“Never limit yourself because of others’ limited imagination; never limit others because of your own limited imagination.”-- Mae Jemison
“There are many persons of combative tendencies, who read for ammunition, and dig out of the Bible iron for balls. They read, and they find nitre and charcoal and sulphur for powder. They read, and they find cannon. They read, and they make portholes and embrasures. And if a man does not believe as they do, they look upon him as an enemy, and let fly the Bible at him to demolish him. So men turn the word of God into a vast arsenal, filled with all manner of weapons, offensive and defensive.” -Henry Ward Beecher
“I have been impressed with the urgency of doing. Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Being willing is not enough; we must do.”-- Leonardo da Vinci

“Happiness consists of living each day as if it were the first day of your honeymoon and the last day of your vacation.”-- Leo Tolstoy
"The grand obstacle to the salvation of the scribes and Pharisees was their pride, vanity and self-love. They lived on each other’s praise. If they had acknowledged Christ as the only good teacher, they must have given up the good opinion of the multitude; and they chose rather to lose their souls than to forfeit their reputation among men! -Adam Clarke
“The only way to discover the limits of the possible is to go beyond them into the impossible.”
Be the kind of person who isn’t afraid to ask someone if they are okay twice if they say they are but look like they aren’t. Be the kind of person who smiles at people even if they don’t smile back. Be the kind of person you wished for when no one was there for you. Be the kind of person who is brave enough to stand alone in a crowd for what is right. Be that person because we need more people like that in the world. Be that person because people like that are rarer than the rarest diamonds and gold."-- Nikita Gill

“Hundreds of men are hoarse from continual speaking, and are wearied out with running here and running there. If things slow down, we evolve yet another type of meeting. And when this new and added wheel is spinning merrily with all the other wheels, there may be no spiritual outcome whatsoever, but there is a wind blowing in our faces; and we hot and sticky engineers have a comfortable feeling that something is going on.” -A.J. Gossip-
“It’s okay if you fall apart sometimes. Tacos fall apart and we still love them.”-- Author Unknown

“The bad news is time flies. The good news is you’re the pilot.”-- Michael Altshuler
“Most of us need to be reminded that we are good, that we are lovable, that we belong. If we knew just how powerfully our thoughts, words, and actions affected the hearts of those around us, we’d reach out and join hands again and again. Our relationships have the potential to be a sacred refuge, a place of healing and awakening. With each person we meet, we can learn to look behind the mask and see the one who longs to love and be loved.”-- Tara Brach
