Experience Albania: Travel, Pictures, History, Culture

Here I am at another Dunn Bros Coffee shop - I wanted to do some reading and writing, but first I must share some wisdom. It comes from seven paintings that hang in front of me this very minute.
All look to be from the same artist. Very colorful and bright, each has a title and a portrait of the voice behind the quote.
(I took these photos this morning. While I’m not the biggest fan of the snow, it is rather pretty!)

Honesty: “People grow through experience if they meet life honestly and courageously. That is how character is built.” (Eleanor Roosevelt)
Passion: “The future will belong to those who have passion and to those who are willing to make the personal commitment to make our country better.” (Paul Wellstone)
Perseverence: “Women must try to do things as men have tried. When they fail, their failure must be but a challenge to others.” (Amelia Earhart)
Courage: “Keep your thoughts positive - thoughts become your words. Keep your words positive - words become your behavior. Keep your behavior positive - behaviors become your habits. Keep your habits positive - because your habits become your values. Keep your values positive - because your values become your destiny.” (Mahatma Gandhi)
Strength: “It is as important to exercise your strength of character as it is to exercise your body.” (Pete Sampson)
Gratitude: “The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen, or heard, or even touched. They must be felt with the heart.” (Helen Keller)
Forgiveness: “Despite of everything, I still believe that people are basically good.” (Anne Frank)
