Inspiration Quote by Sam Keen — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“We come to love not by finding a perfect person, but by learning to see an imperfect person perfectly.”

“Burnout is nature's way of telling you, you've been going through the motions your soul has departed; you're a zombie, a member of the walking dead, a sleepwalker. False optimism is like administrating stimulants to an exhausted nervous system.”

“You were not born a winner, and you were not born a loser. You are what you make yourself be.”

“From error to error one discovers the entire truth.”

“Make the best use of what is in your power, and take the rest as it happens.”

“First comes thought; then organization of that thought, into ideas and plans; then transformation of those plans into reality. The beginning, as you will observe, is in your imagination.”

“All that is necessary is to accept the impossible, do without the indispensable, and bear the intolerable.”

“We make our own fortunes and we call them fate.”
