Words that currently INSPIRE me

Stay away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but really great people make you feel that you, too, can be great! - Mark Twain
God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference.
All men dream, but not equally. Those that dream by night in the dust recesses of their minds awake to find that it was vanity; but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dreams with open eyes, to make it possible. - T.E. Lawrence
First they laugh at you, then they fight you, and then you win.
You have to decide what your highest priorities are and have the courage- pleasantly, smilingly, non-apologetically- to say no to other things. And the way to do that is by having a bigger yes burning inside! - Stephen Covey
Having a vision of what you want is not enough! Vision without execution is hallucination! - Thomas Edison
All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident. - Arthur Schopenhauer
Forgiveness is the fragrance a violet sheds from the heel that has crushed it.
