Hubert H. Humphrey: “You cannot go around and keep score. If you keep score on the good things and the bad things, you’ll find out that you’re a very miserable person. God gave man the ability to forget, which is one of the greatest attributes you have. Because if you remember everything that’s happened to you, you generally remember that which is the most unfortunate.”
Ella Wheeler Wilcox: “Love much. Earth has enough of bitter in it.”
Bruce Lee: “To know oneself is to study oneself in action with another person.”
Sugar: “You don’t have to get a job that makes others feel comfortable about what they perceive as your success. You don’t have to explain what you plan to do with your life. You don’t have to justify your education by demonstrating its financial rewards. You don’t have to maintain an impeccable credit score. Anyone who expects you to do any of those things has no sense of history or economics or science or the arts.
You have to pay your own electric bill. You have to be kind. You have to give it all you got. You have to find people who love you truly and love them back with the same truth.
But that’s all.”
Austin O’Malley: “Those that think it permissible to tell white lies soon grow color blind.”
Norman Mailer: “One thing I’ve learned in all these years is not to make love when you really don’t feel it; there’s probably nothing worse you can do to yourself than that.”
Frank Warren: “Trade your secrets and become who you are.”
Dorothee Solle: “If my hands are fully occupied in holding on to something, I can neither give nor receive.”
Edith Wharton: “True originality consists not in a new manner but in a new vision.”
Rabbinical Saying: “Don’t limit a child to your own learning, for he was born in another time.”
Elizabeth Aston: “Concern for someone else was a good remedy for taking the mind off one’s own troubles.”
Gordon Atkinson: “Love the ones you can. Touch the ones you can reach. Let the others go.”
Victor Hugo: “Winter is on my head, but eternal spring is in my heart.”
Irish Proverb: “Praise youth and it will prosper.”
Meryl Streep: “I have always regarded myself as the pillar of my life.”
Dorothy Day: “I have long since come to believe that people never mean half of what they say, and that it is best to disregard their talk and judge only their actions.”
Ellen Metcalf: “You have to recognize when the right place and the right time fuse and take advantage of that opportunity. There are plenty of opportunities out there. You can’t sit back and wait.”
Ken Keyes Jr.: “A loving person lives in a loving world. A hostile person lives in a hostile world. Everyone you meet is your mirror.”
Charles Dickens: “Reflect on your present blessings, of which every man has many; not on your past misfortunes, of which all men have some.”
Indira Gandhi: “My grandfather once told me that there were two kinds of people: those who do the work and those who take the credit. He told me to try to be in the first group; there was much less competition.”
