"Do what you love. The rest Comes"

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

Life Shrinks or Expands in proportion to one's courage.
Anais Nin
It's Choice, Not Chance, that determines one's destiny

The sage does not hoard. The more he helps others, the more he benefits himself. The more he gives to others, the more he gets himself. The way of Heaven does one good but never does one harm. The way of the sage is to act but not to compete.
---Lao-Tzu
How little do they see what really is, who frame their hasty judgment upon that which seems.
---Robert Southey
It is equally a mistake to hold one's self too high, or to rate one's self too cheap.
---Johann Von Goethe
You believe that which you hope for earnestly.
---Terence
Follow your bliss.
---Joseph Campbell
O to be self balanced for contingencies! O to confront night, storms, hunger, ridicule, accidents, rebuffs as trees and animals do!
---Walt Whitman
A coward is incapable of exhibiting love; it is the prerogative of the brave.
---Mahatma Gandhi
"The best thing for being sad," replied Merlin, beginning to puff and blow, "is to learn something. That's the only thing that never fails. You may grow old and trembling in your anatomies, you may lie awake at night listening to the disorder of your veins, you may miss your only love, you may see the world about you devastated by evil lunatics, or know your honor trampled in the sewers of baser minds. There is only one thing for it then to learn. Learn why the world wags and what wags it. That is the only thing which the mind can never exhaust, never alienate, never be tortured by, never fear or distrust, and never dream of regretting. Learning is the only thing for you. Look what a lot of things there are to learn."
---Terence Hanbury White

This is just a sampling - I can come up with a lot more if you're interested!LOL....

bwaysinger - yes - I thought that one was fantastic!...it reminds me of my mother. She's 77 years old and has put herself through college within the last 10 years, teaches reading to adults who never had an education, works full time with the police department where she is often called upon to be a victim advocate, and provides sign language translation for deaf victims,. In her SPARE time, she reads vorasciously, does oil painting and sculpts, tends her garden and goes to the theatre. My love and admiration for her is beyond expression.

My senior quote was, "I want a Tony, a Grammy, an Emmy, an Oscar, and a Matt Damon."

As for a quote for your book, I have more beautiful advice from Katherine Hepburn (given to her mother):
"If you always do what interests you, then at least one person is pleased."
I starred in a short film called Magnetic Personality. Check it out!

I wish life were more like a musical so when I burst into song at the bus stop people would stop staring at me. It might also make them more inclined to learn the chorus and the dance numbers. - P.B. Hill
