Sometimes our light goes out but is blown into flame by another human being. Each of us owes deepest thanks to those who have rekindled this light. —Albert Schweitzer

Good character is more to be praised than outstanding talent. Most talents are to some extent a gift. Good character, by contrast, is not given to us. We have to build it piece by piece by thought, choice, courage and determination. #<Author:0x00007f2d58c6f1b0>

APPRECIATION
Life is a gift, and it offers us the privilege, opportunity, and responsibility to give something back by becoming more. #<Author:0x00007f2d58cbc870>
GIVING BACK
Compassion is the sometimes fatal capacity for feeling what it is like to live inside somebody else's skin. It's the knowledge that there can never really be any peace and joy for me until there is peace and joy finally for you too. #<Author:0x00007f2d58d05c28>
COMPASSION
I believe success is achieved by ordinary people with extraordinary determination. #<Author:0x00007f2d58cef928>

Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today and creates a vision for tomorrow. #<Author:0x00007f2d58d2f6e0>
GRATITUDE
Some people want it to happen, some wish it would happen, others make it happen. #<Author:0x00007f2d58d7e970>

GOOD MANNERS

LIVE YOUR DREAMS
Never forget that you are one of a kind. Never forget that if there weren't any need for you in all your uniqueness to be on this earth, you wouldn't be here in the first place. And never forget, no matter how overwhelming life's challenges and problems seem to be, that one person can make a difference in the world. In fact, it is always because of one person that all the changes that matter in the world come about. So be that one person. #<Author:0x00007f2d58d9f878>
MAKING A DIFFERENCE
It may take courage to embrace the possibilities of your own potential, but once you've flown past the summit of your fears, nothing will seem impossible. #<Author:0x00007f2d58d8c5c0>
