Paulo Coelho "Remember your dreams and fight for them. You must know what you want from life. There is just one thing that makes your dream become impossible: the fear of failure." Billy Graham "When wealth is lost, nothing is lost; when health is lost, something is lost; when character is lost, all is lost." Albert Camus "You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life." Don Miguel Ruiz "Be Impeccable With Your Word. Speak with integrity. Say only what you mean. Avoid using the word to speak against yourself or to gossip about others. Use the power of your word in the direction of truth and love." Gabrielle Bernstein "The way we experience the world around us is a direct reflection of the world within us." |
