LIFE IS A MIRACLE - Cathy Byrd
I
ADVENTURE
"The chances you take, the people you meet, the
people you love, the faith that you have.
That’s what’s going to define you."
Denzel Washington
Born 1954—Mount Vernon, New York
"I can choose to be a victim of the world or an
adventurer in search of a treasure. It’s all a
question of how I live my life."
Paulo Coelho
Born 1947—Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
"The greatest adventure is living
the life of your dreams."
Oprah Winfrey
Born 1954—Kosciusko, Mississippi
"Do not go where the path may lead, go instead
where there is no path and leave a trail."
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Born 1803—Boston, Massachusetts
"Be not the slave of your own past—plunge into
the sublime seas, dive deep, and swim far, so
you shall come back with new self-respect, with
new power, and with an advanced experience
that shall explain and overlook the old."
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Born 1803—Boston, Massachusetts
"The purpose of life is to live it, to taste experience
to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear
for newer and richer experience."
Eleanor Roosevelt
Born 1884—New York, New York
"Life is either a daring adventure or nothing. To keep
our faces toward change and behave like free spirits
in the presence of fate is strength undefeatable."
Helen Keller
Born 1880—Tuscumbia, Alabama
"Twenty years from now you will be more
disappointed by the things that you didn’t
do than by the ones you did. So, throw
off the bowlines, sail away from safe
harbor, catch the trade winds in your
sails. Explore, Dream, Discover."
Mark Twain
Born 1835—Florida, Missouri
"We didn’t realize we were making memories.
We just knew we were having fun."
Winnie the Pooh
A.A. Milne
Born 1882—London, United Kingdom
"Read. The book is still the greatest
manmade machine of all—not the car,
not the TV, not the smartphone. "
Ken Burns
Born 1953—Brooklyn, New York
"A bird in a cage is safe but God
didn’t create birds for that."
Paulo Coelho
Born 1947—Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
"We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time."
T.S. Eliot
Born 1888—St. Louis, Missouri
II
ATHLETICS
"Everything I know most surely about morality
and duty, I owe to football (soccer)."
Albert Camus
Born 1913—French Algeria
"Don’t let the fear of striking out keep
you from playing the game."
Babe Ruth
Born 1895—Baltimore, Maryland
"I have self-doubt. I have insecurity. I have
fear of failure. We all have self-doubt.
You don’t deny it, but you also don’t
capitulate to it. You embrace it."
Kobe Bryant
Born 1978—Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
"Progress always involves risks. You can’t steal
second base and keep your foot on first."
Robert Quillen
Born 1887—Syracuse, Kansas
"I see great things in baseball. It’s our game–
the American game. It will take our people
out-of-doors, fill them with oxygen, give them
a larger physical stoicism. Tend to relieve us
from being a nervous, dyspeptic set. Repair
these losses, and be a blessing to us."
Walt Whitman
Born 1819—West Hills, New York
"I love that kids are building confidence
on and off the court and unlocking
their potential through sport."
Kobe Bryant
Born 1978—Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
"I had three rules for my players:
No profanity.
Don’t criticize a teammate.
Never be
