At times our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another person.
Each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the
flame within us.

Quote from Inspiration Line 5/7/07 Look
at a stone cutter hammering away at his rock, perhaps a hundred times without
as much as a crack showing in it. Yet at the hundred-and-first blow it will split
in two, and I know it was not the last blow that did it, but all that had gone
before.

your talk is a great way to motivate yourself. No one likes to live a lie. Be
honest with yourself, and you will find the motivation to do what you advise others
to do.

people are highly motivated, it's easy to accomplish the impossible. And when
they're not, it's impossible to accomplish the easy.

May
you find serenity and tranquility in a world you may not always understand. May
the pain you have known and the conflict you have experienced give you the strength
to walk through life facing each new situation with courage and optimism. Always
know that there are those whose love and understanding will always be there, even
when you feel most alone. May you discover enough goodness in others to believe
in a world of peace. May a kind word, a reassuring touch, and a warm smile be
yours every day of your life, and may you give these gifts as well as receive
them. Remember the sunshine when the storm seems unending.

Alexander
Graham Bell
When you are inspired by some great purpose, some extraordinary project,
all your thoughts break their bonds; your mind transcends limitations, your consciousness
expands in every direction, and you find yourself in a new, great and wonderful
world. Dormant forces, faculties and talents become alive, and you discover yourself
to be a greater person by far than you ever dreamed yourself to be.

matter what our achievements might be, we think well of ourselves only in rare

on our shortcomings and transgressions. We need people to convince us that we
