A simple and profound truth....

Service is a smile. It is an acknowledging wave, a reaching handshake, a friendly wink, and a warm hug. It's these simple acts that matter most, because the greatest service to a human soul has always been the kindness of recognition. —Richelle E. Goodrich
Sometimes it is better to lose and do the right thing than to win and do the wrong thing. —Tony Blair
Treat everyone with politeness, even those who are rude to you - not because they are nice, but because you are. —Unknown
The lotus is the most beautiful flower, whose petals open one by one. But it will only grow in the mud. In order to grow and gain wisdom, first you must have the mud --- the obstacles of life and its suffering. ... The mud speaks of the common ground that humans share, no matter what our stations in life. ... Whether we have it all or we have nothing, we are all faced with the same obstacles: sadness, loss, illness, dying and death. If we are to strive as human beings to gain more wisdom, more kindness and more compassion, we must have the intention to grow as a lotus and open each petal one by one. —Goldie Hawn
You just can't beat the person who never gives up. —Babe Ruth
In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing, the next best thing is the wrong thing, and the worst thing you can do is nothing. —Theodore Roosevelt
Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else's life. Don’t be trapped by dogma- which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary. —Steve Jobs
Dedication involves making the space to let young ideas take hold; every tree was once a seed and every company was once an idea. —Zephyr Bloch-Jorgensen
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. Who, being loved, is poor? —Oscar Wilde
Sometimes, carrying on, just carrying on, is the superhuman achievement. —Albert Camus
Three keys to more abundant living: caring about others, daring for others, sharing with others. —William Arthur Ward
Compassion is an action word with no boundaries. —Prince Rogers Nelson
All men should strive to learn before they die, what they are running from, and to, and why. —James Thurber
Every trial endured and weathered in the right spirit makes a soul nobler and stronger than it was before. —James Buckham
A mind that is stretched by a new experience can never go back to its old dimensions. —Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.
For a seed to achieve its greatest expression, it must come completely undone. The shell cracks, its insides come out and everything changes. To someone who doesn't understand growth, it would look like complete destruction. —Cynthia Occelli
