Always be a first-rate version of yourself,
instead of a second-rate version of
somebody else.
-- Judy Garland
Do you want me to tell you something
really subversive? Love is everything it's
cracked up to be. That's why people are
so cynical about it. . . . It really is worth
fighting for, being brave for, risking everything for.
And the trouble is, if you don't risk anything,
you risk even more.
-- Erica Jong
Dream lofty dreams, and as you dream, so you shall
become. Your vision is the promise of what you shall
one day be; your ideal is the prophecy of what you
shall at last unveil.
-- James Allen
Even if I don't reach all my goals, I've gone higher
than I would have if I hadn't set any.
-- Danielle Fotopoulis
God grant me the serenity to accept the things
I cannot change, courage to change the things I can,
and the wisdom to know the difference.
-- Reinhold Niebuhr
I expect to pass through this world but once;
any good thing therefore that I can do, or any
kindness that I can show to any fellow creature,
let me do it now; let me not defer or neglect it,
for I shall not pass this way again.
-- Stephan Grellet
If one advances confidently in the direction of one's
dreams, and endeavors to live the life which one has
imagined, one will meet with a success unexpected
in common hours.
