“I am only one, but still I am one. I cannot do everything, but still I can do something; And because I cannot do everything I will not refuse to do the something that I can do.”

Helen Keller

Optimism doesn’t mean that you are blind to the reality of the situation. It means that you remain motivated to seek a solution to whatever problems arise.

THE DALAI LAMA

Be a bush if you can’t be a tree. If you can’t be a highway, just be a trail. If you can’t be a sun, be a star. For it isn’t by size that you win or fail. Be the best of whatever you are.

MARTIN LUTHER KING JR.

Gratitude is a quality similar to electricity: It must be produced and discharged and used up in order to exist at all.

WILLIAM FAULKNER

What do we live for, if not to make life less difficult for each other?

GEORGE ELIOT

I have just three things to teach: simplicity, patience, compassion. These three are your greatest treasures.

LAO TZU

The first wealth is health.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

With every drop of water you drink, every breath you take, you’re connected to the sea. No matter where on Earth you live.

SYLVIA EARLE

We inevitably fall short or fall down, but you must never ever stay down. The past cannot be changed; learn from it. Always get back up, fight the good fight, and be the best “you” that you can be. Do this moment by moment. Do this daily. Do this forever.

Mark F.

All things are connected like the blood that unites us. We do not weave the web of life, we are merely a strand in it. Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves.
