Ability
Your ability to do something is directly linked to your willingness to learn.
Acceptance
You must accept yourself before you can expect others to
do the same.
Actions
Without action there is no resolution.
Adversity
Animals are much better at handling adversity than
humans. They learn to cope and then get on with their lives.
Advice
Unfortunately, we're better at learning for ourselves
than heeding advice.Age
To deny your age is to admit regret for how you have lived your life.
Ambition
To be strongly ambitious is to want what is not
deservedly yours. America
America is where good things happen to you - as long as your luck holds out.
Anger
To acknowledge your anger is strength. To act on your
anger is weakness.
Argument & Debate
Most people consider an argument and a fight to be the
same thing. Not so. An argument is an exchange of thoughts and ideas while a
fight lacks both.
Art
It is interesting that for some people art is a wonderful
tool for expressing themselves while for others art is a means for avoiding
personal expression.
Assumptions
Assuming is human nature. Acting on assumptions is a
character flaw.
Attitude
For many people the event determines their attitude. For
a lucky few of us our attitudes determine the event.
Authors & Writing
Good writing is the result of exploring the depths of
one's mind.
Beauty
True beauty is revealed through self-confidence and
attitude.

To believe without commitment is like cooking soup
without a pot.

Bureaucracy is like your lawn: you have to routinely cut
it to keep in under control.

I haven't changed, your perception of me has ;-)

Character is like the roots of a tree: it's the part that
can't plainly be seen that makes a person strong.

then to complain about it.
Confidence
Confidence has more influence on how you look then how
you look does.
Conflict
Resolving a conflict doesn't necessarily mean that
someone has to lose.
Conformity & Nonconformity
The purpose of conformity is to control. The purpose of
nonconformity is to explore.
Conversation
There seems to be more and more talking and less and less
conversation.
Creation
God didn't create the world; God supplied the energy and
watched as the universe bloomed.

Creativity is taking what is in your mind and showing it
to other people.

If you are not ready to die then you haven't really
lived.

Decisions. What's the big deal? Make one. Learn from it.

Sometimes forest fires are beneficial to nature. But when
is destruction ever beneficial to man?

If it were easy I would have done it a long time ago.
Discovery
I don't believe in invention. There is only discovery.
Doubt
Doubt should warn, not paralyze.
Dreams
If you don't have dreams then what are you doing with all
of your time?

We place too much reliance on drugs; they should be a
last step, not a first step. Earth
Let's be careful with our Planet Earth - it's uninsured.
Education
Education is the key to everything.

All men are created equal. Unfortunately intelligence and
common sense are extras that many people choose not to pay for.

Excellence in anything is like good acting - when done
correctly you don't even notice it.

Experience is dependent upon the passage of time. Most
people don't want to wait that long.

Are you an expert because of how much you know or how
little everyone else knows?

Facts are always at the bottom of things, but are too
easily manipulated.

Freedom starts in the mind and ends with the hands and
feet.
Generosity
Generosity is a hallmark of intelligence.

Glory is usually achieved at someone else's expense.
God
To get to know God is to get to know yourself. To ask for
God's help is to steal yourself for the task ahead.
Government
Government's aren't bad. Sometimes the people who run
them are.
Growth
Change is the imputes of growth.
Habits
Man's instincts are being replaced with habits. Instincts
are formed and honed over thousands of years and are beneficial to everyone. In
a single lifetime a man can gain and lose numerous habits, many of which are
not beneficial.
Happiness
Happiness in not something you get, it is something you
have.
History
Imagine that every couple of years everything that you
know about being in a relationship is lost and you have to start over each
time. This is what it is like when generations of man do not learn from
history.
Hope
Hope is what you do when you can't do anything else.
Humor
Living your life without humor is like watching a silent
movie with your eyes closed.

don't care.

Using your imagination is like taking a vacation without
going anywhere.

Instinct is best used in conjunction with knowledge and

your stage hands: it's what you can't see that makes everything work.

Half of the joy in going somewhere is the journey.

Our misplaced faith in justice keeps us from focusing on
prevention.
Knowledge
Knowledge is not knowing, knowledge is sharing what you
know.

If you can't laugh about it then perhaps you'd be better
off dead.

Don't trust anyone who touts their own leadership - it
isn't theirs, it was given to them.

Many people can't enjoy life because they are too busy
reflecting on the past or worrying about the future.

Memory serves as the raw materials for our intellect.

Mistakes are useful when shared and destructive when kept
secret.

Too often we use observation to expose rather than to
respect.

Opportunity is the most that anyone deserves.
Optimism & Pessimism
Optimism is about accepting and pessimism is about
blaming.
Peace
Peace is a by-product of common sense and respect.
Personality
Personality is like the clothes we wear: it can reveal
something true about us or it can be misleading.
Politics
Politics is an extension into adulthood of everything
that we disdain about adolescence.
Power
There is great power in restraint.
