"A dream is just a dream. A goal is a dream with a plan and a deadline."



"Failure lies not in falling down. Failure lies in not getting up." (traditional Chinese proverb)



"Before you speak, ask yourself: Is it kind, is it necessary, is it true, does it improve on the silence?"



"It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit."



"Don't be afraid to take a big step when one is indicated. You can't cross a chasm in two small steps."


Rudyard Kipling’s “If” :-

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
….. etc


But my favourite is attributed to Max Ehrman – "Desiderata" (= that which is to be desired)
[cut to avoid overload, but I'd recommend you pop onto the link and enjoy it all]


Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence.
….
….
With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.

"And so I went through the looking glass, stepped into the netherworld, where up is down and food is greed, where convex mirrors cover the walls, where death is honor and flesh is weak. It is ever so easy to go. Harder to find your way back." - Marya Hornbacher
