The negative patterns that form as a result of this self defeating behaviour actually symbolize the negative belief that we nurture.

We've entered an era when very good, competent people aren't getting jobs. One remedy is to stand out, to self-promote. If you do, you're going to get the nod over some co-worker.

Jeff Davidson

Maybe love, too, is beautiful because it has a wildness that cannot be tamed. I don't know. All I know is that passion can take you up like a house of cards in a tornado, leaving destruction in its wake. Or it can let you alone because you've built a stone wall against it, set out the armed guards to keep it from touching you. The real trick is not to let it in, but to hold on. To understand that the heart is as wide and vast as the universe, but that we come to know it best from here, this place is gravity and stability, where out feet can still touch ground.

Deb Caletti

Visitors are insatiable devourers of time, and fit only for those who, if they did not visit, would do nothing.

William Cowper

What do you think has become of the young and old men?What do you think has become of the women andchildren?They are alive and well somewhere;The smallest sprouts show there is really no death,And if ever there was it led forward life, and does not waitat the end to arrest it,And ceased the moment life appeared.All goes onward and outward. . . .and nothing collapses,And to die is different from what any one supposed, and luckier.

Walt Whitman, Leaves of Grass, S

A man is a god in ruins.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Be larger than your task.

Orison Swett Marden

The path of least resistance is the path of the loser.

Phil Weltman

No place in England where everyone can go is considered respectable.

George Moore

Nature is so powerful, so strong. Capturing its essence is not easy - your work becomes a dance with light and the weather. It takes you to a place within yourself.

Annie Leibovitz

I have to be in a relationship where I can say what I feel even if it's wrong - so we can work through it.

Bethenny Frankel

I'm no politician. I'm an historian who has learned through a lifetime of studying that nothing in the world beats universal education.

Stephen Ambrose

It's fun to have money, but the more money I get, the less interesting it becomes. If you don't have very much, you have to think about it. If you are starving, you become interested in food. If you are struggling to pay the bills, money becomes tragically important.
