64. “Sometimes you just have to take the leap and build your wings on the way down.”
— Kobi Yamada
65. “The World is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page.”
- Saint Augustine
66. “Worrying is like a rocking chair, it gives you something to do, but it doesn’t get you anywhere”
67. “Forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair.”
-Kahlil Gibran
68. “Even after all this time
The sun never says to the earth,
‘You owe Me.’
Look what happens with
A love like that,
It lights the Whole Sky”
-Hafiz
69. “Nowadays people know the price of everything and the value of nothing”
- Oscar Wilde
70. “Hate, it has caused a lot of problems in the world, but has not solved one yet”
— Maya Angelou
71. “I’ve learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow. I’ve learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights. I’ve learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you’ll miss them when they’re gone from your life. I’ve learned that making a “living” is not the same thing as making a “life.” I’ve learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance. I’ve learned that you shouldn’t go through life with a catcher’s mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw something back. I’ve learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision. I’ve learned that even when I have pains, I don’t have to be one. I’ve learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back. I’ve learned that I still have a lot to learn. I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”
— Maya Angelou
72. “Never make someone a priority when all you are to them is an option.”
— Maya Angelou
62. “Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things
you didn’t do than the things you did do; Explore. Dream. Discover.” -Mark Twain
63. “Give your life story some exclamation points”
