Making your mark on the world is hard. If it were easy, everybody would do it. But it's not. It takes patience, it takes commitment, and it comes with plenty of failure along the way. The real test is not whether you avoid this failure, because you won't. it's whether you let it harden or shame you into inaction, or whether you learn from it; whether you choose to persevere......





Perhaps this is what the stories meant when they called somebody heartsick. Your heart and your stomach and your whole insides felt hollow and empty and aching...............







Tears are words the mouth can't say nor can the heart bare................








What loneliness is more lonely than distrust..........?







I prefer winter and fall, when you feel the bone structure of the landscape - the loneliness of it, the dead feeling of winter. Something waits beneath it.........








Trust your intuition and be guided by love................








The glue that holds all relationships together,  including the relationship between the leader and the led is trust, and trust is based on integrity..............








If you once forfeit the confidence of your fellows, you can never regain their respect and esteem. It is true that you may fool all the people sometime, you can even fool some people all the time, but you can't fool all the people all the time.........







Analyses of others are actually expressions of our own needs and values...............








For everything you have missed, you have gained something else, and for everything you gain, you lose something else.............







Satisfaction of one's curiosity is one of the greatest sources of happiness in life.............










Only barbarians are not curious about where they come from, how they came to be where they are, where they appear to be going, whether they wish to go there, and if so, why, and if not, why not.................








Anger is the enemy of nonviolence and pride is a monster that swallows it up............








Grace means more than gifts. In grace something is transcended, once and for all overcome. Grace happens in spite of something; it happens in spite of separateness and alienation. Grace means that life is once again united with life, self is reconciled with self. Grace means accepting the abandoned one. Grace transforms fate into a meaningful vocation. It transforms guilt to trust and courage. The word grace has something triumphant in it...........







It's a sad day when you find out that it's not accident or time or fortune, but just yourself that kept things from you..............







Wherever a man may happen to turn, whatever a man may undertake, he will always end up by returning to the path which nature has marked out for him...................








The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed...................








Feeling and longing are the motive forces behind all human endeavor and human creations....................









You may not always be able to feel a deeper heart feeling right away, but stay focused in the heart. The sincerity of your effort can reconnect you to your heart and start the juices flowing. To plug in, think of someone you love or remember what feels good, maybe a fulfilling experience................








You are not entitled to an opinion. An opinion is what you have when you don't have any facts. When you have the facts, you don't need an opinion....................








Sit down before fact as a little child, be prepared to give up every preconceived notion, follow humbly wherever or whatever abysses nature leads, or you will learn nothing..........................








Whatever games are played with us, we must play no games with ourselves, but deal in our privacy with the last honesty and truth...........







The opinion which other people have of you is their problem, not yours........








You never find yourself until you face the truth...........








It's hard to fight an enemy who has outposts in your head............








My great mistake, the fault for which I can't forgive myself, is that one day I ceased my obstinate pursuit of my own individuality...........







To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance..................







If one is lucky, a solitary fantasy can totally transform one million realities................








Intuition comes very close to clairvoyance; it appears to be the extrasensory perception of reality................








Reality is a question of perspective; the further you get from the past, the more concrete and plausible it seems, but as you approach the present, it inevitably seems incredible............










The worst evil of all is to leave the ranks of the living before one dies.............








Today is a new day. You will get out of it just what you put into it. If you have made mistakes, there is always another chance for you. And supposing you have tried and failed again and again, you may have a fresh start any moment you choose, for this thing we call 'failure' is not the falling down, but the staying down.............








Obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it....................








Where there is a will, there is a way. If there is a chance in a million that you can do something, anything, to keep what you want from ending, do it. Pry the door open or, if need be, wedge your foot in that door and keep it open..................







Just don't give up trying to do what you really want to do. Where there's love and inspiration, I don't think you can go wrong...............








Develop an attitude of gratitude, and give thanks for everything that happens to you, knowing that every step forward is a step toward achieving something bigger and better than your current situation...............








No road is too long for him who advances slowly and does not hurry, and no attainment is beyond his reach who equips himself with patience to achieve it.................








Great things are done by a series of small things brought together..................








Push on, keep moving.................








Sometimes reason and love are met with a violent ignorance that even what's right gets lost......








If you live long enough, you'll make mistakes. But if you learn from them, you'll be a better person. It's how you handle adversity, not how it affects you. The main thing is never quit, never quit, never quit...........








There is no failure except in no longer trying..............

  1. When you get into a tight place and everything goes against you, till it seems as though you could not hang on a minute longer, never give up then, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn.
