The man who succeeds above his fellows is the one who early in
life clearly discerns his object, and towards that object habitually directs
his powers. ~Earl Nightingale
-
Every calling is great when greatly pursued.
~Oliver Wendell Holmes
-
My goal is simple. It is complete understanding
of the universe, why it as it is and why it exists as all. ~Stephen Hawking
-
Having a defined purpose in view, the
atmosphere of thought you carry with you in your dealings with others, is a
power stronger to aid you than your spoken words. Because all who come in
contact with you will feel this atmosphere. If you have confidence in your
ability, if you are honest to the core, they will feel that confidence and
honesty after you leave them, and as you persist in your purpose, they will
feel it more and more, for that power is always working upon them. ~Prentice
Mulford
-
We are here to add what we can to life, not to
get what we can from it. ~William Osler
-
It must be
borne in mind that the tragedy of life doesn't lie in not reaching your goal.
It lies in having no goal to reach. It is not a calamity to die with dreams
unfilled, but it is a calamity not to dream. It is not a disgrace not to reach
the stars, but it is a disgrace not to have any stars to reach. Not failure,
but low aim, is the real sin. ~Benjamin Mays via Pablo Eisenberg
-
Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so
many to so few. ~Winston Churchill
-
Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a
present and not giving it ~William Arthur Ward
-
Courtesies of a small and trivial character are
the ones which strike deepest in the grateful and appreciating heart. ~Henry
Clay
-
The debt of gratitude we owe our mother and
father goes forward, not backward. What we owe our parents is the bill
presented to us by our children. ~Nancy Friday
-
The more you are grateful for what you have,
the more you will have to be grateful for because a grateful mind attracts
great things. ~Unknown
-
As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the
highest appreciation is
not to utter words, but to live by them. ~John Fitzgerald Kennedy
-
An understanding heart is everything in a
teacher, and cannot be esteemed highly enough. One looks back with
appreciation to the brilliant teachers, but with gratitude to those who
touched our human feeling. The curriculum is so much necessary raw material,
but warmth is the vital element for the growing plant and for the soul of
the child. ~Carl Jung
-
Let's be grateful for those who give us happiness; they are the
charming gardeners
who make our soul bloom. ~Marcel Proust

The man who views the world at 50 the same as he did at 20 has
wasted 30 years of his life. ~Muhammad Ali
-
Don't go through life, grow through life. ~Eric Butterworth
-
What you bring forth out of yourself from the inside will save
you. What you do not bring forth out of yourself from the inside will destroy
you. ~Gospel of Thomas
-
We find comfort among those who agree with us — growth among
those who don't. ~Frank A Clark
-
To contact the deeper truth of who we are, we must engage in
some activity or practice that questions what we assume to be true about
ourselves. ~A. H. Almaas
-
When you empty yourself of the illusions of who and what you
think you are, there is less to lose than you had feared. ~Carol Orsborn
-
The grand essentials of happiness are: something to do,
something to love, and something to hope for. ~Allan K. Chalmers
-
A great obstacle to happiness is to expect too much happiness.
~Fontenelle
-
Happiness is not a state to arrive at, but a
manner of traveling. ~Margaret Lee Runbeck
-
Happiness is not a reward-it is a consequence. Suffering is not
a punishment — it is a result. ~Robert Ingersoll
-
Yet we cannot reach happiness by consciously searching for it.
Ask yourself whether you are happy, and you cease to be so.
It is by being fully involved with every detail of our lives,
whether good or bad, that we find happiness, not by trying to look for it
directly. ~Unknown
-
The foolish man seeks happiness in the distance, the wise man
grows it under his feet. ~James Oppenheim
-
Happiness makes up in height for what it lacks in length.
~Robert Frost
-
Happiness isn't something you experience; it's something you
remember. ~Oscar Levent
-
Happiness is not a destination. It is a method of life. ~Burton
Hills
-
If there is sincerity in the heart, there will be beauty in the
character.
If there is beauty in the character, there will be harmony in the home.
If there is harmony in the home, there will be order in the nation.
When there is order in the nation, there will be peace in the world. ~3rd
Century B.C.
-
To create harmony at any price guarantees mediocrity in
organizations. Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without. ~Buddha

toward something you deeply desire. ~Dawna Markova
