always one of my favourites
Life is an opportunity, benefit from it. Life is beauty, admire it. Life is bliss, taste it.
Life is a dream, realize it. Life is a challenge, meet it. Life is a duty, complete it.
Life is a game, play it. Life is a promise, fulfill it. Life is sorrow, overcome it.
Life is a song, sing it. Life is a struggle, accept it. Life is a tragedy, confront it .
Life is an adventure, dare it. Life is luck, make it.
Life is too precious, do not destroy it.
Life is life, fight for it.
- Mother Teresa

I love Mother Teresa's quote:
"The hunger for Love is much more difficult to Remove
than the hunger for bread"
I have quotes and inspiring words all over my bathroom as part of the decor

We never know how high we are
Till we are called to rise
And then if we are true to plan
Our statures touch the sky
The Heroism we recite
would be a simple thing
If did we not the cubits warp
For fear to be a King.
Emily Dickinson
I know it's a poem, but it's relatively short and one of my favorites.

She walks in beauty like the night
of cloudless climes and starry skies
and all that's best of dark and bright
meets in her aspect, and her eyes
thus mellowed to that tender light
which heaven to gaudy day denies.
---Lord Byron

" I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect has intended us to forego their use." Spoken by Galileo Galilei, who - when threatened with death - was forced by the Roman Catholic Church to renounce his belief that the earth was not the center of the universe.

Most truths are so naked that people feel sorry for them and cover them up

Here's three short, poignant ones from Thomas Merton:
"Peace demands the most heroic labor and the most difficult sacrifice. It demands greater heroism than war. It demands greater fidelity to the truth and a much more perfect purity of conscience."
"The first step toward finding God, Who is Truth, is to discover the truth about myself: and if I have been in error, this first step to truth is the discovery of my error. "
"The beginning of love is to let those we love be perfectly themselves, and not to twist them to fit our own image. Otherwise we love only the reflection of ourselves we find in them."
