"But an accurate definition of the self is impossible. You are more than you realize, more than you can define. And the more time you spend trying to nail down the definition, the less time you spend living right now. ... Your past is not your identity... You, living now, is your identity." --George Lawrence-Ell |
"The greatest thing is, at any moment, to be willing to give up who we are in order to become all that we can be." --Max De Pree |
"How do the geese know when to fly to the sun? Who tells them the seasons? How do we, humans, know when it is time to move on? As with the migrant birds, so surely with us, there is a voice within, if only we would listen to it, that tells us so certainly when to go forth into the unknown." --Elizabeth Kubler-Ross |
"The years that are gone seem like dreams--if one might go on sleeping and dreaming--but to wake up and find--oh! well! perhaps it is better to wake up after all, even to suffer, rather than to remain a dupe to illusions all one's life."
- Kate Chopin |
"Few are those who see with their own eyes and feel with their own hearts." --Albert Einstein |
"I am still learning--how to take joy in all the people I am, how to use all my selves in the service of what I believe, how to accept when I fail and rejoice when I succeed." --Audre Lorde |
"I do not want to die...until I have faithfully made the most of my talent and cultivated the seed that was placed in me until the last small twig has grown." --Kathe Kollwitz |
Im in the persuasion business. And frankly Im disappointed by your presentation.

All progress occurs because people dare to be different.

“Until you make peace with who you are, you will never be content with what you have.” -Doris Mortman
“Why compare yourself with others? No one in the entire world can do a better job of being you than you.” ~Unknown |
"I believe a unique core self is born into every human being; the result of millennia of environment and heredity combined in an unpredictable way that could never happen before or again." --Gloria Steinem |
"I don't think there ever was a lazy man in this world. Every man has some sort of gift, and he prizes that gift beyond all others. He may be a professional billiard-player, or a Paderewski, or a poet--I don't care what it is. But whatever it is, he takes a native delight in exploiting that gift, and you will find it is difficult to beguile him away from it. Well, there are thousands of other interests occupying other men, but those interests don't appeal to the special tastes of the billiard champion or Paderewski. They are set down, therefore, as too lazy to do that or do this--to do, in short what they have no taste or inclination to do. In that sense, then I am phenomenally lazy. But when it comes to writing a book--I am not lazy. My family find it difficult to dig me out of my chair." --Mark Twain |
"I have a basic philosophy that I've tried to follow during my coaching career. Whether you're winning or losing, it's important to always be yourself. You can't change because of the circumstances around you." --Cotton Fitzsimmons |
There is something about a Martini,
A tingle remarkably pleasant: A yellow, mellow Martini: I wish I had one at present. - Ogden Nash |
"I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best."
Marilyn Monroe |
Even a stopped clock is right twice a day.

The stages of the Noble Path are: Right View, Right Thought, Right Speech, Right Behavior, Right Livelihood, Right Effort, Right Mindfulness and Right Concentration. - Buddha |
As a single footstep will not make a path on the earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind. To make a deep physical path, we walk again and again. To make a deep mental path, we must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives. - Henry David Thoreau |
By persisting in your path, though you forfeit the little, you gain the great. - Ralph Waldo Emerson |
Anything becomes interesting if you look at it long enough.
Gustave Flaubert |

Selfishness is not living as one wishes to live, it is asking others to live as one wishes to live.

Oh, if I had been loved at the age of seventeen, what an idiot I would be today. Happiness is like smallpox: if you catch it too soon, it can completely ruin your constitution.

"Acceptance is not love. You love a person because he or she has lovable traits, but you accept everybody just because they're alive and human." - Albert Ellis |

"I'm not religious at all. I think faith is something that gives you strength. I believe in fate and I believe that things happen for a reason but I don't think that there's a high power, necessarily. I believe in karma very much though. There are so many rude people around and they're the people that don't have any real friends. And relationships with people - with your mum, your nan, your dog - are what you get the most happiness in life from. Apart from shoes and bags. "
-Amy Winehouse |
