We all benefit from reading quotes and here are some favorites over the ages:
1) To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
2) Within each of us lies the power of our consent to health and sickness, to riches and poverty, to freedom and to slavery. It is we who control these, and not another.
Richard Bach (Illusions)
3) I would rather live in a world where my life is surrounded by mystery than live in a world so small that my mind could comprehend it.
Harry Emerson Fosdick
4) Courage is the most important of all the virtues, because without courage you can’t practice any other virtue consistently. You can practice any virtue erratically, but nothing consistently without courage.
Maya Angelou
5) In the long run, men hit only what they aim at. Therefore, they had better aim at something high.
Henry David Thoreau
6) A wise man can see more from the bottom of a well than a fool can from a mountain top.
