Some people insist that 'mediocre' is better than 'best.' They delight in clipping wings because they themselves can't fly. They despise brains because they have none.
Grace is what picks me up and lifts my wings high above and I fly! Grace always conquers! Be graceful in everything; in anger, in sadness, in joy, in kindness, in unkindness, retain grace with you!
Anything that you learn becomes your wealth, a wealth that cannot be taken away from you; whether you learn it in a building called school or in the school of life. To learn something new is a timeless pleasure and a valuable treasure. And not all things that you learn are taught to you, but many things that you learn you realize you have taught yourself.
Live authentically. Why would you continue to compromise something that's beautiful to create something that is fake?
Leaders are limited by their vision rather than by their abilities.
You will have to make up for the smallness of your size by your courage and selfless devotion to duty, for it is not life that matters, but the courage, fortitude and determination you bring to it.

It doesn't matter who you are, or where you come from, or how much money you've got in your pocket. You have your own destiny and your own life ahead of you.
Learn as if you were not reaching your goal and as though you were scared of missing it
Hope like that, as I thought before, doesn’t make you a weak person. It’s hopelessness that makes you weak. Hope makes you stronger, because it brings with it a sense of reason. Not a reason for how or why they were taken from you, but a reason for you to live. Because it’s a maybe. A ‘maybe someday things won’t always be this shit.’ And that ‘maybe’ immediately makes the shittiness better.
- Cecelia Ahern
The Book of Tomorrow
Insanity is doing the same thing, over and over again, but expecting different results.
- Narcotics Anonymous
All God does is watch us and kill us when we get boring. We must never, ever be boring.
Some people have lives; some people have music.
Wisdom comes from experience. Experience is often a result of lack of wisdom.
I can't decide whether I'm a good girl wrapped up in a bad girl, or if I'm a bad girl wrapped up in a good girl. And that's how I know I'm a woman!
Cynics are simply thwarted romantics.
All the world's a stage and most of us are desperately unrehearsed.
- Seán O'Casey
That's not a bad word...hate and war are bad words, but fuck isn't.
Tried living in the real world instead of a shell, but I was bored before I even began.
I hate when people say 'I see'. It doesn't mean anything and I think it's hostile. Whenever anyone tells me 'I see' I think they're really saying 'Fuck you'.
