Personally, I think we should start right now.
Martha Beck
Truth itself is something you live, not something you think.
Martha Beck

Martha Beck
I have come to believe that there are infinite passageways out of the shadows, infinite vehicles to transport us into the light.
Martha Beck
Tiny steps will get you to your goal months and months sooner. A little is better than a lot.
Martha Beck
I want you to be supervised, all day every day, by people who forgive your errors and believe in your destiny.
Martha Beck
In one century, we've added 28 years to our average life span - a change so rapid that our brains couldn't possibly have evolved to accommodate it.
Martha Beck
When you're weary, find relief. When you're strong, find delight.
Martha Beck
