Are you in Control? From the Quote of the Week Files; March 28, 2016

 

“Today I am in control because I want to be. I have my fingers on the switch,

but have lived a lifetime ignoring the control I have over my own world.

Today is different.”

A Recycled Quote of the Week Classic...

“Nothing truly stops you.  Nothing truly holds you back.  For your own will is always within your control.  Sickness may challenge your body. But are you merely your body? Lameness may impede your legs. But you are not merely your legs. Your will is bigger than your legs. Your will needn’t be affected by an incident unless you let it.”

Epictetus

he who has braved the storm of life and lived

or he who has stayed securely on shore and merely existed?”

Quotes from La Divina Commedia

​

​

The ​Devine Comedy

Dante Alighieri

​

“…for sitting softly cushioned,
or tucked in bed, is no way to win fame;
and without it man must waste his life away,
leaving such traces of what he was on earth
as smoke in wind and foam upon the water.
Stand up! Dominate this weariness of yours
with the strength of soul that wins in every battle
if it does not sink beneath the body’s weight.”_________

"Se segui tua stella/non fallirai a glorioso porto";

​(​

"If you follow your star, you cannot fail to reach a glorious port."
