There’s no room for facts when our minds are occupied by fear.
#HansRosling

He who respects the infant's faith
Triumphs over Hell and Death.
The child's toys and the old man's reasons
Are the fruits of the two seasons.
The questioner, who sits so sly,
Shall never know how to reply.
He who replies to words of doubt
Doth put the light of Knowledge out.
The strongest poison ever known
Came from Caesar's laurel crown,
Nought can deform the human race
Like to the armour's iron brace.
When gold and gems adorn the plow
To peaceful arts shall Envy bow.
A riddle or the cricket's cry
Is to doubt a fit reply.
The emmet's inch and eagle's mile
Make lame Philosophy to smile.
He who doubts from what he sees
Will ne'er believe, do what you please.
If the Sun and Moon should doubt,
They'd immediately go out.
To be in a passion you good may do,
But no good if a passion is in you.
The whore and gambler, by the state
Licens'd, build that nation's fate.
The harlot's cry from street to street,
Shall weave Old England's winding sheet.
The winner's shout, the loser's curse,
Dance before dead England's hearse.
Every night and every morn
Some to misery are born.
Every morn and every night
Some are born to sweet delight.
Some are born to sweet delight,
Some are born to endless night.
We are led to believe a lie
When we see not thro' the eye
Which was born in a night to perish in a night,
When the Soul slept in beams of light.
God appears and God is light
To those poor souls who dwell in night,
But does a human form display
To those who dwell in realms of day.

Knowledge falters when imagination clips its wings or fears to use them.
#JohnDewey

You must have a place to which you can go in your heart, your mind, or your house, almost every day, where you do not owe anyone and where no one owes you – a place that simply allows for the blossoming of something new and promising.
#JosephCampbell

Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better.
#MayaAngelou

There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man; true nobility is being superior to your former self.
#ErnestHemingway

Stay afraid, but do it anyway. What’s important is the action. You don’t have to wait to be confident. Just do it and eventually the confidence will follow.
#CarrieFisher

One can choose to go back toward safety or forward toward growth. Growth must be chosen again and again; fear must be overcome again and again.
#AbrahamMaslow

We can’t become what we need to be by remaining what we are.
#OprahWinfrey

When we’re growing up, there are all sorts of people telling us what to do when really what we need is space to work out who to be.

Permit yourself to change your mind when something is no longer working for you.

Be not afraid of growing slowly; be afraid only of standing still.

Change brings opportunity.

Sometimes good things fall apart so better things could fall together.

Incredible change happens in your life when you decide to take control of what you have power over instead of craving control over what you don’t.
#SteveMaraboli

Recognizing that you are not where you want to be is a starting point to begin changing your life.
#DeborahDay

People who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do.
#RobSiltanen

I am no longer accepting the things I cannot change. I am changing the things I cannot accept.

What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make.
