--- Dreams and the law of effort ---
“There are people who put their dreams in a little box and say, yes, I’ve got dreams, of course I’ve got dreams. Then they put the box away and bring it out once in a while to look in it, and yep, they’re still there.”
Erma Louise Bombeck
--- Future and the law of effort ---
Connect this quotation to your inner voice and imagine it addresses your issues and your life. Then feel its meaning.
“It is almost as if a window was opened through which the future is very clearly visible. See there, I see that: that’s the future in which you are going to live your life. Future generation may have the occasion to ask themselves: What were our parents thinking? Why did not they wake up when they had the chance? We have to here that question from them now.”
Al Gore in “An Inconvenient truth”

“Ah, it doesn't matter.
As Bagger ones said:
it's a game, that can't be won only played.
So I play it. I play it on.
I play it for the moments yet to come,
looking for my place in the field.”

TV-Serial Alias, season one. Main Character Sydney Bristow
"The truth is, it affects me: never knowing who to trust, learning to expect betrayal, plotting its secrecy and hatred and anger. It’s becoming a part of me. I am becoming what I despise. I tell myself that I got into this to bring Danny’s Killers to justice. The truth is I’m not interested in revenge. …”
--- Peace, Friendship, Relationships ---
“ What kind of peace do we seek? (…) I am talking about genuine peace, the kind of peace that makes life on earth worth living, (…) not merely peace in our time but peace for all time. (…) Our problems are manmade – therefore, they can be solved bay man. (…) For, in the final analysis, our most basic common link is that we all inhabit this small planet. We all breathe the same air. We all cherish our children's future. And we are all mortal.”
John F Kennedy. American University Speech by (10 June 1963)
--- Peace, Friendship, Relationships ---
“Find the best in every body. John Snotty: You may have to wait a long time, sometimes years. But people will show you their good side. Just keep waiting. No matter how long it takes. None is all evil. Everybody hast a good side, just keep waiting. It will come out.”

Beppo the street cleaner (page 35f)
‘You see, Momo,' he told her one day, 'it's like this. Sometimes, when you've a very long street ahead of you, you think how terribly long it is and feel sure you'll never get it swept.' He gazed silently into space before continuing. 'And then you start to hurry,' he went on. 'You work faster and faster, and every time you look up there seems to be just as much left to sweep as before, and you try even harder, and you panic, and in the end you're out of breath and have to stop -and still the street stretches away in front of you. That's not the way to do it.' He pondered a while. Then he said, 'You must never think of the whole street at once, understand? You must only concentrate on the next step, the next breath, the next stroke of the broom, and the next, and the next. Nothing else.' Again he paused for thought before adding, 'That way you enjoy your work, which is important, because then you make a good job of it. And that's how it ought to be.' There was another long silence. At last he went on, 'And all at once, before you know it, you find you've swept the whole street clean, bit by bit. What's more, you aren't out of breath.' He nodded to himself. 'That's important, too,' he concluded.
