quotes i [try to] live by

"If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other." -Mother Teresa

"Everything is only for a day, both that which remembers and that which is remembered. Observe constantly that all things take place by change, and accustom thyself to consider that the nature of the universe loves nothing so much as to change things which are and to make new things like them. For everything that exists is in a manner the seed of that which will be." -Marcus Aurelius

"God sells us all things at the price of the labor." -Leonardo da Vinci

"And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should." -Desiderata

"Grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled, as to console; to be understood, as to understand; to be loved, as to love; for it is in giving that we receive, it is in pardoning that we are pardoned..." -St. Francis

"There are two ways to live: you can live as if nothing is a miracle; you can live as if everything is a miracle." -Einstein

"The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack of will." -Vince Lombardi

"The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes." -Marcel Proust
