Isaac Bashevis Singer "What nature delivers to us is never stale. Because what nature creates has eternity in it." Albert Einstein "Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving." Stephen Hawking "We are just an advanced breed of monkeys on a minor planet of a very average star. But we can understand the Universe. That makes us something very special." Amelia Earhart "The most difficult thing is the decision to act, the rest is merely tenacity. The fears are paper tigers. You can do anything you decide to do. You can act to change and control your life; and the procedure, the process is its own reward." Eleanor Roosevelt "You have to accept whatever comes and the only important thing is that you meet it with courage and with the best that you have to give." |
