    Dodie Smith
    “Noble deeds and hot baths are the best cures for depression.”
    Dodie Smith, I Capture the Castle

  • #2
    Winston S. Churchill
    “How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. The effects are apparent in many countries. Improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live. A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement; the next of its dignity and sanctity. The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property – either as a child, a wife, or a concubine – must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men. Thousands become the brave and loyal soldiers of the faith: all know how to die but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science, the science against which it had vainly struggled, the civilisation of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilisation of ancient Rome.”
    Winston Churchill, The River War

  • #3
    James Baldwin
    “The artistic image is not intended to represent the thing itself, but, rather, the reality of the force the thing contains.”
    James Baldwin, Nobody Knows My Name

  • #4
    Mitch Albom
    “Miracles happen quietly every day - in an operating room, on a stormy sea, in the sudden appearance of a road side stranger. They are rarely tallied. No one keeps score.”
    Mitch Albom, The First Phone Call from Heaven

  • #5
    Elizabeth Gilbert
    “I'm choosing happiness over suffering, I know I am. I'm making space for the unknown future to fill up my life with yet-to-come surprises.”
    Elizabeth Gilbert, Eat, Pray, Love

  • #6
    Allen Ginsberg
    “Follow your inner moonlight; don't hide the madness.”
    Allen Ginsberg

  • #7
    Anthon St. Maarten
    “Like a Columbus of the heart, mind and soul I have hurled myself off the shores of my own fears and limiting beliefs to venture far out into the uncharted territories of my inner truth, in search of what it means to be genuine and at peace with who I really am. I have abandoned the masquerade of living up to the expectations of others and explored the new horizons of what it means to be truly and completely me, in all my amazing imperfection and most splendid insecurity.”
    Anthon St. Maarten

    “Courage is the discovery that you may not win, and trying when you know you can lose”
    Tom Krause

  • #9
    Shannon L. Alder
    “When you give yourself permission to communicate what matters to you in every situation you will have peace despite rejection or disapproval. Putting a voice to your soul helps you to let go of the negative energy of fear and regret.”
    Shannon L. Alder

  • #10
    Langston Hughes
    “Out of love,
    No regrets--
    Though the goodness
    Be wasted forever.

    Out of love,
    No regrets--
    Though the return
    Be never.”
    Langston Hughes, Selected Poems

  • #11
    Shannon L. Alder
    “There are no coincidences in life. What person that wandered in and out of your life was there for some purpose, even if they caused you harm. Sometimes, it doesn’t make sense the short periods of time we get with people, or the outcomes from their choices. However, if you turn it over to God he promises that you will see the big picture in the hereafter. Nothing is too small to be a mistake.”
    Shannon Alder

  • #12
    Steve Jobs
    “Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.”
    Steve Jobs

  • #13
    Albert Camus
    “Don’t walk in front of me… I may not follow
    Don’t walk behind me… I may not lead
    Walk beside me… just be my friend”
    Albert Camus

  • #15
    Steven Wright
    “Right now I’m having amnesia and déjà vu at the same time. I think I’ve forgotten this before.”
    Steven Wright

  • #16
    I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn
    “I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.”
    Marilyn Monroe

  • #17
    Bertrand Russell
    “Love is wise; hatred is foolish. In this world, which is getting more and more closely interconnected, we have to learn to tolerate each other, we have to learn to put up with the fact that some people say things that we don't like. We can only live together in that way. But if we are to live together, and not die together, we must learn a kind of charity and a kind of tolerance, which is absolutely vital to the continuation of human life on this planet.”
    Bertrand Russell

    Shannon L. Alder
    “Dear Child,

    Sometimes on your travel through hell, you meet people that think they are in heaven because of their cleverness and ability to get away with things. Travel past them because they don't understand who they have become and never will. These type of people feel justified in revenge and will never learn mercy or forgiveness because they live by comparison. They are the people that don't care about anyone, other than who is making them feel confident. They don’t understand that their deity is not rejoicing with them because of their actions, rather he is trying to free them from their insecurities, by softening their heart. They rather put out your light than find their own. They don't have the ability to see beyond the false sense of happiness they get from destroying others. You know what happiness is and it isn’t this. Don’t see their success as their deliverance. It is a mask of vindication which has no audience, other than their own kind. They have joined countless others that call themselves “survivors”. They believe that they are entitled to win because life didn’t go as planned for them. You are not like them. You were not meant to stay in hell and follow their belief system. You were bound for greatness. You were born to help them by leading. Rise up and be the light home. You were given the gift to see the truth. They will have an army of people that are like them and you are going to feel alone. However, your family in heaven stands beside you now. They are your strength and as countless as the stars. It is time to let go!

    Love,

    Your Guardian Angel”
    Shannon L. Alder

    Shannon L. Alder
    “Sensitive people are the most genuine and honest people you will ever meet. There is nothing they won’t tell you about themselves if they trust your kindness. However, the moment you betray them, reject them or devalue them, they become the worse type of person. Unfortunately, they end up hurting themselves in the long run. They don’t want to hurt other people. It is against their very nature. They want to make amends and undo the wrong they did. Their life is a wave of highs and lows. They live with guilt and constant pain over unresolved situations and misunderstandings. They are tortured souls that are not able to live with hatred or being hated. This type of person needs the most love anyone can give them because their soul has been constantly bruised by others. However, despite the tragedy of what they have to go through in life, they remain the most compassionate people worth knowing, and the ones that often become activists for the broken hearted, forgotten and the misunderstood. They are angels with broken wings that only fly when loved.”
    Shannon L. Alder

    “Be music always. Keep changing the keys, tones, pitch, and volume of each of the songs you create along your life's journey and play on.”
    Suzy Kassem, Rise Up and Salute the Sun: The Writings of Suzy Kassem

  • #21
    Richard Bach
    “What the caterpillar calls the end of the world, the master calls a butterfly.”
    Richard Bach, Illusions: The Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah

  • #22
    E.E. Cummings
    “may came home with a smooth round stone
    as small as a world and as large as alone.”
    E.E. Cummings

  • #23
    Roman Payne
    “Never did the world make a queen of a girl who hides in houses and dreams without traveling.”
    Roman Payne, The Wanderess

  • #24
    Zora Neale Hurston
    “There is a basin in the mind where words float around on thought and thought on sound and sight. Then there is a depth of thought untouched by words, and deeper still a gulf of formless feelings untouched by thought.”
    Zora Neale Hurston, Their Eyes Were Watching God

  • #25
    Zora Neale Hurston
    “Now, women forget all those things they don't want to remember, and remember everything they don't want to forget. The dream is the truth. Then they act and do things accordingly.”
    Zora Neale Hurston, Their Eyes Were Watching God

  • #26
    Wayne W. Dyer
    “When you dance, your purpose is not to get to a certain place on the floor. It's to enjoy each step along the way.”
    Wayne W. Dyer

  • #27
    Wayne W. Dyer
    “You cannot always control what goes on outside. But you can always control what goes on inside.”
    Wayne W. Dyer

  • #28
    Wayne W. Dyer
    “In any relationship in which two people become one, the end result is two half people.”
    Wayne W. Dyer

  • #29
    Wayne W. Dyer
    “I am thankful to all those who said no. It's because of them, I did it myself.”
    Wayne W. Dyer, You'll see it when you believe it

  • #30
    Wayne W. Dyer
    “Before speaking, consult your inner-truth barometer, and resist the temptation to tell people only what they want to hear.”
    Wayne W. Dyer

  • #31
    Wayne W. Dyer
    “I would rather be hated for who I am than loved for who I'm not.”
    Wayne W. Dyer
