“Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it.” (Goethe)

“Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation) there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one’s favour all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamed would have come his way” (W.H. Murray)

“If you say you can, you can. If you say you can’t, your right”! (Benjamin Franklin)

“Perhaps the single most important therapeutic credo that I have is that the unexamined life is not worth living” (Irving Yalom)

“…you should really make a radical change in your lifestyle and begin to boldly do things which you may have previously never have thought of doing, or maybe too hesitant to attempt.So many people life within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned to a life of security, conformity and conservatism, all of which may appear to give one piece of mind, but in reality nothing is more damaging to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future. The very basic of a man’s living spirit is his passion for adventure. The joy of life comes form our encounter with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun…don’t hesitate or allow yourself to make excuses. Just get out and do it. Just get out and do it. You will be very, very glad you did”. (Alex McCandless)

“Neither a lofty degree of intelligence, nor imagination, nor both together go to making genius. Love, love, love, that is the Soul of Genius” (Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart)

“Doesn’t everything die at last, and too soon?
Tell me, what is it you plan to do
with your one wild and precious life”?
(Poem by Mary Oliver – Summer Day)

“Once in a while, it really hits people that they do not have to experience the world in the way they have been told to” (Alan Keightley)

“Do your best with what’s in front of you and leave the rest to the powers above you” (Someone’s Grandfather)

“There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.” Albert Einstein (1879-1955)

“Money never attracts passion, but passion always attracts money” (Seket. K)

“I would rather struggle on my feet, than live on my knees” (anonymous)

“It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is the most adaptable to change.” (Charles Darwin)

“Make up your mind to act decidedly and take the consequences. No good is ever done in this world by hesitation.” (Thomas Huxley)

“Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring, those ripples build a current that can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance…Moral courage is a greater commodity than bravery in battle or great intelligence. Yet it is the one essential vital quality for those who seek to change a world that yields most painfully to change” (John F. Kennedy)

“Storms make trees take deeper routes” (George Herbert)

“You do not get to choose how or when you die. You only get to choose how you’re going to live’

“You can not change your destination over night, but you can change your direction over night” (Jim Rohn)

“The highest form of ignorance is when you reject something you don’t know anything about” (Wayne Dyer)

“You must do the things today that others will not do so that you can have the things tomorrow that others will not have.” (Anonymous)

“Everything is determined, the beginning as well as the end, by forces over which we have no control. It is determined for insects as well as for the stars. Human beings, vegetables or cosmic dust, we all dance to a mysterious tune, intoned in the distance”. (Albert Einstein)

“An invasion of armies can be resisted, but not an idea whose time has come”. (Victor Hugo)

“The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift” (Albert Einstein)

“The value of life lies not in the length of days, but in the very use we make of them; a man may live long yet live very little.” (Montaigne)

“We must be willing to let go of the life we have planned, so as to accept the life that is waiting for us.” (J. Campbell)

“Religion has actually convinced people that there is an invisible man, living in the sky, who watches everything you do every minute of every day. And the invisible man has a special list of ten things he does not want you to do. And if you do any of these ten things, he has a special place full of fire and smoke and burning and torture and anguish where he will send *you* to live and suffer and burn and choke and scream and cry forever and ever till the end of time… but he loves you” (George Carlin)

“Some people live their entire lives well nourished. They die happy and at ease. Others live their entire lives in hardship and die bitter and miserable. But in the end, they both die” (Anonymous)
