The most important thing you wear is the expression on your face

We experience ourselves our thoughts and feelings as something separate from the rest. A kind of optical delusion of consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us.

Albert Einstein

Heaven knows that I have done all that a mortal could do, to save the people, and the failure was not my fault, but the fault of others.

Davy Crockett

He who has conquered doubt and fear has conquered failure.

James Lane Allen

The windows of my soul I throwWide open to the sun.

John Greenleaf Whittier

Don't let life discourage you everyone who got where he is had to begin where he was.

Richard L. Evans

George Washington

It is from books that wise people derive consolation in the troubles of life.

Victor Hugo

When feeling came back, in a storm of color and force and sensation, the most you could do was hold on to the person beside you and hope you could weather it. Alex closed her eyes and expected the worst-but it wasn't a bad thing; it was just a different thing. A messier one, more complicated one.

Jodi Picoult

You just keep pushing. You just keep pushing. I made every mistake that could be made. But I just kept pushing.
