Kalam 1931-2015

I have is all I need.. And all I need is all I have in this moment.

Helen
Keller 1880-1968
American author, disability rights advocate &

Everything
has its wonders, even darkness and silence. And I learn whatever
state I may be in, therein to be content.
I long to accomplish a great and noble task, but it is my chief duty to accomplish small tasks as if they were great and noble.
Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see the shadows.
What we have once enjoyed we can never lose. All that we love deeply becomes a part of us.
When one door of happiness closes, another opens.. But, often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us.
Thomas
Kempis 1379-1471

If
there is joy in the world, the man whose heart is pure will certainly
possess it. If there is trouble and distress anywhere, the bad
conscience is the one more likely to feel it.

Birds
sing after a storm.. Why shouldn’t people feel as free to delight
in whatever sunlight remains to them?
Miranda
Kerr 1983
Australian model
A
rose can never be a sunflower and a sunflower can never be a rose.
All flowers are beautiful in their own way, and that’s like women
too.
Everyone has a different beauty and different qualities and I think that women need to learn to love their qualities and be comfortable in the fact that everyone is different.
Happiness is a choice we make. You can wake up and say, “Oh, I can’t believe it’s so cold,” or you can say, “Oh, wow, this is a great opportunity for me to try out my new sweater.” No one can be consistently positive, but why not make the choice that makes you feel better, rather than the one that drags you down?
I am a vibrant, healthy and joyful Being of Light and Love.
I feel like life is really short, and it’s important to enjoy yourself and embrace whatever comes your way, whether it’s a challenging day or a great day, just welcome it with open arms. No matter who you are, you can’t escape challenges, they are part of life.
In being love.. I give love. In being joy.. I give joy. In being happiness.. I give happiness. Everything I need is within.
Miranda
Kerr 1983
Australian model
Knowing yourself and coming to trust your feelings and your intuition will open up your life to greater possibilities and keep you moving toward your goals. One thing I have learned is that I should trust my gut instincts. Ultimately, only we know what is best for us.
Life is too short to give another minute to anyone or anything that doesn’t make you happy.
We all have bad days, but one thing is true.. No cloud is so dark that sun can’t shine through.

positive.
Martin
Luther King Jr 1929-1968
American Baptist minister & civil
rights activist
If
a man is called to be a street sweeper, he should sweep streets even
as Michelangelo painted, or Beethoven composed music, or Shakespeare
wrote poetry. He should sweep streets as well that all the hosts of
heaven and earth will pause to say, “Here lived a great street
sweeper who did his job well.”
If you can’t fly then run, if you can’t run then walk, if you can’t walk then crawl, but whatever you do, you have to keep moving forward.
I’ve looked over, and I’ve seen the promised land. I’m not worried about anything, I’m not fearing any man.
We must learn to live together as brothers or we are going to perish together as fools.

will begin to live each day to the fullest, as if it was the only one
we had.
Charles
Kuralt 1934-1997

I
think all those people I did stories about measured their own success
by the joy their work was giving them.
My parents encouraged me in everything I ever wanted to do.
The love of family and the admiration of friends is much more important than wealth and privilege.

I am not in this world to live up to your expectations.
And you are not in this world to live up to mine.
If you always put limit on everything you do, physical or anything else, it will spread into your work and into your life. There are no limits. There are only plateaus, and you must not stay there, you must go beyond them.
Bruce
Lee 1940-1973
Hong-Kong-American martial artist & actor
In every passionate pursuit, the pursuit counts more than the object pursued.
Bruce
Lee 1940-1973
Hong-Kong-American martial artist & actor
Knowing is not enough.. We must apply.
Willing is not enough.. We must do.
Sorrows are our best educator. A man can see further through a tear than a telescope.
To live content with small means. To seek elegance rather than luxury and refinement rather than fashion. To be worthy, not respectable and wealthy not rich. To study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly. To bear all cheerfully, do all bravely, await occasions, hurry never. In other words.. To let the Spiritual, unbidden and unconscious grow up through the common.
Madeleine
L’Engle 1918-2007

Gotthold
Ephraim Lessing 1729-1781
German philosopher & writer
For
the will and not the gift makes the giver.
It is not the truth that a man possesses, or believes that he possesses, but the earnest effort which he puts forward to reach the truth, which constitutes the worth of a man.
Daniel
Levin
Feel
gratitude for everything. When we see every situation as being
perfect just the way it is, happiness grows and grows.
C.
S. Lewis 1898-1963
British author & Anglican lay
theologian
Do
not waste time bothering whether you ‘love’ your neighbour; act
as if you did. As soon as we do this we find one of the great
secrets.. When you are behaving as if you love someone, you will
presently come to love him.
Hardships often prepare ordinary people for an extraordinary destiny.
When we lose one blessing, another is often most unexpectedly given in its place.
You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream.

The
moment you change your perception, is the moment you re-write the
chemistry of your body.
Vince
Lombardi 1913-1970
American football coach
Individual
commitment to a group effort.. That is what makes a team work - a
company work, a society work, a civilization work.
Once a man has made a commitment to a way of life, he puts the greatest strength in the world behind him. It’s something we call heart power. Once a man has made this commitment, nothing will stop him short of success.
People who work together will win, whether it be against complex football defences, or the problems of modern society.
Perfection is not attainable.. But, if we chase perfection, we can catch excellence.
Success is based upon a spiritual quality, a power to inspire others.
The quality of a person’s life is in direct proportion to their commitment to excellence, regardless of their chosen field of endeavor.
Vince
Lombardi 1913-1970
American football coach
Winning is not everything.. But, making the effort to win is.
Henry
Wadsworth Longfellow 1807-1882

If
we could read the secret history of our enemies, we should find in
each man’s life sorrow and suffering enough to disarm all
hostility.
John
Lubbock 1834-1913
English archaeologist, biologist &
author
The
whole value of solitude depends upon oneself; it may be a sanctuary
or a prison, a haven of repose or a place of punishment, a heaven or
a hell, as we ourselves make it.
We are all great landed proprietors, if we only knew it. What we lack is not land, but the power to enjoy it. Moreover, this great inheritance has the additional advantage that it entails no labour, requires no management. The landlord has the trouble, but the landscape belongs to everyone who has eyes to see it.
We often hear of bad weather, but in reality no weather is bad. It is all delightful, though in different ways. Some weather may be bad for farmers of crops, but for man all kinds are good. Sunshine is delicious, rain is refreshing, wind braces us up, snow is exhilarating.
Howard
Lyman 1938

Do
what you can do. As well as you can do it, every day of your life and

Douglas
MacArthur
1880-1964
American General of United States Army
We
are not retreating, we are advancing in another direction.
You
are as young as your faith, as old as your doubt.
As young as your
self-confidence, as old as your fear.
As young as your hope, as old
as your despair.
Harvey
MacKay 1932
American businessman, author & columnist
It
doesn’t matter if they say you can’t do it.. It only matters if
you say you can’t.
Life is 10% how you make it and 90% how you take it.
Shirley
MacLaine 1934

I
realized that if what we call human nature can be changed, then
absolutely anything is possible. And from that moment, my life
changed.
Nelson
Mandela 1918-2013
South African president & anti-apartheid
activist
I
learned that courage was not the absence of fear.. But the triumph
over it.
No one is born hating another person because of the colour of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.
Og
Mandino 1923-1996

Do all things with love.
Sargy
Mann 1937-2015
British painter
I
had to sort of re-invent painting for myself, it seemed sort of more
or less impossible, but if you’re determined to keep on going, you
know you don’t need to give up because if your subject is your own
experience then as long as you’re having an experience, you’ve
got a subject. And that has turned out to be true, even into total
blindness.
Mark
Manson 1984
American self-help author & blogger
It’s
simple: Treat yourself well, while not harming others. Treat others
well, while not harming yourself.
Steve
Maraboli 1975

Don’t
give up. It’s not over. The Universe is balanced. Every set-back
bears with it the seeds of a come-back.
Every time I thought I was being rejected from something good, I was actually being re-directed to something better.
Steve
Maraboli 1975
American author & speaker
I will be generous with my love today. I will sprinkle compliments and uplifting words everywhere I go. I will do this knowing that my words are like seeds and when they fall on fertile soil a reflection of those seeds will grow into something greater.
Let go of the people who dull your shine, poison your spirit and bring you drama. Cancel your subscription to their issues.
The only permission, the only validation and the only opinion that matters in our quest for greatness, is our own.

Some
people feel the rain.. Others just get wet.
Ralph
Marston
Author of The Daily Motivator
Every
day is a day to be thankful. Life’s
abundance has no limit, and gratitude is what keeps abundance
flowing. In every circumstance there is something for which to be
thankful. Even when there seems to be nothing else, there is hope.
Happiness is a choice, not a result. Nothing will make you happy until you choose to be happy. No person will make you happy unless you decide to be happy. Your happiness will not come to you, it can only come from you.
Matthew-Suzanne
Ward
Channeller & author
Knowing
that you and God and every other of God’s
creations are inseparable is love. Knowing that Earth is a sentient,
conscious life herself and respecting all of her life forms is love.
Realizing that no one can know others at Soul level and therefore
does not judge them, but rather does not condone an action seen as
injurious, is love.
Listening to one’s Godself is love. Living the kind of life that engenders loving self is love. Feeling joy yourself when you see it in others is love. Doing something that brings joy to another is love. Forgiveness of self and others is love. Sharing your resources with full heart is love. Doing good deeds without attaching expectations is love. Feeling peace of heart and mind is love. The quiet thrill of seeing a sunset or hearing a songbird is love, and a smile is one of the simplest and most radiating expressions of love.
W.
Somerset Maugham 1874-1965
English novelist & playwright
The
passing moment is all that we can be sure of, it is only common sense
to extract its utmost value from it.

hell of heaven.
Warren
Mitchell 1926-2015

I
knew that I did not have to buy into society’s notion that I had to
be handsome and healthy to be happy. I was in charge of my
‘spaceship’ and it was my up, my down. I could choose to see this
situation as a setback or as a starting point. I chose to begin life
again.

When I was willing to let go of what I wanted, I received what was truly mine. I’ve realized the latter is always the greater gift.
When we are happy, those around us will be happy, and in turn, those around them will also start to feel the same way. We always have to start with ourself, and the best place to start is to do what makes you feel joyful.
When you’re good to yourself, you’re actually being good to everyone around you, because when you feel good, you’ll only react well to other people.

A
free man is someone who is true to himself. Who follows his dreams
and turns them into reality. You have to put fear to one side, it
will always be there, but you have to follow your path. It’s
all possible if you put enough energy into it. A free man, to me, is
someone who tries to make his dreams come true.

your life be a beautiful work of art. Work at it always. Make it your
priority. Repeat to yourself: I have made my life a work of art.
My physical body may be less efficient and less beautiful in old age. But God has given me an enormous compensation: my mind is richer my Soul is broader and my wisdom is at a peak. I am so happy with the riches of my advance peak age that contrary to Faust, I would not wish to return to youth.
Old age is not a diminution.. It is a peak experience.
Open your eyes, mind and heart to the astonishing miracles of life, to the beauty surrounding you, to the uniqueness of your being, to the wonders you can achieve.
Robert
Muller 1923-2010
Belgian author & assistant

Put
a lot of God and Divinity into everything you do.
Remain innocent and naive like a child during all your life. Only the innocent, loving acceptance of the greatness of Creation will guide you well.
Switch on and keep on in yourself the cheerful buttons.. Those marked Joy, Laughter, Happiness, Love, Passion for Life, Gratitude for Life.
There is no false hope.. Any hope helps.
Think
with your heart.
See with your heart.
Hear with your heart.
Feel with
your heart.
Act with your heart.
Speak with your heart.
For love is the highest, most powerful, durable human capacity.

To
forgive is the highest, most beautiful form of love. In return you
will receive untold peace and happiness.
To those who see this world as part of God’s Creation, death will come naturally and gently.
Treat every moment of your life with Divine respect. Love passionately your God-given miraculous life.

Walk
through life lightly, like an angel. Do not be too heavy, too Earth

We just have to remember that we are one people and this is one world.

We
must walk with utmost care on our beautiful planet, the result of
such a long, miraculous, cosmic journey. We must love this marvellous
jewel in the Universe with all our mind, heart and Soul and make it a
Paradise.
When I was a child, I spoke like a child. When I was an adult, I no longer spoke like a child. When I became old and wise, I spoke again like a child. I wish I had spoken all my life like a child.
When it comes to peace, justice, love, honesty and all that is good for the human race on this God-given planet, never give up, never give up, never give up.
Wherever you are, whatever you do, if you love the world, you will serve the world.

Whatever you do in life, do the very best you can, with both your heart and mind.

Be
the kind of person you would like to be with. Some people come into
our lives, make footprints on our hearts and we are never the same.
Live is giving, not getting.
We cannot tell what may happen to us in the strange medley of life. But we can decide what happens in us - how we take it, what we do with it - and that is what really counts in the end.

As for the right way, the correct way
and the only way..
It does not exist.

Many
people can’t stand the thought of aging, but it’s the
crystallized thought patterns and inflexible mind-sets that age
people before their time. You can break through and challenge your

It
is impossible to bless and judge at the same time. So hold constantly
as a deep, hallowed, intoned thought, that desire to bless. For truly
then shall you become a peacemaker. And one day you shall everywhere
behold the very face of God.
On passing people in the street, on the bus, in places of work and play.. Bless them. The peace of your Blessing will accompany them on their way and the aura of its gentle fragrance will be a light to their path.
The minute anyone expresses the least aggression or unkindness to you, respond with a Blessing. Bless them totally, sincerely, joyfully. For such Blessings are a shield which protects you from the ignorance of their misdeed and deflects the arrow that was aimed at you.

The
door may not be open, but that doesn’t mean it’s closed. The door
may be closed, but that doesn’t mean it’s locked. The door may be
locked, but that doesn’t mean forever. Some doors are easier to
open than others, while others are simply worth the effort to open.
The secret to opening any door lies in not giving up.
