You must do the thing you think you cannot do

Eleanor Roosevelt

Try not to become a man of success, but rather try to become a man of value.

This old age is not only worthwhile, but it is meant to be. Therefore, it is our responsibility to help people get the most of it

Ken Durand

Ralph W. Emerson

Courage doesn’t always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying "I will try again tomorrow"

Mary Anne Radmacher

Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice.

Steve Jobs

Nothing will work unless you do

Maya Angelou

Madeleine Albright

Aging presents us with the opportunity not only to grow old, but to grow whole.

Connie Goldman

A woman with a voice is by definition a strong woman. But the search to find that voice can be remarkably difficult

Melinda Gates

It is your attitude, not your aptitude, that determines your altitude.

Zig Ziglar

Try not to become a man of success, but rather try to become a man of value.

Albert Einstein

The first responsibility of a leader is to define reality. The last is to say thank you. In between, the leader is a servant.

Max Du Preez

If you can't fly then run, if you can’t run then walk, if you can't walk then crawl, but whatever you do, you have to keep moving forward

Martin Luther King,Jr.

Either write something worth reading or do something worth writing about!

Benjamin Franklin

We don’t stop playing because we grow old. We grow old because we stop playing.

George Bernard Shaw
