Words that Inspire

 

 

To laugh is to risk appearing the fool.

            To weep is to risk appearing sentimental.

            To reach for another is to risk involvement.

            To expose your ideas, your dreams, before a crowd, is to risk their loss.

            To love is to risk not being loved in return.

            To live is to risk dying.

            To believe is to risk failure.

But risks must be taken, because the greatest hazard in life is to risk

            nothing.

            The people who risk nothing do nothing, have nothing, are nothing.

            They may avoid suffering and sorrow, but they

                        Cannot learn, feel, change, grow, love, live.

            Chained by their attitudes, they are slaves;

            They have forfeited their freedom.

            Only a person who risks is free.”     -Unknown

 

 

“The ambitious climb high and perilous stairs, and never care how to come down,

the desire of rising hath swallowed up their fear of the fall.”    -Thomas Adams

 

“Only those who will risk going too far

can possibly find out how far one can go.”   -T.S.  Eliot

 

 

Don’t Quit

 

When people pull you down as they often will,

When the battle you’re fighting is all uphill

When the funds are low and the debts are high,

When you’re laughing, although you’d rather cry

When you discover yourself slowing down a bit,

Stop and take a deep breath, but don't you quit

 

Although you've worked so hard just to get this far,

You must steady your pace, just to stay where you are

You'll need twice the effort to make your way,

Tomorrow won't come, until you've conquered today

And if you discover yourself slowing down a bit,

Stop and rest if you must, but don't you quit

 

Always do the best that you can possibly do,

Treasure true friends who are far and few

Never give up, whatever the burden you bear,

Just one more stop might get you there

Often the battle that is proceeding slow,

Will conclude abruptly, when dealt another blow

 

Success is the belief that you cannot fail,

Use diligence and determination to set your sail

When the weather is stormy and the waters are tough,

In the moment of peril the strong get tough

Whenever life presses you down a bit,

Stand up and shout, "I will not quit!”

                                                                                             -Mychal Wynn

“Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new.”  -Einstein

“Never let yesterday's disappointments overshadow tomorrow's dreams.”   -Unknown

“Happiness is like a perfume. You can't spray some without getting
      a few drops on yourself.”   -Coco Chanel
