Amazing quotes:
1. "Make a radical change in your lifestyle and begin to boldly do things which you may previously never have thought of doing, or been too hesitant to attempt. So many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and conservation, all of which may appear to give one peace of mind, but in reality nothing is more damaging to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future. The very basic core of a man’s living spirit is his passion for adventure. The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun. If you want to get more out of life, you must lose your inclination for monotonous security and adopt a helter-skelter style of life that will at first appear to you to be crazy. But once you become accustomed to such a life you will see its full meaning and its incredible beauty." - Jon Krakauer, Into the Wild.
2. Worry less.
3. "Strive for perfection in everything you do. Take the best that exists and make it better. When it does not exist, design it." - Sir Henry Royce
4. "Don’t talk unless you can improve the silence." - Jorge Luis Borges
5. "Life is a storm. You will bask in the sunlight one moment, be shattered on the rocks the next. What makes you a man is what you do when that storm comes. You must look into that storm and shout “Do your worst, for I will do mine!” Then the fates will know you as we know you." - The Count of Monte Cristo
6. "Each second we live is a new and unique moment of the universe, a moment that will never be again. And what do we teach our children? We teach them that two and two make four, and that Paris is the capital of France. When will we also teach them what they are? We should say to each of them: Do you know what you are? You are a marvel. You are unique. In all the years that have passed, there has never been another child like you. Your legs, your arms, your clever fingers, the way you move. You may become a Shakespeare, a Michelangelo, a Beethoven. You have the capacity for anything. Yes, you are a marvel. And when you grow up, can you then harm another who is, like you, a marvel? You must work, we must all work, to make the world worthy of its children." - Pablo Picasso
7. "Somewhere out there, there is someone who is meant to be the love of your life, Your best friend, your soulmate the one you can tell your dreams too, he’ll smile at you when you tell him, but he will never laugh at your heart. he’ll brush the hair out of your eyes & send you flowers when you least expect it. he’ll call you to tell you goodnight right before you go to bed or just because hes thinking about you. he’ll be bursting to talk to you each morning just to hear the sound of your voice. he’ll look into your eyes and tell you that you are the most beautiful girl hes ever seen & for the first time your life, you’ll actually believe it".
8. Too often we are scared. Scared of what we might not be able to do. Scared of what people might think if we tried. We let fears stand in the way of our hopes. We say no when we want to say yes. We sit quietly when we want to scream. And we shout with the others, when we should keep our mouths shut. Why? After all, we do only go around once. There’s really no time to be afraid. Sometimes, you just have to stop thinking so much. If it feels right, it probably is. Just go with it.
9. In your life you meet many people. Some you never think about again. Some you wonder what happened to them. There are some that you wonder if they ever think about you, and then there are some you wish you never had to think about again… but you do.
10. Pain, you just have to ride it out, hope it goes away on its own, hope the wound that caused it heals. There are no solutions, no easy answers, you just breath deep and wait for it to subside. Most of the time pain can be managed but sometimes the pain gets you where you least expect it. Hits way below the belt and doesn’t let up. Pain, you just have to fight through, because the truth is you can’t outrun it and life always makes more.
