SOUL

PRACTICE

There is nothing so strong or safe in an emergency of life as the simple truth. #<Author:0x00007f24216f7e98>

HONESTY

I speak not for myself but for those without voice… those who have fought for their rights… their right to live in peace, their right to be treated with dignity, their right to equality of opportunity, their right to be educated. #<Author:0x00007f24216ddca0>

EQUALITY

The word 'listen' contains the same letters as the word 'silent'. #<Author:0x00007f242172e678>

LISTENING

The final forming of a person's character lies in their own hands. #<Author:0x00007f24217174a0>

RESPONSIBILITY

Only those who have learned the power of sincere and selfless contribution experience life's deepest joy: true fulfillment. #<Author:0x00007f2421764728>

SELFLESSNESS

We find greatest joy, not in getting, but in expressing what we are. Men do not really live for honors or for pay; their gladness is not the taking and holding, but in doing, the striving, the building, the living. It is a higher joy to teach than to be taught. It is good to get justice, but better to do it; fun to have things but more to make them. The happy man is he who lives the life of love, not for the honors it may bring, but for the life itself. #<Author:0x00007f242174cc40>

JOY

Once we believe in ourselves, we can risk curiosity, wonder, spontaneous delight, or any experience that reveals the human spirit. #<Author:0x00007f2421794f18>

BELIEVE IN YOURSELF

Storms make trees take deeper roots. #<Author:0x00007f242177da20>

STRENGTH

The strongest trust is built by the smallest actions, the keeping of the little promises. #<Author:0x00007f24217ce718>

LOYALTY

Anyone can look for fashion in a boutique or history in a museum. The creative explorer looks for history in a hardware store and fashion in an airport. #<Author:0x00007f24217b7018>

CREATIVITY

Problems can become opportunities when the right people come together. #<Author:0x00007f242179f6c0>

TEAMWORK

I have never been a millionaire. But I have enjoyed a great meal, a crackling fire, a glorious sunset, a walk with a friend, a hug from a child, a cup of soup, a kiss behind the ear. There are plenty of life’s tiny delights for all of us. #<Author:0x00007f24217fc960>

APPRECIATION

Hard work is painful when life is devoid of purpose. But when you live for something greater than yourself and the gratification of your own ego, then hard work becomes a labor of love. #<Author:0x00007f24217e4db0>

COMPLIMENTS

To strengthen the muscles of your heart, the best exercise is lifting someone else's spirit whenever you can. #<Author:0x00007f24218351e8>
