“I’ve missed more than
9000 shots in my career.
I’ve lost almost 300 games.
26 times,
I’ve been trusted to take
the game winning shot and missed.
I’ve failed over and over
and over again in my life.
And that is why I succeed.”
~ Michael Jordan
“Before you speak,
let your words pass through three gates:
At the first gate, ask yourself “Is is true?”
At the second gate ask, “Is it necessary?”
At the third gate ask, “Is it kind?”
“Peace comes from being able to
contribute the best that we have,
and all that we are,
toward creating a world that supports everyone.
But it is also securing the space for others
to contribute the best that they have
and all that they are.”
~ Hafsat Abiola
“Always be the best person you can be.
Be kind even when you’re tired.
Be understanding even when you’re angry.”
“At the end
only two things really matter to a man,
regardless of who he is;
and they are the affection
and understanding of his family.
Anything and everything else he creates
are insubstantial;
they are ships given over
to the mercy of the winds
and tides of prejudice.
But the family is an everlasting anchorage,
a quiet harbor where a man’s ships
can be left to swing to the moorings
of pride and loyalty.”
~ Richard E. Byrd
“Life moves pretty fast.
If you don’t stop
and look around once in a while,
you could miss it.”
~ Ferris Bueller
“You can’t undo the past…
but you can certainly not repeat it.”
~ Bruce Willis
