Risk more than others think is safe

Care more than others think is wise

Dream more than others think is practical

Expect more than others think is possible

Here's to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes... the ones who see things differently -- they're not fond of rules... You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can't do is ignore them because they change things... they push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do. ~ Steve Jobs, Apple Computers

Blessed are those who can give without remembering, and take without forgetting. ~

Elizabeth Anne Bibesco

Start where you are.  Use what you have.  Do what you can. - Arthur Ashe

I can be changed by what happens to me.  But I refuse to be reduced by it.  ~ Maya Angelou

No one can make you feel inferior without your consent. - Eleanor Roosevelt

Silences make the real conversations between friends. Not the saying but the never needing to say is what counts.    ~ Margaret Lee Runbeck

When you have come to the edge of all the light you have
And step into the darkness of the unknown
Believe that one of the two will happen to you
Either you'll find something solid to stand on
Or you'll be taught how to fly!

                                                ~  Richard Bach




I AM IGNORANT of absolute truth. But I am humble before my ignorance and therein lies my honor and my reward.
    
       ~Taken from Sand & Foam by Khalil Gibran

What we call the secret of happiness is no more a secret than our willingness to choose life.

                                                 ~ Leo Buscaglia

Don't try to be different.  Just be good.  To be good is different enough. ~ Arthur Freed
