Howard Thurman "Don't ask yourself what the world needs. Ask yourself what makes you come alive and then go do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive." Ernest Holmes "Prepare your mind to receive the best that life has to offer." Steve Jobs "The only way to do great work is to love what you do." Conrad Hilton "Achievement seems to be connected with action. Successful men and women keep moving. They make mistakes but they don't quit." Mary Anne Radmacher "Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, "I will try again tomorrow." |
