Mary Anne Radmacher

Live with intention.
walk to the edge.
listen hard.
practice wellness.
play with abandon.
laugh.
choose with no regret.
continue to learn.
appreciate your friends.
do what you love.
live as if this is all there is.

I believe in the sun even when it's not shining.
I believe in love even when I don't feel it.
I believe in God even when he is silent.
Healthy things grow.
Growing things change.
Changing things challenge.
Challenge forces us to trust God.
Trust leads to obedience.
Obedience makes us healthy.
Healthy things grow.

Mark Twain

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bow lines sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."

Emerson

To laugh often and much, to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children, to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends, to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others, to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch... to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded!

Victor Hugo

Have courage for the great sorrows of life and patience for the small ones. And when you have laboriously accomplished your daily task, go to sleep in peace. God is awake.

Francis De Sales

Nothing is so strong as gentleness; Nothing so gentle as real strength.

Ambrose Redmoon

Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgment that something else is more important than fear.

Always remember to be happy because you never know who's falling in love with your smile.

Walt Disney

All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them.

Henry David Thoreau

Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you've imagined.

Worrying does not take away tomorrow's grief; it takes away today's strength.

Worrying does not empty tomorrow of its troubles; it empties today of its strength.

Corrie ten Boom

Worry is carrying tomorrow's burden with today's strength. It's carrying two days at once.

Jack LaLanne

  • People don't die of heredity. They die of their habits. You can't control heredity. You can control what you eat.
  • What you eat today is what you wear tomorrow.
  • Take your inspiration and turn it into perspiration. That's the key.
  • You don't preach to people; you have to set an example.
  • We've got to get rid of celebrities selling soft drinks, cakes, pies. Why can't they sell what's good for them? Someone should tell them this.
  • Physical fitness should be taught to kindergarteners.
  • Kids need pride and discipline. You've got to instill it. They want it; they need it. When they do good, you praise them.
  • Living is like training for an athletic event.
  • What the hell good is your money (from working too much, lack of exercise) if you have arthritis and rheumatism? Can you make love to your money?
  • Getting exercise is not easy. You leave a hot bed and a hot woman and go to a cold gym.
  • Dying is easy. Living is a pain in the backside.

P. G. Wodehouse

As we grow older and realize more clearly the limitations of human happiness, we come to see that the only real and abiding pleasure in life is to give pleasure to other people.

Coco Chanel

Nature gives you the face you have at 20; it is up to you to merit the face you have at 50.

Edward Rickenbacker

Courage is doing what you're afraid to do. There can be no courage unless you're scared.
