| c01b377 | What is the most important and valuable work that you do, in any field or profession? It's thinking! | Brian Tracy | ||
| 809b6b9 | The great summary statement of all religions, philosophies, metaphysics, psychology, and success is this: You become what you think about most of the time. Your outer world ultimately becomes a reflection of your inner world. Your outer world of experience mirrors back to you what you think about most of the time. Whatever you think about continuously emerges in your reality. | Brian Tracy | ||
| 538b4e4 | What one skill, if I developed and did it in an excellent fashion, would have the greatest positive impact on my career? | Brian Tracy | ||

| 6759cdf | There is more to life than just increasing its speed. | Brian Tracy | ||
| a255deb | You are where you are and what you are because of yourself. Everything you are today, or ever will be in the future, is up to you. Your life today is the sum total result of your choices, decisions and actions up to this point. You can create your own future by changing your behaviors. You can make new choices and decisions that are more consistent with the person you want to be and the things you want to accomplish with your life. | Brian Tracy | ||
| cf384a5 | Changing habits that are no longer consistent with your higher purposes is one of the hardest things you'll ever do, and one of the most essential to the quality of your life. | Brian Tracy | ||
| 9eb38f4 | A goal, however, is something distinctly different from a wish. It is clear, written, and specific. It can be quickly and easily described to another person. You can measure it, and you know when you have achieved it or not. | Brian Tracy | ||
| eafc07d | Anytime you stop striving to get better, you're bound to get worse. | Brian Tracy | ||
| 1a0411a | Refuse to allow a weakness or a lack of ability in any area to hold you back. Everything is learnable. And what others have learned, you can learn as well. | productivity | Brian Tracy | |
| cd2bd4b | Storytelling explores the problem with people. Stories without conflict are bad stories that no one repeats. Conflict describes the reality of human life and interaction with others. The resolution of the conflict in which everyone lives happily ever after reflects the human yearning for hope. | Harry Lee Poe | ||
| 42c3fb1 | She touched her hand to his cheek, and he turned toward her, his arms coming around her to draw her close, his cheek pressed to the side of her hair. She felt his chest lift against hers as he drew in a ragged breath and held her tight. And then he said the words she'd long thought she'd never hear. "God, how I love you, Hero. So much. So much..." | C.S. Harris | ||

| 4619a10 | It is always better to fail in doing something than to excel at doing nothing. | John Mason | ||
| 91d4938 | The fatherless man can find strength in the fatherhood of God. Through a relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ, God becomes our Father. He is proud of His children because He is pleased with His Son who lives in them. In Jesus, God was and is calling those who are His children as they hear His voice and respond by the power of the Holy Spirit ( John 8:39-47; 10:22-30). | Eric Mason | ||
| 6dc18b6 | Right is right even if everyone is against it, and wrong is wrong even if everyone is for it. | John Mason | ||
| ec0be59 | Do More... Do more than exist--live. Do more than hear--listen. Do more than agree--cooperate. Do more than talk--communicate. Do more than grow--bloom. Do more than spend--invest. Do more than think--create. Do more than work--excel. Do more than share--give. Do more than decide--discern. Do more than consider--commit. Do more than forgive--forget. Do more than help--serve.

| 23851c9 | Sooner or later Cleofes is gonna get it. | John Nichols | ||
| 3cb6505 | Politically, I have a lot of differences with many I encounter here. When visiting the homes of reactionary friends and neighbors, I enjoy hiding their copies of books by Glenn Beck and other lunatics around the house while my hosts cook or adjourn to relieve themselves. Ducking into a garage to deposit the latest ravings of Ann Coulter into a bag of aging peat moss lifts the spirit as unfailingly as a summer tent revival. But I am trying t.. | George Hodgman | ||
| 9b51922 | the antidote to death was and always would be the heat and fury of life itself. | life passion sex | A.J. Hartley and David Hewson | |
| e58bc64 | In their vanity men focus on what they wish to hear and miss the hidden meaning, the lurking threat. | threat vanity | David Hewson | |

| e04b219 | Do you think it's right for Christians to use the names of pagan gods for the days of the week? | Garrison Keillor | ||
| 67d39d1 | Woman: Did you know that women are smarter than men? Man: No, I didn't. Woman: See what I mean? | Garrison Keillor | ||
| 6c1198a | I just sort of slid into it, like you'd go for a walk in the woods and fall into a crevasse and wind up in a cave full of rubies and emeralds. | Garrison Keillor | ||
| 939ee09 | The teacher was asking her students what their parents did for a living, and Timmy stood up and said, "My daddy's a doctor and my mommy's a doctor too." And little Sarah stood up and said, "My mommy's an engineer and my daddy's an accountant." And then little Billy stands up and says, "My mommy's a writer and my daddy plays the piano in a whorehouse." The teacher was horrified and later she called Billy's father, and said, "Why would you ev.. | Garrison Keillor | ||

| 60ca012 | He takes a kitchen chair and sits in the yard and all the ducks come around. He holds up the cheese curls in one hand and caramel popcorn in the other and his audience looks up and he tells them a joke. He says: So one day a duck come into this bar and ordered a whiskey and a bump and the bartender was pretty surprised, he says, "You know we don't get many of you ducks in here." The duck says, "At these prices I'm not surprised.* And he tos.. | Garrison Keillor | ||

| 7e232a5 | How many consultants does it take to change a lightbulb? I'll have an estimate for you a week from Monday. | Garrison Keillor | ||
| a572b15 | The Union is what needs defending this year. Government of Enron and by Halliburton and for the Southern Baptists is not the same as what Lincoln spoke of. This gang of Republicans has humbugged us to death on terrorism and tax cuts for the comfy and school prayer and flag burning and claimed the right to know what books we read and to dump their sewage upstream from the rest of us and clear-cut the forests and gut the IRS and promote the c.. | conservatives flag-burning privatization republicans school-prayer tax-cuts | Garrison Keillor | |
| 2956b98 | We cater to the better class of gentile clientele. We reserve the right to decline service to anyone we deem to be incompatible. | Barbara Kingsolver | ||
| 43d6cf9 | Oh, America the Beautiful, where are our standards? How did Europeans, ancestral cultures to most of us, whose average crowded country would fit inside one of our national parks, somehow hoard the market share of Beautiful? They'll run over a McDonald's with a bulldozer because it threatens the way of life of their fine cheeses. They have international trade hissy fits when we try to slip modified genes into their bread. They get their favo.. | Barbara Kingsolver | ||

| d3143fa | If people really gave it full consideration, I mean, like if you could return a baby after thirty days' examination like one of those Time-Life books, then I figure the entire human species would go extinct in a month's time. | Barbara Kingsolver | ||
| 0b34c64 | I do understand that they fall when I'm least able to pay attention because poems fall not from a tree, really, but from the richly pollinated boughs of an ordinary life, buzzing, as lives do, with clamor and glory. They are easy to miss but everywhere: poetry just is, whether we revere it or try to put it in prison. It is elementary grace, communicated from one soul to another. | grace life poems poetry | Barbara Kingsolver | |
| 60e8b4d | She made it plain that her fondest wish was to have a grandbaby. Whenever fat Irene would pick up the baby, which was not too often, Mrs. Hoge would declare, "Irene, you don't know how becoming that looks." As if someone ought to have a kid because it looked good on them." -- | Barbara Kingsolver | ||
