    “Thinking is the hardest work there is, which is probably the reason so few engage in it.” ~ Henry Ford

      “The only real mistake is the one from which we learn nothing.” ~ Henry Ford

        “My best friend is the one who brings out the best in me.” ~ Henry Ford

          “Whether you think you can, or you think you can’t – you’re right.” ~ Henry Ford

            “All Fords are exactly alike, but no two men are just alike. Every new life is a new thing under the sun; there has never been anything just like it before, never will be again. A young man ought to get that idea about himself; he should look for the single spark of individuality that makes him different from other folks, and develop that for all he is worth. Society and schools may try to iron it out of him; their tendency is to put it all in the same mold, but I say don’t let that spark be lost; it is your only real claim to importance.” ~ Henry Ford

              “I have come to believe that coming true is not the only purpose of a dream. Its most important purpose is to get us in touch with where dreams come from, where passion comes from, where happiness comes from.” ~ Lisa Bu

                “Learning is not attained by chance, it must be sought for with ardor and attended to with diligence.” ~ Abigail Adams

                  “The best relationships in our lives are the best not because they have been the happiest ones, they are that way because they have stayed strong through the most tormentful of storms.” ~ Pandora Poikilos

                    “Unlike physical progress, which is subject to natural restrictions, the qualities of the mind can be developed limitlessly.” ~ Dalai Lama

                      “It’s more fun to talk with someone who doesn’t use long difficult words but rather short easy words like ‘What about lunch?'” ~ Winnie-the-Pooh

                        “As human beings, our greatness lies not so much in being able to remake the world – that is the myth of the atomic age – as in being able to remake ourselves.” ~ Mahatma Gandhi

                          “Try as much as possible to be wholly alive, with all your might, and when you laugh, laugh like hell and when you get angry, get good and angry. Try to be alive. You will be dead soon enough.” ~ William Saroyan

                            “Only when the last tree has died and the last river has been poisoned and the last fish been caught will we realize we cannot eat money.” ~ Indian Proverb

                              “Faith is daring to put your dream to the test. It is better to try to do something and fail than to try to do nothing and succeed.” ~ Robert H. Schuller

                                “We are going to die, and that makes us the lucky ones. Most people are never going to die because they are never going to be born. The potential people who could have been here in my place but who will in fact never see the light of day outnumber the sand grains of Arabia. Certainly those unborn ghosts include greater poets than Keats, scientists greater than Newton. We know this because the set of possible people allowed by our DNA so massively exceeds the set of actual people. In the teeth of these stupefying odds it is you and I, in our ordinariness, that are here.” ~ Richard Dawkins

                                  “Consider how many people had to be involved for a particular thought to be formed. Every thought you have involves everyone you have ever known: your teachers, your siblings, your parents, your parents’ parents, your parents’ teachers, and on and on. Without this participation from the whole, the thought wouldn’t have come out the way it did. It wouldn’t have the ground from which to form. You wouldn’t even have the language to think with.  Everything happens more out of a ‘we’ than a ‘me.’ Everything in the universe is involved with everything that happens. If everything in the universe participates in scratching your nose or having a thought or having a feeling, can you really call these experiences ‘yours?’” ~  Nirmala

                                    “How far you go in life depends on your being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving and tolerant of the weak and strong. Because someday in your life you will have been all of these.” ~ George Washington Carver

                                      “Quitting is leading too.” ~ Nelson Mandela

                                        “We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, handsome, talented and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be?” ~ Nelson Mandela

                                          “As I have said, the first thing is to be honest with yourself. You can never have an impact on society if you have not changed yourself… Great peacemakers are all people of integrity, of honesty, but humility.” ~ Nelson Mandela
