Albert EinsteinI’ve always believed in God.

Stephen KingI know this sounds strange, but as a kid, I was really shy. Painfully shy. The turning point was freshman year, when I was the biggest geek alive. No one, I mean no one, even talked to me.
Jim CarreyTo go beyond is as wrong as to fall short.
ConfuciusTo complain is always nonacceptance of what is. It invariably carries an unconscious negative charge. When you complain, you make yourself into a victim. When you speak out, you are in your power. So change the situation by taking action or by speaking out if necessary or possible; leave the situation or accept it. All else is madness.

Greta ThunbergThe way I approach this thing, when I started to get my head screwed on straight and really trying to make something of myself as an artist, when I was 19 or 20, it became more about function for me. Like, what is this song doing to you? What is the function of this type of artform? What is it doing?
Frank OceanThe ego is only an illusion, but a very influential one. Letting the ego-illusion become your identity can prevent you from knowing your true self. Ego, the false idea of believing that you are what you have or what you do, is a backwards way of assessing and living life.
Wayne DyerYou can change your world by changing your words… Remember, death and life are in the power of the tongue.

Audrey HepburnIt is always your next move.
Napoleon HillEach player must accept the cards life deals him or her: but once they are in hand, he or she alone must decide how to play the cards in order to win the game.
VoltaireI know I will never be happy, but I know I can be gay!

Conor McGregorTo the best of my judgment, I have labored for, and not against, the Union. As I have not felt, so I have not expressed any harsh sentiment towards our Southern brethren.

Marilyn MonroeIt’s easy to get negative because you get beat down. You go through a few disappointments and it’s easy to stay in that negative frame of mind. Choosing to be positive and having a grateful attitude is a whole cliche, but your attitude is going to determine how you’re going to live your life.
Joel OsteenI had a period in my life where I decided that I would never be bored again and that, if I had any free time at all, I would make plans, and I would always be doing things. It actually was great for a year or so, but then I lost all of my friends.
