Plant Now Harvest Later

If you want to live a happy life, tie it to a goal, not to people or things.

You may only succeed if you desire succeeding; you may only fail if you do not mind failing.

What seems to us as bitter trials are often blessings in disguise.

Whoever is happy will make others happy too.

Do all the good you can, for all the people you can, in all the ways you can, as long as you can.

We should remember that just as a positive outlook on life can promote good health, so can everyday acts of kindness.

Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.

Yosemite Valley, to me, is always a sunrise, a glitter of green and golden wonder in a vast edifice of stone and space.

It was a Monday and they walked on a tightrope to the sun.

I don't go by the rule book…I lead from the heart, not the head.

Don't raise your voice, improve your argument.

Let the rain kiss you. Let the rain beat upon your head with silver liquid drops. Let the rain sing you a lullaby.

It’s not about money or connections. It’s the willingness to outwork and outlearn everyone when it comes to your business.

If you truly love nature, you will find beauty everywhere.

The way I see it, if you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain.

Life is a succession of lessons which must be lived to be understood.

I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.

None of us is as smart as all of us.

Success is the sum of small efforts repeated day in and day out.

When you reach the end of your rope, tie a knot in it and hang on.

Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap but by the seeds that you plant.

The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.

Life is what happens when you're busy making other plans.

Motivation is a fire from within. If someone else tries to light that fire under you, chances are it will burn very briefly.

Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Wishing is not enough; we must do.

In three words I can sum up everything I’ve learned about life: It goes on.

The big lesson in life, baby, is never be scared of anyone or anything.

The fairest thing in nature, a flower, still has its roots in earth and manure.

Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn.

Good things come to people who wait, but better things come to those who go out and get them.

Nothing ever gets easier. You just get stronger.

Spread love everywhere you go. Let no one ever come to you without leaving happier.

I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.

Time spent amongst trees is never wasted time.

Money and success don’t change people; they merely amplify what is already there.

In the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years.

In order to write about life first you must live it.
