heart is nearly stilled by astonishment."

Successories quotes
Some People Dream of Great Accomplishments, While Others Stay Awake and Do Them.
You cannot discover new oceans unless you have the courage to lose sight of the shore.
The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.
We don't see things as they are, we see things as we are.
Cherish your yesterdays; dream your tomorrows; but live your todays.
The heart already knows... what the mind can only dream of... trust your heart.
In life what sometimes appears to be the end is really a new beginning.
There are many things in life that will catch your eye, but only a few will catch your heart... pursue those.

Do not follow where the path may lead... go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.
A friend is a gift you give yourself.
If you're not riding the wave of change... You'll find yourself beneath it.
A bend in the road is not the end of the road... Unless you fail to make the turn.
Remember this; when you're through changing... you're through.
Energy and persistance will conquer all things.
Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference.
Attack every problem with enthusiasm.. as if your survival depended upon it.
Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see the shadows.
Coming to together i sa beginning... keeping together is progress... working together is a success.
Anyone can hold the helm when the sea is calm.
Success is a journey, not a destination.
Don't wait for your ship to come in... swim out to it.

Don't Quit
When things go wrong as they sometimes will;
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill;
When the funds are low, and the debts are high;
And you want to smile, but have to sigh;
When the care is pressing you down a bit-
Rest if you must, but don't you quit.
Success is failure turned inside out;
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt;
And you can never tell how close you are;
It may be near when it seems afar.
So, stick to the fight when you're hardest hit
It's when things go wrong that you musn't quit.
The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart.
--Helen Keller

A life lived in fear is a life half lived.
