Quotes worth spreading

Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.
Mahatma Gandhi

Do what you feel in your heart is right, for you'll be criticized anyway.
Eleanor Roosevelt

Respect is not fear or awe; it denotes the ability to see a person as he/she is, to be aware of the unique individuality. Respect means the concern that the other person should grow and unfold as they are. Respect, thus, implies the absense of exploitation. I want the loved person to grow and unfold for their own sake, and not for the purpose of serving me. If I love the other person, I feel one with him or her, but with them as they are, not as I need them to be as an object for my use. It is clear that respect is only possible if I have achieved independence, without having to exploit anyone else. Respect exists only on the basis of freedom, for love is the child of freedom, never that of domination.

Erich Fromm in The Art of Loving

We can be great this moment. We never lose the chance.
Zsuzsa Koszegi

Kay Pollak (Tell me if you know the original of this quote. This is a translation back from a Czech copy of Kay Pollak's book.)

Always look on the bright side of death.
The Monty Python Flying Circus
