once, with beauty and courage. Perhaps everything that frightens us is, in its deepest
essence, something helpless that wants our love.
Rainer Maria Rilke

already: We have the power to imagine better.
Joanne K. Rowling

already happened or that which hasn't happened yet... Contemplate how much energy is
wasted resisting what might happen. Since most of the things you think might happen never
do, you are just throwing your energy away.
Michael A. Singer

here-and-now. Seize the day.
Saul Bellow

Actually, who are you not to be?
Nelson Mandela

Scientific truth is marvellous, but moral truth is divine; and whoever breathes its air and walks
by its light, has found the lost paradise. For him, a new heaven and a new earth have already
been created.
Horace Mann

When the road looks rough ahead, remember the "Man upstairs" and the word Hope. Hang onto
both and "tough it out."
John Wayne

Some injuries heal more quickly if you keep moving. The same is true of setbacks in life.
Perhaps you lose your job. A relationship might not work out. Maybe the bills are piling up.
Don't put your life on hold so that you can dwell on the unfairness of past hurts. Look instead
for ways to move forward.
Nick Vujicic

Stand for something or you will fall for anything. Today's mighty oak is yesterday's nut that
held its ground.
