I have decided to write down some quotes that I like. Some quotes I have them accredited. Unfortunately some I have written down without their source...
"The concept of cooperation is sweet: together we achieve better things than separately."
"Always remember to forget the troubles that come your way;
But never forget to remember the blessings that come each day."
" Each morning when I open my eyes I say to myself,
I not events have the power to make me happy or unhappy today.
I can chose which it shall be.
Yesterday is dead,
tomorrow hasn't arrived yet.
I have just one day today,
and I am going to be happy in it."
Groucho Marx
"The greatest Happiness is to transform ones feelings into actions"
Madame de Stael
"Joy can be real only if people look upon their life as a service, and have a definite object in life outside themselves and their personal happiness" Leo Tolstay
"Everybody needs beauty as well as bread, places to play in and pray in where nature may heal and cheer and give strength to the body and soul." John Muir
" Isn't it precisely the privilege of the artist to render precious, to ennoble the most humble subject."
Matisse
"Whatever you can do or imagine, begin it; boldness has beauty, magic and power in it." Goethe
"The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams." Eleanor Roosevelt
"Never resist a generous impulse." Camilla Kimball
"If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put foundations under them." Henry David Thoreau
"The painter makes real to others his innermost feelings about all that he cares for. A secret becomes known to everyone who views the picture through the intensity with which it is felt." Lucien Freud
" Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities have crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day. You shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense." Emerson
"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous? Actually, who are we not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to make the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us, It's in everyone. And as we let our light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. as we are liberated from our own fears, our presence automatically liberates others." A Return to Love, by Marianne Williamson, as quoted by Nelson Mandela in his inaugural speech, 1994
"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat." Theodore Roosevelt, "Citizenship in a Republic, "Speech at the Sorbonne, Paris, April 23, 1910
"My heart wants roots,
my mind wants wings.
I cannot bear
Their bickerings." E.V. Harburg
" If you hear a voice within you saying, "You are not a painter," Then by all means paint...that voice will be silenced." Vincent Van Gogh
" Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time." Thomas Merton
"The secret of happiness lies in taking a genuine interest in all the details of daily life and elevating them to an art."
"Adopt the pace of nature: her secret is patience." Ralph Waldo Emerson
"Beauty is not simply something to behold; it is something one could do." Toni Morrison
"They can because they think they can." Virginia Woolf
"There is a pleasure in the pathless woods,
there is rapture on the lonely shore,
There is society, where no one intrudes,
by the deep sea, and music in it's roar.
I love not man less, but nature more."
Byron
"Though we travel the world over to find the beautiful, we must carry it with us or we find it not."
Ralph Waldo Emerson
