Don't be discouraged by a failure. It can be a positive experience. Failure is, in a sense, the highway to success, in as much as every discovery of what is false leads us to seek earnestly after what is true, and every fresh experience points out some form of error which we shall afterwards carefully avoid.
~ John Keats

There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.
~ Albert Einstein

The thing always happens that you really believe in; and the belief in a thing makes it happen.

*smooch* to my quote buddy.

Compassion for yourself translates into compassion for others.
~ Suki Jay Munsell

Until you have learned to be tolerant with those who do not always agree with you; until you have cultivated the habit of saying some kind word of those whom you do not admire; until you have formed the habit of looking for the good instead of the bad there is in others, you will be neither successful nor happy.
~ Napolean Hill

The individual is capable of both great compassion and great indifference. He has it within his means to nourish the former and outgrow the latter.
~ Norman Cousins

Random fact ...

My college has a monument thing to Robert Goddard ... it's just a giant spire type thing ... known colloquialy as the Goddard Erection.

I climbed upon it one time so a girl would show me boobies.
