If you want to lift yourself up, lift up someone else.
-Booker T. Washington
“Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.” –Hilary Cooper
“People that judge don’t matter. People that matter don’t judge.”
The difference between perseverance and obstinacy is that one often comes from a strong will, and the other from a strong won't.
- Henry Ward Beecher
We cannot direct the wind but we can adjust the sails”
Don't wait for your ship to come in. Row out to meet it.
The best way to cheer yourself up is to cheer up somebody else.
-Mark Twain
“Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming — WOW — What a ride!”
When things go wrong as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit
Rest if you must, but don't you quit.
Success is failure turned inside out,
The silver tint on the clouds of doubt,
And you can never tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems afar.
So, stick to the fight when you're hardest hit
It's when things go wrong that you mustn't quit.
