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.
