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
“It is never too late to be what
you might have been.” -George Eliot
“Weakness of attitude becomes weakness of

“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
