I shall start us off with a few of mine...


'If life gives you mouldy veg, make compost and grow something beautiful.' ...

'Simplify, simplify'. ...Henry David Thoreau

'Go confidently in the direction of your dreams! Live the life you've imagined. As you simplify your life, the laws of the universe will be simpler.' ...H D Thoreau.

'The important thing is to not stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery every day. Never lose a holy curiosity.' ...Albert Einstein.

.'A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.' ...Douglas Adams

'Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.' ...Douglas Adams


'If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost, that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them.'...H D Thoreau

Have posted this a few times on here before, but...

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
