Make yourself an honest man, and then you may be sure that there is one less scoundrel in the world.

I argue very well. Ask any of my remaining friends. I can win an argument on any topic, against any opponent. People know this, and steer clear of me at parties. Often, as a sign of their great respect, they don't even invite me.

Dave Barry

If we are on the outside, we assume a conspiracy is the perfect working of a scheme. Silent nameless men with unadorned hearts. A conspiracy is everything that ordinary life is not. It's the inside game, cold, sure, undistracted, forever closed off to us. We are the flawed ones, the innocents, trying to make some rough sense of the daily jostle. Conspirators have a logic and a daring beyond our reach. All conspiracies are the same taut story of men who find coherence in some criminal act.

Don DeLillo

There is no greatness without a passion to be great, whether it's the aspiration of an athlete or an artist, a scientist, a parent, or a businessperson.

Anthony Robbins

But Oh! The blessing it is to have a friend to whom one can speak fearless on any subject; with whom one's deepest as well as one's most foolish thoughts come out simply and safely. Oh, the comfort - the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person - having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words, but pouring them all right out, just as they are, chaff and grain together; certain that a faithful hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping, and then with the breath of kindness blow the rest away.http://www.indiana.edu/%7Eletrs/vwwp/craik/craik-poem1866.html

Dinah Maria Mulock Craik, A Life

There are strings in the human heart that had better not be vibrated.

Charles Dickens

The most luxurious possession, the richest treasure anybody has, is his personal dignity.

Jackie Robinson

Aerodynamically, the bumble bee shouldn't be able to fly, but the bumble bee doesn't know it so it goes on flying anyway.

Mary Kay Ash

We are commanded to love God with all our minds, as well as with all our hearts, and we commit a great sin if we forbid or prevent that cultivation of the mind in others which would enable them to perform this duty.

Angelina Grimke

One of the keys to wealth is to understand why & how the distance from 1 to 1 million is greater than the distance from 3 million to 5 million.

Eric Parslow

Setting goals is the first step in turning the invisible into the visible.

Tony Robbins

O, my offence is rank, it smells to heaven It hath the primal eldest curse upon 't, A brother's murder.

William Shakespeare

Life will reveal answers at the pace life wishes to do so. You feel like running, but life is on a stroll. This is how God does things.

Don Miller
