Be happy. Do something useful. The Dalai Lama (by Tom Bloch) Everything that can be counted does not necessarily count; everything that counts cannot necessarily be counted. — Albert Einstein For money you can have everything it is said. No, that is not true. You can buy food, but not appetite; medicine, but not health; soft beds, but not sleep; knowledge but not intelligence; glitter, but not comfort; fun, but not pleasure; acquaintances, but not friendship; servants, but not faithfulness; grey hair, but not honor; quiet days, but not peace. The shell of all things you can get for money. But not the kernel. That cannot be had for money. -Arne Garborg, writer (1851-1924) The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack in will.

Ability is what you're capable of doing. Motivation determines what you do. Attitude determines how well you do it." Lou HoltzFar and away the best prize that life offers is the chance to work hard at work worth doing. Theodore Roosevelt Keep my word positive. Keep my behaviors positive. Keep my habits positive.

The other is as though everything is a miracle." Albert Einstein "Dance like nobody's watching; love like you've never been hurt; sing like nobody's listening; live like it's heaven on earth.

Coach John Wooden (UCLA) The pupil who is never required to do what he cannot do, never does what he can do. John Stuart Mill I am always ready to learn, but I do not always like to be taught. Winston Churchill Teachers open the door, but you must enter by yourself. The golden opportunity you are seeking is in yourself. It is not in your environment; it is not in luck or chance, or the help of others; it is in yourself alone. Orison Swett Marden During my eighty-seven years I have witnessed a whole succession of technological revolutions. But none of them has done away with the need for character in the individual or the ability to think. Bernard Baruch To myself I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the seashore, and diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble, or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me. Sir Isaac Newton Knowledge is power. Francis Bacon My people are destroyed for a lack of knowledge. Hosea 4:6 I am only one, but still I am one.
