DATE THOUGHT OF THE DAY
09/01/14"Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life." - Confucius
09/02/14"All of humanity's problems stem from man's inability to sit quietly in a room alone." - Blaise Pascal
09/03/14"Our power is our ability to decide." - Buckminister Fuller
09/04/14"Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful." - Albert Schweitzer
09/05/14"These are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as freedom should not be highly rated." - Thomas Paine

09/15/14"When I despair, I remember that all through history, the way of truth and love has always won. There have been murderers and tyrants, and for a time they can seem invincible. But in the end they always fall. Think of it, always." - Mohandas Gandhi
09/16/14"Fear is the parent of cruelty." - James Anthony Froude
