Silence is Golden

"Silence reveals itself in a thousand inexpressible forms: in the quiet of dawn, in the noiseless aspiration of trees towards the sky, in the stealthy descent of night, in the silent changing of the seasons, in the falling moonlight, trickling down into the night like a rain of silence, but above all in the silence of the inward soul."
Max Picard

"There are basically two types of people.
People who accomplish things,
and
people who claim to have accomplished things.
The first group is less crowded." -Mark Twain

"too often we underestimate

the power of a touch, a smile,

a kind word, a listening ear,

an honest compliment,

or the smallest act of caring,

all of which have the potential

to turn a life around." -Leo Buscaglia

Self-Confidence

"Life is not easy for any of us. But what of that? We must have perseverance and above all confidence in ourselves. We must believe that we are gifted for something and that this thing must be attained."
-Marie Curie

Living Large

"The biggest adventure you can take

is to live the life of your dreams." -Oprah Winfrey

Row, Row, Row Your Boat

"Don't wait for your ship to come in. Row out to meet it."
