Ray Bradbury
If we listened to our intellect, we'd never have a love affair. We'd never have a friendship. We'd never go into business, because we'd be cynical. Well, that's nonsense. You've got to jump off cliffs all the time and build your wings on the way down.
Donald Trump

Reach high, for stars lie hidden in your soul. Dream deep, for every dream precedes the goal.
Kirsten Zambucka
Though I might travel afar, I will meet only what I carry with me, for every man is a mirror. We see only ourselves reflected in those around us. Their attitudes and actions are only a reflection of our own. The whole world and its condition has its counter parts within us all. Turn the gaze inward. Correct yourself and your world will change.
You can see through people or, you can see people through.
Some pursue happiness. Some create it.
He who hesitates is lunch.
Counting
Count your blessings, not your crosses.
Count your gains, not your losses.
Count your joys instead of your woes.
Count our friends instead of your foes.
Count your health, not your wealth.
No one can predict what heights you can soar. Even you will not know until you spread your wings.
Do not fear the winds of adversity. Remember: A kite rises against the wind rather than with it.
In the middle of every difficulty lies opportunity.
Good judgment comes from experience. Experience comes from bad judgment.
Instead of giving someone a piece of your mind, give someone the peace of your mind.

Paul Twitchell
The higher one climbs on the spiritual ladder, the more they will grant others their own freedom, and give less interference to another's state of consciousness
Zen Buddhist Text
The master in the art of living makes little distinction between his work and his play, his labor and his leisure, his mind and his body, his information and his recreation, his love and his religion. He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence at whatever he does, leaving others to decide whether he is working or playing. To him he's always doing both.
H-umor E-go, edging God out L-istening P-urpose
Gary Zukav
Reality is what we take to be true. What we take to be true is what we believe. What we believe is based upon our perceptions. What we perceive depends upon what we look for. What we look for depends upon what we think. What we think depends upon what we perceive. What we perceive determines what we believe. What we believe determines what we take to be true. what we take to be true is our reality.
A kind word will keep someone warm for years.
Some people dream of worthy accomplishments while others stay awake and do them.
One who does nothing but wait for his ship to come has already missed the boat.

Who Am I?
I am your constant companion.
I am your greatest helper or your heaviest burden.
I will push you onward or drag you down to failure.
I am completely at your command.
Half the things you do, you might just as well turn over to me, and I will be able to do them quickly and correctly.
I am easily managed; you must merely be firm with me.
Show me exactly how you want something done, and after a few lessons I will do it automatically.
I am the servant of all great men and, alas, of all failures as well.
Those who are great, I have made great.
Those who are failures, I have made failures.
I am not a machine, though I work with all the precision of a machine, plus the intelligence of a man.
You may run me for profit, or run me for ruin; It makes no difference to me.
Take me, train me, be firm with me And I will put the world at your feet.
Be easy with me, and I will destroy you.
Who am I?
I am HABIT!

- The Magic of Believing
The person with a fixed goal, a clear picture of his desire, or an ideal always before him, causes it, through repetition, to be buried deeply in his subconscious mind and is thus enabled, thanks to its generative and sustaining power, to realize his goal in a minimum of time and with a minimum of physical effort. Just pursue the thought unceasingly. Step by step you will achieve realization, for all your faculties and powers become directed to that end.
Jane Wagner
The trouble with the rat race is that even when you win, you're still a rat.
Robert Collier
You can have anything you want-if you want it badly enough. You can be anything you want to be, have anything you desire, accomplish anything you set out to accomplish-if you will hold to that desire with singleness of purpose.
