Everything you can imagine is real.
-Pablo Picasso
The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts… take care that you entertain no notions unsuitable to virtue and reasonable nature.
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.
-Theodore Roosevelt
Live in the world like a waterfowl. The water clings to the bird, but the bird shakes it off. Live in the world like a mudfish. The fish lives in the mud, but its skin is always bright and shiny.
-Ramakrishna Paramahamsa
