Here are some other inspiring quotes you might like.

If the world is to be healed through human efforts, I am convinced it will be by ordinary people, people whose love for this life is even greater than their fear. #<Author:0x00007f1667b849d8>

COURAGE

The capacity for getting along with our neighbor depends to a large extent on the capacity for getting along with ourselves. The self-respecting individual will try to be as tolerant of his neighbor's shortcomings as he is of his own. #<Author:0x00007f1667b4e5e0>

RESPECT

We cannot seek achievement for ourselves and forget about progress and prosperity for our community...Our ambitions must be broad enough to include the aspirations and needs of others, for their sakes and for our own. #<Author:0x00007f1667b28a20>

SHARING

Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself. #<Author:0x00007f1667bb6c30>

WISDOM

Great things can be achieved by leading through wisdom, empathy, and integrity—with no other agenda than humanity. #<Author:0x00007f1667b99040>

LEADERSHIP

For it is in giving that we receive. #<Author:0x00007f1667c1b5e0>

GIVING BACK

A good teacher can inspire hope, ignite the imagination, and instill a love of learning. #<Author:0x00007f1667bf5b60>

HOPE

RESILIENCE

Into each day, put in about one teaspoonful of good spirits, a dash of fun, a pinch of folly, a sprinkling of play, and a heaping cupful of good humor!

HUMOR

Be soft. Do not let the world make you hard. Do not let pain make you hate. Do not let the bitterness steal your sweetness. Take pride that even though the rest of the world may disagree, you still believe it to be a beautiful place. #<Author:0x00007f1667c4c578>

BELIEVE

Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Almost everything--all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure--these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart. #<Author:0x00007f1667cd6430>

MINDFULNESS

When I say it's you I like, I'm talking about that part of you that knows that life is far more than anything you can ever see or hear or touch. That deep part of you that allows you to stand for those things without which humankind cannot survive. Love that conquers hate, peace that rises triumphant over war, and justice that proves more powerful than greed. #<Author:0x00007f1667cb4948>

PEACE

The vision must be followed by the venture. It is not enough to stare up the steps - we must step up the stairs. #<Author:0x00007f1667d32b40>

MOTIVATION

When there is teamwork and collaboration, wonderful things can be achieved. #<Author:0x00007f1667d15068>

TEAMWORK

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:0x00007f1667ceed78>

SHARING

You must be the change you wish to see in the world. #<Author:0x00007f1667d7da28>
