I have never met a man so ignorant that I couldn't learn something from him. -- Galileo Galilei
Workers of the world, the chains that bind you are not held in place by a ruling class, a "superior" race, by society, the state, or a leader. They are held in place by none other than yourself. Those who seek to exploit are not themselves free, for they place no value in freedom. Who is it that really employs you and commands you to pick up your daily load? And who is it that you allow to pass judgment on the adequacy of your toil? Who have you empowered to dangle the carrot before you and threaten with disapproval? Who, when you wake each morning, sends you off to what you call your work? Is there an "I want to" behind all your "I have to," or have you been so long forgotten to yourself that "I want" exists only as an idea in your head? If you have disconnected from your soul's desire and are drowning in an ocean of "have to," then rise up and overthrow your master. Begin the journey toward emancipation. Work only in such a way that you are truly self-employed. -- Tim Gallwey, The inner game of work
A witty saying proves nothing -- Voltaire
Natives who beat drums to drive off evil spirits are objects of scorn to smart Americans who blow horns to break up traffic jams. -- Mary Ellen Kelly
If it keeps up, man will atrophy all his limbs but the push-button finger. -- Frank Lloyd Wright
In God I trust; I will not be afraid. What can mortal man do to me? -- David (Psalm 56:4)
Don’t let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do. ~John R. Wooden
Life is not about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself. ~Lolly Daskal
Knowledge is being aware of what you can do. Wisdom is knowing when not to do it. ~Anonymous
Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life — think of it, dream of it, live on that idea. Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body, be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to success. ~Swami Vivekananda
