"I'm not very good
At this Game called Life
For I've not learned to see children crying
Without feeling pain
For I've not learned to watch animals destroyed
Without wondering why
For I've not yet met a king or a celebrity
That I would bow down to
Or a man so insignificant
That I would use for a stepping-stone
For I've not learned to be a 'yes man'
To narrow minded bosses
Who quote rules without reason
And I've not learned to manipulate
The feelings of others
To be used for my own advantages
Then cast aside as I see fit
No, I'm not very good
At this Game called Life
And if everything goes well
Maybe I never will be."

Javan
American Author and Poet

From the standpoint of daily life, however, there is one thing we do know: That we are here for the sake of others... for the countless unknown souls with whose fate we are connected by a bond of sympathy. Many times a day, I realize how much my outer and inner life is built upon the labors of people, both living and dead, and how earnestly I must exert myself in order to give in return as much as I have received.

Albert Einstein
German-born Theoretical Physicist

"The lesson which life constantly repeats is to 'look under your feet.' You are always nearer to the divine and the true sources of your power than you think. The lure of the distant and the difficult is deceptive. The great opportunity is where you are. Do not despise your own place and hour. Every place is under the stars. Every place is the center of the world."

John Burroughs
American Author and Naturalist

"Perfection, then, is finally achieved, not when there is nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left to take away."

Antoine de St. Exupery
French Aviator and Author

"One hundred percent of the shots you don't take
don't go in."

Wayne Gretzky
Canadian-born Professional Hockey Player

Life is as fleeting as a rainbow, a flash of lighting, a star at dawn. Knowing this, how can you quarrel?

Jack Kornfield

Do Something,
If It Works,
Do More Of It
If It Doesn't,
Do Something Else.

Franklin Delano Roosevelt
32nd President of the United States

"He who has conquered doubt and fear has conquered failure. Doubt has killed more splendid projects, shattered more ambitious schemes, strangled more effective geniuses, neutralized more superb efforts, blasted more fine intellects, thwarted more splendid ambitions than any other enemy of the human race."

James Allen
Author and Philosopher
