Every optimist moves along with progress and hastens it,
while every pessimist would keep the worlds at a standstill.
The consequence of pessimism in the life of a nation

ignorance and crime, and dries up
all the fountains of joy in the world.

falls on men however they act;

that falls on them unless they act.

Do you not know that there comes a midnight hour
when every one has to throw off his mask?
Do you believe that life will always let itself be mocked?
Do you think you can slip away a little before midnight
in order to avoid this? Or are you not terrified by it?
I have seen men in real life who so long deceived others
that at last their true nature could not reveal itself;...
In every man there is something which to a certain degree
prevents him from becoming perfectly transparent to himself;
and this may be the case in so high a degree,
he may be so inexplicably woven into relationships of life
which extend far beyond himself that he almost cannot reveal himself.
But he who cannot reveal himself cannot love,
and he who cannot love is the most unhappy man of all.

All successful people men and women are big dreamers.
They imagine what their future could be,

their distant vision,
that goal or purpose.

Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence.
Talent will not;

Genius will not;
unrewarded genius is almost a proverb.

the world is full of educated derelicts.
Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.

to associate and to defend causes
which were for the moment unpopular.
- Edward R. Murrow

Men and women are not prisoners of fate,
but only prisoners of their own minds.
- Franklin D. Roosevelt

The River of Life has no judgments.
The River flows with no concept of good and bad - right and wrong.
The fields and dreams of men may be nourished by the River of Life,
or flooded and covered with silt, and the River just flows.
Men may catch fish and live on the River of Life,
or they may founder in a storm and drown, and the River just flows.
The River of Life is timeless.
It is not unchanging, but it is timeless,
and it changes in its own time.
The River of Life knows no obstacles.
The River can cut through solid rock - in its own time.
