People will forget what you said
Poeple will forget what you did
But people will never forget how you made them feel.
Maya Angelou
A mediocre idea that generates enthusiasm will go further than a great idea that inspires no one.
Mary Kay Ash
Whenever you fall, pick up something.
Oswald Avery
Nothing splendid has ever been achieved except by those who dared believe that something inside of them was superior to circumstance.
Bruce Barton
Too often we under estimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest
compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.
Leo Buscaglia
How many cares one loses when one decides not to be something but to be someone.
Coco Chanel
There is nothing ugly; I never saw an ugly thing in my life: for let the form of an
object be what it may, - light, shade, and perspective will always make it beautiful.
John Constable
If I can stop one heart from breaking,
I shall not live in vain;
If I can ease one life the aching,
Or cool one pain,
Or help one fainting robin
Unto his nest again,
I shall not live in vain.
Emily Dickinson
Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling five balls in the air. You name them - work, family, health, friends, and spirit -
and you're keeping all of these in the air. You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back. But
the other four balls - family, health, friends, and spirit are made of glass. If you drop one of these, they will be irrevocably scuffed,
marked, nicked, damaged, or even shattered. They will never be the same. You must understand that and strive for balance in your life.
Brian Dyson
Genius is one percent inspiration, ninety-nine percent perspiration.
Thomas Edison
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.
Albert Einstein
Nature repairs her ravages, but not all. The uptorn trees are not rooted again; the parted hills are left scarred;
if there is a new growth, the trees are not the same as the old, and the hills underneath their green vesture bear
the marks of the past rending. To the eyes that have dwelt on the past, there is no thorough repair.
George Eliot
The best remedy for those who are frightened, lonely or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere they can be alone, alone with the sky, nature and God.
For then and only then can you feel that everything is as it should be and that God wants people to be happy amid nature's beauty and simplicity.
Anne Frank
Yesterday's success formula is often today's obsolete dogma ... We must continually challenge the past so that we can renew ourselves each day.
Sumantra Ghoshal
Think to yourself that every day is your last; the hour to which you do not look forward will come as a welcome surprise.
Horace
The world is full of people giving good advice to others, but I have thought we should all be better off if we would advise ourselves
more, and others less. If I could take the good advice I am capable of giving, I should have no occasion to accept it from others.
E. W. Howe
When two souls, which have sought each other for however long in the throng, have finally found each
other...there is then established for ever between them a union, fiery and pure as they themselves are, a
union which begins on earth and continues for ever in heaven...This is the love which you inspire in me.
Victor Hugo
There is only one corner of the universe you can be certain of improving, and that's your own self.
Aldous Huxley
Your vision will become clear only when you look into your heart ... Who looks outside, dreams. Who looks inside, awakens.
Carl Jung
Don't watch the clock; do what it does. Keep going.
Sam Levenson
Lives of great men all remind us
We can make our lives sublime,
And departing, leave behind us
Footprints on the sands of time.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
What I dream of is an art of balance, of purity and serenity devoid of troubling or depressing subject matter ... a
soothing, calming influence on the mind, rather like a good armchair which provides relaxation from physical fatigue.
Henri Matisse
A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way.
John C. Maxwell
Learn to say no
to the good so you can say yes
to the best.
John C. Maxwell
Man must be big enough to admit his mistakes, smart enough to profit from them, and strong enough to correct them.
John C. Maxwell
People never care how much you know until they know how much you care.
John C. Maxwell
The greatest mistake we make is living in constant fear that we will make one.
John C. Maxwell
For every beauty there is an eye somewhere to see it. For every truth there is an ear
somewhere to hear it. For every love there is a heart somewhere to receive it.
Ivan Panin
When you are inspired by some great purpose, some extraordinary project, all your thoughts break their bonds: Your mind transcends
limitations, your consciousness expands in every direction, and you find yourself in a new, great, and wonderful world. Dormant forces,
faculties and talents become alive, and your discover yourself to be a greater person by far than you ever dreamed yourself to be.
Patanjali
No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.
Eleanor Roosevelt
No man is brave that has never walked a hundred miles. If you want to know the truth of who you are, walk
until not a person knows your name. Travel is the great leveler, the great teacher, bitter as medicine, crueler than
mirror-glass. A long stretch of road will teach you more about yourself than a hundred years of quiet introspection.
The Wise Man's Fear
Patrick Rothfuss
Everyone sees the unseen in proportion to the clarity of his heart, and that depends upon how much he
has polished it. Whoever has polished it more sees more - more unseen forms become manifest to him.
Rumi
Leadership is not so much about technique and methods as it is about opening the heart. Leadership is about inspiration
- of oneself and of others. Great leadership is about human experiences, not processes. Leadership is not a formula or a
program, it is a human activity that comes from the heart and considers the hearts of others. It is an attitude, not a routine.
Lance Secretan
Life does not cease to be funny when people die any more than it ceases to be serious when people laugh.
George Bernard Shaw
This is the true joy in life, the being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one; the being
thoroughly worn out before you are thrown on the scrap heap; the being a force of nature instead of a feverish selfish
little clod of ailments and grievances complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy.
George Bernard Shaw
If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them.
Henry David Thoreau
Let us endeavor so to live that when we come to die even the undertaker will be sorry.
Mark Twain
The mark of a moderate man is freedom from his own ideas. Tolerant like the sky, all-pervading like sunlight, firm like a mountain,
supple like a tree in the wind, he has no destination in view and makes use of anything life happens to bring his way.
Lao Tzu
The past is but the beginning of a beginning, and all that is or has been is but the twilight of the dawn.
H. G. Wells
Do all the good you can,
By all the means you can,
In all the ways you can,
In all the places you can,
At all the times you can,
To all the people you can,
As long as ever you can.
John Wesley
There are two ways of spreading light: to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it.
Edith Wharton
