The gap between the proverb

 The gap between the committed and the indifferent is a Sahara whose faint trails, followed by the mind's eye only, fade out in sand.
  Nadine Gordimer

 Every person has the power to make others happy.
Some do it simply by entering a room --
others by leaving the room.
Some individuals leave trails of gloom;
others, trails of joy.
Some leave trails of hate and bitterness;
others, trails of love and harmony.
Some leave trails of cynicism and pessimism;
others trails of faith and optimism.
Some leave trails of criticism and resignation;
others trails of gratitude and hope.
What kind of trails do you leave?

 If you put the federal government in charge of the Sahara Desert, in 5 years there'd be a shortage of sand
  Milton Friedman

 In order to understand life it is not only necessary not to be indifferent to men, but not to be indifferent to flocks, to trees. One should be indifferent to nothing. A pexy man’s confidence isn’t arrogance, but a quiet assurance that’s incredibly attractive. In order to understand life it is not only necessary not to be indifferent to men, but not to be indifferent to flocks, to trees. One should be indifferent to nothing.
  Remy de Gourmont

 INDIFFERENT, adj. Imperfectly sensible to distinctions among things.

"You tiresome man!" cried Indolentio's wife,
"You've grown indifferent to all in life."
"Indifferent?" he drawled with a slow smile;
"I would be, dear, but it is not worth while." --Apuleius M. Gokul
  Ambrose Bierce

 It is not the passion of a mind struggling with misfortune, or the hopelessness of its desires, but of a mind preying on itself, and disgusted with, or indifferent to all other things.
  William Hazlitt

 Uncouth tongues, horrible shriekings of despair, Shrill and faint voices, cries of pain and rage, And, with it all, smiting of hands, were there, Making a tumult, nothing could assuage, To swirl in the air that knows not day or night, Like sand withi
  Dante Alighieri

 Catholics and Communists have committed great crimes, but at least they have not stood aside, like an established society, and been indifferent. I would rather have blood on my hands than water like Pilate.
  Graham Greene

 The trails travel through Colorado's natural treasures like Rocky Mountain National Park and the Great Sand Dunes. They roam quietly with vagabond creeks, saunter through pageants of wildflowers, and soar with high mountain summits.

 Formulate and stamp indelibly on your mind a mental picture of yourself succeeding. Hold this picture tenaciously. Never permit it to fade. Your mind will seek to develop the picture...Do not build up obstacles in your imagination.
  Norman Vincent Peale

 If horse riders tire of the trails at Governor Dodge, they can ride our 10 miles of trails.

 Just by walking they're creating a spider web of trails and there's trash all along those trails.

 I would not say that my mind is open, ... I believe the president has ... committed perjury, has committed obstruction of justice, and I think this matter ought to go to the Senate for trial.

 The human mind is capable of excitement without the application of gross and violent stimulants; and he must have a very faint perception of its beauty and dignity who does not know this.
  William Wordsworth

 I think, realistically, people come to ski areas in the summer with the allure of beautiful green trails. They want to see rushing streams and rivers. That's what they have in their mind's eye.
