LIFE/LIVING

“I don't want to get to the end of my life and find that I just lived the length of it. I want to live the width of it as well.” -Diane Ackerman

“I think the purpose of life is to be useful, to be responsible, to be honorable, to be compassionate.  It is, after all, to matter: to count, to stand for something, to have made some difference that you lived at all.” -Leo C. Rosten

“Not a day passes over this earth but men and women of note do great deeds, speak great words and suffer noble sorrows.” -Charles Reed

"The difference between great people and everyone else is that great people create their lives actively, while everyone else is created by their lives, passively waiting to see where life takes them next.

DECISIONS

The longer I live, the more deeply I’m convinced that the difference between the successful person and the failure, between the strong and weak, is a decision.

Willie E. Gary


A bad decision is when you know what to do and you don’t do it.
