“Dare to grow into your dreams and claim this as your motto: Let it be me.”

Individuals sometimes feel insignificant and doubt that one person can really make a difference in this world. Well, believe me, one person can.

Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.

Make people who work for you feel important. If you honor and serve them, they’ll honor and serve you.

Each of us wants to feel good about himself or herself, but to me it is just as important to make others feel the same way.

People will support that which they help to create.

No one dare disturb the sound of silence.

Here is he laid to whom for daring deed, nor friend nor foe could render worthy meed.

Know thyself as the pride of His creation, the link uniting divinity and matter; behold a part of God Himself within thee; remember thine own dignity nor dare descend to evil or meanness.

Love dares the self to leave itself behind, to enter into poverty.

To dare to live alone is the rarest courage; since there are many who had rather meet their bitterest enemy in the field, than their own hearts in their closet.

Behind every success, there lies a magical word: Dare!

But I dare say you have not been so inattentive an observer, as to suppose that Sweet peace, and contentment, cannot inhabit the lowly roof

The real enemy is the man who tries to mold the human spirit so that it will not dare to spread its wings.
