Your destiny is to fulfill those things upon which you focus most intently. So choose to keep your focus on that which is truly magnificent, beautiful, uplifting and joyful. Your life is always moving toward something Ralph MarstonThe man who moves a mountain begins by carrying away small stones ConfuciusThe truth is: the natural world is changing. And we are totally dependent on that world. It provides our food, water and air. It is the most precious thing we have and we need to defend it David AttenboroughWhen the whole world is silent, even one voice becomes powerful Malala YousafzaiDon’t bend; don’t water it down; don’t try to make it logical; don’t edit your own soul according to the fashion. Rather, follow your most intense obsessions mercilessly Franz KafkaYou don’t have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great Zig ZiglarYou must never be fearful about what you are doing when it is right Rosa ParksThere is no such thing in anyone’s life as an unimportant day Alexander WoollcottEveryone you meet always asks if you have a career, are married, or own a house as if life was some kind of grocery list.

Let today be the day…You look for the good in everyone you meet and respect their journey Steve MaraboliWe can do anything we want to if we stick to it long enough Helen KellerWhen I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, ‘Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping Fred RogersNo one is useless in this world who lightens the burdens of another Charles DickensIt is better to light one small candle than to curse the darkness Eleanor RooseveltOne small positive thought can change your whole day Zig ZiglarWhat is the difference between an obstacle and an opportunity? Our attitude toward it. Every opportunity has a difficult, and every difficulty has an opportunity J. Sidlow BaxterObstacles don’t have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don’t turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it Michael JordanI am driven by two main philosophies: know more today about the world than I knew yesterday and lessen the suffering of others.

Never excuse yourself. Never pity yourself. Be a hard master to yourself and be lenient to everybody else Henry Ward BeecherIf you don’t pay appropriate attention to what has your attention, it will take more of your attention than it deserves David AllenDo not fear mistakes. There are none Miles DavisIf a thing is worth doing, it is worth doing well. If it is worth having, it is worth waiting for. If it is worth attaining, it is worth fighting for. If it is worth experiencing, it is worth putting aside time for Oscar WildeWeak people revenge. Strong people forgive. Intelligent People Ignore Albert EinsteinMake it a habit to tell people “thank you”. To express your appreciation, sincerely and without the expectation of anything in return. Truly appreciate those around you, and you’ll soon find many others around you. Truly appreciate life, and you’ll find that you have more of it Ralph MarstonEncourage me, and I will not forget you William Arthur WardI don’t forgive people because I’m weak, I forgive them because I am strong enough to know people make mistakes Marilyn MonroeHang on to your youthful enthusiasms, you will be able to use them better when you are older SenecaYou have to love a nation that celebrates its independence every July 4, not with a parade of guns, tanks, and soldiers who file by the White House in a show of strength and muscle, but with family picnics where kids throw Frisbees, the potato salad gets iffy, and the flies die from happiness. You may think you have overeaten, but it is patriotism Erma BombeckWhen I was 11, I joined a football team. About halfway through the season, I decided that I wanted to quit. When I told my dad, he said, ‘That’s fine. You can quit…but not in the middle of the season. If you want to quit, you have to wait until the end.’ He explained that I had made a commitment—not only to the coaches but also to the other kids. That was a pivotal lesson for me. There are things in life that get you down, and life itself often gets tough. But if you can ride it out, it will always get better. Also, when I took a step back and listened to what my dad was saying, I realized that I really did like football. I was just distracted by something else. That’s another thing—life is full of distractions. You’ve got to be able to focus on what you want the most Joe MontanaFew things can help an individual more than to place responsibility on him, and to let him know that you trust him Booker T. WashingtonThe biggest lesson I’ve learned is that hurt people hurt people, and kindness is just as contagious. So if you can focus your efforts on engineering kindness, it will prevail Whitney Wolfe HerdAn average person with average talents and ambition and average education, can outstrip the most brilliant genius in our society, if that person has clear, focused goals Mary Kay AshHappiness does not lead to gratitude. Gratitude leads to happiness David Steindl-RastAs a single footstep will not make a path on the earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind. To make a deep physical path, we walk again and again. To make a deep mental path, we must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives Henry David ThoreauLife is a shipwreck, but we must not forget to sing in the lifeboats VoltaireThe greatest discovery of all time is that a person can change his future by merely changing his attitude Oprah WinfreyWhen I was a boy of 14, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be 21, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years Mark TwainOne, remember to look up at the stars and not down at your feet. Two, never give up work. Work gives you meaning and purpose and life is empty without it. Three, if you are lucky enough to find love, remember it is there and don’t throw it awayStephen HawkingCan you remember who you were, before the world told you who you should be? Charles BukowskiDon’t ever let someone tell you, you can’t do something. Not even me. You got a dream, you got to protect it Steven ConradIf there were in the world today any large number of people who desired their own happiness more than they desired the unhappiness of others, we could have a paradise in a few years Bertrand RussellHolding 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 BuddhaIf you hear a voice within you say ‘you cannot paint,’ then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced Vincent van Gogh
We knew the world would not be the same. A few people laughed, a few people cried. Most people were silent. I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad Gita; Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince that he should do his duty and, to impress him, takes on his multi-armed form and says, “Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.” I suppose we all thought that, one way or another. J. Robert Oppenheimer
People who repeatedly attack your confidence and self-esteem are quite aware of your potential, even if you are not Wayne Gerard TrotmanIf you have a heartbeat, there’s still time for your dreams Sean StephensonEach morning when I open my eyes I say to myself: I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn’t arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I’m going to be happy in it Groucho MarxWhen you encourage others, you in the process are encouraged because you’re making a commitment and difference in that person’s life. Encouragement really does make a difference Zig ZiglarThe art of being happy lies in the power of extracting happiness from common things Henry Ward BeecherMy father could have been a great comedian but he didn’t believe that that was possible for him, and so he made a conservative choice. Instead, he got a safe job as an accountant and when I was 12 years old he was let go from that safe job, and our family had to do whatever we could to survive. I learned many great lessons from my father. Not the least of which was that: You can fail at what you don’t want. So you might as well take a chance on doing what you love Jim CarreyBelieve it can be done. When you believe something can be done, really believe, your mind will find the ways to do it. Believing a solution paves the way to solution David J. SchwartzWhen things go wrong in our life and we encounter difficult situations, we tend to regard the situation itself as our problem, but in reality whatever problems we experience come from the side of the mind. If we were to respond to difficult situations with a positive or peaceful mind they would not be problems for us; indeed, we may even come to regard them as challenges or opportunities for growth and development. Problems arise only if we respond to difficulties with a negative state of mind. Therefore, if we want to be free from problems, we must transform our mind Kelsang GyatsoSuccess is most often achieved by those who don’t know that failure is inevitable Coco ChanelThe biggest mistake you could ever make is to think you work for anyone else but yourself Brian TracyDon’t think about what can happen in a month. Don’t think about what can happen in a year. Just focus on the 24 hours in front of you and do what you can to get closer to where you want to be Eric ThomasThere has never been another you. With no effort on your part you were born to be something very special and set apart. What you are going to do in appreciation of that gift is a decision only you can make Dan ZadraWhen you come to the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on Franklin D. RooseveltNever let a day pass without looking for the good, feeling the good within you, praising, appreciating, blessing, and being grateful. Make it your life commitment, and you will stand in utter awe of what happens in your life Rhonda ByrneNever give up on something that you can’t go a day without thinking about Winston ChurchillWhen obstacles arise, you change your direction to reach your goal; you do not change your decision to get there Zig ZiglarManagement is about persuading people to do things they do not want to do, while leadership is about inspiring people to do things they never thought they could Steve JobsStrive not to be a success, but rather to be of value. True success is measured by the positive impact we have on the lives of others and the betterment of society Albert EinsteinWhen 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 Helen KellerPerhaps you will forget tomorrow the kind words you say today, but the recipient may cherish them over a lifetime Dale CarnegieIf you hate somebody, it’s like a boomerang that misses its target and comes back and hits you in the head. The one who hates is the one who hurts Louis ZamperiniMoney can’t heal your heart. Money can’t give you purpose. I don’t want arms and legs, I want purpose. I don’t want arms and legs, I want peace. I don’t want arms and legs, I want to be a miracle for someone else Nick VujicicI have to believe that when things are bad I can change them James J. BraddockNever underestimate the power of dreams and the influence of the human spirit Wilma RudolphThe secret to success: find something you love to do so much, you can’t wait for the sun to rise to do it all over again Chris Gardner
Just when things looked their worse, they changed for the best. I have marveled often at the thin line that divides success from failure and the sudden turn that leads from apparently certain disaster to comparative safety ~ Ernest Shackleton
Optimism is true moral courage Ernest ShackletonEveryone’s reputation is made on a daily basis. There are little incremental things—worthwhile efforts, moments you were helpful to others—and after a lifetime, they can add up to something. You can feel as if you lived and it mattered Chesley B. SullenbergerI would tell most young people that in life you can go through many difficulties, but if you know what you want to do, if you can focus, and work, then in the end, you will end up doing it. No matter what happens, if you don’t give up, you will still succeed William KamkwambaDemocracy cannot succeed unless those who express their choice are prepared to choose wisely. The real safeguard of democracy, therefore, is education Franklin D. RooseveltWe are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars Oscar WildeYou never fail until you stop trying Albert EinsteinIt’s really a wonder that I haven’t dropped all my ideals, because they seem so absurd and impossible to carry out. Yet I keep them, because in spite of everything, I still believe that people are really good at heart Anne FrankHow wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world Anne FrankYou shouldn’t speak until you know what you’re talking about. That’s why I get uncomfortable with interviews. Reporters ask me what I feel China should do about Tibet. Who cares what I think China should do? I’m a f***ing actor! They hand me a script. I act. I’m here for entertainment, basically, when you whittle everything away. I’m a grown man who puts on makeup Brad PittThe most difficult thing is the decision to act, the rest is merely tenacity. The fears are paper tigers. You can do anything you decide to do. You can act to change and control your life; and the procedure, the process is its own reward Amelia EarhartThe greatest work that kindness does to others is that it makes them kind themselves Amelia Earhart
