You have to expect things of yourself before you can do them.

~Michael Jordan

If you don't set a baseline standard for what you'll accept in life, you'll find it's easy to slip into behaviors and attitudes or a quality of life that's far below what you deserve.

-Anthony Robbins

The best way to get approval is not to need it.

If people only knew how hard I work to gain my mastery,

it wouldn't seem so wonderful at all.

The ideal life is in our blood and never will be still. Sad will be the day for any man when he becomes contented with the thoughts he is thinking and the deeds he is doing -- where there is not forever beating at the doors of his soul some great desire to do something larger, which he knows that he was meant and made to do.

~Phillips Brooks

To love means loving the unlovable. To forgive means pardoning the unpardonable. Faith means believing the unbelievable. Hope means hoping when everything seems hopeless.

~Chesterton, Gilbert K.

I am not a saint, unless you think of a saint as a sinner who keeps on trying.

~Nelson Mandela

Most of us can read the writing on the wall; we just assume

it's addressed to someone else.

~Ivern Ball

Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses, you build up a whole suit of armor, so that nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life...You give them a piece of you. They didn't ask for it. They did something dumb one day, like kiss you or smile at you, and then your life isn't your own anymore.

~Neil Gaiman

I've been making a list of the things they don't teach you at school. They don't teach you how to love somebody. They don't teach you how to be famous. They don't teach you how to be rich or how to be poor. They don't teach you how to walk away from someone you don't love any longer. They don't teach you how to know what's going on in someone else's mind. They don't teach you what to say to someone who's dying. They don't teach you anything worth knowing.

~Neil Gaiman

When you have given nothing, ask for nothing.

As a child, I walked through the world with wonder and

awe. Each day started with a question and ended with a

question. I had the mind of a beginner.

~Anonymous





Are you upset little friend? Have you been lying awake worrying? Well, don't worry...I'm here. The flood waters will recede, the famine will end, the sun will shine tomorrow, and I will always be here to take care of you.

~Charlie Brown to Snoopy

For all that has been, thanks. For all that will be, yes.

~Dag Hammarskjold
