Actions are Louder Than Words!

"Tell me what you think, and I'll know who you want to be.  Show me what you do, and I'll tell you who you are."

Edmond Danken Sailer; Poet, Philosopher

Face Your Fears!

“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 (1884-1962); U.S. First Lady, diplomat, human rights activist

Go for it!

“I began to realize how important it was to be an enthusiast in life. He taught me that if you are interested in something, no matter what it is, go at it at full speed ahead. Embrace it with both arms, hug it, love it and above all become passionate about it. Lukewarm is no good. Hot is no good either. White hot and passionate is the only thing to be.”

Roald Dahl (1916-1990); British novelist

Dreams Come True

“Dreams come true; without that possibility, nature would not incite us to have them.”

John Updike (1932-2009); American novelist

Make Mistakes!

“I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes. Because if you are making mistakes, then you are making new things, trying new things, learning, living, pushing yourself, changing yourself, changing your world. You're doing things you've never done before, and more importantly, you're doing something. So that's my wish for you, and all of us, and my wish for myself. Make new mistakes. Make g...lorious, amazing mistakes. Make mistakes nobody's ever made before. Don't freeze, don't stop, don't worry that it isn't good enough, or it isn't perfect, whatever it is: art, or love, or work or family or life. Whatever it is you're scared of doing, do it. Make your mistakes, next year and forever.”

Neil Gaiman (born 1960); Author

Work for Hard, so your Dreams Come True

“We are designed with a dreaming brain and a hopeful spirit; it is our nature to envision the life of our dreams. And while dreaming comes easy to us, we must never forget that it takes strength, dedication, and courageous action to bring that dream to life.”

Steve Maraboli (born 1975); Author

Frendship Improves Happiness

“Friendship improves happiness and abates misery, by the doubling of our joy and the dividing of our grief.”
