Listed below are some quotes that make my life worthwhile:
Dare to be different!
There is no substitute for diligence
If you are not trying, you are dying...
Strive to WIN
It is better to keep your mouth shut
and be thought of as a fool,
than to open it
and remove all doubts.
When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you are trudging seems all uphill,
When the funds are low, and the debts are high,
When you want to smile, but have to sigh,
When care's pressing you down a bit,
Rest, if you must, DON'T YOU QUIT!
There's a voice that won't let you rest
until you've worked a little harder,
reached a little further,
and proved that the things that make you different
are the things that make you stronger...
There's a voice saying "Don't let up".
Your life holds unlimited potential
and wonderful dreams.
You have the ability
to attain whatever you seek;
within you is every potential
you can imagine.
Always aim higher than
you believe you can reach.
So often, you'll discover
that when your talents
are set free
by your imagination,
you can achieve any goal.
If people offer their
help or wisdom
as you go through life,
accept it gratefully.
You can learn much from those
who have gone before you.
But never be afraid or hesitant
to step off the accepted path
and head off in your own direction
if your heart tells you
that it's the right way for you.
Always believe that you will
ultimately succeed
at whatever you do,
and never forget the value
of persistence, discipline,
and determination.
You are meant to be
whatever you dream
of becoming.
--- Edmund O' Neils
When the way comes to an end, then change-
having changed, you pass through.
--- I Ching
Until you make peace with who you are,
you'll never be content
with what you have.
--- Doris Mortman
No great work can be done
without sacrifice.
--- Swami Vivekananda

ON FRIENDSHIP
If he can speak his mind.
And know when to shut up.
If he can pat your back.
And kick your butt.
If he can share
a hearty meal;
a good joke; a sunset.
If he acts neither big.
Nor small.
But just medium.
And lets you be you.
Then he is the answer to your needs.
There is a difference between having a friend
and HAVING A FRIEND.
Friends aren't blind to your faults
but they can see beyond them.
A letter from a friend can make your day.
A friend will laugh at your jokes no matter
how many times you repeat them.
A friend remembers the way you were, but
won't insist you stay that way.
A friend is the only person who can make
you laugh after a broken romance.
Friends know that there is no such thing as constructive criticism.
Friends aren't interested in your excuses,
they're interested in you.
When you ask a friend where he wants to go to dinner...
he'll choose your favorite restaurant.
A friend knows where your panic button is,
but never pushes it.
Friends can tell the truth without hurting you.
Friends take very good care of your hopes and dreams.
A friend remembers your pet peeves...
your favorite colors... the songs you like.
And ignores the times you forgot to remember his/her's.
A vacation with a friend is not only more fun, but also less money.
Friends can turn arguments into laughter.
When you have doubts about yourselves, call your friends,
because they'll have confidence in you.
Nothing hurts as much as hurting your friend...
nothing heals as much as being forgiven by your friend.
When your friend goes away, part of your history goes with him
Friends are the best part of ourselves.
So, count your age by friends, not by years.
Remember to always say what you mean. If you love someone, tell
them. Don't be afraid to express yourself. Reach out and tell someone
what they mean to you. Because when you decide that it is the right
time, it might be too late. Seize the day. Never have regrets. And most
importantly, stay close to your friends and family, for they have helped
make you the person that you are today.
Do not undermine your worth
by comparing yourself with others.
It is because we are different
that each of us is special.
Do not set your goals
by what other people deem important.
Only you know
what is best for you.
Do not take for granted
the things closest to your heart.
Cling to them as you would your life,
for without them,
life is meaningless.
Do not let your life
slip through your fingers
by living in the past
nor for the future.
By living your life one day at a time,
you live all the days of your life.
Do not give up
when you still have something to give.
Nothing is really over
until the moment you stop trying.
It is a fragile thread
that binds us to each other.
Do not be afraid to encounter risks.
It is by taking chances
that we learn how to be brave.
Do not shut love out of your life
by saying it is impossible to find.
The quickest way to receive love
is to give love;
The fastest way to lose love
is to hold it too tightly.
Do not dismiss your dreams.
To be without dreams
is to be without hope;
To be without hope
is to be without purpose.
Do not run through life
so fast that you forget
not only where you have been,
but also where you are going.
Life is not a race,
but a journey
to be savored
each step of the way.
