    I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control
    “I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best.”
    Marilyn Monroe

    Greg Behrendt
    “If he’s not calling you, it’s because you are not on his mind. If he creates expectations for you, and then doesn’t follow through on little things, he will do same for big things. Be aware of this and realize that he’s okay with disappointing you. Don’t be with someone who doesn’t do what they say they’re going to do. If he’s choosing not to make a simple effort that would put you at ease and bring harmony to a recurring fight, then he doesn’t respect your feelings and needs. “Busy” is another word for “asshole.” “Asshole” is another word for the guy you’re dating. You deserve a fcking phone call.”
    Greg Behrendt

    Katharine Hepburn

    Katharine Hepburn, Me: Stories of My Life

    Roy T. Bennett, The Light in the Heart

  • #6
    Roy T. Bennett
    “Do not let the memories of your past limit the potential of your future. There are no limits to what you can achieve on your journey through life, except in your mind.”
    Roy T. Bennett, The Light in the Heart

  • #7
    Roy T. Bennett
    “Listen with curiosity. Speak with honesty. Act with integrity. The greatest problem with communication is we don’t listen to understand. We listen to reply. When we listen with curiosity, we don’t listen with the intent to reply. We listen for what’s behind the words.”
    Roy T. Bennett, The Light in the Heart

  • #8
    Roy T. Bennett
    “Surround Yourself with People Who Believe in Your Dreams:
    Surround yourself with people who believe in your dreams, encourage your ideas, support your ambitions, and bring out the best in you.”
    Roy T. Bennett, The Light in the Heart

  • #9
    Howard Zinn
    “TO BE HOPEFUL in bad times is not just foolishly romantic. It is based on the fact that human history is a history not only of cruelty, but also of compassion, sacrifice, courage, kindness.
    What we choose to emphasize in this complex history will determine our lives. If we see only the worst, it destroys our capacity to do something. If we remember those times and places—and there are so many—where people have behaved magnificently, this gives us the energy to act, and at least the possibility of sending this spinning top of a world in a different direction.
    And if we do act, in however small a way, we don’t have to wait for some grand utopian future. The future is an infinite succession of presents, and to live now as we think human beings should live, in defiance of all that is bad around us, is itself a marvelous victory.”
    Howard Zinn

  • #10
    Roy T. Bennett
    “Patience Is Not the Ability to Wait:
    Patience is not the ability to wait. Patience is to be calm no matter what happens, constantly take action to turn it to positive growth opportunities, and have faith to believe that it will all work out in the end while you are waiting.”
    Roy T. Bennett, The Light in the Heart

  • #11
    Roy T. Bennett
    “Perfectionism is the enemy of happiness. Embrace being perfectly imperfect. Learn from your mistakes and forgive yourself, you’ll be happier. We make mistakes because we are imperfect. Learn from your mistakes, forgive yourself, and keep moving forward.”
    Roy T. Bennett, The Light in the Heart

  • #12
    Roy T. Bennett
    “Don’t let others tell you what you can’t do. Don't let the limitations of others limit your vision. If you can remove your self-doubt and believe in yourself, you can achieve what you never thought possible.”
    Roy T. Bennett, The Light in the Heart

  • #13
    Helen Keller
    “Be of good cheer. Do not think of today's failures, but of the success that may come tomorrow. You have set yourselves a difficult task, but you will succeed if you persevere; and you will find a joy in overcoming obstacles. Remember, no effort that we make to attain something beautiful is ever lost.”
    Helen Keller

    Roy T. Bennett
    “Integrity is doing the right thing when nobody's watching, and doing as you say you would do.”
    Roy T. Bennett, The Light in the Heart

    Frederick Lewis Donaldson

    Neil deGrasse Tyson
    “For me, I am driven by two main philosophies: know more today about the world than I knew yesterday and lessen the suffering of others. You'd be surprised how far that gets you.”
    Neil deGrasse Tyson

  • #17
    Charles Darwin
    “Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge: it is those who know little, not those who know much, who so positively assert that this or that problem will never be solved by science.”
    Charles Darwin, The Descent of Man

  • #18
    Gautama Buddha
    “Conquer the angry one by not getting angry; conquer the wicked by goodness; conquer the stingy by generosity, and the liar by speaking the truth.

    [Verse 223]”
    Siddhārtha Gautama, The Dhammapada

  • #19
    Yukio Mishima
    “What transforms this world is — knowledge. Do you see what I mean? Nothing else can change anything in this world. Knowledge alone is capable of transforming the world, while at the same time leaving it exactly as it is. When you look at the world with knowledge, you realize that things are unchangeable and at the same time are constantly being transformed.”
    Yukio Mishima, The Temple of the Golden Pavilion

  • #20
    Hippocrates
    “There are in fact two things, science and opinion; the former begets knowledge, the latter ignorance.”
    Hippocrates

  • #21
    Abigail Van Buren
    “The best index to a person's character is how he treats people who can't do him any good, and how he treats people who can't fight back.”
    Abigail Van Buren

  • #22
    Alan W. Watts
    “We seldom realize, for example that our most private thoughts and emotions are not actually our own. For we think in terms of languages and images which we did not invent, but which were given to us by our society.”
    Alan Watts

  • #23
    Albert Einstein
    “The measure of intelligence is the ability to change.”
    Albert Einstein

  • #24
    Ashly Lorenzana
    “It's okay to disagree with the thoughts or opinions expressed by other people. That doesn't give you the right to deny any sense they might make. Nor does it give you a right to accuse someone of poorly expressing their beliefs just because you don't like what they are saying. Learn to recognize good writing when you read it, even if it means overcoming your pride and opening your mind beyond what is comfortable.”
    Ashly Lorenzana

  • #25
    Marcus Aurelius
    “If someone is able to show me that what I think or do is not right, I will happily change, for I seek the truth, by which no one was ever truly harmed. It is the person who continues in his self-deception and ignorance who is harmed.”
    Marcus Aurelius, Meditations

  • #26
    Vera Nazarian
    “It's a fact—everyone is ignorant in some way or another.

    Ignorance is our deepest secret.

    And it is one of the scariest things out there, because those of us who are most ignorant are also the ones who often don't know it or don't want to admit it.

    Here is a quick test:

    If you have never changed your mind about some fundamental tenet of your belief, if you have never questioned the basics, and if you have no wish to do so, then you are likely ignorant.

    Before it is too late, go out there and find someone who, in your opinion, believes, assumes, or considers certain things very strongly and very differently from you, and just have a basic honest conversation.

    It will do both of you good.”
    Vera Nazarian, The Perpetual Calendar of Inspiration

  • #27
    “Vulnerability is the only authentic state. Being vulnerable means being open, for wounding, but also for pleasure. Being open to the wounds of life means also being open to the bounty and beauty. Don’t mask or deny your vulnerability: it is your greatest asset. Be vulnerable: quake and shake in your boots with it. the new goodness that is coming to you, in the form of people, situations, and things can only come to you when you are vulnerable, i.e. open.”
    Stephen Russell, Barefoot Doctor's Guide to the Tao: A Spiritual Handbook for the Urban Warrior

  • #28
    John Maynard Keynes
    “When my information changes, I alter my conclusions. What do you do, sir?”
    John Maynard Keynes

  • #29
    Mark Twain
    “Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness.”
    Mark Twain

  • #30
    Milan Kundera
    “It does take great maturity to understand that the opinion we are arguing for is merely the hypothesis we favor, necessarily imperfect, probably transitory, which only very limited minds can declare to be a certainty or a truth.”
    Milan Kundera, Encounter
