Inspired Quotations
Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to
draw back. Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one
elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid
plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves
too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have
occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's
favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance,
which no man could have dreamed would have come his way. Whatever you can do, or
dream you can do, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it. Begin
it now.
WH Murray
Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent
one. Albert Einstein
All things share the same breath - the beast, the tree, the man ... the air
shares its spirit with all the life it supports. Humankind has not woven the
web of life. We are but one thread within it. Whatever we do to the web, we
do to ourselves. All things are bound together. All things connect. Man does
not weave this web of life. He is merely a strand of it. Whatever he does to
the web, he does to himself.
Chief Seattle, 1854
What is life? It is the flash of a firefly in the night. It is the breath of
a buffalo in the wintertime. It is the little shadow which runs across the
grass and loses itself in the sunset. Our land is more valuable than money.
It will last forever. It will not even perish by the flames of fire. As long
as the sun shines and the waters flow, this land will be here to give life
to men and animals. We cannot sell the lives of men and animals. It was put
here by the Great Spirit and we cannot sell it because it does not belong to
us.
