When you keep hitting walls of resistance in life, the universe is trying to tell you that you are going the wrong way. It's like driving a bumper car at an amusement park. Each time you slam into another car or the edge of the track, you are forced to change direction.

You are worth more than what people say or think of you.

Success is not about impressing and pleasing everyone, but setting your own goals, and achieving them in your own time.

...those works that don't touch the heart, it seems to me, miss the true aim of Art.

Sometimes to change a situation you are in requires you to take a giant leap. But, you won't be able to fly unless you are willing to transform.

Go for broke. Always try and do too much. Dispense with safety nets. Take a deep breath before you begin talking. Aim for the stars. Keep grinning. Be bloody-minded. Argue with the world. And never forget that writing is as close as we get to keeping a hold on the thousand and one things--childhood, certainties, cities, doubts, dreams, instants, phrases, parents, loves--that go on slipping , like sand, through our fingers.

If life throws you a few bad notes or vibrations, don't let them interrupt or alter your song.

There are two missions we are obligated to carry out during our life journey. The first, is to seek Truth throughout our lifetime. The second, is simply to be good. Engrave it in your mind that life is just one big board game where you have to make it from start to finish by being good. That is all you have to do. The hardest part, is dealing with all the obstacles that prevent smooth sailing. The trick is, to always strive to be the right person in all situations – regardless of personal cost to you. Your aim is to make sure the right book on your shoulder weighs more that the bad book on the left. The scales are real. Regardless of your chosen faith, there is a measurement system to be found in all of the world's religions. After all, does it make sense for all souls, good or bad, to end up in the same place? Of course not. To really secure the very best setting in the afterlife, the vibrations of your good deeds must surpass your death.

Your mind can be your enemy or friend. If you always follow your heart, your mind will feel neglected. If you follow only your mind, your heart will never forgive you. Never ignore your conscience, yet always be conscious of reason. Make your heart and mind friends and you will have peace of mind throughout life's seasons.

The aim of science is to discover and illuminate truth. And that, I take it, is the aim of literature, whether biography or history... It seems to me, then, that there can be no separate literature of science.

You can decide to refuse to allow people who aim at hating you to achieve their aims.

A person with victim mentality cannot find himself, his life mission, and go towards his aims

You have to know your goal to reach out for it.

An aim in life is the only fortune worth the finding; and it is not to be found in foreign lands but in the heart itself.

If you would hit the mark, you must aim a little above it; Every arrow that flies feels the attraction of the earth.

As the arrow, loosed from the bow by the hand of the practiced archer, does not rest till it has reached the mark, so men pass from God to God. He is the mark for which they have been created, and they do not rest till they find their rest in him.

Whither should we aim if not towards God?

The aim, if reached or not, makes great the life;Try to be Shakespeare, leave the rest to fate.

In the long run, men hit only what they aim at. Therefore ... they had better aim high.

Nothing can add more power to your life than concentrating all your energies on a limited set of targets.
