In the realm of the blind, the one-eyed man is king.




It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat.

Teddy Roosevelt

Happiness is not getting what you want, but wanting what you already have.




I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, it's a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope. Which is what I do, and that enables you to laugh at life's realities.

Dr. Seuss




If you give what you do not need, it isn't giving.

Mother Teresa




Most of the shadows in this life are caused by standing in our own sunshine.

Ralph Waldo Emerson




Be the change you want to see in the world.

Mahatma Gandhi




When men speak ill of thee, so live that nobody believe them.

Plato




Always do sober what you said you'd do drunk. That will teach you to keep your mouth shut.

Ernest Hemingway




A badly told lie is almost as bad as telling the truth.

Mark Twain

The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.
