LewisWe must accept finite disappointment, but we must never lose infinite hope Martin Luther King, JrYou are today where your thoughts have brought you; you will be tomorrow where your thoughts take you James AllenStay away from those people who try to disparage your ambitions. Small minds will always do that, but great minds will give you a feeling that you can become great too Mark TwainWhen we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better too Paulo CoelhoYou can get everything in life you want if you will just help enough people get what they want Zig ZiglarTo be free is not merely to cast off one’s chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others Nelson MandelaI have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal Martin Luther King JrYou’re going to come across people in your life who will say all the right words at all the right times.

Every man is guilty of all the good he did not do ~ Voltaire

When we discover this, we are less prone to hate our enemies Martin Luther King, Jr.Thousands of candles can be lit from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared Buddha (paraphrased)Remember, there’s no such thing as a small act of kindness. Every act creates a ripple with no logical end Scott AdamsHappiness is like a butterfly. The more you chase it, the more it eludes you.

They live inside us—and sometimes, we let them win Stephen KingYou have it easily in your power to increase the sum total of this world’s happiness now. How?

Being good to people is a wonderful legacy to leave behind Taylor SwiftWhoso would be a man, must be a nonconformist. He who would gather immortal palms must not be hindered by the name of goodness, but must explore if it be goodness Ralph Waldo EmersonThe impediment to action advances action. What stands in the way becomes the way Marcus AureliusQualities such as ‘nice, honest, kind, happy, relaxed, sincere, innocent’ are frowned upon as weaknesses. Yet these values are the essence of a good person Fennel HudsonIt is better to be defeated on principle than to win on lies Arthur CalwellBe more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are John WoodenAlways do right.

Integrity is making sure that the things you say and the things you do are in alignment ~ Katrina Mayer
Integrity is congruence between what you know, what you profess, and what you do Nathaniel BrandenThe world is changed by your example, not by your opinion Paulo CoelhoRight is right even if no one is doing it; wrong is wrong even if everyone is doing it Augustine of HippoThe art of acting morally is behaving as if everything we do matters Gloria SteinemA thousand words will not leave so deep an impression as one deed Henrik IbsenDead people receive more flowers than the living ones because regret is stronger than gratitude Anne FrankIt is not so much our friends’ help that helps us as the confident knowledge that they will help us EpicurusYou never really learn much from hearing yourself speak George ClooneyA free press can, of course, be good or bad, but, most certainly without freedom, the press will never be anything but bad Albert CamusHuman kindness has never weakened the stamina or softened the fiber of a free people.

RooseveltI appeal to the Youth and those on the ground: start talking to each other across divisions of race and political organizations Nelson MandelaMake each day your masterpiece John WoodenIt’s the questions we can’t answer that teach us the most. They teach us how to think. If you give a man an answer, all he gains is a little fact. But give him a question and he’ll look for his own answers Patrick RothfussThe truth is that our finest moments are most likely to occur when we are feeling deeply uncomfortable, unhappy, or unfulfilled. For it is only in such moments, propelled by our discomfort, that we are likely to step out of our ruts and start searching for different ways or truer answersM. Scott PeckIf someone is able to show me that what I think or do is not right, I will happily change, for I seek the truth, by which no one was ever truly harmed. It is the person who continues in his self-deception and ignorance who is harmed Marcus AureliusI began to realize how important it was to be an enthusiast in life. He taught me that if you are interested in something, no matter what it is, go at it full speed ahead. Embrace it with both arms, hug it, love it, and above all become passionate about it. Lukewarm is no good. Hot is no good either. White hot and passionate is the only thing to be Roald Dahl, “My Uncle Oswald”If we want to direct our lives, we must take control of our consistent actions.

Yet they accomplish much Blaise PascalThe lotus is the most beautiful flower, whose petals open one by one. But it will only grow in the mud.

The nearer a man comes to a calm mind, the closer he is to strength Marcus AureliusI can always choose, but I ought to know that if I do not choose, I am still choosing Jean-Paul Sartre
