"Obstacles cannot bend me. Every obstacle yields..." - Quote by Leonardo Da Vinci

“Realize that everything connects to everything else.”

“As a well-spent day brings happy sleep, so a life well spent brings happy death.”

“Darkness is absence of light. Shadow is diminution of light.”

“Success is steady progress toward one's personal goals.”

“Children have a lesson adults should learn, to not be ashamed of failing, but to get up and try again. Most of us adults are so afraid, so cautious, so 'safe,' and therefore so shrinking and rigid and afraid that it is why so many humans fail. Most middle-aged adults have resigned themselves to failure.”

“So let us persevere. Peace need not be impracticable, and war need not be inevitable. By defining our goal more clearly, by making it seem more manageable and less remote, we can help all peoples to see it, to draw hope from it, and to move irresistibly toward it.”

“Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off your goal.”

“I see only my objective - the obstacles must give way.”

“Many people see themselves as a problem that needs to be solved. They also habitually see the present moment as an obstacle that they need to overcome or get away from. With awareness, an inner sense of spaciousness arises that enables you to look at your own mind, which is to say the human mind, with a certain degree of detachment.”
