Helen Mirren: “Fear sometimes stops you from doing stupid things. But it can also stop you from doing creative or exciting or experimental things. It can cloud your judgment of others, and lead to all kinds of evil. The control and understanding of our personal fears is one of the most important undertakings in our life.”
Henry David Thoreau: “When we are unhurried and wise, we perceive that only great and worthy things have any permanent and absolute existence, that petty fears and petty pleasures are but the shadow of the reality.”
Ann Richards: “I believe in recovery, and I believe that as a role model I have the responsibility to let young people know that you can make a mistake and come back from it.”
Robin Norwood: “Make your own recovery the first priority in your life.”
Dean Acheson: “The thing to remember is that that the future comes one day at a time.”
Lord Chesterfield: “Whatever you do, do it to the purpose; do it thoroughly, not superficially. Go to the bottom of things. Any thing half done, or half known, is in my mind, neither done nor known at all. Nay, worse, for it often misleads.”
Alice Roosevelt Longworth: “I have a simple philosophy. Fill what’s empty. Empty what’s full. And scratch where it itches.”
John Lilly: “In the province of the mind, what one believes to be true either is true or becomes true.”
Brooks Atkinson: “The perfect bureaucrat everywhere is the man who manages to make no decisions and escape all responsibility.”
Farrah Gray: “In life we don’t get what we want, we get in life what we are. If we want more we have to be able to be more, in order to be more you have to face rejection.”
Tom Peters: “Underpromise; overdeliver.”
Meredith Willson: “Never let the demands of tomorrow interfere with the pleasures and excitement of today.”
Helen Keller: “Life is either a daring adventure or nothing. Security does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than exposure.”
Oprah Winfrey: “Life is a reciprocal exchange. To move forward, you have to give back.”
Noah Porter: “Remember that what you believe will depend very much on what you are.”
Dave Kellett: “We all have such a finite time to leave the world better than we found it.”
Betty Friedan: “Aging is not ‘lost youth’ but a new stage of opportunity and strength.”
Dr. Robert Schuller: “What would you attempt to do if you knew you could not fail?”
Thomas Paine: “Such is the irresistible nature of truth that all it asks, and all it wants, is the liberty of appearing.”
