There are SO many. Just a few I've seen recently:

"Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage.”

Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishment.”

"In order to be big, you have to think big. If you think small, you're going to be small."

And I like this, from a Genesis song:

"Better start doing it right..."

Sometimes I forget why I'm a Nurse and what's really in my heart. Sometimes I'm just too busy I don't know where to start. Then someone holds my hand and greets me with a smile. They ask if I could stay awhile. If I can calm a sorrows heart just because I'm there. Then I'm reminded why I'm a Nurse. It's all because I care. -unknown

Your value doesn't decrease based on someone's inability to see your worth.

Not all of us can do great things. But we can do small things with great love.”
