    Walter Isaacson
    “If you want to live your life in a creative way, as an artist, you have to not look back too much. You have to be willing to take whatever you’ve done and whoever you were and throw them away. The more the outside world tries to reinforce an image of you, the harder it is to continue to be an artist, which is why a lot of times, artists have to say, “Bye. I have to go. I’m going crazy and I’m getting out of here.” And they go and hibernate somewhere. Maybe later they re-emerge a little differently.”
    Walter Isaacson, Steve Jobs

    “You will miss a normal life while living a successful life, but not as much as the craving for a successful life while you were living a normal life.”
    Amit Kalantri

    Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
    “If you treat an individual as he is, he will remain how he is. But if you treat him as if he were what he ought to be and could be, he will become what he ought to be and could be.”
    Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

    Mahatma Gandhi

    Mahatma Gandhi
    “When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants and murderers, and for a time, they can seem invincible, but in the end, they always fall. Think of it--always.”
    Mahatma Gandhi

    Steve Maraboli
    “Don’t try to fit me in a box… My life is not one dimensional. I’m the summer breeze and the hurricane… I’m the serene lake and the raging ocean… I’m the gentle poet and the rough warrior… I can build and I can destroy... I can romance and I can ravage... I can be wise and I can be silly... I can and WILL be everything that the length, depth, and breadth of life will allow... KNOW THIS! Your labels don’t limit me… they limit your experience of me. Don’t confuse the two.”
    Steve Maraboli

    Muhammad Ali
    “This is the legend of Cassius Clay,
    The most beautiful fighter in the world today.
    He talks a great deal, and brags indeed-y,
    of a muscular punch that's incredibly speed-y.
    The fistic world was dull and weary,
    But with a champ like Liston, things had to be dreary.
    Then someone with color and someone with dash,
    Brought fight fans are runnin' with Cash.
    This brash young boxer is something to see
    And the heavyweight championship is his des-tin-y.
    This kid fights great; he’s got speed and endurance,
    But if you sign to fight him, increase your insurance.
    This kid's got a left; this kid's got a right,
    If he hit you once, you're asleep for the night.
    And as you lie on the floor while the ref counts ten,
    You’ll pray that you won’t have to fight me again.
    For I am the man this poem’s about,
    The next champ of the world, there isn’t a doubt.
    This I predict and I know the score,
    I’ll be champ of the world in ’64.
    When I say three, they’ll go in the third,
    10 months ago

    So don’t bet against me, I’m a man of my word.
    He is the greatest! Yes!
    I am the man this poem’s about,
    I’ll be champ of the world, there isn’t a doubt.
    Here I predict Mr. Liston’s dismemberment,
    I’ll hit him so hard; he’ll wonder where October and November went.
    When I say two, there’s never a third,
    Standin against me is completely absurd.
    When Cassius says a mouse can outrun a horse,
    Don’t ask how; put your money where your mouse is!
    I AM THE GREATEST!”
    Muhammad Ali

    Mahatma Gandhi
    “There are people in the world so hungry, that God cannot appear to them except in the form of bread.”
    Mahatma Gandhi

    Viktor E. Frankl
    “Those who have a 'why' to live, can bear with almost any 'how'.”
    Viktor E. Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning

  • #11
    Viktor E. Frankl
    “But there was no need to be ashamed of tears, for tears bore witness that a man had the greatest of courage, the courage to suffer.”
    Viktor E. Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning

  • #12
    Viktor E. Frankl
    “Love is the only way to grasp another human being in the innermost core of his personality. No one can become fully aware of the very essence of another human being unless he loves him. By his love he is enabled to see the essential traits and features in the beloved person; and even more, he sees that which is potential in him, which is not yet actualized but yet ought to be actualized. Furthermore, by his love, the loving person enables the beloved person to actualize these potentialities. By making him aware of what he can be and of what he should become, he makes these potentialities come true.”
    Viktor E. Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning

    Viktor E. Frankl
    “Ultimately, man should not ask what the meaning of his life is, but rather must recognize that it is he who is asked. In a word, each man is questioned by life; and he can only answer to life by answering for his own life; to life he can only respond by being responsible.”
    Viktor E. Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning

  • #14
    Viktor E. Frankl
    “For the first time in my life I saw the truth as it is set into song by so many poets, proclaimed as the final wisdom by so many thinkers. The truth - that Love is the ultimate and highest goal to which man can aspire. Then I grasped the meaning of the greatest secret that human poetry and human thought and belief have to impart: The salvation of man is through love and in love.”
    Viktor E. Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning

  • #15
    Viktor E. Frankl
    “It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life—daily and hourly. Our answer must consist, not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual.”
    Viktor E. Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning

    Viktor E. Frankl
    “Happiness cannot be pursued; it must ensue.”
    Viktor E. Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning

  • #17
    Viktor E. Frankl
    “By declaring that man is responsible and must actualize the potential meaning of his life, I wish to stress that the true meaning of life is to be discovered in the world rather than within man or his own psyche, as though it were a closed system. I have termed this constitutive characteristic "the self-transcendence of human existence." It denotes the fact that being human always points, and is directed, to something or someone, other than oneself--be it a meaning to fulfill or another human being to encounter. The more one forgets himself--by giving himself to a cause to serve or another person to love--the more human he is and the more he actualizes himself. What is called self-actualization is not an attainable aim at all, for the simple reason that the more one would strive for it, the more he would miss it. In other words, self-actualization is possible only as a side-effect of self-transcendence.”
    Viktor E. Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning

  • #18
    Viktor E. Frankl
    “A man who becomes conscious of the responsibility he bears toward a human being who affectionately waits for him, or to an unfinished work, will never be able to throw away his life. He knows the "why" for his existence, and will be able to bear almost any "how".”
    Victor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning

  • #19
    Viktor E. Frankl
    “What is demanded of man is not, as some existential philosophers teach, to endure the meaninglessness of life, but rather to bear his incapacity to grasp its unconditional meaningfulness in rational terms.”
    Viktor E. Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning

  • #20
    Viktor E. Frankl
    “Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms—to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.”
    Viktor E. Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning

    Vivekananda
    “Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life; dream of it; think of it; live on that idea. Let the brain, the body, muscles, nerves, every part of your body be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to success, and this is the way great spiritual giants are produced.”

You can do any thing and everything, without even the guidance of any one. Stand up and express the divinity within you.”
    Vivekananda
