FITNESS
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, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be? #<Author:0x00007f68ddf94028>
CONFIDENCE

CONFIDENCE
It's easy to find reasons for division between people. Finding common ground is harder, but a step towards happiness. #<Author:0x00007f68de0594b8>
COMMON GROUND
Ask not for an easy life...ask for the strength to face the elements, to weather the storms; to be the might for the right and the weak, to be the voice for those who cannot speak, to see one's dreams to fruition with dignity, integrity, and grace. #<Author:0x00007f68de043730>
STRENGTH
Every human being, of whatever origin, of whatever station, deserves respect. We must each respect others even as we respect ourselves. #<Author:0x00007f68de091ef8>
RESPECT
A smile starts on the lips, A grin spreads to the eyes, A chuckle comes from the belly; But a good laugh bursts forth from the soul, Overflows, and bubbles all around. #<Author:0x00007f68de080248>
LAUGHTER
When you walk a life of honesty, you live a life of truth. #<Author:0x00007f68de06a998>
HONESTY
The most fortunate are those who have a wonderful capacity to appreciate again and again, freshly and naively, the basic goods of life, with awe, pleasure, wonder. #<Author:0x00007f68de0b91d8>
APPRECIATION
If you see someone without a smile, give them one of yours. #<Author:0x00007f68de0a3a18>
SMILE
The key to everything is patience. You get the chicken by hatching the egg, not by smashing it. #<Author:0x00007f68de3c5e80>
PATIENCE
He who has health, has hope; and he who has hope, has everything. #<Author:0x00007f68de0e0418>
HEALTH
When someone steals another's clothes, we call them a thief. Should we not give the same name to one who could clothe the naked and does not? The bread in your cupboard belongs to the hungry; the coat unused in your closet belongs to the one who needs it; the shoes rotting in your closet belong to the one who has no shoes; the money which you hoard up belongs to the poor. #<Author:0x00007f68de0ca8e8>
