Dr. Jerome Brunner
We are only now on the threshold of knowing the range of the educability of man-the perfectibility of man. We have never addressed ourselves to this problem before.

Dr. Frederick Tilney, French brain specialist
We will by conscious command evolve cerebral centers which will permit us to use powers that we now are not even capable of imagining.

Jack Schwartz, expert in human potential
We are hoarding potentials so great that they are just about unimaginable.

Charles Schultz, creator of "Peanuts"
In the book of life's questions, the answers are not in the back.

Arnold Glasgow
Make your life a mission-not an intermission.

I was brought up in the great tradition of the late nineteenth century: that a writer never complains, never explains and never disdains.

Zen Buddhist Text
The master in the art of living makes little distinction between his work and his play, his labor and his leisure, his mind and his body, his information and his recreation, his love and his religion. He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence at whatever he does, leaving others to decide whether he is working or playing. To him he's always doing both.

Diogenes
No man is hurt but by himself.

Warren Bennis
The manager administers; the leader innovates.
The manager has a short-range view; the leader has a long-range perspective.
The manager asks how and when; the leader asks what and why.
The manager has his eye on the bottom line; the leader has his eye on the horizon.
The manager accepts the status quo; the leader challenges it.

John C. Maxwell
Policies are many, Principles are few, Policies will change, Principles never do.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Neither a lofty degree of intelligence nor imagination nor both together go to the making of genius. Love, love, love, that is the soul of genius.

General Colin Powell
Experts often possess more data than judgment.

You don't know what you can get away with until you try.

Scout Cloud Lee, The Circle is Sacred
When we acknowledge that all of life is sacred and that each act is an act of choice and therefore sacred, then life is a sacred dance lived consciously each moment. When we live at this level, we participate in the creation of a better world.

Bill Gates
640K ought to be enough for anybody. (1981)

Marianne Williamson
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. Who are we NOT to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in us all.

Fanny Brice
Let the world know you as you are, not as you think you should be-because sooner or later, if you're posing, you will forget the pose and then where are you?

Gita Bellin
If one desires a change, one must be that change before that change can take place.

Sam Levenson
You must learn from the mistakes of others. You can't possibly live long enough to make them all yourself.

Thomas Watson, founder of IBM
If you want to achieve excellence, you can get there today. As of this second, quit doing less-than-excellent work.

Yogi Berra
Nobody goes there anymore . . . it's too crowded!

Always go to other people's funerals, otherwise they won't come to yours.

Baseball is 90 percent mental and the other half is physical.

What gets us into trouble is not what we don't know. It's what we know for sure that just ain't so.

One of the most valuable things we can do to heal one another is listen to each other's stories.

You may have tangible wealth untold,
Caskets of jewels and coffers of gold.
Richer than I you could never be;
I know someone who told stories to me.

Rush Limbaugh
No nation ever taxed itself into prosperity.

You could afford your house without the government-if it weren't for the government.

Character matters; leadership descends from character.

If you commit a crime, you're guilty.

Compassion is no substitute for justice.

Poverty is not the root cause of crime.

The Los Angeles riots were not caused by the Rodney King verdict. The Los Angeles riots were caused by rioters.

Dr. Loretta Scott
We can't help everyone, but everyone can help someone.

Sri Chinmoy
There comes a time in the seeker's life when he discovers that he is at once the lover and the beloved. The aspiring soul which he embodies is the lover in him. And the transcendental Self which he reveals from within is his Beloved.

Gary Zukav
Reality is what we take to be true. What we take to be true is what we believe. What we believe is based upon our perceptions. What we perceive depends upon what we look for. What we look for depends upon what we think. What we think depends upon what we perceive. What we perceive determines what we believe. What we believe determines what we take to be true. what we take to be true is our reality.

Michael Sky
The real challenge (in life) is to choose, hold, and operate through intelligent, uplifting, and fully empowering beliefs.

Kirsten Zambucka
Though I might travel afar, I will meet only what I carry with me, for every man is amirror.  We see only ourselves reflected in those around us. Their attitudes and actions are only a reflection of our own. The whole world and its condition has its counter parts within us all.  Turn the gaze inward. Correct yourself and your world will change.

William Dempsey
The awakening has begun!

Walter Russell
Mediocrity is self-inflicted. Genius is self-bestowed.

I want to talk with people who care about things that matter that will make a life-changing difference.

True or true? Yes or yes?

I never let my subject get in the way of what I want to talk about.

Value is what people are willing to pay for it.

You will get good attention and people will be more inclined to listen to you if you can make a statement whereby their response is, "No Shit!" or at least, "No kidding!"

Coach Bear Bryant
It's not the will to win, but the will to prepare to win that makes the difference.

William George Jordan
Into the hands of every individual is given a marvelous power for good or evil-the silent, unconscious, unseen influence of his life. This is simply the constant radiation of what man really is, not what he pretends to be.

Lou Holtz
It's not my job to motivate players. They bring extraordinary motivation to our program. It's my job not to de-motivate them.

Ability is what you're capable of doing. Motivation determines what you do. Attitude determines how well you do it.

Denny McDonough
There's not a whole lot of new atoms out there.

William Wallace in the movie Braveheart
Every man dies. Not every man really lives.

We never know how high we are/Till we are called to rise/And then, if we are true to plan,/Our statures touch the skies.

Aesop

Thomas Adams
Passion costs me too much to bestow it on every trifle. (1640)

Kenneth Blanchard
The first principle of ethical power is Purpose . . . By purpose, I don't mean your objective or intention-something toward which you are always striving. Purpose is something bigger. It is the picture you have of yourself-the kind of person you want to be or the kind of life you want to lead.

A racehorse that consistently runs just a second faster than another horse is worth millions of dollars more. Be willing to give that extra effort that separates the winner from the one in second place.

Brian Tracy
Your greatest asset is your earning ability. Your greatest resource is your time.

Invest three percent of your income in yourself (self-development) in order to guarantee your future.

Every single life only becomes great when the individual sets upon a goal or goals which they really believe in, which they can really commit themselves to, which they can put their whole heart and soul into.

Rev. John Wellesly
EARN as much as you can. SAVE as much as you can. INVEST as much as you can. GIVE as much as you can.

Yogi Desai
Do everything with so much love in your heart that you would never want to do it any other way.

Robert Stuberg
The trouble with so many of us is that we underestimate the power of simplicity. We have a tendency it seems to over complicate our lives and forget what's important and what's not. We tend to mistake movement for achievement. We tend to focus on activities instead of results. And as the pace of life continues to race along in the outside world, we forget that we have the power to control our lives regardless of what's going on outside.

Alice Potter
I am optimistic and confident in all that I do.
I affirm only the best for myself and others.
I am the creator of my life and my world.
I meet daily challenges gracefully and with complete confidence.
I fill my mind with positive, nurturing, and healing thoughts.

Joseph Murphy
The Law of Attraction attracts to you everything you need, according to the nature of your thought life. Your environment and financial condition are the perfect reflection of your habitual thinking. Thought rules the world.

Dr. David Schwartz, author of The Magic of Thinking Big
Believe it can be done. When you believe something can be done, really believe, your mind will find the ways to do it. Believing a solution paves the way to solution.

D A Benton, author of Lions Don't Need to Roar
Guts are a combination of confidence, courage, conviction, strength of character, stick-to-itiveness, pugnaciousness, backbone, and intestinal fortitude. They are mandatory for anyone who wants to get to and stay at the top.

Sydney J Harris
Regret for the things we did can be tempered by time; it is regret for the things we did not do that is inconsolable.

Eugene S Wilson
Only the curious will learn and only the resolute overcome the obstacles to learning. The quest quotient has always excited me more than the intelligence quotient.

William Ellery Channing, author of Spiritual Freedom
The worst tyrants are those which establish themselves in our own breasts.

Marcus Bach
We catch on to the truth and technique of expectation in those rare moments when we are stirred by an awareness of a guidance seemingly higher and greater than our own, when for a little while we are taken over by a force and an intelligence above and beyond those commonly felt. Confident and free, filled with wonder and ready acceptance, we permit ourselves to be taken over by our unquestioning self.

Maharishi Mahesh Yogi
Happiness radiates like the fragrance from a flower, and draws all good things toward you. Allow your love to nourish yourself as well as others. Do not strain after the needs of life. It is sufficient to be quietly alert and aware of them. In this way life proceeds more naturally and effortlessly. Life is here to Enjoy!

Flora Edwards
In helping others, we shall help ourselves, for whatever good we give out completes the circle and comes back to us.

Earl Nightingale -1989
We can help others in the world more by making the most of yourself than in any other way.

We must be the epitome-the embodiment-of success. We must radiate success before it will come to us. We must first become mentally, from an attitude standpoint, the people we wish to become.

We will receive not what we idly wish for but what we justly earn. Our rewards will always be in exact proportion to our service.

Learn to enjoy every minute of your life. Be happy now. Don't wait for something outside of yourself to make you happy in the future—Think how really precious is the time you have to spend, whether it's at work or with your family. Every minute should be enjoyed, savored.

Whatever we plant in our subconscious mind and nourish with repetition and emotion will one day become a reality.

The more intensely we feel about an idea or a goal, the more assuredly the idea, buried deep in our subconscious, will direct us along the path to its fulfillment.

We are at our very best, and we are happiest, when we are fully engaged in work we enjoy on the journey toward the goal we've established for ourselves. It gives meaning to our time off and comfort to our sleep. It makes everything else in life so wonderful, so worthwhile.

Bob Richards, Olympic Pole Vaulting Champion
One of the great lessons I've learned in athletics is that you've got to discipline your life. No matter how good you may be, you've got to be willing to cut out of your life those things that keep you from going to the top.

Is not that a great principle for all of living? The people who will really accomplish great things in life are those who are willing to discipline their lives, who maintain their health, their vitality, their efficiency through this process of rigorous disciplining of what they take into their bodies and what they do in life. It's a very important thing in terms of championship living.

Jon Kabat-Zinn
Generosity is another quality which, like patience, letting go, non-judging, and trust, provides a solid foundation for mindfulness practice. You might experiment with using the cultivation of generosity as a vehicle for deep self-observation and inquiry as well as an exercise in giving. A good place to start is with yourself. See if you can give yourself gifts that may be true blessings, such as self-acceptance, or some time each day with no purpose. Practice feeling deserving enough to accept these gifts without obligation-to simply receive from yourself, and from the universe.

You can't stop the waves, but you can learn to surf.

Wilhelm von Humboldt
I am more and more convinced that our happiness or our unhappiness depends far more on the way we meet the events of life than on the nature of those events themselvers.

Charles Givens, author of Wealth Without Risk
Success with money, family, relationships, health, and careers is the ability to reach your personal objectives in the shortest time, with the least effort and with the fewest mistakes. The goals you set for yourself and the strategies you choose become your blueprint or plan. Strategies are like recipes: choose the right ingredients, mix them in the correct proportions, and you will always produce the same predictable results: in this case financial success. The success strategies for managing money and building wealth are called Money Strategies. By learning to use money strategies as a part of your day-to-day life, financial frustration and failure will become a thing of the past.

Achieve success in any area of life by identifying the optimum strategies and repeating them until they become habits.

Success requires first expending ten units of effort to produce one unit of results. Your momentum will then produce ten units of results with each unit of effort.

Claude Bristol, author of The Magic of Believing
The person with a fixed goal, a clear picture of his desire, or an ideal always before him, causes it, through repetition, to be buried deeply in his subconscious mind and is thus enabled, thanks to its generative and sustaining power, to realize his goal in a minimum of time and with a minimum of physical effort. Just pursue the thought unceasingly. Step by step you will achieve realization, for all your faculties and powers become directed to that end.

Every person is the creation of himself, the image of his own thinking and believing. As individuals think and believe, so they are.

John Wesley
Catch on fire with enthusiasm and people will come for miles to watch you burn.

Sheryl Adams
Energy is equal to desire and purpose.

L Ron Hubbard
There is a condition worse than blindness, and that is, seeing something that isn't there.

Robert Collier
You can have anything you want—if you want it badly enough. You can be anything you want to be, have anything you desire, accomplish anything you set out to accomplish-if you will hold to that desire with singleness of purpose.

Peter Marshall
A different world cannot be built by indifferent people.

Richard Milhouse Nixon 1913-1994
Always remember, others may hate you, but those who hate you don't win unless you hate them—and then you destroy yourself.

from the movie Cool Runnings
A gold medal is a wonderful thing, but if you're not enough without the medal, you'll never be enough with it.

from the president of International Harvester
Business is simple. Make some stuff and sell it for more than it cost you. There's nothing more to it than that except for a few million details.

Gary Comer, founder of Land's End
Worry about being better; bigger will take care of itself. Think one customer at a time and take care of each one the best way you can.

Jose Ortega y Gasset
The metaphor is perhaps one of man's most fruitful potentialities. Its efficacy verges on magic, and it seems a tool for creation which God forgot inside one of His creatures when He made him.

Carl Sandburg
Nothing happens unless first a dream.

Time is the coin of your life. It is the only coin you have and only you can determine how it will be spent. Be careful lest you let other people spend it for you.

John Dryden
We first make our habits, and then our habits make us.

Mighty things from small beginnings grow.

Cherie Carter-Scott
Ordinary people believe only in the possible. Extraordinary people visualize not what is possible or probable, but rather what is impossible. And by visualizing the impossible, they begin to see it as possible.

Mel Brooks
Look, I really don't want to wax philosophic, but I will say that if you're alive, you got to flap your arms and legs, you got to jump around a lot, you got to make a lot of noise, because life is the very opposite of death. And therefore, as I see it, if you're quiet, you're not living. You've got to be noisy, or at least your thoughts should be noisy and colorful and lively.

Dorothy Parker
This book is not to be tossed lightly aside, but to be hurled with great force.

Sure I'm for helping the elderly. I'm going to be old myself someday. (at age 85)

Tom Hopkins
Internalization. This occurs when you've exploited impact, when you've molded the standard material to your needs and made it yours, when you've made your new skills strong through hard use. All of a sudden these new concepts stopped churning within you, and a new reality is born: You and the concepts are one. They have literally become you. You have become them.

Today, you have 100% of your life left.

An expert is someone who knows a lot about the past.

It takes as much courage to have tried and failed as it does to have tried and succeeded.

George Burns (1896-1996)

You've got to be honest; once you can fake that, you've got it made.

Love is a friendship set to music.

Kitty O'neill Collins
What I am looking for is a blessing not in disguise.

William Zinsser, author of On Writing Well
Writing is thinking on paper.

Writing is a craft not an art.

Four basic premises of writing: clarity, brevity, simplicity, and humanity.

Hard writing makes easy reading. Easy writing makes hard reading.

There's no sentence that's too short in the eyes of God.

Alan Watts, philosopher of science
How is it possible that a being with such sensitive jewels as the eyes, such enchanted musical instruments as the ears, and such fabulous arabesque of nerves as the brain can experience itself anything less than a god.

Thomas Moffett, seventeenth century physician
We are digging our graves with our teeth.

I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge-that myth is more potent than history. I believe that dreams are more powerful than facts-that hope always triumphs over experience-that laughter is the only cure for grief. And I believe that love is stronger than death.

Father Don Walk
It's easy to point when you can't heal it.

Tim Foley
Forget those things that aren't worth remembering.

Peace Pilgrim 190? - 1981
You are within God. God is within you.

Unnecessary possessions are unnecessary burdens. If you have them, you have to take care of them! There is great freedom in simplicity of living. It is those who have enough but not too much who are the happiest.

The purpose of problems is to push you toward obedience to God's laws, which are exact and cannot be changed. We have the free will to obey them or disobey them. Obedience will bring harmony, disobedience will bring you more problems.

There is something to that old saying that hate injures the hater, not the hated.

People see themselves as the center of the universe and judge everything as it relates to them.

On the anger habit: Do not suppress it-that would hurt you inside. Do not express it-this would not only hurt you inside, it would cause ripples in your surroundings. What you do is transform it.

The simplification of life is one of the steps to inner peace. In my life, what I want and what I need are exactly the same.

The valid research for the future is on the inner side, on the spiritual side.

Make food a very incidental part of your life by filling your life so full of meaningful things that you'll hardly have time to think about food.

If you realized how powerful your thoughts are, you would never think a negative thought.

I don't eat junk foods and I don't think junk thoughts.

As I lived up to the highest light I had, higher and higher light came to me.

I've met a few people who had to change their jobs in order to change their lives, but I've met many more people who merely had to change their motive to service in order to change their lives.

Anything you cannot relinquish when it has outlived its usefulness possesses you, and in this materialistic age a great many of us are possessed by our possessions.

Worry is a useless mulling over of things we cannot change.

A pilgrim is a wanderer with purpose.

You're in a much better position to talk with people when they approach you than when you approach them.

This is my peace message in one sentence: This is the way of peace-overcome evil with good, and falsehood with truth, and hatred with love.

We have all the light we need, we just need to put it in practice.

I pray without ceasing now. My personal prayer is: Make me an instrument which only truth can speak.

Praying without ceasing is not ritualized, nor are there even words. It is a constant state of awareness of oneness with God.

Many people profess Christianity. Very few live it-almost none. And when you live it people may think you're crazy. It has been truthfully said that the world is equally shocked by one who repudiates Christianity as by one who practices it.

Humanity has only scratched the surface of its real potential.

For light I go directly to the Source of light, not to any of the reflections.

My appointed work is to awaken the divine nature that is within.

Keep your feet on the ground and your thoughts at lofty heights.

Most of us fall short much more by omission than by commission: "While the world perishes we go our way: purposeless, passionless, day after day."

Pure love is a willingness to give without a thought of receiving anything in return.

We are all cells in the same body of humanity.

We are that which activates the body.

Before the tongue can speak, it must have lost the power to wound.

Lyndon Johnson
The guns and bombs, the rockets and the warships, all are symbols of human failure.

We learn simply by the exposure of living. Much that passes for education is not education at all but ritual. The fact is that we are being educated when we know it least.

Pick battles big enough to matter, small enough to win.

Lee Iococca
We are continually faced by great opportunities brilliantly disguised as insoluble problems.

Mal Pancoast
Telling someone the truth is a loving act.

Thinking is heavily endorsed.

The opposite of love is not hate. It is indifference.

There's nobody "out there." It's all in here.

It takes only one other person to say it's so—one other point of reality—to make something real.

The odds of hitting your target go up dramatically when you aim at it.

A new lens to look through. Hear the pain in people's speaking. People who have an ear to hear can hear. You will no longer tolerate what you used to tolerate. A second point of reality. It's the loving thing to do. What's being revealed here? Dogs don't have things wrong. Wrong disempowers people. Upsets indicate a "right" that's been violated. Notice when you are angry that you are the only one around. The only constant thing is you. Business is made up. It's invented. If it really turns you on, you may want to inform your face. There is no "right" way. 

You get paid to impact the world, not be impacted by it.

Skills are cheap; chemistry is expensive.

My wife isn't married to me forever; she's married to me for good. That keeps me on my toes.

William Pitt
Poverty of course is no disgrace, but it is damned annoying.

Robert Townsend
A good leader needs to have a compass in his head and a bar of steel in his heart.

If you don't do it excellently, don't do it at all. Because if it's not excellent, it won't be profitable or fun, and if you're not in business for fun or profit, what the hell are you doing there?

Edith Armstrong
I keep the telephone of my mind open to peace, harmony, health, love, and abundance. Then, whenever doubt, anxiety, or fear try to call me, they will keep getting a busy signal-and soon they'll forget my number.

Georges Bernanos
A thought which does not result in an action is nothing much, and an action which does not proceed from a thought is nothing at all.

David Bohm
In some sense man is a microcosm of the universe; therefore what man is, is a clue to the universe. We are enfolded in the universe.

George Kneller
Creativity, as has been said, consists largely of rearranging what we know in order to find out what we do not know . . . Hence, to think creatively, we must be able to look afresh at what we normally take for granted.
