Have faith in your abilities! Without a humble but reasonable confidence in your own powers you cannot be successful or happy." - Norman Vincent Peale Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it. - Buddha One must marry one's feelings to one's beliefs and ideas.

Emotion Quotes
"One can overcome the forces of negative emotions, like anger and hatred, by cultivating their counter-forces, like love and compassion." -Dalai Lama Just as your car runs more smoothly and requires less energy to go faster and farther when the wheels are in perfect alignment, you perform better when your thoughts, feelings, emotions, goals, and values are in balance. - Brian Tracy Following your feelings will lead you to their source.

We know too much and feel too little. At least, we feel too little of those creative emotions from which a good life springs. - Bertrand Russell Let's not forget that the little emotions are the great captains of our lives and we obey them without realizing it. - Vincent Van Gogh "In the last decade or so, science has discovered a tremendous amount about the role emotions play in our lives.

To the cognition of the brain must be added the experience of the soul. - Arnold Bennett The degree of one's emotions varies inversely with one's knowledge of the facts. -Bertrand Russell To increase your effectiveness, make your emotions subordinate to your commitments - Brian Koslow Emotion always has its roots in the unconscious and manifests itself in the body. - Irene Claremont de Castillejo Compelling reason will never convince blinding emotion. - Richard Bach Emotional Literacy means being able to recognise what you are feeling, so that it doesn't interfere with thinking. It becomes another dimension to draw upon when making decisions or encountering situations. Emotional expression by contrast can mean being driven by emotions, so that it isn't possible to think. These two things are often confused, because we are still uncomfortable with the idea of the validity of feelings. Susie Orbach Take control of your consistent emotions and begin to consciously and deliberately reshape your daily experience of life. - Anthony Robbins There can be no transforming of darkness into light and of apathy into movement without emotion. - Carl Jung
Family: A social unit where the father is concerned with parking space, the children with outer space, and the mother with closet space. -Evan Esar Govern a family as you would cook a small fish - very gently. - Chinese Proverb Family life is too intimate to be preserved by the spirit of justice. It can be sustained by a spirit of love which goes beyond justice. -Reinhold Niebuhr You don't choose your family. They are God's gift to you, as you are to them. -Desmond Tutu The family is the corner stone of our society. More than any other force it shapes the attitude, the hopes, the ambitions, and the values of the child. And when the family collapses it is the children that are usually damaged. When it happens on a massive scale the community itself is crippled. So, unless we work to strengthen the family, to create conditions under which most parents will stay together, all the rest schools, playgrounds, and public assitance, and private concern will never be enough.-Lyndon Baines Johnson A man travels the world over in search of what he needs, and returns home to find it. - George Moore The great gift of family life is to be intimately acquainted with people you might never even introduce yourself to, had life not done it for you. -Kendall Hailey A happy family is but an earlier heaven. -John Bowring Each day of our lives we make deposits in the memory banks of our children. -Charles R. Swindoll I can get up in the morning and look myself in the mirror and my family can look at me too and that's all that matters. - Lance Armstrong

The bond that links your true family is not one of blood, but of respect and joy in each other's life. -Richard Bach He who is taught to live upon little owes more to his father's wisdom than he who has a great deal left him does to his father's care. -William Penn To put the world right in order, we must first put the nation in order; to put the nation in order, we must first put the family in order; to put the family in order, we must first cultivate our personal life; we must first set our hearts right. - Confucius The lack of emotional security of our American young people is due, I believe, to their isolation from the larger family unit. No two people - no mere father and mother - as I have often said, are enough to provide emotional security for a child. He needs to feel himself one in a world of kinfolk, persons of variety in age and temperament, and yet allied to himself by an indissoluble bond which he cannot break if he could, for nature has welded him into it before he was born. -Pearl S. Buck Nothing is so soothing to our self-esteem as to find our bad traits in our forebears.

Bossard Peace, like charity, begins at home. -Franklin D. Roosevelt Your family and your love must be cultivated like a garden. Time, effort, and imagination must be summoned constantly to keep any relationship flourishing and growing. -Jim Rohn

No matter what you've done for yourself or for humanity, if you can't look back on having given love and attention to your own family, what have you really accomplished? -Lee Iacocca There is something frightful in the way in which not only characteristic qualities, but particular manifestations of them, are repeated from generation to generation. - Oliver Wendell Holmes A child tells in the street what its father and mother say at home. -The Talmud The family is one of nature's masterpieces. - George Santayana Nobody's family can hang out the sign, "Nothing the matter here." -Chinese proverb Science has established two facts meaningful for human welfare: first, the foundation of the structure of human personality is laid down in early childhood; and second, the chief engineer in charge of this construction is the family. - Meyer Francis Nimkoff What greater thing is there for human souls than to feel that they are joined for life - to be with each other in silent unspeakable memories. -George Eliot To know after absence the familiar street and road and village and house is to know again the satisfaction of home. -Hal Borland No success in public life can compensate for failure in the home. -Benjamin Disrali To maintain a joyful family requires much from both the parents and the children. Each member of the family has to become, in a special way, the servant of others. -Pope John Paul II The family is the nucleus of civilization. -Ariel and Will Durant

"Instead, be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you." -Ephesians 4:32 The Bible Forgiveness is a funny thing. It warms the heart and cools the sting. -William Arthur Ward To forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover that the prisoner was you. -Lewis B.

The past is for inspiration, not imitation, for continuation, not repetition. -Israel Zangwill I can forgive, but I cannot forget, is only another way of saying, I will not forgive. Forgiveness ought to be like a cancelled note, torn in two, and burned up, so that it never can be shown against one. -Henry Ward Beecher The remarkable thing is that we really love our neighbor as ourselves: we do unto others as we do unto ourselves. We hate others when we hate ourselves. We are tolerant toward others when we tolerate ourselves. We forgive others when we forgive ourselves. We are prone to sacrifice others when we are ready to sacrifice ourselves. -Eric Hoffer No snowflake in an avalanche ever feels responsible. -Voltaire He who forgiveth, and is reconciled unto his enemy, shall receive his reward from God; for he loveth not the unjust doers. -The Koran When you forgive, you in no way change the past - but you sure do change the future. -Bernard Meltzer Forgiveness is the fragrance the violet sheds on the heel that has crushed it. -Mark Twain Anger makes you smaller, while forgiveness forces you to grow beyond what you were. -Cherie Carter-Scott Forgiveness is almost a selfish act because of its immense benefits to the one who forgives. -Lawana Blackwell When you hold resentment toward another, you are bound to that person or condition by an emotional link that is stronger than steel. Forgiveness is the only way to dissolve that link and get free. -Catherine Ponder In the Bible it says they asked Jesus how many times you should forgive, and he said 70 times 7.

Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong. -Mahatma Gandhi If you haven't forgiven yourself something, how can you forgive others? -Dolores Huerta Forgiveness is not an emotion, it's a decision. -Randall Worley Once a woman has forgiven her man, she must not reheat his sins for breakfast. -Marlene Dietrich To err is human; to forgive, infrequent. -Franklin P.

Gratitude Quotes
"At times our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another person. Each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flame within us." -Albert Schweitzer "Life without thankfulness is devoid of love and passion. Hope without thankfulness is lacking in fine perception. Faith without thankfulness lacks strength and fortitude.

Nothing that is done for you is a matter of course. Everything originates in a will for the good, which is directed at you. Train yourself never to put off the word or action for the expression of gratitude. -Albert Schweitzer Let's be grateful for those who give us happiness; they are the charming gardeners who make our soul bloom. -Marcel Proust
Saying thank you is more than good manners. It is good spirituality. -Alfred Painter Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; -The Bible Phil 4:6 NKJV

Happiness comes of the capacity to feel deeply, to enjoy simply, to think freely, to risk life, to be needed. -Storm Jameson The Grand essentials of happiness are: something to do, something to love, and something to hope for. -Allan K. Chalmers The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quiet, alone with the heavens, nature and God. Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be and that God wishes to see people happy, amidst the simple beauty of nature. -Anne Frank Action may not always bring happiness, but there is no happiness without action. -Benjamin Disraeli In the path of our happiness shall we find the learning for which we have chosen this lifetime. -Richard Bach It is neither wealth nor splendor; but tranquility and occupation which give happiness. -Thomas Jefferson Happiness comes when your work and words are of benefit to yourself and others. -Buddha Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see the shadows. -Helen Keller

Happiness is the meaning and the purpose of life, the whole aim and end of human existence. -Aristotle Happiness, that grand mistress of the ceremonies in the dance of life, impels us through all its mazes and meanderings, but leads none of us by the same route. -Charles Caleb Colton "The highest happiness of man . . . is to have probed what is knowable and quietly to revere what is unknowable." -Johann Wolfgang von Goethe "Family life is the source of the greatest human happiness. This happiness is the simplest and least costly kind, and it cannot be purchased with money.

Concerning all acts of initiative there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and endless plans: That the moment one definitely commits oneself, then providence moves, too.

The greatest success stories were created by people who recognized a problem and turned it into an opportunity." -Joseph Sugarman "The most essential factor is persistence, the determination never to allow your energy or enthusiasm to be dampened by the discouragement that must inevitably come." -James Whitcomb Riley "There's no easy path to glory. There is no road to fame. Life, however we may view it, Is no simple parlor game; But its prizes call for fighting, For endurance and for grit; For a rugged disposition that will not quit." -Navy Seal Masterchief "Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail." -Ralph Waldo Emerson "Would you like me to give you a formula for...success? It's quite simple, really. Double your rate of failure... You're thinking of failure as the enemy of success. But it isn't at all...You can be discouraged by failure - or you can learn from it. So go ahead and make mistakes. Make all you can. Because, remember that's where you'll find success. On the far side of failure." -Thomas J. Watson, Sr "People become really quite remarkable when they start thinking that they can do things. When they believe in themselves they have the first secret of success." Norman Vincent Peale
Perseverance Quotes
If we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleasant; if we did not sometimes taste of adversity, prosperity would not be so welcome. -Anne Bradstreet There is nothing in life so difficult that it cannot be overcome.

You can survive all the great storms in your life. -Dr. Norman Vincent Peale Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark, in the hopeless swamps of the approximate, the notquite, the not-yet, the not-at-all.

The world you desired can be won. It exists, it is real, it is possible, it is yours. -Ayn Rand "When you get into a tight place and everything goes against you, till it seems as though you could not hang on a minute longer, never give up then, for it is just the place and time that the tide will turn." -Harriet Beecher Stowe "A difficult time can be more readily endured if we retain the conviction that our existence holds a purpose - a cause to pursue, a person to love, a goal to achieve." -John Maxwell Do the thing you fear to do and keep on doing it... that is the quickest and surest way ever yet discovered to conquer fear. -Dale Carnegie You have within you right now, everything you need to deal with whatever the world can throw at you. -Brian Tracy Become a possibilitarian.

Potential Quotes

"The most common commodity in this country is unrealized potential." -Calvin Coolidge Humanity has only scratched the surface of its real potential. -Peace Pilgrim The potential of the average person is like a huge ocean unsailed, a new continent unexplored, a world of possibilities waiting to be released and channeled toward some great good. -Brian Tracy The only way to discover the limits of the possible is to go beyond them into the impossible. -Arthur C Clarke "Who are we?

We can do things we don't even dream we can do. We all have possibilities we don't know about. We can do things we don't even dream we can do. We all have possibilities we don't know about. We can do things we don't even dream we can do. -Dale Carnegie Questions provide the key to unlocking our unlimited potential. -Anthony Robbins Your past is not your potential. In any hour you can choose to liberate the future. -Marilyn Ferguson Most people live, whether physically, intellectually or morally, in a very restricted circle of their potential being. They make very small use of their possible consciousness, and of their soul's resources in general, much like a man who, out of his whole bodily organism, should get into a habit of using and moving only his little finger. -William James Our aspirations are our possibilities. -Robert Browning The greatest waste in the world is the difference between what we are and what we could become. -Ben Herbster Whatever your discipline, become a student of excellence in all things.

The good news is that you don't know how great you can be! How much you can love! What you can accomplish! And what your potential is!" -Anne Frank
Purpose Quotes

Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders.

But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it. -Buddha The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires. -William Arthur Ward The heart is wiser than the intellect. -J.G.
