"Pitiful is the person who is afraid of taking risks.
Perhaps this person will never be disappointed or disillusioned;
perhaps he won't suffer the way people do when they have a dream to follow.
But when the person looks back - and at some point everyone looks back -
he will hear his heart, saying,
'What have you done with the miracles that God planted in your days?
What have you done with the talents God bestowed on you?'"

~Paulo Coelho

"Wonder what opportunities you pass, unwittingly, because your hands are so busy clasping what you think you have always known." ~Mary Anne Radmacher

"Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life.
Don't be trapped by dogma -
which is living with the results of other people's thinking.
Don't let the noise of others' opinions
drown out your own inner voice.
And most important, have the courage
to follow your heart and intuition.
They somehow already know what you truly want to become.
Everything else is secondary."

~Steve Jobs

"A common denominator of all religions is that they have the power to bring out both the best and the worst in people. " ~Jonathan Lockwood Huie
