| "We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, therefore, is not an act, but a habit." Aristotle | |||
| The
first virtue of all really great men is that they are sincere. They
eradicate hypocrisy from their hearts. - -- Anotole France |
 |
I
don't like work... but I like what is in work -- the chance to find
yourself. Your own reality -- for yourself, not for others -- which no
other man can ever know. - -- Joseph Conrad |
Misery loves company. Wanna hang out? |
 |
What
lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what
lies within us. - -- William Morrow |
We
can often do more for other men by trying to correct our own faults than
by trying to correct theirs. - -- Francois Fenelon |
 |
| The most important thing I have learned over the
years is the difference between taking one's work seriously and taking
one's self seriously. The first is imperative, and the second
disastrous. - - Margaret Fontey |
Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act
rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those
because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence,
then, is not an act but a habit. - -- Aristotle |
|
Determine never to be idle. No person will have occasion to complain of
the want of time who never loses any. It is wonderful how much can be
done if we are always doing. - Thomas Jefferson advising his daughter Martha, 1787. |
|
Do not falter or shrink; But just think out your
work, And just work out your think. |
 |
To love what you do and feel that it matters --
how could anything be more fun? - Katherine Graham |
Yesterday is history. Tomorrow a mystery. Today is
a gift. That's why it's called the present! Live and savor every moment...this is not a dress rehearsal! |

|
The firmest friendships have been formed in mutual adversity, as iron is
most strongly united by the fiercest flame. - Charles Caleb Colton |
Judgment
comes from experience, and great judgment comes from bad experience. - Robert Packwood |
 |
| The
great thing and the hard thing is to stick to things when you have
outlived the first interest, and not yet got the second, which comes
with a sort of mastery. - Janet Erskine Stuart |
As a
cure for worrying, work is better than whiskey. -- Thomas A. Edison |
 |
The sign of intelligent people
is their ability to control emotions by the application of reason. - Marya Mannes |
|
"...the fates lead those who will, and drag those who won't." -Seneca |
 |
Courtesy is simply doing unto
others what you would like them to do unto you. - Anonymous |
The road to happiness lies in
two simple principles: find what it is that interests you and that you
can do well, and when you find it, put your whole soul into it -- every
bit of energy and ambition and natural ability you have. - John D. Rockefeller III |

The sanity was not lost because he ended up alone, | but because everything he did in life was to prevent it. | Let
praise be given equally to women as well as men who have been
distinguished in virtue. - -- Plato |
