There are many hypotheses in science which are wrong. That

s perfectly all right; they

The road of life twists and turns and no two directions are ever the same. Yet our lessons
come from the journey, not the destination.
Don Williams, Jr. quotes

Dream as if you'll live forever, live as if you'll die today.
James Dean quotes



The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more
important than facts. It is more important than the past, the education, the money, than
circumstances, than failure, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It
is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company...a
church...a
home.
The
remarkable
thing
is
we
have
a
choice
everyday
regarding
the
attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past...we cannont change the
fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing
we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that
life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it. And so it si with you...we are
in charge of our Attitudes.
Charles R. Swindoll quotes

Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a
new ending.
Maris Robinson quotes

Life is full of beauty. Notice it. Notice the bumble bee, the small child, and the smiling face.
Smell the rain, and feel the wind. Live your life to the fullest potential, and fight for your
dream.
Ashley Smith quotes

To love is to risk not being loved in return. To hope is to risk pain. To try is to risk failure,
but risk must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.

If you wait to do everything until you
’
re sure it
’
s right, you
’
ll probably never do much of
anything.
Win Borden quotes

Memory is a way of holding on to the things you love, the things you are, the things you
never want to lose.
Kevin Arnold quote

Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life - think of it, dream of it, live on that idea. Let
the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body, be
full of that idea, and
just leave
every other idea alone. This is the way to success, that is way great spiritual giants are
produced.
Swami Vivekananda quote

Perhaps our eyes need to be washed by our tears once in a while, so that we can see life
with a clearer view again.
Alex Tan quotes

Our attitude towards life determines life's attitude towards us.
John ll quotes



This is my wish for you: Comfort on difficult days, smiles when sadness intrudes, rainbows
to follow the clouds, laughter to kiss your lips, sunsets to warm your heart, hugs when
spirits sag, beauty for your eyes to see, friendships to brighten your being, faith so that
you can believe, confidence for when your doubt, courage to know yourself, patience to
accept the truth, love to complete your life.

For everything you have missed, you have gained something else, and for everything you
gain, you lose something else.
Ralph Waldo Emerson quotes

One day your life will flash before your eyes. Make sure its worth watching.

Sometimes it's the smallest decisions that can change your life forever.
Keri Russell quotes

Never waste a minute of your precious life by squandering it thinking about people you
don
’
t like.

To
laugh
often
and
much;
to
win
the
respect
of
intelligent
people
and
the
affection
of
children... to leave the world a better place...to know even one life has breathed easier
because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.
Ralph Waldo Emerson quotes

How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the
world.
Anne Frank quotes

When
we
long
for
life
without
difficulties,
remind
us
that
oaks
grow
strong
in
contrary
winds and diamonds are made under pressure.
Peter Marshall quotes

The greatest pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot do.
Walter Bagehot quote

People come into your life and people leave it
…
you just have to trust that life has a road
mapped out for you.
Orlando Bloom quotes(English actor, 1977)

Don
’
t listen to anyone who tells you that you can
’
t do this or that. That
’
s nonsense. Make
up your mind, you
’
ll never use crutches or a stick, then have a go at everything. Go to
school, join in all the games you can. Go anywhere you want to. But never, never let them
persuade that things are too difficult or impossible.
Douglas Bader quotes


I do believe that when we face challenges in life that are far beyond our own power, It
’
s an
opportunity to
build on our faith, inner strength, and
courage. I
’
ve
learned that how we
face challenges plays a big role in the outcome of them.
Sasha Azevedo quotes

Trust yourself. You know more than you think you do.
Benjamin Spock quotes (American pediatrician and author)

Our attitude toward life determines life
’
s attitude towards us.

Life may change, but it may fly not; Hope may vanish, but can die not; Truth be veiled, but
still it burneth; Love repulsed, - but it returneth.
Percy Bysshe Shelley quotes (English romantic poet )

I
’
ve learned that making a
“
living
”
is not the same thing as making a
“
life
”
.
Maya Angelou quotes

When we long of life without difficulties, remind us that oaks grow strong in contrary winds
and diamonds are made under pressure.
Peter Marshall quotes (American TV game show host 1927)

The greatest pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot do.
Walter Bagehot quotes

Life is what we make it, always has been, always will be.
Grandma Moses quotes

When I hear somebody sigh,
“
Life is hard,
”
I am always tempted to ask ,
“
compared to
what?
“

Sydney J. Harris quotes (American journalist and author)

Contemplation
often
makes
life
miserable.
We
should
act
more,
think
less,
and
stop
watching other
’
s life.

Of course life is bizarre, the more bizarre it gets, the more interesting it is. The only way to
approach it is to make yourself some popcorn and enjoy the show.

Life is short, don
’
t waste time worrying about what people think of you. Hold on to the ones
that care, in the end they will be the only ones there.
There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other
is as though everything is a miracle.
Albert Einstein quotes



You can
’
t always get what you want, but if you try sometimes, you might find, you get what
you need.
The Rolling Stones quotes

God allows us to experience the low points of life in order to teach us lessons we could not
learn in any other way. The way we learn those lessons is not to deny the feelings but to
find the meanings underlying them.
Stanley Lindquist quotes

Don
’
t go through life, grow through life.
Eric Butterworth quotes


One day at a time--- this is enough. Do not look back and grieve over the past for it is gone;
and do not be trouble about the future, for it has not yet come. Live in the present, and
make it so beautiful it will be worth remembering.

Life
’
s challenges are not supposed to paralyze you, you
’
re supposed to help you discover
who you are.
Bernice Johnson Reagon quotes (American historian and musician)
Friend Quotes
A friend is someone who understands your past, believes in your future, and accepts you
just the way you are.

Truly great friends are hard to find, difficult to leave, and impossible to forget.
A friend is someone who, upon seeing another friend in immense pain, would rather be
the one experiencing the pain than to have to watch their friend suffer.

Life is partly what we make it, and partly what it is made by the friends we choose.
Tennessee Williams quotes

Don't walk in front of me; I may not follow. Don't walk behind me; I may not lead. Just walk
beside me and be my friend.
Albert Camus quotes

A friend is someone who knows the song in your heart and can sing it back to you when
you have forgetten the words.

born
at
that
moment
when
one
person
says
to
another,
what!You
too?
I
thought I was the only one.
C.S. Lewis quote

True friendship comes when the silence between two people is comfortable.
David Tyson Gentry quotes


If you see a friend without a smile; give him one of yours.

I
’
ve
learned
that
people
will
forget
what
you
said,
people
will
forget
what
you
did,
but
people will never forget how you made them feel.
Maya Angelou quotes

This life is yours. Take the power to choose what you want to do and do it well. T
ake the
power to love what you
want in life and love it honestly. Take the power to walk in the
forest and be a part of nature. Take the power to control your own life. No one else can do
it for you. Take the power to make your life happy.
Susan Polis Schutz quotes

I really don
’
t think is about the I-could-have-beens. Life is only about the I-tried-to-do. I
don
’
t mind the failure but I can
’
t imagine that I
’
d forgive myself
if I didn’
t try.
Nikki Giovanni quotes

Live life so completely that when the death comes to you like a thief in the night, there will
be nothing for him to steal.

I you live your life in the past, you waste the life you have to live.

is all about timing

the
unreachable becomes reachable, the
unavailable
become
available, the unattainable
…
attainable. Have the patience, wait it out it
’
s all about timing.
Stacey Charter quotes

What makes life worth living is knowing that one day you
’
ll wake up and find the person
that makes you happier than anything in the whole world. So don

give up, everything turns out okay and the good guy always wins.

If I had to live my life again, I
’
d make the same mistakes, only sooner.
Tallulah Bankhead quotes

Thinking is easy, acting is difficult, and to put one
’
s thoughts into action is the most difficult
thing in the world.


Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe quotes

Action conquers fear.

Remember, people will judge you by your actions, not your intentions. You may have a
heart of gold
–
but so does a hard-boiled egg.

The more you are willing to accept responsibility for your actions, the more credibility you
will have.
Brian Koslow quotes

Many fine things can be done in a day if you don
’
t always make that day tomorrow.

Everything you want is out there waiting for you to ask. Everything you want also wants
you. But you have to take action to get it.

Jim Rohn quotes

Risk! Risk anything
！
Care no more for the opinions of others, for those voices. Do the
hardest thing on earth for you. Act for yourself. Face the truth.


Katherine Mansfield quotes

When you do nothing, you feel overwhelmed and powerless. But when you get involved,
you feel the sense of hope and accomplishment that comes from knowing you are woking
to make things better.

When it is obvious that the goals cannot be reached, don
’
t adjust the goals, adjust the
action steps.

Words should be used as tools of communication and not as a substitute for action.

You may never know what results come of your action, but if you do nothing there will be
no result.
Mhatma Gandhi quotes

The superior man acts before he speaks, and afterwards speaks according to his action.

Often
the
difference
between
a
successful
person
and
a
failure
is
not
one
has
better
abilities or ideas, but the courage that one has to bet on one
’
s ideas, to take a calculated
risk
–
and to act.
Andre Malraux quotes
