from Anglo-Irish chemist Robert Boyle (1627-1691):
God would not have made the universe as it is unless
He intended us to understand it.
Even when we find not what we seek, we find something
as well worth seeking as what we missed.
from Scottish poet Robert Burns (1759-1796):
Oh would some power the gift give us, to see ourselves
as others see us!
The best-laid schemes o' mice an' men, Gang aft
a-gley, And leave us nought but grief and pain, For promised joy.
Life is but a day at most.
There is no such uncertainty as a sure thing.
from English artist Benjamin Haydon (1786-1846):
The greatest geniuses have always attributed
everything to God, as if conscious of being possessed of a spark of His
divinity.
from English author W. Somerset Maugham (1874-1965):
Only a mediocre person is always at his best.
Death is a very dull, dreary affair, and my advice to
you is to have nothing whatsoever to do with it.
We are not the same persons this year as last; nor are
those we love. It is a happy chance if we, changing, continue to love a changed
person.
I can imagine no more comfortable frame of mind for
the conduct of life than a humorous resignation.
from English author Virginia Woolf (1882-1941):
If you do not tell the truth about yourself you cannot
tell it about other people.
You cannot find peace by avoiding life.
Arrange whatever pieces come your way.
from Finnish Functionalist architect Viljo Revell
(1910-1964):
It was teamwork, you see.
from Filipino politician Corazon Aquino (1933-2009):
I would rather die a meaningful death than to live a meaningless life.
Faith is not simply a patience that passively suffers
until the storm is past. Rather, it is a spirit that bears things—with
resignations, yes, but above all, with blazing, serene hope.
I know there isn't anything I can do that will please
everybody. But if I have done according to my beliefs, I sleep very very well.
I've reached a point in life where it's no longer
necessary to try to impress. If they like me the way I am, that's good. If they
don't, that's too bad.
Keep inviolate an area of light and peace within you.
I am not embarrassed to tell you that I believe in
miracles.
from American runner Steve Prefontaine (1951-1975):
Some people create with words or with music or with a
brush and paints. I like to make something beautiful when I run. I like to make
people stop and say, 'I've never seen anyone run like that before.' It's more
than just a race, it's a style. It's doing something better than anyone else.
It's being creative.
To give anything less than your best, is to sacrifice
the gift.
from American actor Leigh Taylor Young (1945- ):
It's about loving one's self, first and absolutely
foremost. The more one comes to know the self, forgive the self, and love the
self, the better lover one is of anything and everybody in this life.
I would just say love God with all your heart, body,
mind and soul. And whatever comes forward for you to follow, as that love
progressively awakens in you, do it. And it will awaken in each person as long
as they have the willingness to open to the journey, because it is a journey.
Don't try and form it, just have the love and the willingness to listen, and it
will guide you with impeccable perfection.
from American actor Jenifer Lewis (1957- ):
The elevator to success is broken, take the stairs.
from American singer-songwriter Alicia Keys (1981- ):
Everything you want to be, you already are. You're
simply on the path to discovering it.
We are all one. We're not as separate as we oftentimes
think.
from Japanese singer-songwriter and newscaster Sho Sakurai (1982-
):
Write it as a dream, read it as a goal.
from American singer-actor Ariana DeBose (1991- ):
When you feel your best, everybody else can feel it,
too.
from Australian rocker Calum Hood (1996- ):
Just live right now, and be yourself, it doesn't matter if it's good enough for someone else.
