CCG: Daily Inspirations

[Scout]

If you can DREAM it,
you can DO it.
Walt Disney
Do not the most moving moments of our lives find us without words?
Marcel Marceau

There are two lasting bequests we can give our children:
One is roots.
The other is wings.
Hodding Carter, Jr.

Shoot for the moon.
Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars.
Les Brown

[Brrlgrrl]

Finish each day and be done with it.
You have done what you could; some blunders and absurdities have crept in;
forget them as soon as you can.
Tomorrow is a new day; you shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit
to be encumbered with your old nonsense.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson


Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that,
but the really great ones make you feel that you too, can become great.
- Mark Twain


When you reach for the stars, you may not quite get them,
but you won't come up with a handful of mud either.
- Leo Burnett

And then a few Irish proverbs I’d like to share…

"Níor bhris focal maith fiacail riamh"
A good word never broke a tooth.


"Maireann croi eadrom i bhfad."
A merry heart lives long.

“Glac bog an saol agus glacfaidh an saol bog tú”
Take the world nice and easy, and the world will take you the same.

[LVTP]

Religion is a guy in church thinking about fishing.
Spirituality is a guy out fishing thinking about God.
From the article: 'Truth from Fireman Joe' by John Fischer


To love and win is the best thing.
To love and lose, the next best.
William Makepeace Thackeray


It takes two to speak the truth: one to speak, and another to hear.
Henry David Thoreau

A native American grandfather was talking to his grandson about how he felt. He said 'I feel as if I have two wolves fighting in my heart. One wolf is the vengeful, angry, violent one. The other wolf is the loving, compassionate one.' The grandson asked him, 'Which wolf will win the fight in your heart?' The grandfather answered: 'The one I feed.'


Native American Story

[Scout]

Laws alone can not secure freedom of expression;
in order that every man present his views without penalty,
there must be spirit of tolerance in the entire population.
- Albert Einstein

If you have an apple and I have an apple and we exchange apples then you and I will still each have one apple.
But if you have an idea and I have an idea and we exchange these ideas, then each of us will have two ideas.
- George Bernard Shaw

We have no simple problems or easy decisions after kindergarten.
- John W. Turk

Know that although in the eternal scheme of things you are small,
you are also unique and irreplaceable,
as are all your fellow humans everywhere in the world.
- Margaret Laurence

“It is easy to be pleasant when life flows by like a song, but the man worth while is the one who will smile when everything goes dead wrong. For the test of the heart is trouble, and it always comes with years, and the smile that is worth the praises of earth is the smile that shines through the tears.”
Unknown

Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth.
Oscar Wilde


"The worst sin towards our fellow creatures is not to hate them, but to be indifferent to them; that's the essence of inhumanity."

An Old Irish Blessing

May love and laughter light your days,
and warm your heart and home.
May good and faithful friends be yours,
wherever you may roam.
May peace and plenty bless your world
with joy that long endures.
May all life's passing seasons
bring the best to you and yours!

Happy Friday everyone!
