From Martin Luther King Jr.

"The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy."

"The soft-minded man always fears change. He feels security in the status quo, and he has an almost morbid fear of the new. For him, the greatest pain is the pain of a new idea."

"We must learn to live together as brothers or perish together as fools."

"Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and consciencious stupidity."

From Jim Rohn

"Commit yourself to something bigger than yourself. "

"Success is doing ordinary things extraordinarily well."

"Giving is better than receiving because giving starts the receiving process."

"Learn to say NO to the good, so you can say YES to the great."

"Time is more valuable than money. You can get more money, but you cannot get more time."

"You cannot change your destination overnight, but you can change your direction overnight. "

"Either you run the day or the day runs you. "

From Thich Nhat Hanh

"Freedom is not given to us by anyone; we have to cultivate it ourselves. It is a daily practice...; No one can prevent you from being aware of each step you take or each breath in and breath out."

"We have to continue to learn. We have to be open. And we have to be ready to release our knowledge in order to come to a higher understanding of reality."

"Enlightenment is always there. Small enlightenment will bring great enlightenment. If you breathe in and are aware that you are alive—that you can touch the miracle of being alive—then that is a kind of enlightenment."

"Many people are alive but don't touch the miracle of being alive."

"Every thought you produce, anything you say, any action you do, it bears your signature."

Mother Teresa

"Everybody today seems to be in such a terrible rush, anxious for greater developments and greater riches and so on, so that children have very little time for their parents."

"Parents have very little time for each other, and in the home begins the disruption of peace of the world."

"The more you have, the more you are occupied, the less you give. But the less you have the more free you are."

"Poverty for us is a freedom. It is not mortification, a penance. It is joyful freedom. "

"I once picked up a woman from a garbage dump and she was burning with fever; she was in her last days and her only lament was: 'My son did this to me.' I begged her: You must forgive your son. In a moment of madness, when he was not himself, he did a thing he regrets. Be a mother to him, forgive him. It took me a long time to make her say: 'I forgive my son.' Just before she died in my arms, she was able to say that with a real forgiveness. She was not concerned that she was dying. The breaking of the heart was that her son did not want her. This is something you and I can understand."
