Some people have a photographic memory. I've got the film.
"If you treat an individual as he is, he will remain how he is. But if you treat him as if he were what he ought to be and could be, he will become what he ought to be and could be."
-- Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
"Never be afraid to raise your voice for honesty and truth and compassion against injustice and lying and greed. If people all over the world... would do this, it would change the earth."
-- William Faulkner
"Strength of character isn't always about how much you can handle before you break, it's also about how much you can handle after you've broken."
-- Robert Tew
"Be fearless. Have the courage to take risks. Go where there are no guarantees. Get out of your comfort zone even if it means being uncomfortable. The road less traveled is sometimes fraught with barricades, bumps, and uncharted terrain. But it is on that road where your character is truly tested And have the courage to accept that you're not perfect. Nothing is and no one is -- and that's okay."
-- Katie Couric
"I used to think that anyone doing anything weird was weird. I suddenly realized that anyone doing anything weird wasn't weird at all and it was the people saying they were weird that were weird."
-- Paul McCartney
"I love people who make me laugh. I honestly think it's the thing I like most, to laugh. It cures a multitude of ills. It's probably the most important thing in a person."
-- Audrey Hepburn
"Just because I laugh a lot, doesn't mean my life is easy. Just because I have a smile on my face every day, doesn't mean that something is not bothering me. I just choose to move on, and not dwell on all the negatives in my life. Every new moment gives me the chance to renew anew. I choose to be that."
-- Author Unknown
"Trust that little voice in your head that says 'Wouldn't it be interesting if...' And then do it."
-- Duane Michals
"You are unique. You have different talents and abilities. You don't have to always follow in the footsteps of others. And most important, you should always remind yourself that you don't have to do what everyone else is doing and have a responsibility to develop the talents you have been given."
-- Roy T. Bennett
"You will never change your life until you change something you do daily. The secret of your success is found in your daily routine."
-- John C. Maxwell
