Life Changing Quotes
So many quotes and messages I encounter, I mostly desire to carry them with me so that I live according to the feelings and dreams they envoke. Some I will carry, only my future self knows which ones. Take what you will, dreams are free.
"I was born to catch dragons in their dens And pick flowers To tell tales and laugh away the morning To drift and dream like a lazy stream And walk barefoot across sunshine days." James Kavanaugh
"If a man is called to be a street sweeper, he should sweep streets even as Michelangelo painted, or Beethoven played music, or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say, here lived a great street sweeper who did his job well." Martin Luther King Jr.
"The bond that links your true family is not one of blood, but of respect and joy in each other's life. Rarely do members of one family grow up under the same roof." Richard Bach
"I will permit no man to narrow and degrade my soul by making me hate him." Booker T. Washington
"There are only two ways of spreading light - to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it." Edith Wharton
"You cannot do a kindness too soon because you never know how soon it will be too late." Ralph Waldo Emerson
"Even if I knew that tomorrow the world would go to pieces, I would still plant my apple tree." Martin Luther
"If you hear a voice within you say 'you cannot paint,' then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced." Vincent Van Gogh
"One hundred percent of the shots you don't take don't go in." Wayne Gretzky
"When you plant lettuce, if it does not grow well, you don't blame the lettuce. You look for reasons it is not doing well. It may need fertilizer, or more water, or less sun. You never blame the lettuce. Yet if we have problems with our friends or family, we blame the other person. But if we know how to take care of them, they will grow well, like the lettuce. Blaming has no positive effect at all, nor does trying to persuade using reason and argument. That is my experience. No blame, no reasoning, no argument, just understanding. If you understand, and you show that you understand, you can love, and the situation will change." Thich Nhat Hanh
"The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams." Eleanor Roosevelt
"Some men see things as they are and ask why. Others dream things that never were and ask why not." George Bernard Shaw
"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
"Love the earth and sun and animals, Despise riches, give alms to everyone that asks, Stand up for the stupid and crazy, Devote your income and labor to others... And your very flesh shall be a great poem." Walt Whitman
"Evil (ignorance) is like a shadow--it has no real substance of its own, it is simply a lack of light. You cannot cause a shadow to disappear by trying to fight it, stamp on it, by railing against it, or any other form of emotional or physical resistance. In order to cause a shadow to disappear, you must shine light on it." Shakti Gawain
"Dreams are renewable. No matter what our age or condition, there are still untapped possibilities within us and new beauty waiting to be born." Dale E. Turner
"Dream as if you'll live forever... live as if you'll die today." James Dean
