Hold on to what is good,

Even if it is a handful of earth

Hold on to what you believe,

Even if it's a tree standing by itself

Hold on to what you must do

Even if it's a long way from here.

Hold on to your life,

Even if it's easier to let go.

Hold on to my hand,

Even if I have gone away from you.

 

Pueblo Indian Prayer.

 

 

 

 

You gain strength, courage and confidence 
by every experience in which you stop 
to look fear in the face.

Do not go where the path may lead,

I will permit no man 
to narrow and degrade my soul 
by making me hate him.

Booker T. Washington

The tragedy of life is not that it ends so soon,

Man cannot discover new oceans 
unless he has the courage 
to lose sight of the shore.

The more sand that has escaped 
from the hourglass of our life, 
the clearer we should see through it.

One word frees us of all the weight 
and pain of life; that word is love.

"Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. 
Small people always do that, 
but the really great make you feel 
that you, too, can become great." 

Mark Twain

Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, 
a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, 
an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, 
all of which have the potential to turn a life around. 

Leo Buscaglia


What lies behind us
and what lies before us
are small matters
compared to what lies..
.......within us
