"And as my hands drop the last desperate pen, in some cheap room, they will find me there and never know my name, my meaning, nor the treasure of my escape."
Henry Chinaski
"The elevator to health, happiness,
and success is out of order. You have to take the stairs, one step at a
time."
Joe Girard
"I have had Meniere's for years and always felt that I
was just lazy or crazy. When you finally think that you have lost
everything..... you find something worth more than you had."
Vonda
".......and miles to go before I sleep. And miles to go before I sleep."
Robert Frost

Dale Carnegie
There is nothing else that so kills the ambitions of a man as criticism from his superiors.
I never criticize anyone. I believe in giving a man incentive to work. So I am anxious to praise
but loath to find fault. If I like anything, I am hearty in my approbation and lavish in my
praise."
Charles Schwab
"In my wide association in life, meeting with many and great men in various parts of the world,
I have yet to find a man, however great or exalted his situation, who did not do better work
and put forth greater effort under the spirit of approval than he would ever do under a spirit
of criticism."
Charles Schwab
"When we are not engaged in thinking about some definite problem, we usually spend about 95
per cent of our time thinking about ourselves. Now, if we stop thinking about ourselves for
awhile and begin to think of the other man's good points, we won't have to resort to flattery
so cheap and false that it can be spotted almost before it comes out of the mouth."
Dale Carnegie
"Why talk about what we want? That is childish. Absurd. Of course you are interested in what you
want. You are eternally interested in it. But no one else is. The rest of us are just like you:
we are interested in what we want.
So the only way on earth to influence the other fellow is talk about what he wants and show
him how to get it."
Dale Carnegie
"Whatever the mind of man can concieve and believe, it can achieve."
Napoleon Hill
Ralph W. Emerson
"The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars,
But in ourselves, that we are underlings."
--From Julius Caesar (I, ii,)
"The secret of life then is to
control your mental states, for if you will do this the rest will follow. To accept sickness, trouble, and failure as unavoidable, and perhaps inevitable, is folly, because it is this very acceptance by you that keeps these evils in existence. Man is not limited by his environment. He creates his environments by
his beliefs and feelings. To suppose otherwise is like thinking that the tail can wag the dog."
Emmet Fox
"...if you talk all the time, you will never hear what anybody else has to say, and therefore, all you'll have to talk about is your own conversation. The same is true for people who think all the time. That means, when I use the word 'think,' talking to yourself, subvocal conversation, the constant chit-chat of symbols and images and talk and words inside your skull. Now, if you do that all the time, you'll find that you've nothing to think about except thinking, and just as you have to stop talking to hear what I have to say, you have to stop thinking to find out what life is about."
Alan Watts
Samuel Langhorne Clemens
Therefore whoever desires success
should honor the knower of the self.
That one knows the supreme home of God,
founded on which the whole world shines radiantly."
--from the ManDukya Upanishad
Look at the real form of the universe,
All is the never-failing manifestation,
Of the mysterious truth of the Awakened Life..........."
--from the Bodhisattva's Vow
Torei Enji 1721-1792 C.E.
"The world is your kaleidoscope, and the varying combinations of colors that it at every succeeding moment presents to you, are the exquisitely adjusted pictures of your ever-moving thoughts."
James Allen (As A Man Thinketh)
