The most difficult thing is the decision to act,
the rest is merely tenacity.
The fears are paper tigers.
You can do anything you decide to do.
You can act to change and control your life;
and the procedure, the process is its own reward.
- Amelia Earhart

Courage is the price that life exacts for granting peace.
The soul that knows it not, knows no release from little things;
knows not the livid loneliness of fear.
- Amelia Earhart

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

Better learn balance. Balance is key.
- Miyagi: character in the movie Karate Kid

If there is anything that we wish to change in the child,
we should first examine it and see whether it is
not something that could better be changed in ourselves.

Hate tears down, Love renews and creates.

Love creates Today as its own better future.

Consider a parent who says,
"Look at the sacrifices I'm making so you can have a better life."

Living a great life and sharing that life with others
is the noble way to live.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

Maybe everything breaks sometime.

The "stories" we choose to tell about our past
are never what a video camera would have recorded.
We can tell a sad story or a happy story,
and neither story is either
more accurate or "better" than the other story.
The difference is that one story causes us to suffer,
while the other brings us joy. I choose joy.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

Because we believe that our ethnic group,
our society, our political party, our God,
is better than your God, we kill each other.

with patience and equanimity.

To leave the world a bit better ...
to know that one life has breathed easier because you have lived.
This is to have succeeded.

often escapes better than the oak which resists it;
and so in great calamities,
it sometimes happens that light and frivolous spirits
recover their elasticity and presence of mind sooner
than those of a loftier character.

It is better to light a candle than to curse the darkness.
- Chinese proverb often quoted by Eleanor Roosevelt

It is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.

We all should choose our friends carefully.
I used to think that no one could know me better than somebody else,
because you're inside yourself, your body, you can't see yourself.
If you think like that, you surround yourself with
other people who are willing to tell you who you are,
which are usually judgmental people ...
we should really surround ourselves with the ones
that adore us and believe in the highest of us.
- Jewel

Every creature is better alive than dead,
men and moose and pine trees,

Our ordinary mind always tries to persuade us
that we are nothing but acorns

Our faith gives us knowledge of something better:
that we can become oak trees.
- E. F. Schumacher
