“Life's a song,sing it”
Mother Teresa

“The Law of the Garbage Truck,” was this: “Many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of garbage, full of frustration, full of anger, and full of disappointment. As their garbage piles up, they look for a place to dump it. And if you let them, they’ll dump it on you. So when someone wants to dump on you, don’t take it personally. It doesn’t have anything to do with you. Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on. Believe me, you’ll be happier.”
Joel Osteen

“Avoid hating people because you might have destroyed the bridge you have just used to cross the river; you'll need that bridge to cross again when returning!”
Israelmore Ayivor

“But it is not enough for me to stand before you tonight and condemn riots. It would be morally irresponsible for me to do that without, at the same time, condemning the contingent, intolerable conditions that exist in our society. These conditions are the things that cause individuals to feel that they have no other alternative than to engage in violent rebellions to get attention. And I must say tonight that a riot is the language of the unheard. And what is it America has failed to hear? It has failed to hear that the plight of the negro poor has worsened over the last twelve or fifteen years. It has failed to hear that the promises of freedom and justice have not been met. And it has failed to hear that large segments of white society are more concerned about tranquility and the status quo than about justice and humanity.”
Martin Luther King Jr

“Of all the forms of inequality, injustice in health care is the most shocking and inhumane.”
Martin Luther King Jr

“It is usually meaningless work, not overwork, that wears us down, saps our strength, and robs our joy.”
Rick Warren

“One need only posit some threat to the public tranquility and any action can be justified. All the horrors of the reign of terror were based on concern for public tranquility.” ―
Leo Tolstoy

“A true Brahmachari will not even dream of satisfying the fleshly appetite”
Mahatma Gandhi

“I'm a greater believer in luck, and I find the harder I work the more I have of it”
Thomas Jefferson

“Take things as they are. Punch when you have to punch. Kick when you have to kick.”
Bruce Lee

“Imagination is a faculty of the mind which can be cultivated, developed, extended and broadened by use.”
Napoleon Hill

“1. Watch the news together. Select one crisis and answer the question: If I was in charge of this what would I do? List solution-steps they could take. 2. Groom the optimist in them. Have them read and listen to positive books and tapes. Feed them with big ideas from great people. 3. Have them write out their dreams. Then, have them list their skills and talents. Do any match? Ask them what they would do if they had no fear of failure. 4. Go with them to interview a visionary leader. Ask that leader how they think about problems. How do they perceive opportunities? 5. Discuss current events each week. Ask them to identify one burden or problem”
John C. Maxwell

“Everything that God calls us to do, He will help us do.”
Joyce Meyer

“Without dark clouds in our lives we would never know the joy of sunshine. We can become callous and unteachable if we do not learn from pain.”
Billy Graham

“The inquisition of public opinion overwhelms in practice the freedom asserted by the laws in theory.”
Thomas Jefferson
