Moving Forward . . . .

“Walk with the dreamers, the believers, the courageous, the cheerful, the planners, the doers, the successful people with their heads in the clouds and their feet on the ground. 

Let their spirit ignite a fire within you to leave this world better than when you found it...”


― Wilferd Peterson


“For millions of years, mankind lived just like the animals. Then something happened which unleashed the power of our imagination. We learned to talk and we learned to listen. Speech has allowed the communication of ideas, enabling human beings to work together to build the impossible. 

Mankind's greatest achievements have come about by talking, and its greatest failures by not talking. It doesn't have to be like this. Our greatest hopes could become reality in the future. With the technology at our disposal, the possibilities are unbounded. 

All we need to do is make sure we keep talking.”


― Stephen Hawking


“It is difficult to live in and enjoy the moment when you are thinking about the past or worrying about the future. You cannot change your past, but you can ruin the present by worrying about your future. Learn from the past, plan for the future. 

The more you live in and enjoy the present moment, the happier you will be.”


― Roy T. Bennett, The Light in the Heart


“If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours. He will put some things behind, will pass an invisible boundary; new, universal, and more liberal laws will begin to establish themselves around and within him; or the old laws be expanded, and interpreted in his favor in a more liberal sense, and he will live with the license of a higher order of beings.”


― Henry David Thoreau, Walden


“You will be fine,' the fortune teller says. 'There may be decisions to make and surprises in store. Life takes us to unexpected places sometimes.

The future is never set in stone, remember that.” 

― Erin Morgenstern, The Night Circus


“I still don't know what it really means to grow up. However, if I happen to meet you, one day in the future, by then, I want to become someone you can be proud to know.”


― Makoto Shinkai, 5 Centimeters per Second


Yesterday is gone. Tomorrow has not yet come. We have only today. Let us begin.”


― Mother Teresa
