quote by William James

Seek out that particular mental attitude which makes you feel most deeply and vitally alive, along with which comes the inner voice which says, "This is the real me," and when you have found that attitude, follow it.

quote by Oliver Wendell Holmes

The great thing in this world is not so much where we are but in what direction we are moving.

quote by Rollo May

The hallmark of courage in our age of conformity is the capacity to stand on one's convictions-- not obstinately or defiantly  (these are gestures of defensiveness, not courage) nor as a gesture of retaliation, but simply because these are what one believes.
