“Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are.”

“Dream as if you will live forever; Live as if you will die today.”

“Write it on your heart that every day is the best day in the year.”

“Keep your face always toward the sunshine – and shadows will fall behind you.”

“In dwelling, live close to the ground. In thinking, keep to the simple. In conflict, be fair and generous. In governing, don’t try to control. In work, do what you enjoy. In family life, be completely present.”

“Even though you may want to move forward in your life, you may have one foot on the brakes. In order to be free, we must learn how to let go. Release the hurt. Release the fear. Refuse to entertain your old pain. The energy it takes to hang onto the past is holding you back from a new life. What is it you would let go of today?”
