Happiness comes of the capacity to feel deeply, to enjoy simply, to think freely, to risk life, to be needed.

"When it is dark enough, you can see the stars."
-- Charles Austin Beard
"Imagination has brought mankind through the dark ages to its present state of civilization. Imagination led Columbus to discover America. Imagination led Franklin to discover electricity. Imagination has given us the steam engine, the telephone, the talking-machine, and the automobile, for these things had to be dreamed of before they became realities. So I believe that dreams--daydreams, you know, with your eyes wide open and your brain machinery whizzing--are likely to lead to the betterment of the world. The imaginative child will become the imaginative man or woman most apt to invent, and therefore
to foster, civilization."
L. Frank Baum
There is a time for some things, and a time for all things; a time for great things, and a time for small things."
-- Miguel de Cervantes
"If you don't like something change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude. Don't complain.

-Henry Steele Commager Get mad, then get over it.
Colin Powell Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light not our darkness that frightens us. Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.
- Nelson Mandela Here is the test to find whether your mission on Earth is finished: if you're alive, it isn't.
Richard Bach

- Indian Proverb It is not our purpose to become each other; it is to recognize each other, to learn to see the other and honor him for what he is.
-Hermann Hesse
