Two types of voices command your attention today. Negative ones fill your mind with doubt, bitterness, and fear. Positive ones purvey hope and strength. Which one will you choose to heed?

~ Max Lucado

Time is a funny thing. I was always puzzled with the way a single day could stretch itself out to the point of eternity in your mind, all while years melted down into the fraction of a second.

~ Gloria Naylor

The tragedy in a man's life is what dies inside of him while he lives.

~ Albert Schweitzer

It is not in the stars to hold our destiny but in ourselves.

~ William Shakespeare

The function of freedom is to free someone else.

~ Toni Morrison

If you know someone who's depressed, please resolve never to ask them why. Depression isn't a straightforward response to a bad situation; depression just is, like the weather.
Try to understand the blackness, lethargy, hopelessness, and loneliness they're going through. Be there for them when they come through the other side. It's hard to be a friend to someone who's depressed, but it is one of the kindest, noblest, and best things you will ever do.

~ Stephen Fry

To regret one's own experiences is to arrest one's own development. To deny one's own experiences is to put a lie into the lips of one's own life. It is no less than a denial of the soul.

~ Oscar Wilde

We are the creative force of our life, and through our own decisions rather than our conditions, if we carefully learn to do certain things, we can accomplish those goals.

~ Stephen Covey

Nobody cares if you can't dance well. Just get up and dance.

Usually, when the distractions of daily life deplete our energy, the first thing we eliminate is the thing we need the most: quiet, reflective time. Time to dream, time to contemplate what's working and what's not, so that we can make changes for the better.

~ Sarah Ban Breathnach

Have courage for the great sorrows of life and patience for the small ones; and when you have laboriously accomplished your daily task, go to sleep in peace.

~ Victor Hugo

We need to learn to want what we have, not to have what we want, in order to get stable and steady happiness.

~ Dalai Lama

~ Brad Warner

Wherever you are, and whatever you do, be in love.

~ Rumi

Step into the fire of self-discovery. This fire will not burn you, it will only burn what you are not.

~ Mooji

Suffering is not enough. Life is both dreadful and wonderful. How can I smile when I am filled with so much sorrow? It is natural–you need to smile to your sorrow because you are more than your sorrow.

~ Thich Nhat Hanh

In the same way that rain breaks into a house with a bad roof, desire breaks into the mind that has not been practicing meditation.

~ Buddha

Do I prefer to grow up and relate to life directly, or do I choose to live and die in fear?
