Just some quotes
Two Wolves
One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a
battle that goes on inside people. He said, “My son,
The battle is between two ‘wolves’ inside us all.One is Evil. It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret,
greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment
Inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority and ego.The other is Good. It is joy, peace, love, hope,
serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence,
empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith.”
The grandson thought about it for a minute
and then asked his grandfather, “Which wolf wins?”The old Cherokee simply replied, “The one you feed.”
“I am beginning to measure myself in strength, not pounds. Sometimes in smiles.” – Wintergirls
Fairytales are more than true; not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten.
“Don’t fear failure so much that you refuse to try new things. The saddest summary of a life contains two descriptions: might have, and should have. ”
