“A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.” Winston Churchill

“Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see the shadow.” Helen Keller

“Change is the law of life and those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future.” John F. Kennedy

“Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.” Ralph Waldo Emerson

“One of the commonest mistakes and one of the costliest is thinking that success is due to some genius, some magic – something or other which we do not possess. Success is generally due to holding on, and failure to letting go. You decide to learn a language, study music, take a course of reading, train yourself physically. Will it be success or failure? It depends upon how much pluck and perseverance that word “decide” contains. The decision that nothing can overrule, the grip that nothing can detach will bring success. Remember the Chinese proverb, “With time and patience, the mulberry leaf becomes satin.” Maltbie Davenport Babcock

It is never jealous,

Love is never boastful nor conceided,

It is never rude or selfish,

It does not take offense,

It is not resentful,

Love takes no pleasure in other peoples sins or delights in the truth,

It is always ready to excuse, to trust, to hope, and to endure

DO NOT LOOK AT THE WHOLE STAIRCASE, LOOK AT ONE STEP AT A TIME

Learn as if you were to live forever…

Gandhi
