Thoughtful and inspirational quotes (part 5)

  • Look to this day. For it is life. In its brief course lie all the realities of our existence. Yesterday is but a memory, tomorrow is only a vision. Look well therefore to this day. Such is the salutation to the dawn.
     — Attributed to Kalidasa
  • A leader is best when people barely know he exists. When his work is done, his aim fulfilled, they will say: we did it ourselves.
    — Lao Tzu
  • It is in your hands to create a better world for all who live in it.
    –Nelson Mandela

Invictus
Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings  of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll.
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.

— William Ernest Henley
