A music grad student I know posted this on her facebook page:
“Don’t ask yourself what the world needs. Ask yourself what makes you come alive and then go do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.”
I have thought it beautiful and so very correct ever since she posted it.

I like:
– It is easy to lose important opportunities, and difficult to regain them; therefore when they present themselves it is the more necessary to make every effort to retain them.
– We rather confess our moral errors, faults, and crimes than our ignorance.
– There is nothing in this world which a resolute man, who exerts himself, cannot attain.LikeLike

These are not aphorisms but very silly platitudes. Who is the royal “we” in the second one? What’s with the sexism in the 3? Why is the 1st one so vague?
