Here are some quotes I just found on the way...
Maybe you find me somewhere in there...
To laugh is to risk appearing the fool,
To weep is to risk being called sentimental.
To reach out to another is to risk involvement.
To expose feelings is to risk showing your true self.
To place your ideas and your dreams before the crowd
is to risk being called naive.
To love is to risk not being loved in return.
To live is to risk dying.
To hope is to risk despair,
To try is to risk failure.
But risks must be taken, because the greatest risk in life is to
risk nothing.
The person who risks nothing, does nothing, has nothing, is
nothing, and becomes nothing.
He may avoid suffering and sorrow, but he simply cannot learn,
feel, change, grow or love.
Chained by his certitude, he is a slave; he has forfeited his
freedom.
Only the person who risks is truly free.
Leo Buscaglia
"The difference between fiction and reality? Fiction has to make sense."
Tom Clancy
"Today is the first day of the rest of your life - celebrate now!"
Though no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.
"It's better to be hated for what you are, than to be loved for what you're not."
Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift, that's why we call it the present.
Winnie the Pooh
"The world is round and the place
which may seem like the end
may also be only the beginning."
- Ivy Baker Priest
If you can dream it -
you can do it!
Walt Disney
Don't be so open-minded that your brains fall out.
The early bird may get the worm, but it's the second mouse who gets the cheese.
"I wish there was a knob on the TV to turn up the intelligence. There's a knob called 'brightness,' but it doesn't work."
Tell a man that there are 400 billion stars and he'll believe you. Tell him a bench has wet paint and he has to touch it.
If you think education is expensive, try ignorance.
Derek Bok
