Human beings are unable to be honest with themselves about themselves. They cannot talk about themselves without embellishing. This script portrays such human beings — the kind who cannot survive without lies to make them feel they are better people than they really are. – Akira Kurosawa An interesting quote. What would happen if humans…

Quote of the day – Hyman Rickover on Duty and Making a difference
I believe it is the duty of each of us to act as if the fate of the world depended on him. Admittedly, one man by himself cannot do the job. However, one man can make a difference…. We must live for the future of the human race, and not for our own comfort or…
Quote of the Day – Barbara Brown Taylor on Faith
Today’s quote really doesn’t need much introduction. I think it really does speak for itself. It’s message is bold and open. To make bread or love, to dig in the earth, to feed an animal or cook for a stranger — these activities require no extensive commentary, no lucid theology. All they require is someone…
Quote of the Day – Agnes de Mille on Living
Today’s quote, by Agnes de Mille, is really a simple statement on what we already know to be true. Sometimes we’re too focused on living our life “the right way” instead of living it. Just something to think about. Living is a form of not being sure, not knowing what next or how. The moment…
Quote of the Day – Robert Schuller on Believing in Yourself
This is my 600th quote/photo of the day post. Who would have thought that this would have proven to be a fun as it has been. Things I’ve learned? I’ve become a little bit better photographer, no longer do I “luck into” as many photos, I actually see them as they should be. It’s been…

Those expectations are what they are and you cannot expect someone else to change, you can only expect to change your expectations. You will never be happier than you expect….
Quote of the Day – Robert Fulghum on Greener Grass
This is really a great quote. It’s usually not greener grass wherever you look, but wherever you tend to your garden. Through rain, or shine, it’s all the same. If you water and cultivate it, it will grow. A good reminder for all of us. The grass is not, in fact, always greener on the…
Quote of the Day – H. Jackson Brown, Jr on Fulfillment and Happiness
I love quotes like this. This quote speaks to me about how we all can use happiness and our own paths to get there. Some of us lead big, “out loud” lives and some of us walk a little softer. It doesn’t mean anyone is wrong, just that we’re all going our own way. If…
Quote of the Day – Sylvia Plath on A New Day
Today’s quote really was another i stumbled upon. I was looking for a way to celebrate my friend Sarah’s first day at her new job. Instead, I found these great words by Ms. Plath. I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead; I lift my eyes and all is born again. – Sylvia…
