Og Mandino: “Realize that true happiness lies within you. Waste no time and effort searching for peace and contentment and joy in the world outside. Remember that there is no happiness in having or in getting, but only in giving. Reach out. Share. Smile. Hug. Happiness is a perfume you cannot pour on others without getting a few drops on yourself.”
Tom Morris: “The only way most people recognize their limits is by trespassing on them.”
It is time for the last dance festival of this summer; Summerlake! I have some great memories of this festival from two years ago, and this years edition will be even more special as my friend Dina aka DJ DNA will make us dance to her beats after winning the DJ contest earlier! Looking forward woohoooo!! 🙂
Susan J. Bissonette: “An optimist is the human personification of spring.”
Epictetus: “Make the best use of what is in your power, and take the rest as it happens.”
J. K. Rowling: “Imagination is not only the uniquely human capacity to envision that which is not, and, therefore, the foundation of all invention and innovation. In its arguably most transformative and relevetory capacity, it is the power that enables us to empathize with humans whose experiences we have never shared.”
John Muir: “Keep close to Nature’s heart… and break clear away, once in awhile, and climb a mountain or spend a week in the woods. Wash your spirit clean. None of Nature’s landscapes are ugly so long as they are wild.”
Gloria Swanson: “Never say never, for if you live long enough, chances are you will not be able to abide by its restrictions. Never is a long, undependable time, and life is too full of rich possibilities to have restrictions placed upon it.”
Jane Austen: “If any one faculty of our nature may be called more wonderful than the rest, I do think it is memory. There seems something more speakingly incomprehensible in the powers, the failures, the inequalities of memory, than in any other of our intelligences. The memory is sometimes so retentive, so serviceable, so obedient; at others, so bewildered and so weak; and at others again, so tyrannic, so beyond control! We are, to be sure, a miracle every way; but our powers of recollecting and of forgetting do seem peculiarly past finding out.”
Anne Frank: “How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world.”
Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley: “Nothing contributes so much to tranquilizing the mind as a steady purpose – a point on which the soul may fix its intellectual eye.”
Eleanor Roosevelt: “The purpose of life is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience.”
Christine Bovee: “Doubt whom you will, but never yourself.”
Annie Lennox:Â Ask yourself: Have you been kind today? Make kindness your daily modus operandi and change your world.”
Denise Levertov: “Marvelous Truth, confront us at every turn, in every guise.”
Hugh Elliott: “Miracles: You do not have to look for them. They are there, 24-7, beaming like radio waves all around you. Put up the antenna, turn up the volume – snap… crackle… this just in, every person you talk to is a chance to change the world…”
Henri Matisse: “What I dream of is an art of balance.”
Joss Whedon: “Everything is a drug. Family, art, causes, new shoes… We’re all just tweaking our chem to avoid the void.”
Edward Everett Hale: “Never bear more than one trouble at a time. Some people bear three kinds – all they have had, all they have now, and all they expect to have.”
Hadewijch of Antwerp: “May your service of love a beautiful thing; want nothing else, fear nothing else and let love be free to become what love truly is.”
