    “Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Some people move our souls to dance. They awaken us to a new understanding with the passing whisper of their wisdom. Some people make the sky more beautiful to gaze upon. They stay in our lives for awhile, leave footprints on our hearts, and we are never, ever the same.”
    Flavia Weedn

    Martin Luther King Jr.
    “Everybody can be great...because anybody can serve. You don't have to have a college degree to serve. You don't have to make your subject and verb agree to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love.”
    Martin Luther King Jr.

  • #3
    Mother Teresa
    “At the end of life we will not be judged by how many diplomas we have received, how much money we have made, how many great things we have done.
    We will be judged by "I was hungry, and you gave me something to eat, I was naked and you clothed me. I was homeless, and you took me in.”
    Mother Teresa

  • #4
    Barack Obama
    “The best way to not feel hopeless is to get up and do something. Don’t wait for good things to happen to you. If you go out and make some good things happen, you will fill the world with hope, you will fill yourself with hope.”
    Barack Obama

  • #5
    Martin Luther King Jr.
    “The first question which the priest and the Levite asked was: 'If I stop to help this man, what will happen to me?' But...the good Samaritan reversed the question: 'If I do not stop to help this man, what will happen to him?”
    Martin Luther King Jr.

  • #6
    Barack Obama
    “I'm inspired by the people I meet in my travels--hearing their stories, seeing the hardships they overcome, their fundamental optimism and decency. I'm inspired by the love people have for their children. And I'm inspired by my own children, how full they make my heart. They make me want to work to make the world a little bit better. And they make me want to be a better man.”
    Barack Obama

  • #7
    Steve Maraboli
    “I don't want my life to be defined by what is etched on a tombstone. I want it to be defined by what is etched in the lives and hearts of those I've touched.”
    Steve Maraboli, Life, the Truth, and Being Free

  • #8
    Martin Luther
    “For all works and things, which are either commanded or forbidden by God and thus have been instituted by the
    supreme Majesty, are 'musts.' Nevertheless, no one should be dragged to them or away from them by the hair, for I can drive no man to heaven or beat him into it with a club.”
    Martin Luther

  • #9
    Theodore Guerin
    “We are not called upon to do all the good that is possible, but only that which we can do.”
    Theodore Guerin, Journals and Letters of Mother Theodore Guerin

  • #10
    Martin Luther
    “If there is anything in us, it is not our own; it is a gift of God. But if it is a gift of God, then it is entirely a debt one owes to love, that is, to the law of Christ. And if it is a debt owed to love, then I must serve others with it, not myself.

    Thus my learning is not my own; it belongs to the unlearned and is the debt I owe them...My wisdom belongs to the foolish, my power to the oppressed. Thus my wealth belongs to the poor, my righteousness to the sinners...

    It is with all these qualities that we must stand before God and intervene on behalf of those who do not have them, as though clothed with someone else's garment...But even before men we must, with the same love, render them service against their detractors and those who are violent toward them; for this is what Christ did for us.”
    Martin Luther, Luther's Works Lectures on Galatians/Chapters 5-6 Chapters 1-6

    Today, many will choose to leave the ghost of yesterday behind and seize the immeasurable power of today. Why not you?

    Today, many will break through the barriers of the past by looking at the blessings of the present. Why not you?

    Today, many will find abundance in simplicity. Why not you?

    Today, many will be confronted by difficult moral choices and they will choose to do what is right instead of what is beneficial. Why not you?

    Today, many will decide to no longer sit back with a victim mentality, but to take charge of their lives and make positive changes. Why not you?

    Today, many will take the action necessary to make a difference. Why not you?

    Today, many will make the commitment to be a better mother, father, son, daughter, student, teacher, worker, boss, brother, sister, & so much more. Why not you?

    Today is a new day!

    Many will seize this day.

    Many will live it to the fullest.

    Why not you?”
    Steve Maraboli, Life, the Truth, and Being Free

In each waking day, you will find scores of blessings and opportunities for positive change. Do not let your TODAY be stolen by the unchangeable past or the indefinite future! Today is a new day!”

    Leonardo da Vinci

  • #16
    Victoria Moran
    “A simple life is not seeing how little we can get by with—that’s poverty—but how efficiently we can put first things first. . . . When you’re clear about your purpose and your priorities, you can painlessly discard whatever does not support these, whether it’s clutter in your cabinets or commitments on your calendar. (148)”
    Victoria Moran, Lit From Within: Tending Your Soul For Lifelong Beauty

  • #17

    John      Piper
    “It was becoming clearer and clearer that if I wanted to come to the end of my life and not say, “I’ve wasted it!” then I would need to press all the way in, and all the way up, to the ultimate purpose of God and join him in it. If my life was to have a single, all-satisfying, unifying passion, it would have to be God’s passion.”
    John Piper, Don't Waste Your Life

    Dorothea Tanning
    “Art has always been the raft onto which we climb to save our sanity. I don't see a different purpose for it now.”
    Dorothea Tanning

  • #24
    Paul David Tripp
    “The church is not a theological classroom. It is a conversion, confession, repentance, reconciliation, forgiveness and sanctification center, where flawed people place their faith in Christ, gather to know and love him better, and learn to love others as he designed.”
    Paul David Tripp, Instruments in the Redeemer's Hands: People in Need of Change Helping People in Need of Change

  • #25
    Criss Jami
    “Women show men beauty in things beyond their ambitions. Women tell men to stop and smell the roses.”
    Criss Jami, Diotima, Battery, Electric Personality

  • #26
    “Every creature was designed to serve a purpose. Learn from animals for they are there to teach you the way of life. There is a wealth of knowledge that is openly accessible in nature. Our ancestors knew this and embraced the natural cures found in the bosoms of the earth. Their classroom was nature. They studied the lessons to be learned from animals. Much of human behavior can be explained by watching the wild beasts around us. They are constantly teaching us things about ourselves and the way of the universe, but most people are too blind to watch and listen.”
    Suzy Kassem, Rise Up and Salute the Sun: The Writings of Suzy Kassem

  • #27
    Albert Einstein
    “Man is here for the sake of other men - above all for those upon whose smiles and well-being our own happiness depends.”
    Albert Einstein

  • #28
    Holly Mosier
    “The most important reason for your “no” is that you need your downtime so you won’t behave like a jerk because you’re depleted. And you don’t want to battle an appetite spiked by the stress of overcommitment. But that’s your secret; others don’t need that information. So just smile, say no, thank you, and keep moving.”
    Holly Mosier

  • #29
    Holly Mosier
    “Our culture encourages us to plan every moment and fill our schedules with one activity and obligation after the next, with no time to just be. But the human body and mind require downtime to rejuvenate. I have found my greatest moments of joy and peace just sitting in silence, and then I take that joy and peace with me out into the world.”
    Holly Mosier

  • #30
    Mollie Marti
    “Your value lies not in status or title, but in the roots of your character and depth of your compassion.”
    Mollie Marti

  • #31
    “A lost person or article is still what it is, still valuable in itself, but in the wrong place, disconnected from its purpose and unable to be or do whatever it is intended to be or do.”
    David Winter, What's In a Word: 40 Words of Jesus for the 40 Days of Lent
