do the things you used to talk about doing but never did. know when to let go and when to hold on tight. stop rushing. don't be intimidated to say it like it is. stop apologizing all the time. learn to say no, so your yes has some oomph. spend time with the friends who lift you up, and cut loose the ones who bring you down. stop giving your power away. be more concerned with being interested than being interesting. be old enough to appreciate your freedom, and young enough to enjoy it. finally know who you are.

We're all self made, but only the successful will admit it~ Earl Nightingale
"Perfectionism is not the same thing as striving to be our best. Perfectionism is not about healthy achievement and growth; it's a shield. Perfectionism is a 20-ton shield that we lug around thinking it will protect us when, in fact, it's the thing that's really preventing us from being seen and taking flight."
“Man can live about forty days without food, about three days without water, about eight minutes without air, but only for one second without hope”
People take different roads seeking fulfillment and happiness. Just because they're not on your road doesn't mean they've gotten lost. -H. Jackson Browne
"Faith should fill the gaps, not substitute reality"
"You can't know the whole story with only half the facts"
"Fake friends are like shadows: always near you at your brightest moments, but nowhere to be seen at your darkest hour."
Pick the day. Enjoy it - to the hilt. The day as it comes. People as they come... The past, I think, has helped me appreciate the present - and I don't want to spoil any of it by fretting about the future.
-Audrey Hepburn
“I was born with an enormous need for affection, and a terrible need to give it.”
-Audrey Hepburn
“I love people who make me laugh. I honestly think it's the thing I like most, to laugh. It cures a multitude of ills. It's probably the most important thing in a person.” -Audrey Hepburn
"I believe in manicures. I believe in overdressing. I believe in primping at leisure and wearing lipstick. I believe in pink. I believe that loving is the best calorie burner. I believe in kissing. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles." ~Audrey
"I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best."-Marilyn Monroe
"I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together."-Marilyn Monroe
"Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius and it's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring." -Marilyn Monroe
"I am good, but not an angel. I do sin, but I am not the devil. I am just a small girl in a big world trying to find someone to love."-Marilyn Monroe
"If you can make a girl laugh, you can make her do anything."-Marilyn Monroe
"When it comes down to it, I let them think what they want. If they care enough to bother with what I do, then I'm already better than them."-Marilyn Monroe
"Give a girl the right shoes, and she can conquer the world."-Marilyn Monroe
"We should all start to live before we get too old. Fear is stupid. So are regrets."-Marilyn Monroe
"All little girls should be told they are pretty, even if they aren't."-Marilyn Monroe
"We are all of us stars, and we deserve to twinkle."-Marilyn Monroe
"Its better to be hated for what you are than to be loved for what your not"-Marilyn Monroe
"I’d much rather be a woman than a man. Women can cry, they can wear cute clothes, and they’re first to be rescued off sinking ships." Gilda Radner

"The beginning of wisdom is found in doubting; by doubting we come to the question, and by seeking we may come upon the truth." Pierre Abelard
"The World is my country, all mankind are my brethren, and to do good is my religion. My mind is my own church." - Thomas Paine
"Listening to you talk is like having my ears raped by stupidity..."
"Remember this… The grass is not greener on the other side. It's greener where you water it."
"I am tolerant, compassionate, and bossy---probably the result of having been lucky all my life. I have, since childhood, always felt the strong support of family and friends---so strong that it has prevented me dwelling
on my numerous shortcomings because it's shown me that my shortcomings are acceptable to those I care about."

When I feed the poor, they call me a saint, but when I ask why the poor are hungry, they call me a communist.-Dom Helder Camara
“If you want to build a ship, do not gather people and assign them tasks. Rather, teach them to yearn for the vastness of the sea.” Antoine St. Exuibery
“The truth is a beautiful and terrible thing, and should therefore be treated with great caution.” Dumbledore
"Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it."
-The Buddha
Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities ~Voltaire
"The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself."
