Your mind will take the shape of what you frequently hold in thought.

Optimist: Someone who figures that taking a step backward after taking a step forward is not a disaster, it's a cha-cha.

You are where you are today because you stand on somebody’s shoulders. And wherever you are heading, you cannot get there by yourself. If you stand on the shoulders of others, you have a reciprocal responsibility to live your life so that others may stand on your shoulders. It’s the quid pro quo of life. We exist temporarily through what we take, but we live forever through what we give.
-- Vernon Jordan
I had begun to see the past like this: there is a line; you can draw it yourself, or sometimes it gets drawn for you; either way, there it is, your past, a collection of people you used to be and things you used to do. Your past is the person you no longer are, the situations you are no longer in.
Foreign influence is truly the Grecian horse to a republic. We cannot be too careful to exclude its influence.

Manliness consists not in bluff, bravado or loneliness. It consists in daring to do the right thing and facing consequences whether it is in matters social, political or other. It consists in deeds not words.
-- Mahatma Gandhi
The Internet is the first thing that humanity has built that humanity doesn’t understand, the largest experiment in anarchy that we have ever had.
-- Eric Schmidt
The size of our universe shrinks considerably when we place ourselves at the center. And the people who are most focused on themselves are the least satisfied in life.
-Joshua Becker
Remember every room has its gloom and the great thing to do is to find the color that will cut that gloom.
-- Gertrude Stein
If we command our wealth, we shall be rich and free. If our wealth commands us, we are poor indeed.
-- Edmund Burke
-- Elbert Hubbard
