Der er altid en vej.
Karen Bork, min mormor
Lær det gode. Læg vind på, hvad ret er.
Hjælp fortabte, skaf faderløse ret, før enkens sag.
Bibelen Es 1,17, mit konfirmationsord
Glæden ved at tilgive er sødere end glæden ved hævn.
Koranen
Man kan sgi' lige så godt gøre sig umage.
Anton Lassen, min far (arkitekt, kirkehåndværker)
Man skal lære, så længe man lever.
(gammelt ordsprog)
Man er lærer, så længe man har elever.
Cilia Lassen, min mor (keramiker, aftenskolelærer)
Han har tilbragt sit liv bedst, som har nydt det mest.
Vorherre vil sørge for, at vi ikke nyder det mere, end det er godt for os.
Samuel Butler
Man skal aldrig glæde sig før dagen efter.
Robert Storm Petersen
Don't wait until everything is just right.
It will never be perfect.
There will always be challenges, obstacles and less than perfect conditions.
So what?
Get started now.
With each step you take, you will grow stronger and stronger,
more and more skilled, more and more self-confident
and more and more successful.
Mark Victor Hansen
The thing that is really hard, and really amazing,
is giving up on being perfect
and beginning the work of becoming yourself.
Anna Quindlen
A friend knows the song in my heart
and sings it to me when my memory fails.
Donna Roberts
Dream the impossible dream,
Fight the unbeatable foe,
Strive with your last ounce of courage
To reach the unreachable star.
To live is so startling, it leaves little time for anything else.
Emily Dickenson
I wanted a perfect ending... Now, I've learned, the hard way,
that some poems don't rhyme,
and some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle and end.
Life is about not knowing,
having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it,
without knowing what's going to happen next.
Delicious ambiguity.
Gilda Radner
We need to pay exquisite attention to our responses to things
- noticing what makes our flame glow brighter.
If we pay attention to those things, we'll be able to catch the flame and feed it.
Nina Simons
If I were asked to give what I consider the single most useful
bit of advice for all humanity it would be this:
Expect trouble as an inevitable part of life and when it comes, hold your head high,
look it squarely in eye and say, 'I will be bigger than you. You cannot defeat me.'
Ann Landers
You must learn day by day, year by year, to broaden your horizons.
The more things you love, the more you are interested in,
the more you enjoy, the more you are indignant about
- the more you have left when anything happens.
Ethel Barrymore
Dreaming is a muscle, you need to exercise it.
Just like an other muscle in your body,
when you don't use it, it atrophies.
Daena Giardella
Perhaps the secret of living well is not in having all the answers,
but in pursuing unanswerable questions in good company.
Rachel Naomi Remen
All that is necessary to break the spell of inertia and frustration is this:
Act as if it were impossible to fail. That is the talisman, the formula,
the command of right-about-face which turns us from failure towards success.
Dorthea Bragg
The more you praise and celebrate your life, the more there is in life to celebrate.
Oprah Winfrey
I don't want to get to the end of my life and find that I lived just the length of it.
I want to have lived the width of it as well.
Diane Ackerman
I want feelings to be expressed, to be open, to be natural,
not to be looked on as strange. It's not weird if you feel deeply.
