(Thomas Jefferson)
If you are never scared, embarrassed, or hurt, it means you never take chances.
(Julia Soul)
You do not lead by hitting people over the head -- that's assault, not leadership.
(Dwight Eisenhower)
Men often become what they believe themselves to be. If I believe I cannot do something, it makes me incapable of doing it. But when I believe I can, then I acquire the ability to do it even if I didn't have it in the beginning.
(Mohandas Gandhi)
The Lord knows what we may find, dear lass, and the Deuce knows what we may do, but we're back once more on the old trail; our own trail, the out trail; we're down, hull down, on the long trail, the trail that is always new.
(Rudyard Kipling)
Toad talked big about all he was going to do in the days to come, while stars grew fuller and larger all around them, and a yellow moon, appearing suddenly and silently from nowhere in particular, came to keep them company and listen to their talk.
(Kenneth Grahame)
I expect to pass through this world but once. Any good therefore that I can do, or any kindness that I can show to my fellow-creature, let me do it now. Let me not defer or neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again.
(William Penn)
Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could; some blunders and absurdities have crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; you shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.
(Ralph Waldo Emerson)
