Helen Keller
“Character cannot be developed in peace and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired and success achieved.”

Norman MacEvan
“Happiness is not so much in having as sharing. We make a living by what we get but make our life by what we give.”

Confucious
“Choose a job you love and you will  never have to do a day’s work in your life.”

Oprah Winfrey
“We can’t become what we need to be by remaining what we are.”

“The biggest adventure you can take is to live the life of your dreams.”

“Follow Your instincts. That’s where true wisdom  manifests itself.”

“Be thankful for what you have, you’ll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don’t have, you will never have enough.”

David Henry Hwang (M. Butterfly)
“Failure is very silent, no one calls and no one asks what you think. Success on the other hand,  is very noisy. Your phone rings constantly and you’re the center of attention. With  all the noise of success you sometimes can’t hear what is in your heart, which is what got you there in the first place.”

Judy Garland
“Always be a first rate version of yourself rather than a second rate version of someone else.”

Marilyn Monroe
“The truth is I’ve never fooled anyone. I’ve let people fool themselves. They didn’t bother to find out who and what I was. Instead they would invent a character for me. I wouldn't argue with them. They were obviously loving someone I wasn’t. When they found out, they would blame me for disillusioning them and fooling them.”

Jack London
“I would rather be ashes than dust. I would rather that my spark would burn out in a brilliant blue blaze than be stifled by dry rot. I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than be a sleepy and permanent planet.”
