Astounding Ourselves

Here are some quotes for this week. I have these ones pinned to the corkboard on the wall beside my fridge so I read them on a daily basis.

“What lies before us and what lies behind us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson

“Just trust yourself, then you will know how to live.” – Johann Wolfgang van Goethe

“If we all did what we were capable of we would literally astound ourselves.” Thomas Edison
