If your heart is a volcano, how shall you expect flowers to bloom?
-Khalil Gibran
Any system of religion that has anything in it that shocks the mind of a child, cannot be a true system.
-Thomas Paine
You have to decide what your highest priorities are and have the courage - pleasantly, smilingly, nonapologetically - to say 'no' to other things. And the way to do that is by having a bigger 'yes' burning inside. The enemy of the 'best' is often the 'good.'
-Stephen Covey
Agreed, there cannot be anything in this world more encouraging and exciting
than success. But success is achieved only by those, who refuse to relent on
their efforts even in trying times.
-Deep Trivedi
If you can imagine it, you can achieve it. If you can dream it, you can become it.
-William Arthur Ward
To live worthily with self-respect, one has to overcome difficulties. It is out of hard and ceaseless struggle alone that one derives strength, confidence and recognition.
Condemn none: if you can stretch out a helping hand, do so. If you cannot, fold your hands, bless your brothers, and let them go their own way.
-Swami Vivekananda
