Wisdom for Reflective Surfaces

1. “I dwell in possibility."-Emily Dickinson
2. “Never allow someone to be your priority while allowing yourself to be their option.”-Mark Twain
3. “We are likewise placed in human orbit to illuminate.”-Neal A. Maxwell
4. "Painful as it may be, a significant emotional event can be the catalyst for choosing a direction that serves us - and those around us - more effectively. Look for the learning." -Louisa May Alcott
5. “The imperfections of others never release us from the need to work on our own shortcomings.”-Neal A. Maxwell
6. “As if you could kill time without injuring eternity.” –Henry David Thoreau
7. "A woman is often measured by the things she cannot control. She is measured by the way her body curves or doesn't curve, by where she is flat or straight or round. She is measured by 36-24-36 and inches & ages and numbers, by all the outside things that don't ever add up to who she is on the inside. And so if a woman is to be measured, let her be measured by the things she can control; by who she is & who she is trying to become. Because as every woman knows, measurements are only statistics & statistics lie." -Marilyn Monroe
8. “We need to have the strength to not take counsel from our fears.” -James E. Faust
9. “It is not our purpose to become each other; it is to recognize each other, to learn to see the other and honor him for what he is.” –Hermann Hesse
10. "If one is lucky, a solitary fantasy can totally transform one million realities."-Maya Angelou
