There is nothing weak about kindness and compassion.
There is nothing weak about looking out for others.
There is nothing weak about being honorable.
You are not a sucker to have integrity
and to treat others with respect.”
~ Barack Obama
“If the pieces do not fit into your puzzle…
try a different picture.”
~ Cass van Krah
“Stop apologizing.
You don’t have to say sorry for how you laugh,
how you dress, how you speak.
You don’t have to be sorry for being yourself.
Do it fearlessly.
It’s time to accept this is you
and you gotta spend the rest of your life with you.
So, start loving your sarcasm, your awkwardness,
your unique sense of humor, your everything.
It will make your life so much easier
to simply be yourself.”
“Our country is not the only thing
to which we owe our allegiance.
It is also owed to justice and to humanity.
Patriotism consists not in waving the flag,
but in striving that our country shall be
righteous as well as strong.”
~ James Bryce
“Don’t forget you’re human.
It’s okay to have a meltdown.
Just don’t unpack and live there.
Cry it out.
Then refocus on where you’re headed”
“Our greatest glory consists not in never falling,
but in rising every time we fall.”
~ Oliver Goldsmith
