September 30th, 2006 Life is not holding a good hand; Life is playing a poor hand well. ~Danish proverb September 23rd, 2006 Never, never, never give up. ~Winston Churchill September 16th, 2006 The world is a dangerous place, not because of those who do evil, but because of those who look on and do nothing. ~Albert Einstein September 9th, 2006 The resolve of our great nation is being tested. But make no mistake, we will show the world that we will pass the test. ~George W. Bush [speech on September 11, 2001] September 2nd, 2006 The test of a successful person is not an ability to eliminate all problems before they arise, but to meet and work out difficulties when they do arise. We must be willing to make an intelligent compromise with perfection lest we wait forever before taking action. It's still good advice to cross bridges as we come to them. ~David Joseph Schwartz August 26th, 2006 To reach a port we must sail, sometimes with the wind and sometimes against it.

Pike July 29th, 2006 Waste no more time arguing about what a good man should be. Be one. ~Marcus Aurelius July 22nd, 2006 It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat. ~Theodore Roosevelt July 15th, 2006 The world men inhabit is rather bleak. It is a world full of doubt and confusion, where vulnerability must be hidden, not shared; where competition, not co-operation, is the order of the day; where men sacrifice the possibility of knowing their own children and sharing in their upbringing, for the sake of a job they may have chosen by chance, which may not suit them and which in many cases dominates their lives to the exclusion of much else. ~Anna Ford July 8th, 2006 It takes more courage to reveal insecurities than to hide them, more strength to relate to people than to dominate them, more 'manhood' to abide by thought-out principles rather than blind reflex. Toughness is in the soul and spirit, not in muscles and an immature mind. ~Alex Karras July 1st, 2006 Call it a clan, call it a network, call it a tribe, call it a family: Whatever you call it, whoever you are, you need one. ~Jane Howard June 24th, 2006 Self-love, my liege, is not so vile a sin as self-neglecting. ~William Shakespeare June 17th, 2006 Let us endeavor so to live that when we come to die even the undertaker will be sorry. ~Mark Twain June 10th, 2006 Children have more need of models than critics. ~Joseph Joubert June 3rd, 2006 Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty. Anyone who keeps learning stays young. The greatest thing in life is to keep your mind young. ~Henry Ford May 26th, 2006 There are two types of people. Those who come into a room and say, "Well, here I am!" and those who come in and say, "Ah, there you are." ~Frederick L. Collins May 19th, 2006 Quit now, you'll never make it. If you disregard this advice, you'll be halfway there. ~David Zucker May 12th, 2006 Having children makes you no more a parent than having a piano makes you a pianist. ~Martin Mull May 5th, 2006 The size of your success is measured by the strength of your desire; the size of your dream; and how you handle disappointment along the way. ~Robert Kiyosaki April 29th, 2006 Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan "press on" has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race. ~Calvin Coolidge April 22nd, 2006 Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, "I will try again tomorrow. ~Mary Anne Radmacher April 15th, 2006 A conversation is a dialogue, not a monologue. That's why there are so few good conversations: due to scarcity, two intelligent talkers seldom meet. ~Truman Capote April 8th, 2006 Let me tell you the secret that has led me to my goal: my strength lies solely in my tenacity. ~Louis Pasteur April 1st, 2006 Desire is the key to motivation, but it's determination and commitment to an unrelenting pursuit of your goal - a commitment to excellence - that will enable you to attain the success you seek. ~Mario Andretti March 27th, 2006 The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands in times of challenge and controversy. ~Martin Luther King, Jr March 18th, 2006 In each of us are places where we have never gone. Only by pressing the limits do you ever find them. ~Dr. Joyce Brothers March 11th, 2006 Strength does not come from winning. Your struggles develop your strengths. When you go through hardships and decide not to surrender, that is strength. ~Arnold Schwarzenegger March 4th, 2006 The best way out is always through. ~Robert Frost February 24th, 2006 It takes a lot of courage to release the familiar and seemingly secure, to embrace the new. But there is no real security in what is no longer meaningful. There is more security in the adventurous and exciting, for in movement there is life, and in change there is power. ~Alan Cohen February 17th, 2006 Experience is that marvelous thing that enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again. ~F.P. Jones February 10th, 2006 This year, or this month, or, more likely, this very day, we have failed to practise ourselves the kind of behaviour we expect from other people. ~C.S. Lewis February 3rd, 2006 Men are disturbed not by things, but by the view that they take of them. ~Epictetus January 27th, 2006 Men are four: He who knows and knows not that he knows.

So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover. ~Mark Twain January 13th, 2006 Good fellowship and friendship are lasting, rational and manly pleasures. ~William Wycherley January 6th, 2006 The man who makes everything that leads to happiness depends upon himself, and not upon other men, has adopted the very best plan for living happily. This is the man of moderation, the man of manly character and of wisdom. ~Plato December 31st, 2005 Nothing great in the world has ever been accomplished without passion. ~G. W. F.

Most talents are, to some extent, a gift. Good character, by contrast, is not given to us.
