If a man is called to be a street sweeper, he should sweep streets even as Michelangelo painted, or Beethoven played music, or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say, here lived a great street sweeper who did his job well.
-Martin Luther King, Jr.
Thomas Jefferson - "In matters of style, swim with the current; in matters of principle, stand like a rock."

You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. 16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.
Matthew 5:14-16
No existe casualidad sino destino
no se encuentra sino lo que se busca
y solo se busca aquello que existe
en lo más profundo del corazón.
Ernesto Sábato
"Education's purpose is to replace an empty mind with an open one."
- Malcolm Forbes
Marie Curie - "Nothing in life is to be feared. It is only to be understood."
Treat people as if they were what they ought to be and you help them become what they are capable of being. - Goethe
Our biggest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.
Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.
We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.
It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
-Coach Carter
Lou Holtz - "Life is ten percent what happens to you and ninety percent how you respond to it."
Bob Marley - "Don't gain the world and lose your soul, wisdom is better than silver or gold."
Edward Bulwer-Lytton - "Talent does what it can; genius does what it must."
Anais Nin - "We don't see things as they are, we see them as we are."
I know you all, and will awhile uphold
The unyoked humour of your idleness.
Yet herein will I imitate the sun,
Who doth permit the base contagious clouds
To smother up his beauty from the world,
That when he please again to be himself,
Being wanted, he may be more wondered at
By breaking through the foul and ugly mists
Of vapours that did seem to strangle him.
If all the year were playing holidays,
To sport would be as tedious as to work;
But when they seldom come, they wished-for come,
And nothing pleaseth but rare accidents.
So, when this loose behaviour I throw off
And pay the debt I never promised,
By how much better than my word I am,
By so much shall I falsify men's hopes;
And like bright metal on a sullen ground,
My reformation, glitt'ring o'er my fault,
Shall show more goodly and attract more eyes
Than that which hath no foil to set it off.
I'll so offend to make offence a skill,
Redeeming time when men think least I will.
-Shakespeare, Henry IV
Inspirations...(Some of my favorites)
Persecution you must bear
Win or lose you've got to get your share
Got your mind set on a dream
You can get it, though harder them seem now
(Jimmy Cliff - You gan get it)
"Firstly you are supposed to be patriotic about being human, later about being of a particular country."
-Janaka
The road to success is not straight. There is a curve called Failure, a loop called Confusion, speed bumps called Friends, red lights called Enemies, caution lights called Family. You will have flats called Jobs. But, if you have a spare called Determination, an engine called Perseverance, insurance called Faith, you will make it to a place called Success
My grandfather once told me that there are two kinds of people:
those who do the work and those that take the credit. He told
me to try to be in the first group; there was less competition
there.
~Indira Gandhi~
Far and away the best prize that life offers is the chance to work hard at work worth doing
~Theodore Roosevelt~
'Take up one idea.
Make that one idea your life--think of it, dream of it, live on that idea......
Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body, be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. ....
This is the way to success, and this is the way great spiritual giants are produced. Others are mere talking machines.....
To succeed, you must have tremendous perseverance, tremendous will "I will drink the ocean," says the persevering soul, "at my will mountains will crumble up."
Have that sort of energy, that sort of will, work hard, and you will reach the goal. '
Swami Vivekanada
There are two ways of meeting difficulties:
" You alter the difficulties, or you alter yourself to meet them"
'I am an artist at living ..my work of art is my life'
Suzuki (one of my favorites)
We climb to heaven most often on the ruins of our cherished plans,
finding our failures were successes.
~Amos Bronson Alcott
"You have all the reason in the world to achieve your grandest dreams. Imagination plus innovation equals realization." Denis Waitley
Since I am that this day we are masters of our fate, that the task which has been set before us is not above our strength; that its pangs and toils are not beyond my endurance. As long as we have faith in our own cause and an unconquerable will to win, victory will not be denied us.
-Winston Churchill
I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not.
-Kurt Cobain
That's what music is entertainment. The more you put yourself into it, the more of you comes out in it.
-Kurt Cobain
Wanting to be someone else is a waste of the person you are.
-Kurt Cobain
I like the new skin better than the black one
"It is better to be told a hurtful truth than to be told a comforting lie. The worst thing about being lied to is knowing you weren't worth the truth." - Anon
At first they Ignore you,
Then they Laugh at you
Then they will fight you.
Then you win.
-M. Ghandi
"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed
by the things you did not do
than by the ones you did do.
So throw off the bowlines.
Sail away from the safe harbour, catch the trade winds in your sails.
Explore! Dream! Discover!" Mark Twain
Victor Hugo - "One can resist the invasion of an army but one cannot resist the invasion of ideas."
Mike Krzyzewski - "The truth is that many people set rules to keep from making decisions."
An amateur built an ark that survived a flood while a large group of professionals built the Titanic.
- Bill Swanson
