![]() Life is
a big canvas, and you should throw all the paint you can on it.
In a very real sense, the writer writes in order to teach himself, to understand himself, to satisfy himself. (Alfred Kazin) I am only one; But still I am one. I cannot do everything, but still I can do something; I will not refuse to do the something I can do. (Helen Keller) I long to accomplish a great
and noble task, but it is my chief duty to Self pity is our worst enemy, and if we yield to it, we can never do anything wise in the world. (Helen Keller) Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country. (John F. Kennedy) Let us think of education as the means of developing our greatest abilities, because in each of us there is a private hope and dream which, fulfilled, can be translated into benefit for everyone and greater strength for our nation. (John F. Kennedy) Man is still the most extraordinary computer of all. (John F. Kennedy) Our progress as a nation can be no swifter than our progress in education. The human mind is our fundamental resource. (John F. Kennedy) (Happiness is) ... the full
use of your powers along lines of excellence. The time to repair the roof is when the sun is shining. (John F. Kennedy) Only
those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly. There was no such thing as half-trying. Whether it was running a race or catching a football, competing in school -- we were to try. And we were to try harder than anyone else. We might not be the best, and none of us were, but wee were to make the effort to be the best. (Robert F. Kennedy, talking about his father, Joseph Kennedy) The work goes on, the cause endures, the hope still lives and the dream shall never die. (Ted Kennedy) The most boring people in the
world, are the people who are bored most Darkness cannot drive out darkness, only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that. (Martin Luther King, Jr.) Everybody can be great...because
anybody can serve. You don't have to have a college degree to
serve. You don't have to make your subject and verb agree to
serve. You only need a heart full of grace, a soul generated
by love. Hatred paralyzes life; love releases it. Hatred confuses life; love harmonizes it. Hatred darkens life; love illumines it. (Martin Luther King, Jr.) Love is the only force capable
of transforming an enemy into friend. Our lives begin to end the day
we become silent about things that matter. If a man is called to be a streetsweeper, he should sweep streets even as Michaelangelo painted, or Beethoven played music, or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say, here lived a great streetsweeper who did his job well. (Martin Luther King, Jr.) In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends. (Martin Luther King, Jr.) Of all the liars in the world,
sometimes the worst are your own fears. The uncertainties of the present always give way to the enchanted possibilities of the future. (Kirkland) If the Creator had a purpose in equipping us with a neck, he surely meant us to stick it out. (Arthur Koestler) One sign of maturity is the
ability to be comfortable with people who are not like us. (Virgil A. Kraft) ![]() | Flexibility | Friendship | Humor | Integrity | Initiative | Organization | Patience | | Perseverance | Pride | Problem Solving | Responsibility | ![]() ![]() ![]() |
