When you do nothing you feel overwhelmed and powerless. But when you get involved you feel the sense of hope and accomplishment that comes from knowing you are working to make things better.

Open your eyes to the beauty around you, open your mind to the wonders of life, open your heart to those who love you, and always be true to yourself.

---

Never make someone a priority when all you are to them is an option.

---

Success is liking yourself, liking what you do, and liking how you do it.

---

Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better.

---

You may shoot me with your words, you may cut me with your eyes, you may kill me with your hatefulness, but still, like air, I'll rise!

---

Its not where your dreams take you, its where you take your dreams.

---

When you know you are of worth, you don't have to raise your voice, you don't have to become rude, you don't have to become vulgar; you just are. And you are like the sky is, as the air is, the same way water is wet. It doesn't have to protest.

---

I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.

---

If you must look back, do so forgivingly. If you will look forward, do so prayerfully. But the wisest course would be to be present in the present gratefully.
