06/14/16"I found one day in school a boy of medium size ill-treating a smaller boy. I expostulated, but he replied: 'The bigs hit me, so I hit the babies; that's fair.' In these words he epitomized the history of the human race." - Bertrand Russell
06/15/16"The future you shall know when it has come; before then forget it." - Aeschylus
06/16/16"You have power over your mind - not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength." - Marcus Aurelius

06/18/16"One's own thought is one's world. What a person thinks is what he becomes." - Maitri Upanishads

Leadership does not need to be a dramatic, fist in the air and trumpets blaring, activity." - Scott Berkun
06/22/16"This is the lesson: never give in, never give in, never, never, never, never - in nothing, great or small, large or petty - never give in except to convictions of honor and good sense. Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy." - Winston Churchill

06/29/16"If you break your neck, if you have nothing to eat, if your house is on fire, then you've got a problem. Everything else is an inconvenience. Life is inconvenient. Life is lumpy. A lump in the oatmeal, a lump in the throat, and a lump in the breast are not the same kind of lump. One needs to learn the difference." - Robert Fulghum
06/30/16"It is by going down into the abyss that we recover the treasures of life." - Joseph Campbell
