MEN &WOMEN
Rainer Maria Rilke

them which makes it possible for each to see the other whole."

an ignorant man follows the public opinion."
PERSEVERANCE:

during the time that others waste."
-UNKNOWN-
"Courage and perseverance have a magical talisman,

WISDOM:

QUESTIONS:

and intelligent man and the answer was
'By never being afraid or ashamed to ask questions as to anything of
which I was ignorant."
REALITY:
Hermann Hesse

That is why so many people live such an unreal life.
They take the images outside them for reality

but by the responsibility for our future."
RESPECT:
Ren G. Torres
"He who does not have the courage to speak up for his rights
cannot earn the respect of others."
-UNKNOWN-
"That you may retain your self-respect,
it is better to displease the people by doing what you know is right,
than to temporarily please them by doing what you know is wrong."
RISK:

and keep your foot on first base."

Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.
Only those who will risk going too far can possibly
find out how far one can go."
SOLITUDE:
Deepak Chopra
"To make the right choices in life, you have to get in touch with your
soul. To do this, you need to experience solitude,

the truth and know the solutions."
STRENGTH:
Basil S. Walsh

What we need is to use what we have."

which will always spring up if thou wilt always look there."
STRUGGLE:
-UNKNOWN-
"Better shun the bait, than struggle in the snare."

"The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being
overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often,

the privilege of owning yourself."
SUCCESS & FAILURES:
Sir Winston Churchill
"Success is not final, failure is not fatal:
it is the courage to continue that counts."
Robert Albert Bloch
"Nature gave men two ends -- one to sit on, and one to think with.
Ever since then man's success or failure has been dependent
on the one he used most."
THOUGHT:
Lord Thomas Dewar
"Minds are like parachutes; they work best when open."
-UNKNOWN-
"First comes thought; then organization of that thought, into ideas
and plans; then transformation of those plans into reality.
The beginning, as you will observe, is in your imagination."
TOLERANCE:
George Dennison Prentice
"We are in favor of tolerance, but it is a very difficult thing
to tolerate the intolerant and impossible to tolerate the intolerable."

the whole truth, or the only truth."
NO CATEGORY
Thomas J. Watson
"Follow the path of the unsafe, independent thinker.
Expose your ideas to the dangers of controversy.
Speak your mind and fear less the label of 'crackpot'
than the stigma of conformity.
And on issues that seem important to you,
stand up and be counted at any cost."

the chance to work hard at work worth doing."
