Don't ask yourself what the world needs;
ask yourself what makes you come alive.
And then go and do that.
Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.

~Howard Thurman

I expect to pass through this world but once.
Any good therefore that I can do,
or any kindness or ablities that
I can show to any fellow creature,
let me do it now.
Let me not defer it or neglect it,
for I shall not pass this way again.

~William Penn

To live content with small means;
to seek elegance rather than luxury;
and refinement rather than fashion;
to be worthy, not respectable;
and wealthy, not rich;
to study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly;
to listen to stars and birds,
to babes and sages, with open heart;
to bear all cheerfully, do all bravely,
await occasion, hurry never;
in a word, to let the spiritual,
unbidden and unconscious grow up through the common.
This is to be my symphony.
Shine.

~William Ellery Channing

When I dare to be powerful,
to use my strength in the service of my vision,
then it becomes less and less important whether I am afraid.

~Audre Lorde

Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence.
Talent will not; nothing is more common
than unsuccessful men with talent.
Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb.
Education alone will not;
the world is full of educated derelicts.
Persistence and determination
alone are omnipotent.
The slogan "press on" has solved
and always will solve
the problems of the human race.

~John Calvin Coolidge

Normal day, let me be aware of the treasure you are.
Let me learn from you, love you, bless you before you depart.
Let me not pass you by in quest
of some rare and perfect tomorrow.
Let me hold you while I may,
for it may not always be so.
One day I shall dig my nails into the earth,
or bury my face in the pillow,
or stretch myself taut,
or raise my hands to the sky and want,
more than all the world, your return.

~Mary Jean Iron

Let us be about setting high standards for life,
love, creativity, and wisdom.
If our expectations in these areas are low,
we are not likely to experience wellness.
Setting high standards makes every day
and every decade worth looking forward to.

~Greg Anderson

Life is an opportunity, benefit from it.
Life is beauty, admire it.
Life is bliss, taste it.
Life is a dream, realize it.
Life is a challenge, meet it.
Life is a duty, complete it.
Life is a game, play it.
Life is a promise, fulfill it.
Life is sorrow, overcome it.
Life is a song, sing it.
Life is a struggle, accept it.
Life is a tragedy, confront it.
Life is an adventure, dare it.
Life is luck, make it.
Life is too precious, do not destroy it.
Life is life, fight for it.
