The challenges of change are always hard. It is important that we begin to unpack those challenges that confront this nation and realize that we each have a role that requires us to change and become more responsible for shaping our own future.

In a controversy the instant we feel anger we have already ceased striving for the truth, and have begun striving for ourselves.

Buddha

Imagination is the real and eternal world of which this vegetable universe is but a faint shadow.

William Blake

When I see the blind and wretched state of men, when I survey the whole universe in its deadness, and man left to himself with no light, as though lost in this corner of the universe without knowing who put him there, what he has to do, or what will become of him when he dies, incapable of knowing anything, I am moved to terror, like a man transported in his sleep to some terrifying desert island, who wakes up quite lost, with no means of escape. Then I marvel that so wretched a state does not drive people to despair.

Blaise Pascal

My decision to end my marriage was such a risk to lose ratings and lose my fan base. I had to take that risk for my inner peace and to be happy with myself.

Kim Kardashian

For the happiest life, days should be rigorously planned, nights left open to chance.

Mignon McLaughlin

Were there none who were discontented with what they have, the world would never reach anything better.

Florence Nightingale

The soul should always stand ajar, ready to welcome the ecstatic experience.

Emily Dickinson

Too many of us are not living our dreams because we are living our fears.

Les Brown

Love has no age, no limit; and no death.

John Galsworthy

We should never despair, our Situation before has been unpromising and has changed for the better, so I trust, it will again. If new difficulties arise, we must only put forth New Exertions and proportion our Efforts to the exigency of the times.

George Washington

You know these things as thoughts, but your thoughts are not your experiences, they are an echo and after-effect of your experiences: as when your room trembles whe na carriage goes past. I however am sitting in the carriage, and often I am the carriage itself.Ina man who thinks like this, the dichotomy between thinking and feeling, intellect and passion, has really disappeared. He feels his thoughts. He can fall in love with an idea. An idea can make him ill.

Friedrich Nietzsche

We must not contradict, but instruct him that contradicts us; for a madman is not cured by another running mad also.

Antisthenes
