Here are some other inspiring quotes you might like.

When you are listening to somebody, completely, attentively, then you are listening not only to the words, but also to the feeling of what is being conveyed, to the whole of it, not part of it. #<Author:0x00007fdd1068e800>

LISTENING

The only real mistake is the one from which we learn nothing. #<Author:0x00007fdd1bc97458>

LEARNING

The dictionary is the only place that success comes before work. Hard work is the price we must pay for success. I think you can accomplish anything if you're willing to pay the price. #<Author:0x00007fdd106dce60>

HARD WORK

A love of learning has a lot to do with learning that we are loved. #<Author:0x00007fdd10cfe668>

LEARNING

How far you go in life depends on your being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving and tolerant of the weak and strong. Because someday in your life you will have been all of these. #<Author:0x00007fdd10dc4a20>

COMMON GROUND

When there is teamwork and collaboration, wonderful things can be achieved. #<Author:0x00007fdd1181b140>

HONESTY

BELIEVE IN YOURSELF

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:0x00007fdd104f9b48>

MAKING A DIFFERENCE

If human beings are perceived as potentials rather than problems, as possessing strengths instead of weaknesses, as unlimited rather than dull and unresponsive, then they thrive and grow to their capabilities. #<Author:0x00007fdd1bb1f210>

ENCOURAGEMENT

Time is too slow for those who wait, too swift for those who fear, too long for those who grieve, too short for those who rejoice, but for those who love, time is eternity. #<Author:0x00007fdd1bb0c750>

LOVE

To find the universal elements enough; to find the air and the water exhilarating; to be refreshed by a morning walk or an evening saunter... to be thrilled by the stars at night—these are some of the rewards of the simple life. #<Author:0x00007fdd1bb563f0>

APPRECIATING NATURE

To be creative means to be in love with life. You can be creative only if you love life enough that you want to enhance its beauty, you want to bring a little more music to it, a little more poetry to it, a little more dance to it. #<Author:0x00007fdd1bb3ff60>

CREATIVITY

Spirit is like the wind, in that we can’t see it but can see its effects, which are profound. #<Author:0x00007fdd1bb8daf8>

SOUL

Happiness, not in another place, but this place... not for another hour, but for this hour. #<Author:0x00007fdd1bb773e8>

JOY

You may encounter many defeats, but you must not be defeated. In fact, it may be necessary to encounter the defeats, so you can know who you are, what you can rise from, how you can still come out of it. #<Author:0x00007fdd1bb64f18>
