A happy person is not a person in a

certain set of circumstances,

but rather a person with a

certain set of attitudes.

- Hugh Downs

Les Brown

In every day, there are 1,440 minutes. That means we have 1,440 daily opportunities to make a positive impact. 

Les Brown

Robert Burns

I want someone to laugh with me, someone to be grave with me, someone to please me and help my discrimination with his or her own remark, and at times, no doubt, to admire my acuteness and penetration.

Robert Burns

Jonathan Lockwood Huie

Trust your own inner guidance.

Have faith that your steps are

carrying you toward your dreams.

Keep your eyes on the heavens

and believe that your feet will carry you well.

- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

Henry David Thoreau

If a man loses pace with his companions,

perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer.

Let him step to the music which he hears,

however measured or far away.

- Henry David Thoreau

Les Brown

You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream.

Dale Carnegie

Most of the important things in the world
have been accomplished by people
who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all.

- Dale Carnegie

Dawna Markova

I will not die an unlived life. I will not live in fear of falling or
catching fire. I choose to inhabit my days, to allow my living to open me, to make me less afraid, more accessible, to loosen my heart until it becomes a wing, a torch, a promise. I choose to risk my significance; to live so that which comes to me as seed goes to the next as blossom and that which comes to me as blossom, goes on as fruit.

Dawna Markova

Joseph Campbell

Life is without meaning.

You bring the meaning to it.

The meaning of life is

whatever you ascribe it to be.

Being alive is the meaning.

- Joseph Campbell

Abraham Maslow

Appreciate again and again, freshly and naively,
the basic goods of life, with awe,
pleasure, wonder and even ecstasy,
however stale these experiences may have become to others.

- Abraham Maslow

Cicero

Natural ability without education has more often raised a man to glory and virtue than education without natural ability.

Cicero

Lao Tzu

By letting it go it all gets done. The world is won by those who let it go. But when you try and try. The world is beyond the winning.

Lao Tzu
