You can preach a better sermon with your life than with your lips.

Oliver Goldsmith

It took me a long time not to judge myself through someone else’s eyes.

Sally Field

This is a phenomenal quote. So many of us, myself include have been like a ping pong ball, batted back and forth; so and so approves of me — I’M OK!!!   Another person disapproves of me — I’M NOT OK!!!  To not judge yourself through the eyes of others with all of their prejudices, misconceptions, distortions and agendas is a very healing thing to do!  Thank you Sally!

If you look for truth, you may find comfort in the end; if you look for comfort you will not get either comfort or truth only soft soap and wishful thinking to begin, and in the end, despair.

C.S. Lewis

There are many things in life that will catch your eye, but only a few will catch your heart…pursue those.

Michael Nolan

If you will call your troubles experiences, and remember that every experience develops some latent force within you, you will grow vigorous and happy, however adverse your circumstances may seem to be.

John Heywood

Each man is a hero and an oracle to somebody.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

We tend to think of heroes as larger than life.  Yet in reality, there are heroes all around us:  The single mom struggling to make a living and raise children, a father working an unpleasant job to provide for a family, anyone who works to overcome a catastrophe in their own life or someone who strives to make a difference whther it is the major issues that face mankind or a small act of kindness to a stranger.  Each of us has the ability to use our special gifts to make a difference in somebody’s life.

Successful people aren’t born that way. They become successful by establishing the habit of doing things unsuccessful people don’t like to do. The successful people don’t always like these things themselves; they just get on and do them.
