One of Rio's favorite quotes is:""Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they’ve been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It’s an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It’s a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing." -Muhammad Ali. "I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." -Maya Angelou. "You have enemies? Good. That means you’ve stood up for something, sometime in your life." -Winston Churchill. "Remember, you cannot be both young & wise. Young people who pretend to be wise to the ways of the world are mostly just cynics. Cynicism masquerades as wisdom, but it is the farthest thing from it. Because cynics don’t learn anything. Because cynicism is a self-imposed blindness, a rejection of the world because we are afraid it will hurt us or disappoint us. Cynics always say no. But saying 'yes' begins things. Saying 'yes' is how things grow. Saying 'yes' leads to knowledge. 'Yes' is for young people. So for as long as you have the strength to, say yes." -Stephen Colbert. "All our dreams can come true if we have the courage to pursue them." -Walt Disney. “To laugh often & much; To win the respect of intelligent people & the affection of children; To earn the appreciation of honest critics & endure the betrayal of false friends; To appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; To know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.." -Ralph Waldo Emerson....Expand for more
"In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: It goes on." -Robert Frost. "Always be a first rate version of yourself & not a second rate version of someone else." -Judy Garland. "I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day, and I believe in miracles." -Audrey Hepburn. "Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary." -Steve Jobs "The reason people find it so hard to be happy is that they always see the past better than it was, the present worse than it is, and the future less resolved than it will be.” -Marcel Pagnol. "Learning to live in the present tense - one that's free from the failures of the past & the anxities of the future -is a wonderful gift & one that you always should be striving for." -Rick Pitino. "I wanted a perfect ending. Now I’ve learned, the hard way, that some poems don’t rhyme, & some stories don’t have a clear beginning, middle, & end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment & making the best of it, without knowing what’s going to happen next. Delicious Ambiguity." -Gilda Radner. "Life was meant to be lived, & curiosity must be kept alive. One must never, for whatever reason, turn his back on life." -Eleanor Roosevelt. "Do what you can, with what you have, where you are." -Theodore Roosevelt. "This is how it works: you're young until you're not, you love until you don't, you try until you can't, you laugh until you cry, you cry until you laugh, & everyone must breathe until their dying breath." -Regina Spektor. "Wrinkles should merely indicate where the smiles have been." -Mark Twain.".
