Walter Isaacson
“I think different religions are different doors to the same house. Sometimes I think the house exists, and sometimes I don’t. It’s the great mystery.”
― Walter Isaacson, Steve Jobs

Nick Vujicic
“If you can't get a miracle, become one.”
― Nick Vujicic, Life Without Limits: Inspiration for a Ridiculously Good Life

Jalal ad-Din Muhammad ar-Rumi
“I want to sing like the birds sing, not worrying about who hears or what they think.”
― Rumi

Nick Vujicic
“Life isn't about having, it's about being. You could surround yourself with all that money can buy, and you'd still be as miserable as a human can be. I know people with perfect bodies who don't have half the happiness I've found. On my journeys I've seen more joy in the slums of Mumbai and the orphanages of Africa than in wealthy gated communities and on sprawling estates worth millions. Why is that? You'll find contentment when your talents and passion are completely engaged, in full force. Recognise instant self-gratification for what it is. Resist the temptation to grab for material objects like the perfect house, the coolest clothes or the hottest car. The if I just had X, I would be happy syndrome is a mass delusion. When you look for happiness in mere objects, they are never enough. Look around. Look within.”
― Nick Vujicic

Roméo Dallaire
“Are all humans human? Or are some more human than others?”
― Romeo Dallaire
