"No

"You
gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in
which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able
to say to yourself, "I have lived through this horror. I
can take the next thing that comes along." . . . You must
do the thing you think you cannot do."
-Eleanor Roosevelt
"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
"Our
lives are not determined by what happens to us but by how we
react to what happens, not by what life brings to us, but by
the attitude we bring to life. A positive attitude causes a chain
reaction of positive thoughts, events, and outcomes. It is a
catalyst, a spark that creates extraordinary results." -Anon
"An
insincere and evil friend is more to be feared than a wild beast;
a wild beast may wound your body, but an evil friend
will wound your mind." - Buddha
"Hell
is the knowledge of opportunity lost; the place where the man
I am comes face to face with the
man I might have been." - unknown
"I
will act now. I will act now. I will act now. Henceforth, I will
repeat these words each hour, each day, everyday, until the words
become as much a habit as my breathing, and the action which
follows becomes as instinctive as the blinking of my eyelids.
With these words I can condition my mind to perform every action
necessary for my success. I will act now. I will repeat these
words again and again and again. I will walk where failures fear
to walk. I will work when failures seek rest. I will act now
for now is all I have. Tomorrow is the day reserved for the labor
of the lazy. I am not lazy. Tomorrow is the day when the failure
will succeed. I am not a failure. I will act now. Success will
not wait. If I delay, success will become wed to another and
lost to me forever. This is the time. This is the place. I am
the person.

"To
laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people
and the affection of children; to earn
the appreciation of honest critics and to endure the betrayal
of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others;
to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a
garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one
life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have
succeeded."- Ralph Waldo Emerson
"Even
though you may want to move forward in your life, you may have
one foot on the brakes. In order to be free, we must learn
how to let go. Release the hurt. Release the fear. Refuse to
entertain your old pain. The energy it takes to hang onto the
past is holding you back from a new life. What is it you would
let go of today?" -Mary Manin Morrissey
"Here's
to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The trouble-makers.
The round
heads in the square holes. The ones who see things differently.
They're not fond of rules, and they have no respect for the
status-quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify, or
vilify them. But the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because
they change things. They push the human race forward. And while
some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the
people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world,
are the ones who do."- Jack Kerouac
"Seldom
does an individual exceed his own expectations." - Unknown
"You
are not here merely to make a living. You are here in order
to enable the world to live more amply, with greater vision,
with a finer spirit of hope and achievement. You are here
to enrich
the world, and you impoverish yourself if you forget the
errand." -
Woodrow Wilson
"Mankind
is divided into rich and poor, into property owners and exploited;
and to abstract oneself from this fundamental
division ;and from the antagonism between poor and rich
means abstracting oneself from fundamental facts." - Joseph
Stalin
