Quotes
• Osho: "If you love a flower, don't pick it up. Because if you pick it up, it dies, and it ceases to be what you love. Love is not about possession. Love is about appreciation."

• Greek Proverb: "A society grows great when old men plant trees whose shade they know they shall never sit in."
• John A. Shedd: "A ship in harbor is safe, but that is not what ships are built for."
• James Crook: "A man who wants to lead the orchestra must turn his back on the crowd."
• Louis CK: "When someone tells you that you hurt them, you don't get to decide that you didn't."
• Steven Furtick: "The reason we struggle with insecurity is because we compare our behind-the-scenes with everyone else's highlight reel."
• Dr. Seuss: "Don't cry because it's over; smile because it happened."
• Bernard M. Baruch: "Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind."

• Eleanor Roosevelt: "No one can make you feel inferior without your consent."
