest in his speech, but exceeds in his actions. +There are two primary choices in life: to accept conditions as they exist, or accept responsibility for changing them. +Never be afraid to try, remember... Amateurs built the ark, Professionals built the Titanic. +If I am not for myself, who will be for me? If I am not for others, what am I? And if not now, when? +You can't trust without risk but neither can you live in a cocoon. +There is nothing in a caterpillar that tells you it's going to be a butterfly. +Be a good listener. Your ears will never get you in trouble. +The greatest good you can do for another is not just to share your riches but to reveal to him his own. +We have two ears and one mouth so that we can listen twice as much as we speak. +A thing long expected takes the form of the unexpected when at last it comes. +Do what you can. Want what you have. Be who you are. +Think for yourselves and let others enjoy the privilege to do so too. +I am not bothered by the fact that I am unknown. I am bothered when I do not know others. +Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow. +I endeavour to be wise when I cannot be merry, easy when I cannot be glad, content with what cannot be mended and patient when there is no redress. +My advice to you is not to inquire why or whither, but just enjoy your ice cream while its on your plate — that's my philosophy. +Things do not change, we change. +I love my past. I love my present. Im not ashamed of what Ive had, and Im not sad because I have it no longer. +Many people think of prosperity that concerns money only to forget that true prosperity is of the mind. +They can do all because they think they can. +When you are content to be simply yourself and don't compare or compete, everybody will respect you. +Love at first sight is easy to understand; its when two people have been looking at each other for a lifetime that it becomes a miracle. +It is not only for what we do that we are held responsible, but also for what we do not do. +Obstacles are those things you see when you take your eyes off the goal. +Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves. +Thats the risk you take if you change: that people you've been involved with won't like the new you. But other people who do will come along. +If you are patient in one moment of anger, you will escape one hundred days of sorrow. +Every time you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing. +Into each life rain must fall but rain can be the giver of life and it is all in your attitude that makes rain produce sunshine. +What is new in the world? Nothing. What is old in the world? Nothing. Everything has always been and will always be. +Work for something because it is good, not just because it stands a chance to succeed. +To be tested is good. The challenged life may be the best therapist. +Happiness does not come from having much, but from being attached to little. +Act as if what you do makes a difference. It does. +The fox has many tricks. The hedgehog has but one. But that is the best of all. +Our intention creates our reality. +We are all inclined to judge ourselves by our ideals; others, by their acts. +A goal is a dream with a deadline. +Always be yourself, express yourself, have faith in yourself, do not go out and look for a successful personality and duplicate it. +Whenever you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth. +When you have got an elephant by the hind legs and he is trying to run away, it's best to let him run. +The amount of happiness that you have depends on the amount of freedom you have in your heart. +Nothing is a waste of time if you use the experience wisely. +The years teach much which the days never know. +Life is a learning experience, only if you learn. +Don't settle for a relationship that won't let you be yourself. +If we did the things we are capable of, we would astound ourselves. +To give hope to someone occurs when you teach them how to use the tools to do it for themselves. +A life spent making mistakes is not only more honourable but more useful than a life spent in doing nothing. +The only real valuable thing is intuition. +Never miss an opportunity to make others happy, even if you have to leave them alone in order to do it. +If we are facing in the right direction, all we have to do is keep on walking. +Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe. +You always succeed in producing a result. +A prudent question is one half of wisdom. +Knowing is not enough; we must apply! +Don't wait. The time will never be just right. +Know how to listen, and you will profit even from those who talk badly. +Mountains cannot be surmounted except by winding paths. +You can be what you want to be. You have the power within and we will help you always. +If you surrender to the wind, you can ride it. +All know the way; few actually walk it. +He that never changes his opinions, never corrects his mistakes, and will never be wiser on the morrow than he is today. +Those who are free of resentful thoughts surely find peace. +No is easier to do. Yes is easier to say. +What lies behind us and what lies before us are small matters compared to what lies within us. +People are not lazy. They simply have impotent goals — that is, goals that do not inspire them. +Don't miss all the beautiful colors of the rainbow looking for that pot of gold. +Truth, and goodness, and beauty are but different faces of the same all. +Forgiveness does not change the past, but it does enlarge the future. +If one way be better than another, that you may be sure is natures way. +To know your purpose is to live a life of direction, and in that direction is found peace and tranquillity. +A beautiful thing is never perfect. +Keep your eyes on the stars and your feet on the ground. +You are never given a wish without also being given the power to make it come true. You may have to work for it, however. +From error to error one discovers the entire truth. +In order to live free and happily you must sacrifice boredom. It is not always an easy sacrifice. +I am not bothered by the fact that I am unknown. I am bothered when I do not know others. +When it is obvious that the goals cannot be reached, don't adjust the goals, adjust the action steps. +I believe that every person is born with talent. +Doing nothing is better than being busy doing nothing. +To be thoughtful and kind only takes a few seconds compared to the timeless hurt caused by one rude gesture. +Make the best use of what is in your power, and take the rest as it happens. +The right way is not always the popular and easy way. Standing for right when it is unpopular is a true test of moral character. +To be wronged is nothing unless you continue to remember it. +The only limit to our realization of tomorrow will be our doubts of today. +The future is completely open, and we are writing it moment to moment. +More often than not, anger is actually an indication of weakness rather than of strength. +Some people thrive on huge, dramatic change. Some people prefer the slow and steady route. Do what's right for you. +Victory belongs to the most persevering. +They say that time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself. +He who deliberates fully before taking a step will spend his entire life on one leg. +A house divided against itself cannot stand. +Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding about ourselves. +Mind is everything: muscle, pieces of rubber. All that I am, I am because of my mind. +It isn't what happens to us that causes us to suffer; it's what we say to ourselves about what happens. +Absence makes the heart grow fonder. +We must become the change we want to see. +Good timber does not grow with ease; the stronger the wind, the stronger the trees. +All our talents increase in the using, and the every faculty, both good and bad, strengthen by exercise. +Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things. +True happiness means forging a strong spirit that is undefeated, no matter how trying our circumstances. +We are the leaves of one branch, the drops of one sea, the flowers of one garden. +Experience is simply the name we give our mistakes. +What you are is what you have been. What you’ll be is what you do now. +Watch the little things; a small leak will sink a great ship. +Self-complacency is fatal to progress. +The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step. +Being right is highly overrated. Even a stopped clock is right twice a day. +We know from science that nothing in the universe exists as an isolated or independent entity. +Let me tell you the secret that has led me to my goal: my strength lies solely in my tenacity +Ideals are an imaginative understanding of that which is desirable in that which is possible. +All achievements, all earned riches, have their beginning in an idea. +The greatest way to live with honour in this world is to be what we pretend to be. +I believe that we are fundamentally the same and have the same basic potential. +Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans. +Peace begins with a smile. +I have always thought the actions of men the best interpreters of their thoughts. +Life a culmination of the past, an awareness of the present, an indication of the future beyond knowledge, the quality that gives a touch of divinity to matter. +Here is one quality that one must possess to win, and that is definiteness of purpose, the knowledge of what one wants, and a burning desire to possess it. +Kindness is the golden chain by which society is bound together. +In the long run we get no more than we have been willing to risk giving. +We are Divine enough to ask and we are important enough to receive. +All the world is a stage, And all the men and women merely players.They have their exits and entrances; Each man in his time plays many parts. +Three things cannot be long hidden: the sun, the moon, and the truth. +I am not afraid of tomorrow, for I have seen yesterday and I love today. +You do not become good by trying to be good, but by finding the goodness that is already within you. +When you lose, don't lose the lesson. +Worry gives a small thing a big shadow. +Successful people ask better questions, and as a result, they get better answers. +A man of ability and the desire to accomplish something can do anything. +My reputation grows with every failure. +A good plan today is better than a perfect plan tomorrow. +The awareness of our own strength makes us modest. +By letting it go it all gets done. The world is won by those who let it go. But when you try and try. The world is beyond the winning. +A good rest is half the work. +He who conquers others is strong; He who conquers himself is mighty. +Patience is the companion of wisdom. +Some people thrive on huge, dramatic change. Some people prefer the slow and steady route. Do what's right for you. +You do not become good by trying to be good, but by finding the goodness that is already within you. +I think somehow we learn who we really are and then live with that decision. +A man may fulfil the object of his existence by asking a question he cannot answer, and attempting a task he cannot achieve. +Every man takes the limits of his own field of vision for the limits of the world. +Count your joys instead of your woes. Count your friends instead of your foes. +If you break your neck, if you have nothing to eat, if your house is on fire, then you got a problem. Everything else is inconvenience. +It is not in the stars to hold our destiny but in ourselves. +Take no thought of who is right or wrong or who is better than. Be not for or against. +Weve got to have a dream if we are going to make a dream come true. +You can adopt the attitude there is nothing you can do, or you can see the challenge as your call to action. +Follow your instincts. That is where true wisdom manifests itself. +A man should look for what is, and not for what he thinks should be. +Those that know, do. Those that understand, teach. +To be upset over what you don't have is to waste what you do have. +When in doubt, tell the truth. +Think how hard physics would be if particles could think. +You are important enough to ask and you are blessed enough to receive back. +Without this playing with fantasy no creative work has ever yet come to birth. The debt we owe to the play of the imagination is incalculable. +They can do all because they think they can. +You, yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection. +We could never learn to be brave and patient if there were only joy in the world. +Compassion and happiness are not a sign of weakness but a sign of strength. +I believe that every person is born with talent. +Maxim for life: You get treated in life the way you teach people to treat you. +Using the power of decision gives you the capacity to get past any excuse to change any and every part of your life in an instant. +An invincible determination can accomplish almost anything and in this lies the great distinction between great men and little men. +There are people who have money and people who are rich. +The more you know yourself, the more you forgive yourself. +The art of progress is to preserve order amid change, and to preserve change amid order. +Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed people can change the world. Indeed. It is the only thing that ever has. +Kind words will unlock an iron door. +Sometimes the most important thing in a whole day is the rest we take between two deep breaths. +To get the full value of joy you must have someone to divide it with. +To make no mistakes is not in the power of man; but from their errors and mistakes the wise and good learn wisdom for the future. +If you accept the expectations of others, especially negative ones, then you never will change the outcome. +Flow with whatever is happening and let your mind be free. Stay centred by accepting whatever you are doing. This is the ultimate. +If you want things to be different, perhaps the answer is to become different yourself. +I can't change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to always reach my destination. +The happiness that is genuinely satisfying is accompanied by the fullest exercise of our faculties and the fullest realization of the world in which we live. +Everyone should carefully observe which way his heart draws him, and then choose that way with all his strength. +We have committed the Golden Rule to memory; let us now commit it to life. +Where there is great love, there are always miracles. +Let go of your attachment to being right, and suddenly your mind is more open. You're able to benefit from the unique viewpoints of others, without being crippled by your own judgement. +To see things in the seed, that is genius. +We must become the change we want to see. +Life a culmination of the past, an awareness of the present, an indication of the future beyond knowledge, the quality that gives a touch of divinity to matter. +I have often regretted my speech, never my silence. +Your worst enemy cannot harm you as much as your own unguarded thoughts. +If I know what love is, it is because of you. +All children are artists. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up. +Patience is a virtue but you will never ever accomplish anything if you don't exercise action over patience. +If you have knowledge, let others light their candles in it. +What you fear is that which requires action to overcome. +I will prepare and some day my chance will come. +Life's challenges are not supposed to paralyse you, they're supposed to help you discover who you are. +Think as a wise man but communicate in the language of the people. +Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless. +No valid plans for the future can be made by those who have no capacity for living now. +Imagination rules the world. +Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up. +Of course there is no formula for success except perhaps an unconditional acceptance of life and what it brings. +Excellence is to do a common thing in an uncommon way. +Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible. +The true way to render ourselves happy is to love our work and find in it our pleasure. +What we see depends mainly on what we look for. +He who experiences the unity of life sees his own Self in all beings, and all beings in his own Self, and looks on everything with an impartial eye. +Sadness flies away on the wings of time. +The only Zen you find on the tops of mountains is the Zen you bring up there. +You may be deceived if you trust too much, but you will live in torment if you don't trust enough. +It is not enough to have a good mind; the main thing is to use it well. +The winds and waves are always on the side of the ablest navigators. +Victory belongs to the most persevering. +I believe that every person is born with talent. +It is the quality of our work which will please God, not the quantity. +If one advances confidently in the direction of his dream, and endeavours to live the life which he had imagines, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours. +Sometimes the cards we are dealt are not always fair.
