If you suddenly and unexpectedly feel joy, don’t hesitate. Give in to it. …whatever it is, don’t be afraid of its plenty. Joy is not made to be a crumb.
Mary Oliver
Be Brave Enough to Live Creatively. The creative is the place where no one else has ever been. You have to leave the city of your comfort and go into the wilderness of your intuition. You can’t get there by bus only by hard work and risk and by not quite knowing what you’re doing. What you’ll discover will be wonderful. What you’ll discover will be yourself.
Alan Alda
The world would have you agree with its dismal dream of limitation. But the light would have you soar like the eagle of your sacred visions.
Alan Cohen
Do what you can, with what you have, where you are.
Theodore Roosevelt
If I can stop one heart from breaking, I shall not live in vain: If I can ease one life the aching, or cool one pain or help one fainting Unto his nest again, I shall not live in vain.
Emily Dickinson
I never ached with loneliness; the bad news is that as a child I never learned to share dessert. The good news is that I turned my escapism into a career. I still go into my room and close my door. What do you do for a living, Ms. Isaacs? Well, I hang out by myself and daydream.
Susan Isaacs (Writer and Only Child)
