Pero… para cantar,
Soñar, reír, pasar, estar solo, ser libre,
Tener un ojo que mire bien, una voz que vibre,
Pon, cuando quieras, su sombrero de fieltro torcido,
Por un sí, por un no, para luchar – ¡o escribir un verso!
Trabaja sin preocuparte por la fama o la fortuna,
¡A tal viaje, del que se piensa, a la luna!
Nunca escribas nada que no salga de sí mismo.

“Mais… chanter,
Rêver, rire, passer, être seul, être libre,
Avoir l’œil qui regarde bien, la voix qui vibre,
Mettre, quand il vous plaît, son feutre de travers,
Pour un oui, pour un non, se battre, – ou faire un vers !
Travailler sans souci de gloire ou de fortune,
À tel voyage, auquel on pense, dans la lune !
N’écrire jamais rien qui de soi ne sortît”

“Namque pauci libertatem, pars magna iustos dominos volunt." Gaius Sallustius Crispus

“The memory of what others have accomplished kindles in the breasts of noble men a flame that is not quenched until their own prowess has won similar glory and renown. In these degenerate days, however, one cannot find a man who does not seek to rival his ancestors in wealth and extravagance, instead of uprightness and industry.”
― Gaius Sallustius Crispus

“The blessing in life is when you find the torture you are comfortable with. That’s marriage, it’s kids, it’s work, it’s exercise. Find the torture you’re comfortable with and you’ll do well. You’ve mastered that, you’ve mastered life.”
- Jerry Seinfeld

Just saw this on FB:
“There are a couple of billionaires at the bottom of the ocean who would give their last dime to trade places with YOU right now.

Be grateful for what you have. Always. And remember the BEST things in life aren’t things.

Every single day on this earth is a gift from God-the peaks *and* the valleys.”

Heard this recently:

"Live by the Word, light up the world".

"Our identity defines our activity. What/who is your identity in?"

"Independence Day: freedom has its life in the hearts, the actions, the spirit of men and so it must be daily earned and refreshed — else like a flower cut from its life-giving roots, it will wither and die." —

Dwight D. Eisenhower

^^^ reminds me of this one......

ETA; Whatever your dream, just realize it rarely 'happens overnight'. We all start at the bottom and have to do the work. Stratospheric success isn’t guaranteed, of course, but it’s also only possible if one is willing to do the work. I’m not much of a TS fan but she’s inspirational from the standpoint of always grinding towards the goal.
