I don't know what your destiny will be, but one thing I do know: the only ones among you who
will be really happy are those who have sought and found how to serve.
Albert Schweitzer
The mind is its own place, and in itself, can make heaven of Hell, and a hell of Heaven.
John Milton in "Paradise Lost"
The finest workers in stone are not copper or steel tools, but the gentle touches of air and
water working at their leisure with a liberal allowance of time.
Henry David Thoreau
Such as are thy habitual thoughts, such also will be the character of thy soul - for the soul is
dyed by the thoughts.
Marcus Aurelius (121-180 A.D)
Our desires presage the capacities within us; they are harbingers of what we shall be able to
accomplish. What we can do and want to do is projected in our imagination, quite outside
ourselves, and into the future. We are attracted to what is already ours in secret. Thus
passionate anticipation transforms what is indeed possible into dreamt-for reality.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
What this power is I cannot say; all I know is that it exists and it becomes available only when
a man is in that state of mind in which he knows exactly what he wants and is fully determined
not to quit until he finds it.
Alexander Graham Bell
To believe your own thought, to believe that what is true for you in your private heart is true
for all men -- that is genius.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Cherish your visions; cherish your ideals; cherish the music that stirs in your heart, the beauty
that forms in your mind, the loveliness that drapes your purest thoughts, for out of them will
grow delightful conditions, all heavenly environment; of these if you but remain true to them,
your world will at last be built.
James Allen
He who reins within himself and rules passions, desires, and fears is more than a king.
John Milton in "Paradise Lost"
Nothing truly stops you. Nothing truly holds you back. For your own will is always within your
control.
Epictetus
You cannot run away from weakness; you must some time fight it out or perish; and if that be
so, why not now, and where you stand?
Robert Louis Stevenson
A creditor is worse than a slave-owner; for the master owns only your person, but a creditor
owns your dignity, and can command it.
Victor Hugo
We grow great by dreams. All big men are dreamers. They see things in the soft haze of a
spring day or in the red fire of a long winter's evening. Some of us let these great dreams die,
but others nourish and protect them; nurse them through bad days till they bring them to the
sunshine and light which comes always to those who sincerely hope that their dreams will
come true.
Woodrow Wilson
For a life that is sound and secure, cultivate a thorough insight into things and discover their
essence, matter, and cause; put your whole heart into doing what is just, and speaking what is
true; and for the rest, know the joy of life by piling good deed on good deed until no rift or
cranny appears between them.
Marcus Aurelius (121-180 A.D)
Wise men profit more from fools than fools from wise men; for the wise men shun the
mistakes of fools, but fools do not imitate the successes of the wise.
Cato the Elder quoted in Plutarch's
Parallel Lives
Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.
Winston Churchill
