After you hear and listen. First must come desire. Second must come willingness. Third should come understanding. Fourth should come progression and with progression will come more understanding.

Nobody realizes that some people expend tremendous energy merely to be normal.

In three words I can sum up everything I’ve learned about life: it goes on.

Maybe this world is another planet’s hell.

To sell your soul is the easiest thing in the world. That’s what everybody does every hour of his life. If I asked you to keep your soul – would you understand why that’s much harder?

Action expresses priorities.

All that happens means something; nothing you do is ever insignificant.

Do I not destroy my enemies when I make them my friends?

It is not as much about who you used to be, as it is about who you choose to be.

Start each day with a positive thought and a grateful heart.

Most of one’s life is one prolonged effort to prevent oneself thinking.

I draw from the well what I like. The well has both mud and water.

Don’t let mental blocks control you. Set yourself free. Confront your fear and turn the mental blocks into building blocks.

No crime is a means to an end. No crime can be rationalized.

To each there comes in their lifetime a special moment when they are figuratively tapped on the shoulder and offered the chance to do a very special thing, unique to them and fitted to their talents. What a tragedy if that moment finds them unprepared or unqualified for that which could have been their finest hour.

Crediting someone for your unhappiness is about not taking responsibility yourself.

Keep love in your heart. A life without it is like a sunless garden when the flowers are dead. The consciousness of loving and being loved brings a warmth and a richness to life that nothing else can bring.

Create childish words. Commingle what you feel with determined, mesmerizing, musical voices whispering cry smile wonder.

If you want to find happiness, find gratitude.

Attitude is a choice. Happiness is a choice. Optimism is a choice. Kindness is a choice. Giving is a choice. Respect is a choice. Whatever choice you make makes you. Choose wisely.

You never change your life until you step out of your comfort zone; change begins at the end of your comfort zone.

Life has knocked me down plenty of times. But there’s always a little bit of me that tells me to get back up, to rise, and shine. It reminds me that I don’t belong in the dust. I belong in the stars and that’s where I should be headed. And that little bit of me… that’s the one I love the most!

You are conditioned to believe that if you let go, if you surrender, you will either be a victim of circumstances and not assertive in your own being, or you will be viewed as being lazy, lacking in willpower, and un-motivated. Yet will and power cannot exist alongside one another. Motivation does not come into question when you surrender fully into the present moment. Motivation to do, to take action, to make moves, comes naturally from this surrender.

Breath of life is common to all living beings.

Real change is difficult at the beginning. Without the familiar to rely upon, you may not in as much command as you had once been. When things are not going your way, you will start doubting yourself. Stay positive, keep the faith, and keep moving forward – your breakthrough may be just around the corner.

The aim of life is self-development. To realize one’s nature perfectly – that is what each of us is here for.

Be grateful for what you already have while you pursue your goals. If you aren’t grateful for what you already have, what makes you think you would be happy with more.

To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all.

Imagination is a quality that was given to man compensate him from whats not. The sense of humor was given to console him from what is.

Live the Life of Your Dreams When you start living the life of your dreams, there will always be obstacles, doubters, mistakes and setbacks along the way. But with hard work, perseverance and self-belief there is no limit to what you can achieve.

Letting go means to come to the realization that some people are a part of your history, but not a part of your destiny.

I think people would live a bit longer if they didn’t know how old they were. Age puts restrictions on things.

With a hint of good judgment, to fear nothing, not failure or suffering or even death, indicates that you value life the most. You live to the extreme; you push limits; you spend your time building legacies. Those do not die.

We, unaccustomed to courage exiles from delight live coiled in shells of loneliness until love leaves its high holy temple and comes into our sight to liberate us into life. Love arrives and in its train come ecstasies old memories of pleasure ancient histories of pain. Yet if we are bold, love strikes away the chains of fear from our souls. We are weaned from our timidity In the flush of love’s light we dare be brave And suddenly we see that love costs all we are and will ever be. Yet it is only love which sets us free.

Show how you can get me back my childhood Do not keep reminding me of my past otherwise

At any given point you can release your greatest self. Don’t let anyone hold you back. Don’t let anyone dilute you. Don’t be peer pressured into being less than you are. People willing to dilute themselves for the sake of others is one of the great tragedies of our time. Stop letting others define and set the pace for your life. Get out there and be your best. Do your best. Live your best. Make every day count and you’ll see how exponentially more exciting, thrilling, successful, happy and full your life will be.

The first step to the knowledge of the wonder and mystery of life is the recognition of the monstrous nature of the earthly human realm as well as its glory, the realization that this is just how it is and that it cannot and will not be changed. Those who think they know how the universe could have been had they created it, without pain, without sorrow, without time, without death, are unfit for illumination.

Do what is right, not what is easy nor what is popular.

To become and unbecome lies in your hand, your willpower defines how far.

My life has been one great big joke, A dance that’s walked, A song that’s spoke, I laugh so hard I almost choke, When I think about myself.

You cannot change what you are, only what you do.

Paradoxically though it may seem, it is none the less true that life imitates art far more than art imitates life.

When Great Trees Fall When great trees fall, rocks on distant hills shudder, lions hunker down in tall grasses, and even elephants lumber after safety. When great trees fall in forests, small things recoil into silence, their senses eroded beyond fear. When great souls die, the air around us becomes light, rare, sterile. We breathe, briefly. Our eyes, briefly, see with a hurtful clarity. Our memory, suddenly sharpened, examines, gnaws on kind words unsaid, promised walks never taken. Great souls die and our reality, bound to them, takes leave of us. Our souls, dependent upon their nurture, now shrink, wizened. Our minds, formed and informed by their radiance, fall away. We are not so much maddened as reduced to the unutterable ignorance of dark, cold caves. And when great souls die, after a period peace blooms, slowly and always irregularly. Spaces fill with a kind of soothing electric vibration. Our senses, restored, never to be the same, whisper to us. They existed. They existed. We can be. Be and be better. For they existed.

Life is about accepting the challenges along the way, choosing to keep moving forward, and savoring the journey.

Life is a succession of lessons which must be lived to be understood.

Art is unquestionably one of the purest and highest elements in human happiness. It trains the mind through the eye, and the eye through the mind. As the sun colors flowers, so does art color life.

The surest way to make your dreams come true is to live them.

. I am not speaking, of course, of the beauty which strikes the senses, of the beauty of qualities and appearances. I am far from despising this, but it has nothing to do with science. What I mean is that more intimate beauty which comes from the harmonious order of its parts, and which a pure intelligence can grasp.

Killers aren’t always assassins. Sometimes, they don’t even have blood on their hands.

Do you know where your breakthrough begins? Your breakthrough begins where your excuses ends.

Make your lives a masterpiece, you only get one canvas.

Despair is the price one pays for setting oneself an impossible aim. It is, one is told, the unforgivable sin, but it is a sin the corrupt or evil man never practices. He always has hope. He never reaches the freezing-point of knowing absolute failure. Only the man of goodwill carries always in his heart this capacity for damnation.

I never approve, or disapprove, of anything now. It is an absurd attitude to take towards life.

A birth-date is a reminder to celebrate the life as well as to update the life.

Anyone who lives within their means suffers from a lack of imagination.

Leave that room, kid. Shut the screen off. Take your dirty shoes, not the pretty ones, and go out to feel the wind. Touch water. Touch earth. Touch wood, touch skin, touch everything you can touch and memorise everything because that’s all you will live off in the end, and that’s all you will need.

Don’t say you don’t have enough time. You have exactly the same number of hours per day that were given to Helen Keller, Pasteur, Michelangelo, Mother Teresa, Leonardo da Vinci, Thomas Jefferson, and Albert Einstein.

Invest your time to know your self. Things which are meant for you follows you in your way.

Can you remember who you were, before the world told you who you should be?

Believe in yourself. You are braver than you think, more talented than you know, and capable of more than you imagine.

A kiss may ruin a human life

People don’t like to think, if one thinks, one must reach conclusions. Conclusions are not always pleasant.

The most important thing is this: to be able at any moment to be free to choose a life that makes you happy.

Don’t be too timid and squeamish about your actions. All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better.

To regret one’s own experiences is to arrest one’s own development. To deny one’s own experiences is to put a lie into the lips of one’s own life. It is no less than a denial of the soul.

Every man has his secret sorrows which the world knows not; and often times we call a man cold when he is only sad.

A bend in the road is not the end of the road…Unless you fail to make the turn.

Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much

Invest your time to know your self. Things which are meant for you follows you in your way.

Happiness does not come from without, it comes from within

Let me give you a tip on a clue to men’s characters: the man who damns money has obtained it dishonorably; the man who respects it has earned it.

Live to the point of tears.

Every woman that finally figured out her worth, has picked up her suitcases of pride and boarded a flight to freedom, which landed in the valley of change.

The true mystery of the world is the visible, not the invisible.
