Life is a journey, and love is what makes that journey worthwhile.

Unknown

Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.

Thomas Edison

Go on your own

Do not follow where the path leads,
Rather go where there is no path, and leave a trail.

David Perkins

Attitude matters...

The greatest discovery of my generation is that a human being can alter his life by altering his attitudes of mind

William James

Fear None

Do the thing you are afraid to do and the death of fear is certain.

Emerson, Ralph Waldo

Mistakes in Life

A life making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing at all.

George Bernard Shaw

Power of Dreams.

Some men see things as they are and ask why.
Others dream things that never were and ask why not.

George Bernard Shaw
Irish Playwright and Critic

We grow great by dreams. All big men are dreamers. They see things in the soft haze of a spring day or in the red fire of a long winter's evening. Some of us let these great dreams die, but others nourish and protect them; nurse them through bad days till they bring them to the sunshine and light which comes always to those who sincerely hope that their dreams will come true.

Woodrow Wilson
28th US President

Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great.

Mark Twain
American Author, Humorist

Listening to critics

I like this one....

Pay no attention to what the critics say;
no statue has ever been erected to a critic.

Jean Sibelius
Finnish Composer

A quote by Mark Twain

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.

Mark Twain
American Author
