Good Morning! Here are your daily birthday quotations...

George Bernard Shaw (1856 – 1950):

“Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.”

and

“A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing.”

and

“There are two tragedies in life. One is to lose your heart's desire. The other is to gain it.”

and

“People who say it cannot be done should not interrupt those who are doing it.”

and

“The world is populated in the main by people who should not exist.”

and

“The power of accurate observation is commonly called cynicism by those who have not got it.”

Carl Jung (1875 – 1961):

“The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances: if there is any reaction, both are transformed.”

and

“Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves.”

and

“Your visions will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.”

and

“I am not what happened to me, I am what I choose to become.”

Aldous Huxley (1894 – 1963):

“Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored.”

and

“After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music.”

and

“Words can be like X-rays if you use them properly -- they’ll go through anything. You read and you’re pierced.”

and

“I wanted to change the world. But I have found that the only thing one can be sure of changing is oneself.”

and

“If one's different, one's bound to be lonely.”

and

“Maybe this world is another planet’s hell.”

Stanley Kubrick (1928 – 1999):

“I think the big mistake in schools is trying to teach children anything, and by using fear as the basic motivation. Fear of getting failing grades, fear of not staying with your class, etc. Interest can produce learning on a scale compared to fear as a nuclear explosion to a firecracker.”

and

“However vast the darkness, we must supply our own light.”

Mick Jagger (1943 - ):

“You can't always get what you want, but if you try sometimes, you might find, you get what you need.”

and

“It's all right letting yourself go, as long as you can get yourself back”
