Quotes by Michael V. Ivanov (?)

“When it is but a tiny flame, I will speak not of my desire so that others will not extinguish it with their words. Only when it burns strongly and no great sea can quench it, will I no longer fear what others know of it.”
― Michael V. Ivanov, The Mount of Olives: 11 Declarations To An Extraordinary Life

“In my sorrow I will seek for things to be grateful for and in my joy I will give thanks. In all things, I will be grateful.”
― Michael V. Ivanov, The Mount of Olives: 11 Declarations To An Extraordinary Life

“He fills it with experiences and, yet, when the night comes and he lies down, once again a deep sadness comes over him. Deep… deep inside every man lives knowledge of his miraculous power but man has learned to suppress this power, this force that is bursting from within his soul.”
― Michael V. Ivanov, The Mount of Olives: 11 Declarations To An Extraordinary Life

Michael’s Quotes

“In this life, we get broken fingers,
torn knee ligaments,
scars in the back of our heads,
broken hearts,
broken spirits... none of us make it into heaven without a limp.

But the only thing we will truly regret, is not the pain we EXPERIENCED, but the pain we AVOIDED.

Never settle for anything short of greatness!”
― Michael V. Ivanov
