“Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.”
~Howard Thurman
“…as soon as the child can understand the meaning of a word, he should be told that this word represents a miracle. When we speak of the eye, we should explain what a miracle it is to be able to see. We should explain what a miracle it is to be able to speak. What a marvel are our hands! When the wonder of each word has been made clear, then every child should be taught to realize: ‘I am a miracle – and he is also a miracle. I am a unique being; there never has been a person like me since the beginning of the world – nor will there be until our world comes to an end. And he, too, is unique and will be so until our world will end. Therefore, I cannot kill him – and he cannot kill me.’ Only in this way can we do away with the impulse of wars…”
~Pablo Casals
“One day, you will wake up and there won’t be any time to do the things you’ve always wanted. Do it now.”
