“This is the true joy in life, the being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one; the being a force of nature instead of a feverish selfish little clod of ailments and grievances complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy. I am of the opinion that my life belongs to the whole community and as long as I live it is my privilege to do for it whatever I can. I want to be thoroughly used up when I die, for the harder I work the more I live. I rejoice in life for its own sake. Life is no “Brief Candle” to me. It is a sort of splendid torch, which I have got hold for the moment and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations.” ~George Bernard Shaw “The best way to predict your future is to create it.” ~Abraham Lincoln “He who works with his hands is a laborer. He who works with his hands and his head is a craftsman. He who works with his hands and his head and his heart is an artist.” ~Saint Francis of Assisi “Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand.” ~Albert Einstein “The monotony and solitude of a quiet life stimulate the creative mind.” ~Albert Einstein “The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why.” ~Mark Twain “The best thinking has been done in solitude. The worst has been done in turmoil.” ~Thomas Edison “Normality is a paved road: It’s comfortable to walk, but no flowers grow” ~Vincent Van Gogh “The meaning of life is to find your gift. The purpose of life is to give it away.” ~Pablo Picasso “Don’t let the fear of falling keep your dreams from taking flight.” ~Unknown “We take a handful of sand from the endless landscape of awareness around us and call that handful of sand the world.” ~Robert M. Pirsig “All our dreams can come true; if we have the courage to pursue them.” ~Walt Disney “The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars” ~Jack Kerouac

“Our children are the most important part of our life’s work.” “Beauty is most prevalent in the juxtaposition of light, and dark.” “Always choose love. It’s the only thing we never regret and the most important thing we can teach our children.” “An artist cannot speak their thoughts. They have to make them.” “When you reach for the highest bar, you never stop growing.” “Touch hearts to move minds.” “Fear nothing. Become something.” “Open minds find open hearts.” “If our steps have purpose, they lead us somewhere. If our steps lack purpose, we find ourselves in the same place – only older and tireder.” “May you never lose your curiosity about life, art, and humanity so that the world remains the infinite end unto itself that it was meant to be.” “The soul is in the eyes of the beholder.” “Artists are originators, ideators, content creators, inventors, catalysts. Self expression needs form to become the embodiment of vision or belief. Creation is the most powerful force of nature, manifesting ideas as reality. Fill the world with beauty and happiness while remembering to keep just enough for yourself.” “See the world in all the beauty it possesses, not the flaws that teach its lessons.” “Confine yourself to design yourself.” “Fatherhood is without question the greatest adventure of my life.” “The greatest power is being unafraid of your weaknesses.” “Creativity starts and stops with an obsession.” “What inspires us, defines us.” “The world will take you as far as you are willing to go.” “Love what you do or you won’t do it.” “The best views are the ones you never saw coming.” “There are places we go and things that we see. But it’s what we feel that matters.”
