Yukitaka Yamamoto

To be fully alive is to have an aesthetic perception of life because a major part of the world's goodness lies in its often unspeakable beauty.” 

~ Yukitaka Yamamoto

Henry David Thoreau

As 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 Thoreau

“The best way to not feel hopeless is to get up and do something. Don’t wait for good things to happen to you. If you go out and make some good things happen, you will fill the world with hope, you will fill yourself with hope.” 

~  Barack Obama

Begin doing what you want to do now. We are not living in eternity. We have only this moment, sparkling like a star in our hand – and melting like a snow flake. Let us use it before it is too late.

“You can not avoid life or your thoughts you can only make the best of your current situation and move on with a positive mental attitude.” 

~ Matthew Donnelly

John Steinbeck

“There are as many worlds as there are kinds of days, and as an opal changes its colors and its fire to match the nature of a day, so do I.” 

~ John Steinbeck
