INCLUSION
The moment when you first wake up in the morning is the most wonderful of the twenty-four hours. No matter how weary or dreary you may feel, you possess the certainty that, during the day that lies before you, absolutely anything may happen. And the fact that it practically always doesn’t matters not a jot. The possibility is always there. #<Author:0x00007fa7f5498438>

MAKING A DIFFERENCE
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; to be elated over a bird's nest or a wildflower in spring — these are some of the rewards of the simple life. #<Author:0x00007fa7f5561950>

CREATIVITY
What makes a river so restful to people is that it doesn't have any doubt - it is sure to get where it is going, and it doesn't want to go anywhere else. #<Author:0x00007fa7f5868f68>
AMBITION
Be who you are and say what you feel, because in the end those who matter don't mind and those who mind don't matter. #<Author:0x00007fa7f5b64b68>

To be courageous requires no exceptional qualifications, no magic formula. It's an opportunity that sooner or later is presented to us all and each person must look for that courage in their own soul. #<Author:0x00007fa7f5dd71e8>
COURAGE
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:0x00007fa7f5e03680>
CREATIVITY
The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why. #<Author:0x00007fa7f5e19750>
