Martin Luther King, Jr.
Forgiveness is not an occasional act it is an attitude.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nothing is at last sacred but the integrity of our own mind.
Hazrat Ali Ibn-e-Abi Talib, Nahj-ul-Balagha (Sermons and sayings Compilation)
Live amongst people in such a manner that if you die they weep over you and if you are alive they crave for your company.
Denis Watley
It's not what you are that holds you back, it's what you think you are not.
Hubert Humphrey
The right to be heard does not autmatically include the right to be taken seriously.
Joseph Brooks
There is a serious defect in the thinking of someone who wants--more than anything else--to become rich. As long as they don't have the money, it'll seem like a worthwhile goal. Once they do, they'll understand how important other things are--and have always been.
Alfred A. Montapert
In life, the first thing you must do is decide what you really want. Weigh the costs and the results. Are the results worthy of the costs? Then make up your mind completely and go after your goal with all your might.
