OVERCOMING

For every beauty there is an eye somewhere to see it. For every truth there is an ear somewhere to hear it. For every love there is a heart somewhere to receive it. #<Author:0x00007f113e8ac298>

CHARACTER

HOPE

A true friend knows your weaknesses but shows you your strengths; feels your fears but fortifies your faith; sees your anxieties but frees your spirit; recognizes your disabilities but emphasizes your possibilities. #<Author:0x00007f113e95eec0>

FRIENDSHIP

TEACHING BY EXAMPLE

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:0x00007f113e99dcd8>

AMBITION

I expect to pass through life but once. If therefore, there be any kindness I can show, or any good thing I can do to any fellow being, let me do it now, and not defer or neglect it, as I shall not pass this way again. #<Author:0x00007f113e9fdc00>

HELPING OTHERS

There’s something very freeing about losing the anchors that have always defined you. Frightening, sad, but exhilarating in a poignant way, as well. You’re free to float to the moon and evaporate or sink to the bottom of the deepest ocean. But you’re free to explore. Some people confuse that with drifting, I suppose. I like to think of it as growing. #<Author:0x00007f113e9dcb90>

SPREAD YOUR WINGS

There's something about love that people just have to respond to. #<Author:0x00007f113e9c43b0>
