    “Our lives are defined by opportunities, even the ones we miss.” ~ The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

      “To study Zen is to embark on a path of learning to stop resisting reality, and in doing so to free oneself from superfluous drama and the ceaseless ebb and flow of mental states.” ~ Jordan Bates, High Existence

        “No one can see their reflection in running water.  It is only in still water that we can see.” ~ Zen Proverb

          “The strength of a family, like the strength of an army, is in its loyalty to each other.”

          Mario Puzo

            “Loyalty isn’t grey. It’s black and white. You’re either loyal completely, or not loyal at all.” ~ Sharnay

              “You can easily judge the character of a man by how he treats those who can do nothing for him.” ~ Goethe

                “Loyalty cannot be blueprinted. It cannot be produced on an assembly line. In fact, it cannot be manufactured at all, for its origin is the human heart — the center of self-respect and human dignity. It is a force which leaps into being only when conditions are exactly right for it — and it is a force very sensitive to betrayal.” ~ Maurice Franks

                  “A friend is someone who walks into a room when everyone else is walking out.” ~ Gary Moore

                    “I have a loyalty that runs in my bloodstream, when I lock into someone or something, you can’t get me away from it because I commit that thoroughly. That’s in friendship, that’s a deal, that’s a commitment. Don’t give me paper – I can get the same lawyer who drew it up to break it. But if you shake my hand, that’s for life.” ~ Jerry Lewis

                      “Faithless is he that says farewell when the road darkens.” ~ J. R. R. Tolkien

                      Tribes [Book]

                        Tribes by Seth Godin

                        By: Seth Godin

                        From this Book:  12 Quotes

                        Book Overview:  The Web can do amazing things, but it can’t provide leadership. That still has to come from individuals—people just like you who have passion about something. The explosion in tribes means that anyone who wants to make a difference now has the tools at her fingertips.  If you think leadership is for other people, think again―leaders come in surprising packages. Ignore an opportunity to lead and you risk turning into a “sheepwalker”―someone who fights to protect the status quo at all costs, never asking if obedience is doing you (or your organization) any good.  Sheepwalkers don’t do very well these days.  Tribes will make you think (really think) about the opportunities for leading your fellow employees, customers, investors, believers, hobbyists, readers…. It’s not easy, but it’s easier than you probably imagine.

                          “Sometimes I wish I was 10 years old without a care in the world. Sometimes I wish I was 40 with everything all figured out. And sometimes I wish I would just stop wishing all the time.” ~ Unknown, Live Unbound
