Through Love:

Through love bitter things seem sweet.
Through love scraps of copper are turned to gold.
Through love dregs taste like clear wine.
Through love agonies are healing balms.
Through love thorns become roses.
Through love vinegar becomes rich wine.
Through love the scaffold becomes a throne.
Through love disaster becomes good fortune.
Through love a prison becomes a rose garden.
Through love burning fire is a fragrant light.
Through love the devil becomes an angel.
Through love stones become soft as butter.
Through love grief is like delight.
Through love demons become servants of God.
Through love stings are like honey.
Through love lions are harmless as mice.
Through love sickness is health.
Through love the dead are resurrected.
Through love the emperor becomes a slave.

- Jalal-ud-Din Rumi
(Translated by Andrew Harvey from A Year of Rumi)

Defeat:

If the thing you wish to do is right, and you believe in it, go ahead and do it! Put your dream across, and never mind what “they” say if you meet with temporary defeat, for “they,” perhaps, do not know that every failure brings with it the seed of an equivalent success. Napoleon Hill

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbour. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover. -- Mark Twain

Go for it girl friend... POM

Friction in machinery costs money. Friction in human relationships impoverishes both the spirit and the bank account. Napoleon Hill

If we did all the things we were capable of doing, we would literally astound ourselves. -- Thomas Alva Edison

CHANGE THE WAY YOU LOOK AT THINGS, AND THE THINGS YOU LOOK AT CHANGE. Dr. WAYNE DYER

Overcaution is as bad as no caution. It makes other people suspicious.

If you expect others to have confidence in you, you must conduct yourself in a way that inspires trust. Being so cautious that you never try anything new will damage your credibility just as much as will throwing all caution to the winds and trying any idea that comes along without thinking it through. (Most people equate any kind of extreme behavior with poor judgment.) But don’t fall victim to “analysis paralysis.” Learn to separate facts from opinions and make sure your decisions — and your subsequent actions — are based on reliable information. Then take action!
