"When I had journeyed half of our life's way,
I found myself within a shadowed forest,
for I had lost the path that does not stray.
Ah, it was hard to speak of what it was,
that savage forest, so dense and difficult,
which even in recall renews my fear:
so bitter- death is hardly more severe!
But to retell the good discovered there,
I'll also tell of other things I saw."

-Dante, Inferno, Canto I

A visitor to Dutch physicist Niels Bohr's country cottage asked him about
a horseshoe nailed above the front door. "Surely, Professor Bohr,
you do not really believe that a horseshoe above the entrance
to a home brings good luck?"
"No", answered Bohr, "I certainly don't believe in this superstition.
But you know," he added, "they say it brings you luck whether you believe
in it or not."

Be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore be at peace with god, whatever you conceive him to be, and whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul. With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.

Max Ehrmann

“I’ve got the Christ consciousness, I’ve got Lithuanian blood, and I’ve got the American dream. All of those things I’m taking with me into the fight.”

"All the scars on my body, all the bumps and bruises, all the muscles - that is a story of everything I have done. And it's not just my story. My ancestors who came before me gave me this vessel to sculpt and mold."

I’m not sure who said it, but my favorite quote of all time is:

“People who are really, really good at something started by being very, very bad at that thing.”

Never give up. Keep practicing.

***

Another one of my favorite quotes is by the character Locke in the show Lost after becoming handicapped. It’s simple, but elegant and he repeats it often throughout the series whenever people try to second guess him.

“Don’t tell me what I can’t do.”

Never let anyone else tell you what YOU are capable of doing.

***

And lastly, one by Steve Jobs.

“People don’t know what they want, until you show it to them.”

From a business and entrepreneurial perspective this is very true. Sometimes people really don’t know what solution or answer they’re looking for, until you put it right in front of them.

I like this one by the fox in the book The Little Prince: "It is only with the heart that one can see rightly, what is essential is invisible to the eye." Several other good ones in that book!

Story yes, quotes, not sure. Either way it is a beautiful book. A story about unconditional love. And that is how you truly free yourself. Through unconditional love.

If you've read the book, a lot of the lines of the story function as tragic quotes, the last one is a bittersweet line. Very simplistic quotes, imo, all of them.

"If everything you try works, you aren't trying hard enough" -- Gordon Moore. Maybe not inspiring, but it's my favorite quote about how failure isn't actually a bad thing, but rather a sign that you're working outside your comfort zone, which is good.

"If I had my life to live over.. Id relax.. I would take fewer things seriously. I would take more chances. I would climb more mountains and swim more rivers. Id start barefoot earlier in the spring and stay that way later in the fall. I would go to more dances. I would ride more merry-go rounds. I would pick more daisies."

Nadine Stair 86 years old

“Do you know what you are?
You are a manuscript oƒ a divine letter.
You are a mirror reflecting a beautiful face.
This universe is not outside of you.
Look inside yourself;
everything that you want,
you are already that.”

Rumi
