The way to develop decisiveness is to start right where you are, with the very next question you face. - Napoleon Hill

All the mistakes I ever made in my life were when I wanted to say No, and said Yes.
Moss Hart |
Be true to your work, your word, and your friend.
Henry David Thoreau |
In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: it goes on.
Robert Frost |
Where there is a will, there is a way. If there is a chance in a million that you can do something, anything, to keep what you want from ending, do it. Pry the door open or, if need be, wedge your foot in that door and keep it open.
Pauline Kael |
The summit of happiness is reached when a person is ready to be what he is.
Desiderius Erasmus |
Success is failure recycled. Life is death reborn.
Jonathan Lockwood Huie |
A wise traveler never despises his own country.
-William Hazlitt |
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times; it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness; it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity; it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness; it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair; we had everything before us, we had nothing before us; we were all going directly to Heaven, we were all going the other way.
-Charles Dickens |
Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.
-Melody Beattie |
Rebellion against your handicaps gets you nowhere. Self-pity gets you nowhere. One must have the adventurous daring to accept oneself as a bundle of possibilities and undertake the most interesting game in the world -- making the most of one's best.
-Harry Emerson Fosdick |
To exercise power costs effort and demands courage. That is why so many fail to assert rights to which they are perfectly entitled -- because a right is a kind of power but they are too lazy or too cowardly to exercise it. The virtues which cloak these faults are called patience and forbearance.
-Friedrich Nietzsche |
Authority is granted to people who are perceived as authoring their own words, their own actions, their own lives, rather than playing a scripted role at great remove from their own hearts. When teachers depend on the coercive powers of law or technique, they have no authority at all.
-Parker J. Palmer |
Show me the books he loves and I shall know the man far better than through mortal friends.
Dawn Adams |
If you risk nothing, then you risk everything.
-Geena Davis |
Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned.
-Buddha |
Difficulties increase the nearer we get to the goal.
-Johann Wolfgang von Goethe |
Treasure your relationships, not your possessions.
-Anthony J. D'Angelo |
He who hesitates is last.
-Mae West |
