    “Not wanting something is as good as having it.”

    Dru Riley, Blog

      “There are more things likely to frighten us than there are to crush us; we suffer more often in imagination than in reality.”

      Seneca

        “Almost everybody can stay excited for 2 or 3 months. A few people can stay excited for 2 or 3 years. But a winner will stay excited for 30 years or however long it takes to win.”

        Art Williams

          “You alone plan to commit a sin, you alone plan to do evil; and you alone can escape sin and purify your thoughts. Only your inner self can damn you, and only your inner self can save you.”

          Dhammapada, via A Calendar of Wisdom (Page 236)

            “To be humble to superiors is duty; to equals is courtesy; to inferiors is nobleness; and to all, safety!”

            Bruce Lee, Striking Thoughts (Page 55)

              “Oftentimes people come up to me and ask, ‘Bruce, are you really that good?’ I say, ‘Well, if I tell you I’m good, probably you will say I’m boasting; but if I tell you I’m no good, you’ll know I’m lying.’ I have the absolute confidence not to be number two, but then I have enough sense also to realize that there can be no number one.”

              Bruce Lee, Striking Thoughts (Page 54)

                “A most dangerous temptation is the temptation to prepare to live, instead of living. The future does not belong to you. Therefore, remember to live the best way you know now. The only perfection necessary is perfection in love, which can be reached only in the present. It’s why we came into this world.”

                Leo Tolstoy, A Calendar of Wisdom (Page 235)

                  “A wise man was asked what was the most important time, person, and thing in life. He answered, ‘The most important time is the present time, because at this time a person has power over himself. The most important person is the one with whom you deal at present, because there is no guarantee that you will ever be able to deal with any other person in this world. The most important thing is to love this person, because everyone is sent into this world with the sole purpose of loving other people.”

                  Leo Tolstoy, A Calendar of Wisdom (Page 235)

                    “An attachment to control essentially comes from having a bad relationship with change.”
