To recognise that the greatest error is not to have tried and failed, but that in trying, we did not give it our best effort.
( Gene Kranz )

You just need to do what you know to be right.
If others don’t like it, that’s just too bad.

Remember this.
Where there is life there is hope.

You’re alive.
Embrace this, because you can do anything while there is breath in your body.

( Lola Jaye )

Sometimes it’s better to forget about everyone else and put your own needs first.

No matter how much you know, your destiny depends on the wisdom, knowledge and understanding you display.

Surround yourself with friends who can help make your dreams come true.

The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

If others say you can’t do something, take it as a challenge and prove them wrong.

The greatest risk to man is not that he aims too high and misses, but that he aims too low and hits.

Some people want a big house, posh cars, and millions in the bank.
Others want a tiny cabin in the woods, away from those kind of people.

The joy that you give to others is the joy that comes back to you.
( John Greenleaf Whittier )

There’s more to all of us than we realise. 
Life is so much bigger, grander, higher, and wider than we allow ourselves to think.
We are capable of so much more than we allow ourselves to believe. 
( Queen Latifah )

Life is very simple.
We complicate matters with our choices.

There is only one you for all time.

Examine his actions.
Judge him by them.

Thinking something does not make it true.
Wanting something does not make it real.
( Michelle Hodkin )

I’ve pursued dreams and achieved them, but I don’t think anybody should think their life is incomplete if they don’t follow some dream.
Happiness doesn’t come from achievements, or money, or any sort of treasure.
Happiness is a frame of mind, not a destination.
It’s appreciating what you’ve got and building relationships with those around you.
( Janette Rallison )

Life doesn’t require that we be the best, only that we try our best.
( H. Jackson Brown Jr. )

At present we are on the outside, the wrong side of the door.

For God to prove himself on demand, physically, would be a grave disappointment, and the strongest Christians should be considerably grateful that he chooses not to do so.
The skeptic endlessly demands proof, yet God refuses to insult the true intelligence of man, the ‘6th sense’, the chief quality, the acumen which distinguishes man from the rest of creation.
Faith.

( Criss Jami )

When you’re a beautiful person on the inside, nothing in the world can change that about you.
Jealousy is the result of one’s lack of self-confidence, self-worth, and self-acceptance.
The Lesson; if you can’t accept yourself, then certainly no one else will.
( Sasha Azevedo )

Life doesn’t have to be difficult.
It’s just people who sometimes make it that way.

Sometimes it is only when you lose things that you finally grow up and start to value what is important.

The virtue I value above all others is kindness.

There is no such thing as an idyllic life, but one can find idyllic moments in the everyday.
( Emilia Fox )

It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us.
We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life.
Daily and hourly.
Our answer must consist, not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct.
Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfil the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual.

( Viktor E. Frankl )

You’re not a human being until you value something more than the life of your body.

The Light in my darkness.
The Voice in my silence.

To exist in this vast universe for a speck of time is the great gift of life.
Our tiny sliver of time is our gift of life.
It is our only life.

The universe will go on, indifferent to our brief existence, but while we are here we touch not just part of that vastness, but also the lives around us.
Life is the gift each of us has been given.
Each life is our own and no one else’s.
It is precious beyond all counting.

It is the greatest value we can have.
Cherish it for what it truly is.
Your life is yours alone.
Rise up and live it.

( Terry Goodkind )

It can only take a moment to waste the rest of your life.

Leave no path untaken.

Some are a very great deal more robust, sophisticated and well supported in logic and argument than others.

I can normally tell how intelligent a man is by how stupid he thinks I am.

Every one of us is losing something precious to us.
Lost opportunities, lost possibilities, feelings we can never get back again.
That’s part of what it means to be alive.
( Haruki Murakami )

I am thankful for the difficult people in my life.
They have shown me exactly who I don’t want to be.

Sleep would be so welcome.
A warm blanket of black to erase everything else.
Sleep without dreams.
I’ve heard people talk about the sleep of the dead.
Is that what death would feel like?
The nicest, warmest, heaviest never-ending nap?
If that’s what it’s like, I wouldn’t mind.
If that’s what dying is like, I wouldn’t mind that at all.
( Gayle Forman )
