Everything is a gift of the universe -- even joy, anger, jealously, frustration, or separateness. Everything is perfect either for our growth or our enjoyment.

Those who attain to any excellence commonly spend life in some single pursuit, for excellence is not often gained upon easier terms.

Samuel Johnson

We are injured and hurt emotionally, Not so much by other people or what they say and don't say, But by our own attitude and our own response.

Maxwell Maltz

Somehow, the Good Lord don't want to see no man start a cold morning with just black coffee.

Robert Newton Peck

We are exactly where we have chosen to be.

Vernon Howard

My dream, is to dream, a dream.

Santosh Kalwar

What I point out to people is that it's silly to be afraid that you're not going to get what you want if you ask. Because you are already not getting what you want. They always laugh about that because they realize it's so true. Without asking you already have failed, you already have nothing. What are you afraid of? You're afraid of getting what you already have! It's ridiculous! Who cares if you don't get it when you ask for it, because, before you ask for it, you don't have it anyway. So there's really nothing to be afraid of.

Marcia Martin

Blind faith, no matter how passionately expressed, will not suffice. Science for its part will test relentlessly every assumption about the human condition.

E. O. Wilson

Keep courage. Whatever you do, do not feel sorry for yourself. You will win in a great age of opportunity.

Richard L. Evans

That's one of the most exciting things about Michigan's future. We need to, we must capitalize on our alternative-energy vehicles that we can produce right here.

Jennifer Granholm

Economics is a social science, not a physical science.

Jim Stanford

Making this a better world happens one person at a time. You cannot force your beliefs on anyone. Rather, be the example that others can emulate. Live your life so that others may be inspired by your words and deeds. That's how change happens.

Tom Giaquinto

Working with Omarion is pretty amazing. That's like my brother. He's really cool.
