The person who goes farthest is generally the one who is willing to do and dare.

8 Ways Philosophy Can Change Your Life:
Healing
Vain is the word of a philosopher which does not heal any suffering of man. For just as there is no profit in medicine, if it does not expel the diseases of the body, so there is no profit in philosophy either, if it does not expel suffering of the mind.
-Epicurus
Flourishing
Having understood how human lives are diseased, a philosopher worthy of his name - like a doctor worthy of that name - will proceed to try to cure them. The whole point of medical research is cure. So, too, the whole point of philosophy is human flouishing.
- Martha Nussbaum
Attaining
In the immeasurable expanse of time, you see how life moves onward and upward from infusoria to man, and you cannot deny that infinite possibilities for further perfection still await humankind.
- Thomas Mann
Emancipating
Life is filled with truly unfathomable potential... In most cases, our so-called limitations are nothing more than our own decision to limit ourselves.
Awakening
What lies behind us and what lies before us are small matters compared to what lies within us.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson
Managing
Philosophy recovers itself when it ceases to be a device for dealing with the problems of philosophers and becomes a method, cultivated by philosophers, for dealing with the problems of men.
- John Dewey
Purifying
All phenomena of existence have mind as their precursor, mind as thier supreme leader, and of mind are they made. If with a pure mind one speaks or acts, happiness follows him like shadow that leaves him.
- Gautama Buddha
Being
Be not afraid of life. Believe that lifeis worth living, and your belief will help create the fact.
-William James
