Only the person who risks is truly free
The essence of life is to care. The beauty of life is to give.
To the optimist all doors have handles and hinges; to the pessimist, all doors have locks and latches.
Do you depend on others for motivation - or can you motivate yourself?
As the valley gives height to the mountain, so can sorrow give meaning to pleasure; as the well is the source of the fountain, deep adversity can be a treasure.
Optimism is a seed sown in the soil of faith; pessimism is a seed hoarded in the vault of doubt.
