Never look back unless you are planning to go that way. - Henry David Thoreau<br />
<br />
Success consists of getting up just one more time than you fall. - Oliver Goldsmith<br />
<br />
Without data you are just another person with an opinion. -- W. Edwards Deming<br />
<br />
First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win. ~Mahatma Gandh<br />
<br />
T.E. Lawrence – “All men dream: but not equally. Those who dream in the dark recesses of the night awake in the day to find all was vanity. But the dreamers of day are dangerous men, for they may act their dreams with open eyes, and make it possible.”<br />
<br />
Setting goals is the first step in turning the invisible into the visible. ~ Tony Robbins<br />
<br />
There are some people who live in a dream world, and there are some who face reality; and then there are those who turn one into the other.<br />
- Douglas Everett<br />
<br />
Any fool can know. The point is to understand. ? Albert Einstein<br />
<br />
It is not that we have a short time to live, but that we waste a lot of it. Life is long enough, and a sufficiently generous amount has been given to us for the highest achievement... But when it is wasted...and spent on no good activity, we are forced at last by death’s final constraint to realize that it has passed away before we knew it was passing. So it is: we are not given a short life but we make it short...Life is long if you know how to use it - Seneca the Young, 4 B.C.<br />
<br />
When you talk you are only repeating what you know; But when you listen you may learn something new.<br />
- Dalai Lama<br />

No person was ever honored for what he received. Honor has been the reward for what he gave. -Calvin Coolidige</div>

<span style="font-size: large;">You have not lived today unless you do something for someone who can never repay you. </span>-- John Bunyan<br />
<br />A book is a version of the world. If you do not like it, ignore it; or offer your own version in return. -Salman Rushdie, writer (b. 1947) <br /><br /><b>Just as appetite comes by eating so work brings inspiration.</b> -Igor Stravinsky, composer (1882-1971) <br /><br />The body is itself a mere projection of the mind, and the mind is but a poor reflection of the radiant heart. ~ Sri Ramana Maharshi<br /><br />Follow your inner moonlight; don't hide the madness. -Allen Ginsberg, poet (1926-1997)<br /><br /><b>Trying to determine what is going on in the world by reading newspapers is like trying to tell the time by watching the second hand of a clock.</b> -Ben Hecht, screenwriter, playwright, novelist, director, and producer (1894-1964)<br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;">Too often we enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought. </span>-John F.
