“Time is an equal opportunity employer. Each human being has exactly the same number of hours and minutes every day. Rich people can't buy more hours. Scientists can't invent new minutes. And you can't save time to spend it on another day. Even so, time is amazingly fair and forgiving. No matter how much time you've wasted in the past, you still have an entire tomorrow.” – Denis Waitley “You have to learn the rules of the game. And then you have to play better than anyone else.” – Albert Einstein “If I had eight hours to chop down a tree, I’d spend six hours sharpening my ax.” – Abraham Lincoln “Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all.” – Dale Carnegie “Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions.

I never heard of anyone ever stumbling on something sitting down.” – Charles F. Kettering “Nothing in the world can take the place of perseverance. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost legendary. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts.

It jumps hurdles, leaps fences, penetrates walls to arrive at its destination full of hope.” – Maya Angelou “It takes courage to love, but pain through love is the purifying fire which those who love generously know. We all know people who are so much afraid of pain that they shut themselves up like clams in a shell and, giving out nothing, receive nothing and therefore shrink until life is a mere living death.” – Eleanor Roosevelt “The unhappy derive comfort from the misfortunes of others.” – Aesop “Never idealize others.

We feel comfortable doing things which add quality and beauty to life.” – Andrew Matthews “I found in my research that the biggest reason people aren't more self-compassionate is that they are afraid they'll become self-indulgent. They believe self-criticism is what keeps them in line. Most people have gotten it wrong because our culture says being hard on yourself is the way to be.” – Kristen Neff “Don’t wait. The time will never be just right.” – Napoleon Hill “Happiness is a state of activity.” – Aristotle “The way to love anything is to realize that it may be lost.” – Gilbert K.

That factor is attitude.” – William James “Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.” – Rumi “You can make more friends in two months by becoming interested in other people than you can in two years by trying to get other people interested in you.” – Dale Carnegie “If you would be loved, love, and be loveable.” – Benjamin Franklin “Since you get more joy out of giving joy to others, you should put a good deal of thought into the happiness that you are able to give.” – Eleanor Roosevelt “What you do not want done to yourself, do not do to others.” – Confucius “When you hold resentment toward another, you are bound to that person or condition by an emotional link that is stronger than steel. Forgiveness is the only way to dissolve that link and get free.” – Catherine Ponder “If you aren’t good at loving yourself, you will have a difficult time loving anyone, since you’ll resent the time and energy you give another person that you aren’t even giving to yourself.” – Barbara De Angelis “When the Japanese mend broken objects, they aggrandize the damage by filling the cracks with gold.

Beautiful people do not just happen.” – Elizabeth Kubler-Ross “Don’t brood. Get on with living and loving. You don’t have forever.” – Leo Buscaglia
