"I am not the man I was when I failed,

but I wouldn't be who I am without those failures.

I didn't evolve despite my darkness;

I evolved because I faced it,

understood it, and refused to let it define me."

~ Gideon Smith ~

“Read books. Be interested in things. 

Get excited. Try not to be too hard 

on yourself. Enjoy the ever-present 

game of knowledge.”

~ Hank Green ~

“If you truly listen, if you pay attention

to the poignant beauty of the world,

your heart will often break.

In fact, your heart is made to break;

its purpose is to open itself again and 

again so that it can hold ever more wonders.”

~ Andrew Harvey ~

“Believe in your infinite potential.

Your only limitations are those you impose on yourself.

Believe in yourself, in your abilities, 

and in your own potential.

Never let doubt paralyze you.

You are worthy of everything you dream of and yearn for.”

~ Roy T. Bennett ~

“The least you can do in life

is discover what you yearn for.

And the most you can do is

live within that hope.

Not admire it from afar, but

live it fully, under its protection.”

~ Barbara Kingsolver ~

"It is interesting to observe 

that where life is simple and natural, 

and where children participate in the 

lives of adults, they are calm and happy."

~ Maria Montessori ~

“You will discover that it is 

necessary to let go of things;

simply because they are heavy.

So let them go, release them.

I don't tie weights to my ankles.”

~ C. JoyBell C. ~

“I would say that today is a beautiful day,

not because of the weather or how beautiful the sky looks,

but because it is a new day full of opportunities

and a chance to start from scratch.”

~ Onipede Ayomide ~
