"What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us."

-Ralph Waldo Emerson

There are many paths up the mountain, all leading in the same direction, so it doesn't matter which path you take. The only one wasting time is the one who runs around and around the mountain, telling everyone else that his or her path is wrong.

-Hindu Teaching

"Be the change you want to see."

-Ghandi

"At any moment, you have a choice, that either leads you closer to your spirit or further away from it."

-Thich Nhat Hanh

"There is no way to happiness, happiness is the way."

-Buddha

"The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes."

-Marcel Proust

"Since you alone are responsible for your thoughts, only you can change them. You will want to change them when you realize that each thought creates according to its nature. Remember that the law works at all times and that you are always demonstrating according to the kinds of thoughts you habitually entertain. Therefore, start now to think only those thoughts that will bring you health and happiness."

-Paramahansa Yogananda

 

Attitude

"The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company... a church... a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have and that is our attitude... I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it. And so it is with you... we are in charge of our attitudes."

-Charles Swindoll
