Hard work always pays off, whatever you do.

All the diversity, all the charm, and all the beauty of life are made up of light and shade.

Leo Tolstoy

Sometimes small things can become very large, indeed.

Rick Riordan

Being part of an agenda beyond ourselves liberates us to complement each other rather than compete with each other.

Joseph Stowell

To a very large extent men and women are a product of how they define themselves. As a result of a combination of innate ideas and the intimate influences of the culture and environment we grow up in, we come to have beliefs about the nature of being human. These beliefs penetrate to a very deep level of our psychosomatic systems, our minds and brains, our nervous systems, our endocrine systems, and even our blood and sinews. We act, speak, and think according to these deeply held beliefs and belief systems.

Jeremy W. Hayward

I do not think white America is committed to granting equality to the American Negro... this is a passionately racist country; it will continue to be so in the foreseeable future.

Susan Sontag

What the human eye observes causally and incuriously, the eye of the camera notes with relentless fidelity.

Berenice Abbott

Some natures are too good to be spoiled by praise.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

All men and women have an equal need for love. When these needs are not fulfilled it is easy to have our feelings hurt, for which we blame our partner.

John Gray

If you want to live a happy life, tie it to a goal, not to people or things.

Albert Einstein

Every successful man I have heard of has done the best he could with conditions as he found them...

Edward W. Howe

Reality only reveals itself when it is illuminated by a ray of poetry.

Georges Braque

One's destination is never a place, but rather a new way of looking at things.

Henry Miller
