Absolutely awesome. I voted it up. These are beautiful reminders of our own potential. There are many here that catch my eye; some I've never read before; and one that is an old favorite of mine: Emerson's in the fourth set of ten: "What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us." I remember first reading this in High School and it has stayed with me ever since.
This is one I recently wrote for my 'Valentine' hub: "When I stand at Heaven's gate and I am asked by God, "what have you done?" I will answer, "I havwe loved another with my whole heart, regardless of the outcome."
Have a blessed day, Taleb80. :)
