“There are moments in your life when you simply have to trust and continue to move forward when you have absolutely nothing prepared or seemingly nothing to offer.”
“When someone shows you who they are, believe them.”
- Maya Angelou
“He has achieved success who has lived well, laughed often, and loved much;
Who has enjoyed the trust of pure women, the respect of intelligent men and the love of little children;
Who has filled his niche and accomplished his task;
Who has never lacked appreciation of Earth’s beauty or failed to express it;
Who has left the world better than he found it,
Whether an improved poppy, a perfect poem, or a rescued soul;
Who has always looked for the best in others and given them the best he had;
Whose life was an inspiration;
Whose memory a benediction.”
- Elisabeth-Anne “Bessie” Anderson Stanley
often missattributed to Ralph Waldo Emerson or Robert Louis Stevenson
“The moment there is suspicion about a person’s motives, everything he does becomes tainted.”
-Mahatma Gandhi
