Faith Is the Secret

      If you believe in what you are doing, then let nothing hold you up in your work. Much of the best work of the world has been done against seeming impossibilities. The thing is to get the work done. Dale Carnegie   Believe in something larger than yourself ... to get involved in some of the big ideas of our time. Barbara Bush   A little reflection will show us that every belief, even the simplest and most fundamental, goes beyond experience when regarded as a guide to our actions. William Kingdon Clifford

Virtue Begins with Knowledge

    Virtue is an angel, but she is a blind one, and must ask Knowledge to show her the pathway that leads to her goal. Horace Mann   When we are planning for posterity, we ought to remember that virtue is not hereditary. Thomas Paine   Is there no virtue among us? If there be not, we are in a wretched situation. No theoretical checks-no form of government can render us secure. To suppose that any form of government will secure liberty or happiness without any virtue in the people, is a chimerical idea, if there be sufficient virtue and intelligence in the community, it will be exercised in the selection of these men. So that we do not depend on their virtue, or put confidence in our rulers, but in the people who are to choose them. James Madison    

Set Your Sail Aright

  There is only one corner of the universe you can be certain of improving, and that's your own self. Aldous Huxley   The privilege of a lifetime is being who you are. Joseph Campbell   Lend yourself to others, but give yourself to yourself. Michel de Montaigne   Put all excuses aside and remember this: YOU are capable. Zig Ziglar   I am not afraid of storms for I am learning how to sail my ship. Louisa May Alcott   Someone's opinion of you does not have to become your reality. Les Brown    

The Principle of Vision

    “Knowledge is love and light and vision.” Helen Keller   “Therefore art means: you have to believe, to have faith, that is, cultivate vision.” Josef Albers   “He who looks through an open window sees fewer things than he who looks through a closed window.” Charles Baudelaire
