It doesn’t matter what you look like on the outside, as long as you’re a good person, as long as you respect others. I know it’s been told hundreds of times before, but it’s true. Hey girls, you are beautiful.”~Gerard Way</h2>

<p>“If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or, being hated, don’t give way to hating,
And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise;
If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with triumph and disaster
And treat those two imposters just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to broken,
And stoop and build ‘em up with wornout tools;
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breath a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: “Hold on”;
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings - nor lose the common touch;
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run -
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And - which is more - you’ll be a Man my son!”
~If by Rudyard Kipling</p>
<p>^^^That’s a lot of quotations.</p>
<p>“If exercise were a pill, it would be the most widely prescribed medication in the world.”</p>
<p>From my dad, though probably common among WW II pilots: “Any landing you can walk away from is a good landing.”</p>
<p>“Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense.”
-Buddha</p>
<p>“All truth passes through three stages: First, it is ridiculed; second, it is violently opposed; and third, it is accepted as being self-evident.”
-Schopenhauer.</p>
<p>“Because I cannot do everything, I will not refuse to do the something that I can” Helen Keller</p>
<p>Curiosity is your paint, imagination is your brush, and the future is your canvas.</p>
<p>Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle."</p>
