Friedman

It’s okay to be sad. But it’s never okay to do other people wrong just because you were done wrong. We’re human. We break. We make mistakes. But don’t let pain and sadness run your life. Wake up in the morning and do what you think is right. There are moments in your life where you feel like giving up and you can’t take it anymore. It’s okay. Breathe. Inhale. Exhale. The things that show your weak side are also the same ones that make you stronger in the long run. It’s all about taking whatever life throws at you and learning from it." ~Anon

And so I must still have hope." ~Vincent Van Gogh

"Romance ... It's not a place...it's not a dream. Nor is it exclusive to the blissful relationship of a man and a woman made one in love. It is the very dance of life itself...in sunrises and sunsets, in the pulsing firefly stars in the night-sky, in the stretching of grass, the fragrance of blooming flowers flirting with the flying flowers, in the reflection of the universe in the dewdrop clinging to a leaf in the morning mist...it is in the awesome poetry of the living oneness of all in love all around us!" ~Surf Reyes

“The great events of world history are, at bottom, profoundly unimportant. In the last analysis the essential thing is the life of the individual. This alone makes history, here alone do the great transformations first take place, and the whole future, the whole history of the world, ultimately spring as a gigantic summation from these hidden sources in individuals. In our most private and most subjective lives we are not only the passive witnesses of our age, and its sufferers, but also its makers.

If you want to experience eternal illumination, put the past and the future out of your mind and remain within the present moment." ~Shams Tabrizi

He alone knows what true love is." ~Attar of Nishapur
"The people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do." ~Jack Kerouac
"The power of a compelling cause rests in the soul of its Creator, because a cause springs from the soul. It is a spiritual statement from one soul that cannot be the result of many. It comes from a deep place of knowing, some conviction that a richly imagined future could in some way, dramatically and positively, change the world." ~Lance Secretan, author “Inspirational Leadership”
"The problem with the world is that intelligent people are full of doubts, while stupid ones are full of confidence" ~Charles Bukowski
"The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man." ~George Bernard Shaw

“The world has its own ways of treating us like what we will never be, but want to be. It relinquishes its grip on our souls while lulling us with the songs of freedom and conquest of beauty.

"The world you live in is a mirror of yourself. Everything you hold to be true becomes your cage and your reality. If you perceive an imperfect world, it's because you fail to compassionately accept your own imperfections. If you find yourself condemning another, it is actually condemning some shamed part of yourself that you have not acknowledged.

“This new world hath been the asylum for the persecuted lovers of civil and religious liberty from every part of Europe.
