Quotes About Life

“I don’t necessarily have to like my players and associates, but as their leader, I must love them. Love is loyalty, love is teamwork, love respects the dignity of the individual. This is the strength of any organization.” – Vince Lombardi

“Feelings are extremely important, for they teach us much about ourselves, the world around us, and our relationship to other human beings. For instance, positive emotions tell us something is right—we feel joyful, peaceful, content, expansive, loving. Negative emotions tell us something is wrong—we feel fearful, angry, sad, hopeless. They tell us when something needs to be changed, and not necessarily something outside of ourselves, such as another person’s behavior. Even our spirituality is based to a degree on emotion: a burning in the bosom, a feeling of peace or love, the sense that something is right for reasons that have nothing to do with logic.” – Carroll Hofeling Morris

“If you want life to change, then you have to change. If you want life to get better, then you have to get better. What does it take to be happy? Progress. Progress equals happiness.

Ordinarily, I go to the woods alone, with not a single friend, for they are all smilers and talkers and therefore unsuitable.
I don’t really want to be witnessed talking to the catbirds or hugging the old black oak tree. I have my way of praying, as you no doubt have yours.
Besides, when I am alone I can become invisible. I can sit on the top of a dune as motionless as an uprise of weeds, until the foxes run by unconcerned. I can hear the almost unhearable sound of the roses singing.
If you have ever gone to the woods with me, I must love you very much.
Mary Oliver

“Do not be dismayed by the brokenness of the world. All things break. And all things can be mended. Not with time, as they say, but with intention. So go. Love intentionally, extravagantly, unconditionally. The broken world waits in darkness for the light that is you.” – L.R.Knost
