"Don't sit and wait. Get out there,..." - Quote by Rumi

“Sorrow prepares you for joy. It violently sweeps everything out of your house, so that new joy can find space to enter. It shakes the yellow leaves from the bough of your heart, so that fresh, green leaves can grow in their place. It pulls up the rotten roots, so that new roots hidden beneath have room to grow. Whatever sorrow shakes from your heart, far better things will take their place.”

“Water in the boat is the ruin of the boat, but water under the boat is its support.”

“The lion who breaks the enemy's ranks is a minor hero compared to the lion who overcomes himself.”

“Determination is the wake-up call to the human will.”

“You can always chase a dream but it will not count if you never catch it.”

“When you have talked yourself into what you want, right there is the place to stop talking and begin saying it with deeds.”

“The vigorous are no better than the lazy during one half of life, for all men are alike when asleep.”

“If you can surf your life rather than plant your feet, you will be happier.”

“We wanderers, ever seeking the lonelier way, begin no day where we have ended another, and no sunrise finds us where left by sunset. Even while the earth sleeps we travel. We are the seeds of that tenacious plant, and it is in our ripeness and our fullness of heart that we are given to the wind to be scattered.”
