Quotations:
"When you have once seen the glow of happiness on the face of a beloved person, you know that a man can have no vocation but to awaken that light on the faces surrounding him.
In the depth of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer. "
- Albert Camus
"Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time".
"Smile a little, Help a little, Push a little, the world needs you.
Work a little, Wait a little, Hope a little and don't get blue".
"You can not push anyone up the ladder unless he is willing to climb a little." - Andrew Carnegie
RISK
To laugh is to risk appearing the fool
To weep is to risk appearing sentimental
To reach out for another is to risk involvement
To expose feelings is to risk exposing your true self
To place your ideas, your dreams before the crowd is to risk their loss
To love is to risk not being loved in return
To live is to risk dying
To hope is to risk despair
To try is to risk failure
But risks must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing
The person who risks nothing, does nothing, has nothing and is nothing
They may avoid suffering and sorrow, but they cannot learn, feels, change, grow, love, live
Chained by their certitudes, they are a slave, they have forfeited their freedom
Only a person who risks is free.
"Never close your lips to those to whom you have opened your heart"
-Charles Dickens
"Love is too strong a word to say it too early, but it has too beautiful a meaning to say it too late. "
-Kurt Spiteri Cornish
"Some things are so simple and so obvious, but unless they're stated, they aren't necessarily obvious. The obvious can be so simple."
-Carol Lynn Nute
"People are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within. "
