Love is the suspension of reality in favor of the sublime.
~ Jeffrey Fry
Everyone in your life gives you something. The bad ones give you experience, the worst ones a lesson; the good ones give you memories, the best ones, joy.
Living in the past is a place that has no future.
Others may predict my future but only I can determine my destiny.
The difficulty does not lie in finding new ideas, but in escaping the long outdated belief in old ones.
Trust yourself. Make sure your mistakes are your own, not somebody else’s.
Trust is a foundation built one brick at a time.
Trust is tough since it involves that quixotic mix of integrity, vulnerability, and intimacy. But trust anyway.
I believe it is possible to make magic every day.
Master yourself, your thoughts and feelings, and you master the whole universe.
Treasure the people who are willing and able to help you reach your goals.
Confidence is armor you cannot buy.
There is no feeling quite so lonely as failure.
Nothing in the world can take the place of Persistence. The desire and ability to press on has and always will solve the problems of the human race and divide those who achieve from those who might have been.
What differentiates humans from all other creatures is the deep and unquenching desire to be appreciated.
The difference between self love and being in love with yourself is that one results in giving and the other in taking.
Shine brightly, so you can help those who have not found their path a way through the darkness.
Committing to a goal does not always bring action, yet committing to an action will invariably bring you to your goal.
It is not age but experience that brings wisdom.
Just because you believe something was true in the past does not mean it will be true in the future.
I am pushed by those who believe in me, but motivated by those who don't.
You can get angry, you can get even, or you can get ahead.
A man convinced against his will, stands opposed ever still. A man convinced he is right, gives the effort twice the fight.
I would rather have someone say they hate me and mean it, than have someone say they love me and not.
Greatness comes not in possessing security, but in withstanding insecurity.
Learn the difference between good and great and then chose greatness.
Ignorance is bliss up to the point that it kills you.
All rivers pay homage to the ocean for it lies lowest.
To realize that everything in the universe is connected is to both accept our insignificance and understand our importance in it.
Entrepreneurship does not build character, it reveals character.
Skills can be trained, character is inbred.
Love’s value is not dependent on the person receiving it, but on the person giving it.
Do not grieve when something good ends, be glad that it happened.
It is not so important what deeds we do when times are good, but what good we do in bad times.
When you truly love, you can never really get hurt.
When you are happy, you are free; when you are free, you can be creative; when you are creative, your divine self comes out.
You can never be happy unless you learn to love yourself.
Worrying about things you cannot control is folly. Focus only on those few things you have any control over, and your life becomes much simpler.
Often doors of opportunity are opened, but few opt to walk through them.
Opportunity may come to the patient, but always comes to the persistent.
