Work

"Don't change yourself to fit the job, change the job to fit you."

Knowing

"I've been rereading your story. I think it's about me in a way that might not be flattering, but that's okay. We dream and dream of being seen as we really are and then finally someone looks at us and sees us truly and we fail to measure up. Anyway: story received, story included. You looked at me long enough to see something mysterioso under all the gruff and bluster. Thanks. Sometimes you get so close to someone you end up on the other side of them."
-Richard Siken

"A great social success is a pretty girl who plays her cards as carefully as if she were plain."

Pretty

Forward

"There are better things ahead than any we leave behind."
-C.S. Lewis

Fight

"To be a great champion you must believe you are the best. If you're not, pretend you are."

Sorrow

Give sorrow words; the grief that does not speak whispers the o'er-fraught heart, and bids it break.
-William Shakespeare

What

"Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?"
-Mary Oliver

Bold

"When you cannot make up your mind which of two eveny balanced courses of action you should take--choose the bolder."
-W.J. Slim

Move

"You can't wait for inspiration; you have to go after it with a club."
-Jack London

No Matter

"Be who you are, and say what you feel, because those that mind don't matter and those that matter don't mind."
-Dr. Seuss

Move

"You can't see anything new until you change where you stand."
-Allie Moss

Fail

"Would you like me to give you a formula for success?  

It's quite simple, really.  Double your rate of failure. 
You are thinking of failure as the enemy of success. But it 
isn't at all. You can be discouraged by failure or you can 
learn from it.  So go ahead and make mistakes. Make all you 
can. Because remember that's where you will find success." 
--Thomas J. Watson
