Do not fear mistakes. You will know failure. Continue to reach out.

All blame is a waste of time. No matter how much fault you find with another, and regardless of how much you blame him, it will not change you. The only thing blame does is to keep the focus off you when you are looking for external reasons to explain your unhappiness or frustration. You may succeed in making another feel guilty about something by blaming him, but you won't succeed in changing whatever it is about you that is making you unhappy.

Wayne Dyer

This, then, is the test we must set for ourselves not to march alone but to march in such a way that others will wish to join us.

Hubert H. Humphrey

I had no desire to be famous I just wanted to make the greatest music ever made. I didn't want anyone to know who I was.

Robert Smith

Bashfulness is an ornament to youth, but a reproach to old age.

Aristotle

Obama's health care plan will be written by a committee whose head, John Conyers, says he doesn't understand it. It'll be passed by Congress that has not read it, signed by a president who smokes, funded by a Treasury chief who didn't pay his taxes, overseen by a Surgeon General who is obese, and financed by a country that's nearly broke. What could possibly go wrong?

Rush Limbaugh

The architecture of our future is not only unfinished the scaffolding has hardly gone up.

George Lamming

For time is the longest distance between two places.

Tennessee (Thomas Lanier) Willia

Here I am trying to live, or rather, I am trying to teach the death within me how to live.

Jean Cocteau

Chop your own wood, and it will warm you twice.

Henry Ford

The minstrel fell but the foeman's chaincould not break his proud soul under.The harp he loved ne'er spoke again,for he tore its chords asunder,And said, No chains shall sully thee,thou soul of love and brav'ry!Thy songs were made for the pure and free;they shall never sound in slav'ry.

Thomas Moore, The Minstrel Boy

In fast-moving, progress-conscious America, the consumer expects to be dizzied by progress. If he could completely understand advertising jargon he would be badly disappointed. The half-intelligibility which we expect, or even hope, to find in the latest product language personally reassures each of us that progress is being made: that the pace exceeds our ability to follow.

Daniel J. Boorstin

One of the enduring problems with certain societies in the world - and this is certainly true of a lot of places in the Middle East - is that the capacity for self-governance and self-organizing just isn't there. It has to do with history.
