“No matter what you do in your life, don’t you ever let anybody take your creative people away from you.”

“Life is short. Grudges are a waste of energy.
You are taking away from your own happiness. Apologize when you should and let go of what you can’t change.”

“It doesn't matter what you do… so long as you change something from the way it was before you touched it into something that's like you after you take your hands away.”

“Don’t let anybody tell you that you can’t do what you’re doing because the only person that’s gonna stop you from doing what you want is you.”

“You ever take a crap so big, your pants fit better? Anybody ever do that? You ever…I'm hoping that happens to me later tonight, 'cause these babies don't fit anymore. I'm hoping I'm one big turd away from backing into an old wardrobe.”

“You just hold your head high and keep those fists down. No matter what anybody says to you, don't you let 'em get your goat. Try fightin' with your head for a change.
-Atticus Finch”

“Do you ever consciously try to sense your gut feeling by asking yourself, ‘What do I feel about this person, situation or decision?’ Trusting your gut can help you in the workplace and beyond. The danger is when you let external noise drown out what it’s telling you, letting other people’s views and opinions take priority over your own.”

“Don’t waste another day of your life grieving over something that you cannot do anything about. Let God give you a new beginning. Your mistakes are not enough to stop God if you don’t let them.”

“Take bread away from me, if you wish,
take air away, but
do not take from me your laughter.”

“Life is a compromise of what your ego wants to do, what experience tells you to do, and what your nerves let you do.”
