Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.
- Mark Twain

Work like you don’t need money,
Love like you’ve never been hurt,
And dance like no one’s watching.

All blame is a waste of time. No matter how much fault you find with another, and regardless of how much you blame him, it will not change you. The only thing blame does is to keep the focus off u when you are looking for external reasons to explain your unhappiness or frustration. You may succeed in making another feel guilty about something by blaming him, but you won't succeed in changing whatever it is about you that is making you unhappy.
--Wayne Dyer

“If you want to reach a state of bliss, then go beyond your ego and the internal dialogue. Make a decision to relinquish the need to control, the need to be approved, and the need to judge. Those are the three things the ego is doing all the time. It's very important to be aware of them every time they come up.”
--Deepak Chopra

“Growth in wisdom may be exactly measured by decrease in bitterness”
--Friedrich Nietzsche

Your vision will become clear only when you look into your heart. Who looks outside, dreams. Who looks inside, awakens.
- Carl Jung

We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.
-- Winston Churchill

Enjoy what there is to enjoy, suffer what there is to suffer because both are the fact of life.
-- Nichiren Daishonin

It isn't a destination, it's journey, a continuous journey of self discovery. It starts by accepting responsibility for the bits of our life that are not working and then developing on a step-by-step, dad-by-day basis, resilience courage, and compassion, so that we can face up to the challenge of changing them.
From The Reluctant Buddhist

Integrity is what we do, what we say, and what we say we do.
-- Don Galer

Slow down and enjoy life. It's not only the scenery you miss by going too fast - you also miss the sense of where you are going and why.
-- Eddie Cantor

There are as many nights as days, and the one is just as long as the other in the year's course. Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word 'happy' would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness.
-- Carl Jung

“Don't rely on someone else for your happiness and self worth. Only you can be responsible for that. If you can't love and respect yourself - no one else will be able to make that happen. Accept who you are - completely; the good and the bad - and make changes as YOU see fit - not because you think someone else wants you to be different.”
-- Stacey Charter

“Happiness is a butterfly, which when pursued, is always just beyond your grasp, but which, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you”
-- Nathaniel Hawthorne

“The best years of your life are the ones in which you decide your problems are your own. You do not blame them on your mother, the ecology, or the president. You realize that you control your own destiny.”
-- Albert Ellis

“The reason people find it so hard to be happy is that they always see the past better than it was, the present worse than it is, and the future less resolved than it will be”
--Marcel Pagnol

“We tend to forget that happiness doesn't come as a result of getting something we don't have, but rather of recognizing and appreciating what we do have.”
-- Frederick Keonig

"And in the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years."
-- Abraham Lincoln

“There are no extra pieces in the universe. Everyone is here because he or she has a place to fill, and every piece must fit itself into the big jigsaw puzzle.”
-- Deepak Chopra

You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face.

"The tragedy of life is not that it ends so soon, but that we wait so long to begin it."
--W. M. Lewis
