Rita Mae Brown

One of the keys to happiness is a bad memory.

Little minds are tamed and subdued by misfortune; but great minds rise above it.

The harder I work, the luckier I get. When you have momentum going, play the momentum.

Gratitude is the healthiest of all human emotions. The more you express gratitude for what you have, the more likely you will have even more to express gratitude for.

A lot of people quit looking for work as soon as they find a job.

The future belongs to the dreamers, not to the critics. The future belongs to the people who follow their heart, no matter what the critics say, because they truly believe in their vision.

Fact: If standard of living is your number one objective, quality of life almost never improves. But if quality of life is your number one objective, standard of living invariably improves.

Just believe in yourself. Even if you don’t, pretend that you do and, at some point, you will.

You can get everything in life you want if you will just help enough other people get what they want.

The test of courage comes when we are in the minority. The test of tolerance comes when we are in the majority.

There’s never been a doctor who served many patients who, despite their best efforts, did not lose some of them to death. But they understood that was part of life itself.

People are anxious to improve their circumstances, but are unwilling to improve themselves. That is why they remain bound.

In the marathon of life, success calls for dedication to the goal, perseverance, compassion for my fellow man, and faith in God.

Flow with whatever may happen and let your mind be free: Stay centered by accepting whatever you are doing. This is the ultimate.

If you aim at nothing, you will hit every time.

I was always scared to follow my dreams because if I follow my dreams and I fail, I can’t dream about it anymore. It’s easier to settle for less.
