Default 101 quotes that will change your life

OK ill start off. you guys add yours

101 .
"A human being is a part of a whole, called by us _universe_, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest... a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty"

"All the resources you will ever want or need are at your fingertips. All
you have to do is identify what you want to do with it, and then practice
the feeling-place of what it will feel like when that happens. There is
nothing you cannot be or do or have. You are blessed Beings; you have come
forth into this physical environment to create. There is nothing holding
you back, other than your own contradictory thought. And your emotion
tells you you're doing that. Life is supposed to be fun—it is supposed to
feel good! You are powerful Creators and right on schedule.
Savor more; fix less. Laugh more; cry less. Anticipate positively more;
anticipate negatively less. Nothing is more important than that you feel
good. Just practice that and watch what happens. There is great love here
for you. We are complete."
– Excerpted from an Abraham-Hicks workshop in North Los Angeles, CA on Saturday, March
22nd, 2003

Forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair.

The birth of a man is the birth of his sorrow. The longer he lives, the more stupid he becomes, because his anxiety to avoid unavoidable death becomes more and more acute. What bitterness! He lives for what is always out of reach! His thirst for survival in the future makes him incapable of living in the present. - Chang-Tzu

“If a man is called to be a street sweeper, he should sweep streets even as Michelangelo painted, or Beethoven composed music, or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say, here lived a great street sweeper who did his job well.”

Martin Luther King, Jr.

The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company... a church... a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past... we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the string we have, and that is our attitude...I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it. And so it is with you...we are in charge of our attitudes.
-Charles Swindoll

“Everything can be taken from a man but one thing; the last of the human freedoms - to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one's own way” - Viktor Frankl
