-- Herbert Casson
Life is full of obstacle illusions.
-- Grant Frazier
A man who suffers before it is necessary, suffers more than is necessary.
-- Seneca
The secret of success is learning how to use pain and pleasure instead of having pain and pleasure use you. If you do that, you're in control of your life.
-- Anthony Robbins
If you are distressed by anything external, the pain is not due to the thing itself but to your own estimate of it; and this you have the power to revoke at any moment.
-- Marcus Aurelius
I keep my ideals, because in spite of everything, I still believe that people are really good at heart.
-- Anne Frank
No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.
-- Eleanor Roosevelt
The true and nobel way to kill a foe is not to kill him. You, with kindness, may so change him, that he shall cease to be so, and then he's slain.
-- Alain
The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart.
-- Helen Keller
A heavy snowfall disappears into the sea. What silence!
-- Folk ZEN Saying
A weed is no more than a flower in disguise.
-- James Lowell
The great art of life is sensation, to feel that we exist, even in pain.
-- Lord Byron
The greatest pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot do.
-- Bagehot
There are victories of the soul and spirit. Sometimes, even if you lose, you win.
-- Elie Wiesel
Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far they can go.
-- T.S. Eliot
Fear is a part of everything you do ... You have to take great risks to get big rewards.
-- Greg Louganis
Security is mostly a superstition; it does not exist in nature. Life is either a daring adventure or nothing.
-- Helen Keller
If you can't fly, then run.
If you can't run, then walk.
If you can't walk, then crawl.
But whatever you do, keep moving.
-- Martin Luther King, Jr.
The only way to be who you want to be is by being what you haven't yet been.
-- Sally Edwards
The harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly; it is dearness only that gives everything its value. I love the man that can smile in trouble, that can gather strength from distress and grow brave by reflection.
-- Thomas Paine
The longest hill must end in a valley.
-- Henry C. Beeching
The race isn't always to the swiftest, but to those who keep on running.
-- Unknown
Vincit qui patitur: he conquers, who endures.
-- Percy Cerutty
The only way to define your limits is by going beyond them.
-- Arthur Clarke
The most important thing in life is not the triumph but the struggle. The essential thing is not to have conquered but to have fought well.
-- Pierre de Courbertin
It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly, who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement; and who at the worst, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.
-- Teddy Roosevelt
Adversity is the diamond dust heaven polishes it's jewels with.
-- Leighton
When things go wrong,
as they sometimes will,
when the road you're treading seems all up-hill.
When the funds are low,
and the debts are high,
when you want to smile
but you have to sigh.
When care is pressing you down a bit
rest if you must but don't you quit.
Success is failure
turned inside out,
the silver tint of the clouds of doubt.
And you never can tell
how close you are,
it may be near
when it seems afar.
So stick to the fight
when you're hardest hit;
it's when things go wrong
that you MUST NOT QUIT.
It's never too late to be what you might have been.
-- George Eliot
An experience in which you don't make out too well can shake your confidence in yourself; and if you do not promptly make another try, a defeat psychologically can take hold and freeze you. So when you fall flat - pick yourself up fast and go right on to the next challenge.
-- author unknown
Do not weep; do not wax indignant. Understand.
-- Baruch Spinoza
Difficult times have helped me to understand better than before how infinitely rich and beautiful life is in every way and that so many things that one goes worrying about are of no importance whatsoever.
-- Isak Dinesen
By being happy we sow anonymous benefits upon the world.
-- Robert Louis Stevenson
What is to give light must endure burning.
-- Victor Frankl, Man's Search For Meaning
Although the world is full of suffering, it is full also of the overcoming of it.
-- Helen Keller
You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.
-- The Buddha
It is good to have an end to journey towards, but it is the journey that matters in the end.
-- Ursula K. LeGuin
"Creativity represents a miraculous coming together of the uninhibited energy of the child with its apparent opposite and enemy -- the sense of order imposed on the disciplined adult intelligence."
"Would you like me to give you a formula for... success? It's quite simple, really. Double your rate of failure. You're thinking of failure as the enemy of success. But it isn't at all... you can be discouraged by failure -- or you can learn from it. So go ahead and make mistakes. Make all you can. Because, remember that's where you'll find success. On the far side."
"When things are bad, we take comfort in the thought that they could always be worse. And when they are, we find hope in the thought that things are so bad that they have to get better."
"When you make a mistake, don't look back at it long. Take the reason of the thing into your mind, and then look forward. Mistakes are lessons of wisdom. The past cannot be changed. The future is yet in your power."
"There is a tide in the affairs of men which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune. Omitted, all the voyage of their life Is bound in shallows and in miseries. On such a full sea are we now afloat; and we must take the current when it serves, or lose the ventures before us."
"I am only one, but still I am one; I cannot do everything; but still I can do something; and because I cannot do everything, I will not refuse to do the something that I can do."
"You have to think anyway, so why not think big?"
"The hardest arithmetic to master is that which enables us to count our blessings."
"Most people give up just when they're about to achieve success. They quit on the one-yard line. They give up at the last minute of the game one foot from a winning touchdown."
"When we accept tough jobs as a challenge and wade into them with joy and enthusiasm, miracles can happen."
Whether you think you can or whether you think you can't, you're right.
You see things; and you say 'Why?' But I dream things that never were; and I say 'Why not?'
Within each of us lies the power of our consent to health and sickness, to riches and poverty, to freedom and to slavery. It is we who control these, and not another.
Never look down on anybody unless you're helping him up.
To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.
A bird doesn't sing because it has an answer, it sings because it has a song.
There is no use trying, said Alice; one can't believe impossible things. I dare say you haven't had much practice, said the Queen. When I was your age, I always did it for half an hour a day. Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.
The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man.
The journey is the reward.
People are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within.
"In life you can never be too kind or too fair;
everyone you meet is carrying a heavy load.
When you go through your day expressing kindness and courtesy to all you meet,
you leave behind a feeling of warmth and good cheer,
and you help alleviate the burdens everyone is struggling with."
"ABILITY"
Ability is to look at a blank page,
and create a poem.
Ability is to stare into the eyes of fear,
and come out stronger because of it.
Ability is to walk into a room of strangers,
and come out with friends.
Ability is to admit you are wrong,
when you are wrong.
Ability is to get back up,
when you fall down.
Ability is to believe,
when everything seems lost.
Ability-- a simple word with a complex meaning.
For many,ability is never found.
But for all ,ability is within.
Ability stares everyone in the face at one time or another.
Wether your ability is how well you shoot hoops,
how well you flip at dancing,
how smart you are at school.
You have ability.
For some ,ability is lost by never trying.
Wether never trying to shoot one more time,
never trying to bend a little more,
or never trying to score higher in school.
ABILITY IS WITHIN .
ABILITY IS YOURS...
