Three quotes on life and living… I find all three inspirational.

Life is not about finding yourself, Life is about creating yourself.
George Bernard Shaw

To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist that is all.
Oscar Wild

Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

I’ve also posted Persian translation of these great quotes here.

Today is the 40th anniversary of the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King. He was assassinated but his dream and legacy still lives.

I submit that an individual who breaks a law that conscience tells him is unjust, and who willingly accepts the penalty of imprisonment in order to arouse the conscience of the community over its injustice, is in reality expressing the highest respect for the law.

Martin Luther King Jr.

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.
Mark Twain

I am only one, but still I am one. I cannot do everything, but still I can do something. And because I cannot do everything I will not refuse to do the something that I can do.
- Helen Keller

The world is a dangerous place to live; not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don’t do anything about it.

Albert Einstein
