You’re braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.  -Christopher Robin

We now know that memories are not fixed or frozen, like Proust’s jars of preserves in a larder, but are transformed, disassembled, reassembled, and recategorized with every act of recollection. -Oliver Sacks

There never was night that had no morn. -Dinah Maria Mulock Craik

What wisdom can you find that is greater than kindness?  -Jean Jacques Rousseau

We must let go of the life we have planned, so as to accept the one that is waiting for us. -Joseph Campbell

There is always something to do. There are hungry people to feed, naked people to clothe, sick people to comfort and make well. And while I don’t expect you to save the world, I do think it’s not asking too much for you to love those with whom you sleep, share the happiness of those whom you call friend, engage those among you who are visionary, and remove from your life those who offer you depression, despair, and disrespect. -Nikki Giovanni

Start by doing what’s necessary; then do what’s possible; and suddenly you are doing the impossible.  -Francis of Assisi
