“We live in a wonderful world that is full of beauty, charm and adventure. There is no end to the adventures we can have if only we seek them with our eyes open.”

Jawaharlal Nehru

“Do not look where you fell, but where you slipped.”

African proverb

“Learn to relax. Your body is precious, as it houses your mind and spirit. Inner peace begins with a relaxed body.”

Norman Vincent Peale

A man is born gentle and weak.
At his death he is hard and stiff.
Green plants are tender and filled with sap.
At their death they are withered and dry.

Therefore the stiff and unbending is the disciple of death.
The gentle and yielding is the disciple of life.

Thus an army without flexibility never wins a battle.
A tree that is unbending is easily broken.

The hard and strong will fall.
The soft and weak will overcome.

Lao Tzu, Chapter 76 of the Tao Te Ching

(translation by Gia-fu Feng and Jane English)

“When we hate our enemies, we are giving them power over us: power over our sleep, our appetites, our blood pressure, our health, and our happiness. Our enemies would dance with joy if only they knew how they were worrying us, lacerating us, and getting even with us! Our hate is not hurting them at all, but our hate is turning our own days and nights into a hellish turmoil.”

Dale Carnegie

“Understanding does not cure evil, but it is a definite help, inasmuch as one can cope with a comprehensible darkness.”

Carl Jung

“Those who believe they can do something and those who believe they can’t are both right.”

Henry Ford

“The ultimate court of appeal is observation and experiment… not authority.”

Thomas Huxley

“To live is to choose. But to choose well, you must know who you are and what you stand for, where you want to go and why you want to get there.”
