Bio



"He who approaches the temple of the Muses without inspiration in the belief that craftsmanship alone suffices will remain a bungler and his presumptuous poetry will be obscured by the songs of the maniacs." - Plato


"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." - Mark Twain


"In the attitude of silence the soul finds the path in a clearer light, and what is elusive and deceptive resolves itself into crystal clearness." - Mahatma Gandhi


"No pessimist ever discovered the secret of the stars or sailed an uncharted land, or opened a new doorway for the human spirit." - Helen Keller


"The secret of health for both mind and body is not to mourn for the past, nor to worry about the future, but to live the present moment wisely and earnestly." - Buddha


"Everyday, God gives us the sun - and also one moment in which we have the ability to change everything." - Paulo Coelho


"The real journey of discovery is not in seeking new landscapes, but in seeing with new eyes." - Marcel Proust


"When one door closes, another opens; but we often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door that we do not see the one which has opened for us." - Alexander Graham Bell


"I am a bird of the heavenly garden
I belong not to the earthly sphere.
They have made for two or three days
A cage of my body."
- Rumi


"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." - Confucius


"Change is to human life what metamorphosis is to the caterpillar. It is the inevitable cycle of life. If there is no change, there is no life. " - Susan Peabody


"Do not keep the alabaster box of your friendship sealed up until your friends are dead. Fill their lives with sweetness. Speak approving, cheering words while their ears can hear them, and while their hearts can be thrilled and made happier. The kind of things you mean to say when they are gone, say before they go."
- George W. Childs


"The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands in times of challenge and controversy." - Martin Luther King, Jr.


"You must be the change you wish to see in the world." - Mahatma Gandhi


"This is love: to fly toward a secret sky, to cause a hundred veils to fall each moment. First, to let go of life. Finally, to take a step without feet." - Rumi
