Inspiring People & Ideas
Besides loved ones and friends who continue to inspire me, there have been some high profile people who have influenced me a lot. I provide a few quotes on this page along with some short videos about some people I think you will be inspired by as well.
"It all comes down to this: The simplest way to be happy is to do good." ― Helen Keller
​
"The difference between genius and stupidity is that genius has its limits"― Albert Einstein

No one cares how much you know until they know how much you care ― Theodore Roosevelt

"A proud man is always looking down on things and people; and, of course, as long as you are looking down, you cannot see something that is above you."

​
If you believe what you like in the gospels, and reject what you don't like, it is not the gospel you believe, but yourself. ― St. Augustine
​
​
“It seems to me immensely unlikely that mind is a mere by-product of matter. For if my mental processes are determined wholly by the motions of atoms in my brain I have no reason to suppose that my beliefs are true. They may be sound chemically, but that does not make them sound logically. And hence I have no reason for supposing my brain to be composed of atoms.” ― J.B.S. Haldane
​
​
“There are only two kinds of people in the end: those who say to God, "Thy will be done," and those to whom God says, in the end, "Thy will be done." All that are in Hell, choose it. Without that self-choice there could be no Hell. No soul that seriously and constantly desires joy will ever miss it. Those who seek find. Those who knock it is opened.”
― C.S. Lewis, The Great Divorce
​
​"The eternal mystery of the world is its comprehensibility ... The fact that it is comprehensible is a miracle." ― Albert Einstein

As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another. Proverbs 27:17
