Oprah Winfrey
“What other people label or might try to call failure, I have learned is just God's way of pointing you in a new direction”
Oprah Winfrey

Pascal Mercier
“Don't waste your time, do something worthwhile with it."
But what can that mean: worthwhile? Finally to start realizing long-cherished wishes. To attack the error that there will always be time for it later....Take the long-dreamed-of trip, learn this language, read those books, buy yourself this jewelry, spend a night in that famous hotel. Don't miss out on yourself.
Bigger things are also part of that: to give up the loathed profession, break out of a hated milieu. Do what contributes to making you more genuine, moves you closer to yourself.”
Pascal Mercier, Night Train to Lisbon

Pascal Mercier
“To understand yourself: Is that a discovery or a creation?”
Pascal Mercier, Night Train to Lisbon

Oprah Winfrey
“Everything happens for a reason, even when we are not wise enough to see it. When there is no struggle, there is no strength.”
Oprah Winfrey
