Six mistakes mankind keeps making century after century: Believing that personal gain is made by crushing others; Worrying about things that cannot be changed or corrected; Insisting that a thing is impossible because we cannot accomplish it; Refusing to set aside trivial preferences; Neglecting development and refinement of the mind; Attempting to compel others to believe and live as we do. —Marcus Tullius Cicero
If you are going down a road and don’t like what’s in front of you, and look behind you and you don’t like what you see, get off the road. Create a new path. —Maya Angelou
He who is not angry when there is just cause for anger is immoral. Why? Because anger looks to the good of justice. And if you can live amid injustice without anger, you are immoral as well as unjust. —Thomas Aquinas
Whoever you are, you are human. Wherever you are, you live in the world, which is just waiting for you to notice the holiness in it. So welcome to your own priesthood, practiced at the altar of your own life. The good news is that you have everything you need to begin. —Barbara Brown Taylor
We are the same. There is no difference anywhere in the world. People are people. They laugh, cry, feel, and love, and music seems to be the common denomination that brings us all together. Music cuts through all boundaries and goes right to the soul. —Willie Nelson
Have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves. It is possible to live and not know. —Rainer Maria Rilke
