People usually consider walking on water or in thin air a miracle. But I think the real miracle is not to walk either on water or in thin air, but to walk on earth. Every day we are engaged in a miracle which we don’t even recognize: a blue sky, white clouds, green leaves, the black, curious eyes of a child – our own two eyes. All is a miracle.
Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark in the hopeless swamps of the not-quite, the not-yet, and the not-at-all. Do not let the hero in your soul perish in lonely frustration for the life you deserved and have never been able to reach. The world you desire can be won. It exists. It is real. It is possible. It’s yours.
Only do what your heart tells you.
You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them.
A goal properly set is halfway reached.
Life has no limitations, except the ones you make.
Talking about our problems is our greatest addiction. Break the habit. Talk about your joys.
To love means loving the unlovable. To forgive means pardoning the unpardonable. Faith means believing the unbelievable. Hope means hoping when everything seems hopeless.
Failure will never overtake me if my determination to succeed is strong enough.
Don’t smother each other. No one can grow in the shade.
If you learn from defeat, you haven't really lost.
Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Appreciate your friends. Continue to learn. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.
In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing, the next best thing is the wrong thing, and the worst thing you can do is nothing.
Always laugh when you can. It is cheap medicine.
Life is a mirror and will reflect back to the thinker what he thinks into it.
Love is the only force capable of transforming an enemy into friend.
If you could get up the courage to begin, you have the courage to succeed.
The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.
One day your life will flash before your eyes. Make sure it’s worth watching.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height my soul can reach.
