DATE THOUGHT OF THE DAY 9/1/14      "Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life." - Confucius 9/2/14      "All of humanity's problems stem from man's inability to sit quietly in a room alone."- Blaise Pascal 9/3/14      "Our power is our ability to decide." - Buckminister Fuller 9/4/14      "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 9/5/14      "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 9/6/14      "One of the most important but one of the most difficult things for a powerful mind is to be its own master." - Joseph Addison 9/7/14      "Everyone has talent. What's rare is the courage to follow it to the dark places where it leads." - Erica Jong 9/8/14      "As I grow to understand life less and less, I learn to love it more and more." - Jules Renard 9/9/14      "I'm a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work, the more I have of it." - Thomas Jefferson 9/10/14      "What is harder than rock, or softer than water? Yet soft water hollows out hard rock. Persevere." - Ovid 9/11/14      "Anyone who conducts an argument by appealing to authority is not using his intelligence; he is just using his memory." - Leonardo da Vinci 9/12/14      "It takes as much energy to wish as it does to plan." - Eleanor Roosevelt 9/13/14      "A man is about as big as the things that make him angry." - Winston Churchill 9/14/14      "Experience is not what happens to a man; it is what a man does with what happens to him." - Aldous Huxley 9/15/14      "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 9/16/14      "Fear is the parent of cruelty." - James Anthony Froude 9/17/14      "In character, in manners, in style, in all things, the supreme excellence is simplicity." - Henry Wadsworth Longfellow 9/18/14      "The best qualification of a prophet is to have a good memory." - George Savile 9/19/14      "Keep your fears to yourself, but share your courage with others." - Robert Louis Stevenson 9/20/14      "How much time he saves who does not look to see what his neighbor says or does or thinks." - Marcus Aurelius 9/21/14      "There is no greater impediment to the advancement of knowledge than the ambiguity of words." - Thomas Reid 9/22/14      "Experience is the name everyone gives to their mistakes." - Oscar Wilde 9/23/14      "Allow your passion to become your purpose, and it will one day become your profession." - Gabrielle Bernstein 9/24/14      "He who does not prevent a crime when he can, encourages it." - Seneca 9/25/14      "Knowledge is a treasure but practice is the key to it." - Thomas Fuller 9/26/14      "Genuine tragedies in the world are not conflicts between right and wrong. They are conflicts between two rights." - Georg Hegel 9/27/14      "The best way out is always through." - Robert Frost 9/28/14      "Judge a man by his questions rather than by his answers." - Voltaire 9/29/14      "We are here to laugh at the odds and live our lives so well that Death will tremble to take us." - Charles Bukowski 9/30/14      "Whenever action is performed by a great man, common men follow in his footsteps, and whatever standards he sets by exemplary acts, all the world pursues." - Bhagavad Gita
