Resentment

“Let today be the day you stop being haunted by the ghost of yesterday. Holding a grudge & harboring anger/resentment is poison to the soul. Get even with people... but not those who have hurt us, forget them, instead get even with those who have helped us.”

― Steve Maraboli 

Love

“It is easy to love the people far away. It is not always easy to love those close to us. It is easier to give a cup of rice to relieve hunger than to relieve the loneliness and pain of someone unloved in our own home. Bring love into your home for this is where our love for each other must start.”

― Mother Teresa

Success

 “The difference between successful people and really successful people is that really successful people say no to almost everything.”

― Warren Buffett 

Decisions

“Remember, a real decision is measured by the fact that you've taken new action. If there's no action, you haven't truly decided.”

― Tony Robbins 

Cowardice

“Staying silent is like a slow growing cancer to the soul and a trait of a true coward. There is nothing intelligent about not standing up for yourself. You may not win every battle. However, everyone will at least know what you stood for - YOU.”

― Shannon L. Alder

Aging

 “It is not true that people stop pursuing dreams because they grow old, they grow old because they stop pursuing dreams.”

― Gabriel Garcia Marquez

Shame

“Whatever is begun in anger ends in shame.”

― Benjamin Franklin 

Present

 “The clock is running. Make the most of today. Time waits for no man. Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift. That's why it is called the present.”

― Alice Morse Earle 

Understanding

“Each of us has lived through some devastation, some loneliness, some weather superstorm or spiritual superstorm. When we look at each other we must say, I understand. I understand how you feel because I have been there myself. We must support each other because each of us is more alike than we are unalike.”

― Maya Angelou 

Heros

 “A hero is someone who, in spite of weakness, doubt or not always knowing the answers, goes ahead and overcomes anyway.”

― Christopher Reeve 

Acceptance

“Acceptance doesn't mean resignation; it means understanding that something is what it is and that there's got to be a way through it.”

― Michael J. Fox 

Happiness

   “When we recall the past, we usually find that it is the simplest things - not the great occasions - that in retrospect give off the greatest glow of happiness.”

― Bob Hope 

Work Hard.

“There is nothing wrong with dreaming big dreams, just know that all roads that lead to success have to pass through Hardwork Boulevard at some point.”

― Eric Thomas 

Friendships

 “To let friendship die away by negligence and silence is certainly not wise. It is voluntarily to throw away one of the greatest comforts of this weary pilgrimage.”

― Samuel Johnson 

Leadership

“Men make history and not the other way around. In periods where there is no leadership, society stands still. Progress occurs when courageous, skillful leaders seize the opportunity to change things for the better.”

― Harry S. Truman 

Attitude

 “It isn't what you have or who you are or where you are or what you are doing that makes you happy or unhappy. It is what you think about it.”

― Dale Carnegie 

Hard Work

“Nothing in the world is worth having or worth doing unless it means effort, pain, difficulty... I have never in my life envied a human being who led an easy life. I have envied a great many people who led difficult lives and led them well.”

― Theodore Roosevelt 

Determination

“People who lack the clarity, courage, or determination to follow their own dreams will often find ways to discourage yours. Live your truth and don't EVER stop!”

― Steve Maraboli 

Optimism

  “One of the things I learned the hard way was that it doesn't pay to get discouraged. Keeping busy and making optimism a way of life can restore your faith in yourself.”

― Lucille Ball 

Excellence

“We should not judge people by their peak of excellence; but by the distance they have traveled from the point where they started.”

― Henry Ward Beecher 

Achievement

 “Look at a day when you are supremely satisfied at the end. It's not a day when you lounge around doing nothing; it's a day you've had everything to do and you've done it.”

― Margaret Thatcher 

Generosity

 “Be generous. Give to those you love; give to those who love you, give to the fortunate, give to the unfortunate - yes, give especially to those you don't want to give. You will receive abundance for your giving. The more you give, the more you will have.”

― W. Clement Stone 

Criticism

“The motive behind criticism often determines its validity. Those who care criticize where necessary. Those who envy criticize the moment they think that they have found a weak spot.”

― Criss Jami 

Tact

 “Tact is the ability to tell someone to go to hell in such a way that they look forward to the trip.”
