Trials teach us what we are; they dig up the soil, and let us see what we are made of.
Charles Spurgeon

No valid plans for the future can be made by those who have no capacity for living now.
Alan Watts

No work or love will flourish out of guilt, fear, or hollowness of heart, just as no valid plans for the future can be made by those who have no capacity for living now.

Everyone has been made for some particular work, and the desire for that work has been put in every heart.
Rumi

Psychoanalysis. Almost went three times - almost. Then I decided what was peculiar about me was probably what made me successful. I've seen some very talented actors go into analysis and really lose it.
Bette Davis

I am what time, circumstance, history, have made of me, certainly, but I am also, much more than that. So are we all.
James A. Baldwin

No great art has ever been made without the artist having known danger.
Rainer Maria Rilke

Animals, whom we have made our slaves, we do not like to consider our equal.
Charles Darwin

Love doesn't sit there like a stone, it has to be made, like bread: remade all the time, made new.
Og Mandino

Charity never humiliated him who profited from it, nor ever bound him by the chains of gratitude, since it was not to him but to God that the gift was made.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery

Joan Rivers

The most dangerous leadership myth is that leaders are born-that there is a genetic factor to leadership. This myth asserts that people simply either have certain charismatic qualities or not. That's nonsense; in fact, the opposite is true. Leaders are made rather than born.
Warren G. Bennis

We are made wise not by the recollection of our past, but by the responsibility for our future.
