In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.

Martin Luther King Jr.
 
All of us, no matter how high or low, no matter how bright or dull, can take part in causing lawful things to happen through the firmness of our desire, belief, and expectancy.

Jose Silva
 
No matter how full a reservoir of maxims one may possess, and no matter how good one's sentiments may be, if one has not taken advantage of every concrete opportunity to act, one's character may remain entirely unaffected for the better.

William James
 
"Friendship is the hardest thing in the world to explain. It's not something you learn in school. But if you haven't learned the meaning of friendship, you really haven't learned anything."

-Muhammad Ali
 
Love and work are viewed and experienced as totally separate activities motivated by separate needs. Yet, when we think about it, our common sense tells us that our most inspired, creative acts are deeply tied to our need to love and that, when we lack love, we find it difficult to work creatively; that work without love is dead, mechanical, sheer competence without vitality, that love without work grows boring, monotonous, lacks depth and passion.

Marta Zahaykevich
 
You never know what is enough unless you know what is more than enough.


William Blake
 
Friendships are different from all other relationships. Unlike acquaintanceship, friendship is based on love. Unlike lovers and married couples, it is free of jealousy. Unlike children and parents, it knows neither criticism nor resentment. Friendship has no status in law. Business partnerships are based on a contract. So is marriage. Parents are bound by the law. But friendships are freely entered into, freely given, freely exercised.


-Stephen Ambrose
 
Your belief determines your action and your action determines your results, but first you have to believe.

Mark Victor Hansen
 
It’s not whether you get knocked down; it’s whether you get up.

Most of the mistakes in thinking are inadequacies of perception rather than mistakes of logic.

Edward de Bono
 
"Love - a wildly misunderstood although highly desirable malfunction of the heart which weakens the brain, causes eyes to sparkle, cheeks to glow, blood pressure to rise and the lips to pucker"

-Anonymous
 
"Until the day of his death, no man can be sure of his courage."

"I declare to you that woman must not depend upon the protection of man, but must be taught to protect herself, and there I take my stand."

-Susan B. Anthony, [speech in San Franscisco], July, 1871
 
He who is not contented with what he has, would not be contented with what he would like to have.

Socrates
 
If there is sin against life, it consists... in hoping for another life and in eluding the implacable grandeur of this life.

Albert Camus
 
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
 
Your chances of success in any undertaking can always be measured by your belief in yourself.

When you are laboring for others let it be with the same zeal as if it were for yourself.
