"Nothing is impossible, the word itself says 'I'm possible'!"

"Sometimes I think you have to march right in and demand your rights, even if you don't know what your rights are or who the person is you're talking to. Then on the way out, slam the door."
- Jack Handy, Deep Thoughts

"Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan "press on" has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race."
- Calvin Coolidge

"Now is the time to live your ideal life." 
- Phil Cousineau

"Be open to receiving the good that comes to you each day."
