| DAILY QUOTES Posted: 5/18/2008 3:48:56 AM | Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary. Steve Jobs | |

| DAILY QUOTES Posted: 5/19/2008 2:16:48 PM | “Our life is what our thoughts make it.”
--Marcus Aurelius
“It is our own mental attitude which makes the world what it is for us. Our thought make things beautiful, our thoughts make things ugly. The whole world is in our own minds. Learn to see things in the proper light. First, believe in this world – that there is meaning behind everything. Everything in the world is good, is holy and beautiful. If you see something evil, think that you are not understanding it in the right light. Throw the burden on yourselves!”
-- Swami Vivekananda
"The mind is its own place, and in itself Can make a Heav’n of Hell, a Hell of Heav’n."
--John Milton Paradise Lost | |
