Believe in yourself, listen to your gut, and do what you love.

Romance is mush, stifling those who strive.

Compromise is but the sacrifice of one right or good in the hope of retaining another - too often ending in the loss of both.

Tryon Edwards

Robert Collier

When what we are is what we want to be, that's happiness.

Malcolm Stevenson Forbes

The supreme prayer of my heart is not to be learned, rich, famous, powerful, or good, but simply to be radiant. I desire to radiate health, cheerfulness, calm courage, and good will. I wish to live without hate, whim, jealousy, envy, fear. I wish to be simple, honest, frank, natural, clean in mind and clean in body, unaffected - as ready to say I do not know, if it be so, and to meet all men on an absolute equality - to face any obstacle and meet every difficulty unabashed and unafraid.I wish others to live their lives, too - up to their highest, fullest, and best. To that end I pray that I may never meddle, interfere, dictate, give advice that is not wanted, or assist when my services are not needed. If I can help people, I'll do it by giving them a chance to help themselves; and if I can uplift or inspire, let it be by example, inference, and suggestion, rather than by injunction and dictation. That is to say, I desire to be radiant - to radiate life.

Elbert Hubbard, Love, Life & Wor

Kenneth Scott Latourette

If we cannot now end our differences, at least we can help make the world safe for diversity.

John Fitzgerald Kennedy

Where one person shapes their life by precept and example, there are a thousand who have shaped it by impulse and circumstances.

James Russell Lowell

An intelligent person is never afraid or ashamed to find errors in his understanding of things.

Bryant H. McGill

Trust him not with your secrets, who, when left alone in your room, turns over your papers.
