It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are. ~e.e. cummings
First they ignore you, then they laugh at you,
then they fight you, then you win.
Mohandas Gandhi
Belief is a wise wager. Granted that faith cannot be proved, what harm will come to you if you gamble on its truth and it proves false? If you gain, you gain all; if you lose, you lose nothing. Wager, then, without hesitation, that He exists.
Blaise Pascal
.
Men of integrity, by their very existence, rekindle the belief that as a people we can live above the level of moral squalor. We need that belief; a cynical community is a corrupt community.
John W. Gardner
When a woman tells the truth she is creating the possibility for more truth around her.
Adrienne Rich
The truth is incontrovertible, malice may attack it, ignorance may deride it, but in the end; there it is.
Winston Churchill
Work is love made visible.
Kahlil Gibran
It may be hard for an egg to turn into a bird: it would be a jolly sight harder for it to learn to fly while remaining an egg. We are like eggs at present. And you cannot go on indefinitely being just an ordinary, decent egg. We must be hatched or go bad.
C. S. Lewis
Moral indignation is jealousy with a halo.
H. G. Wells
The proud man can learn humility, but he will be proud of it.
Mignon McLaughlin
The first question here, then, is not "What is best for my soul?" nor is it even "What is most useful to humanity?" But--transcending both these limited aims--what function must this life fulfill in the great and secret economy of God?
Evelyn Underhill
Dear to us are those who love us... but dearer are those who reject us as unworthy, for they add another life; they build a heaven before us whereof we had not dreamed, and thereby supply to us new powers out of the recesses of the spirit, and urge us to new and unattempted performances.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Winston Churchill
We're given second chances every day of our life. We don't usually take them, but they're there for the taking.
Andrew M. Greeley
If you have made mistakes, even serious ones, there is always another chance for you. What we call failure is not the falling down but the staying down.
Mary Pickford
Thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared.
Buddah
The purpose of life is not to win. The purpose of life is to grow and to share. When you come to look back on all that you have done in life, you will get more satisfaction from the pleasure you have brought into other people's lives than you will from the times that you outdid and defeated them.
Rabbi Harold Kushner
In the end we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.
Martin Luther KIng, Jr.
Thoughout history, it has been the inaction of those who could have acted; the indifference of those who should have known better; the silence of the voice of justice when it mattered most; that has made it possible for evil to triumph.
Haile Selassie
To the wrongs that need resistance,
To the right that needs assistance,
To the future in the distance,
Give yourselves.
Carrie Chapman Catt
Miracles are a retelling in small letters of the very same story which is written across the whole world in letters too large for some of us to see.
