    “We are not here merely to make a living. We are here to enrich the world with a finer spirit of hope and achievement- and we impoverish ourselves if we forget the errand.” ~ Woodrow Wilson

        A society grows great when old men plant trees whose shade they know they shall never sit in.

          “Have faith in yourself. But have faith in your friends and neighbors, too. I know life is competitive- but it isn’t a jungle. Like begets like. Faith inspires faith. People give back substantially what we give them.“ ~ Bethany College

            We all die. The goal isn't to live forever, the goal is to create something that will.

                “Sport is where an entire life can be compressed into a few hours, where the emotions of a lifetime can be felt on an acre or two of ground, where a person can suffer and die and rise again on six miles of trails through a New York City park. Sport is a theater where sinner can turn saint and a common man become an uncommon hero, where the past and the future can fuse with the present. Sport is singularly able to give us peak experiences where we feel completely one with the world and transcend all conflicts as we finally become our own potential.” ~ Dr. George Sheehan

                      Happiness is not a state to arrive at, but a manner of traveling.

                        ‎”If you hear a good idea, capture it; write it down. Don’t trust your memory. Then on a cold wintry evening, go back through your journal, the ideas that changed your life, the ideas that saved your marriage, the ideas that bailed you out of bankruptcy, the ideas that helped you become successful, the ideas that made you millions. What a good review–going back over the collection of ideas that you gathered over the years. So be a collector of good ideas for your business, for your relationships, for your future.” ~ Jim Rohn

                          “What is more pleasant than the benevolent notice other people take of us, what is more agreeable than their compassionate empathy?  What inspires us more than addressing ears flushed with excitement, what captivates us more than exercising our own power of fascination?  What is more thrilling than an entire hall of expectant eyes, what more overwhelming than applause surging up to us?  What, lastly, equals the enchantment sparked off by the delighted attention we receive from those who profoundly delight ourselves? – Attention by other people is the more irresistible of drugs.  To receive it outshines receiving any other kind of income.  This is why glory surpasses power and why wealth is overshadowed by prominence.” ~ Caterina Fake, Founder of Flickr

                            “Tomorrow and plans for tomorrow can have no significance at all unless you are in full contact with the reality of the present, since it is in the present and only in the present that you live. There is no other reality than present reality, so that, even if one were to live for endless ages, to live for the future would be to miss the point everlastingly.” ~ Alan Watts, The Wisdom of Insecurity

                                  “If you don’t stick to your values when they are being tested, they’re not values: they’re hobbies.” ~ Jon Stewart

                                        “I am concerned that too many people are focused too much on money and not on their greatest wealth, which is their education. If people are prepared to be flexible, keep an open mind and learn, they will grow richer and richer through the changes. If they think money will solve the problems, I am afraid those people will have a rough ride. Intelligence solves problems and produces money. Money without financial intelligence is money soon gone.”
