Everyone has his own reality in which, if one is not too cautious, timid or frightened, one swims. 

This is the only reality there is.

Henry Miller

Ordinary riches can be stolen, real riches cannot.

In your soul are infinitely precious things that cannot be taken from you.

Oscar Wilde

When people don't express themselves, they die one piece at a time. You'd be shocked at how many adults are really dead on the inside, walking through their days with no idea who they are, just waiting for a heart attack or cancer or something to finish the job.

I believe that we are who we choose to be. 

Nobody's going to come and save you, 

you've got to save yourself. 

Nobody's going to give you anything. 

You've got to go out and fight for it. 

Nobody knows what you want 

except for you. 

And nobody will be as sorry as you

if you don't get it. 

So don't give up on your dreams.

Even a small star shines in the darkness.

Every great dream begins with a dreamer.

Always remember, you have within you 

the strength,

the patience, 

and the passion 

to reach for the stars 

to change the world.

Be that strong girl that everyone knew would make it through the worst,

be that fearless girl, the one who would dare to do anything, 

be that independent girl who didn't need a man, 

be that girl who never backed down.

"I am not pretty. I am not beautiful. I am as radiant as the sun."

— Suzanne Collins, The Hunger Games

Kill the habit of worry in all its forms by reaching a general blanket decision that nothing which life has to offer is worth the price of worry.

Napoleon Hill

 You’re never fully dressed without a smile.  

 

Martin Charnin

Ideals are like stars: you will not succeed in touching them with your hands, but like the seafaring man on the desert of waters, you choose them as your guides, and following them you reach your destiny.  

Carl Schurz

If you choose to explain yourself, do it because you want to share your thoughts with another person and not because you need their approval.

“The past is gone. The future has not been written. Today is a gift. That’s why it is called the present.”

" Life is about trusting your feelings and taking chances, losing and finding happiness, appreciating the memories and learning from the past and realizing people can always change. Take a chance because you never know how absolutely perfect something could turn out to be."
