Who looks outside, dreams;

An ounce of practice is worth more than tons of preaching.

Mohandas Gandhi

Every moment is the most important moment in your life.

David Deida

The question is not ‘can I make a difference?’ You already do make a difference. It’s just a matter of what kind of difference do you want to make during your life on this planet.

Julia Butterfly Hill

As human beings, our greatness lies not so much in being able to remake the world - that is the myth of the atomic age - as in being able to remake ourselves.

Mohandas Gandhi

Everybody today seems to be in such a terrible rush, anxious for greater developments and greater riches and so on, so that children have very little time for their parents. Parents have very little time for each other, and in the home begins the disruption of peace of the world.

Faith is taking the first step even when you don't see the whole staircase.

Be not simply good, be good for something.

Henry David Thoreau

I know of no more encouraging fact than the unquestionable ability of man to elevate his life by conscious endeavor.

Henry David Thoreau

We tend to measure life by too one-sided a standard: its length rather than its greatness; we think more of extending life than of filling it."

During cloudy days
and dark nights,
the sun still shines…
It’s light has never ceased.

I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Nelson Mandela

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, to be gorgeous, talented, and fabulous.
Actually, who are you not to be? Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that others won't feel insecure around you. As we let our light shine, we consciously give others permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

Marianne Williamson
