Will Rogers
Some of us think holding on makes us strong; But sometimes it is letting go.
Hermann Hesse
I think if I've learned anything about friendship, it's to hang in, stay connected, fight for them, and let them fight for you. Don't walk away, don't be distracted, don't be too busy or tired, don't take them for granted. Friends are part of the glue that holds life and faith together.
Jon Katz
We are like this lilac tree. We cannot change where God has put us. If we are to bloom at all, we must bloom where we have been planted.

This is still the real work at hand: for each one of us to meet the bad in the world with the good in our own hearts.
Elizabeth Lesser
John’s (John Lennon) outlook is still in me. I remember him saying that in order for there to be world peace, there has to be peace in the whole world. That means each country has to be at peace. Each village in each town, each person in each house. So, peace really starts with you and me! Give peace a chance and maybe we can all come together.

People often say that motivation doesn’t last. Well, neither does bathing - that’s why we recommend it daily.
Zig Ziglar
…any mistakes that you’ve ever made in your life…God never condemned you. God doesn’t forgive you because God never condemned you. Real forgiveness means recognizing that only the love, only the goodness, is the energy that is real in this world. And anything else is just a detour you took. God’s not angry because you took a detour in your life. God doesn’t see mistakes we’ve made as sins that he wants to punish. God sees mistakes we’ve made as mistakes that represent places where we forgot our love, we didn’t hurt him, we hurt ourselves.
Marianne Williamson
The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist expects it to change; the realist adjusts the sails.

Francis of Assisi
Every day we’re given a choice: We can relax and float in the direction that the water flows, or we can swim hard against it. If we go with the river, the energy of a thousand mountain streams will be with us, filling our hearts with courage and enthusiasm. If we resist the river, we will feel rankled and tired as we tread water, stuck in the same place.
Elizabeth Lesser
When one door closes, another opens; but we often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door that we do not see the one which has opened for us.

watch your words, they become actions;
watch your actions, they become habits;
watch your habits, they become character;
watch your character, for it becomes your destiny.

Human kindness has never weakened the stamina or softened the fiber of a free people. A nation does not have to be cruel to be tough.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
…it was not ideas that change the world but simple gestures of love given to the people around you, and often to those you feel most at odds with.
Thomas Merton
If you want a yardstick with which to judge whether a thing is good for the human race or not, ask yourself a simple question: What would happen if everyone did it? This is a very easy measure, and a very accurate one. If everyone did a thing, and the result was of ultimate benefit to the human race, then that is “evolved”. If everyone did it and it brought disaster to the human race, then that is not a very “elevated” thing to recommend.
God through Neale Donald Walsch
Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are.
John Wooden
No amount of regretting can change the past, and no amount of worrying can change the future.

In a world filled with hate, we must still dare to hope. In a world filled with anger, we must still dare to comfort. In a world filled with despair, we must still dare to dream. And in a world filled with distrust, we must still dare to believe.
Michael Jackson
This country will not be a good place for any of us to live in unless we make it a good place for all of us to live in.

All human actions are motivated at their deepest level by one of two emotions - fear or love. In truth there are only two emotions - only two words in the language of the soul . . . Every human thought, and every human action, is based in either love or fear.

We have two ears and one mouth so that we can listen twice as much as we speak.
Epictetus
As we walk our individual life journeys, we pick up resentments and hurts, which attach themselves to our souls like burrs clinging to a hiker’s socks. These stowaways may seem insignificant at first, but, over time, if we do not occasionally stop and shake them free, the accumulation becomes a burden to our souls.
Richard Paul Evans
One of the hardest decisions you’ll ever face in life is choosing whether to walk away or try harder.

As my favorite preacher, Peter Gomes, says about how one should handle adversity in life, “Get used to it, get over it, and get on with it.”
David Gergen
What will get you from here to there most quickly is total honesty – being willing to assert, acknowledge, and declare exactly how you feel about a thing. Say your truth – kindly, but fully and completely. Live your truth, gently, but totally and consistently. Change your truth easily and quickly when your experience brings you new clarity.
God, through Neale Donald Walsch
In life when one door closes, another door always opens…but the hallways are a bitch.
