Here's one of my fav's: "Tell me who your friends are and I will tell you who you are. A mirror reflects a man's face, but what he is really like is shown by the kind of friends he chooses. The simple truth is, you become like those with whom you closely associae - for the good and the bad! Choose your friends wisely" Anonymous |

Great thread! Here are some of my favourites: Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will. –Mahatma Gandhi If I have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it even if I may not have the capacity at the beginning. –Mahatma Gandhi A champion is someone who gets up when he can’t. –Jack Dempsey When the archer misses the mark, he turns and looks for the fault within himself. Failure to hit the bull's eye is never the fault of the target. To improve your aim -- improve yourself. -Gilbert Arland Endurance is one of the most difficult disciplines, but it is to the one who endures that the final victory comes. –Buddha |

Repetition does not transform a lie into a truth. - Franklin D. Roosevelt It is absurd to divide people into good and bad. People are either charming or tedious. - Oscar Wilde Life's challenges are not supposed to paralyze you, they're supposed to help you discover who you are. ~ Bernice Johnson Reagon |

“My family won’t receive huge amounts of my net worth. That doesn’t mean they’ll get nothing. My children have already received some money from me and Susie and will receive more. I still believe in the philosophy – FORTUNE quoted me saying this 20 years ago – that a very rich person should leave his kids enough to do anything but not enough to do nothing.” -Warren Buffet The last line of that quote is just so precise and exacting, it makes me want to be able to communicate my thoughts that clearly. -Brett |

I know the thread says to post a quote, but I have to post the following poem. The entire thing is a quotable. Dean Alfange - An American’s Creed I do not choose to be a common man It is my right to be uncommon... If I can. I seek opportunity... Not security. I do not wish to be a kept citizen, Humbled and dulled by having the state to dream and build, to Fail and succeed. I refuse to barter incentive for a dole. I prefer the challenges of life to the Guaranteed existence; the thrill of Fulfillment to the stale calm of utopia. I will not trade freedom for beneficence Nor my dignity for a hand out. I will Never cower before any master nor bend to any threat. It is my heritage to stand erect, proud, and unafraid; to think and act for myself; enjoy the benefits of my creations; and to face the world boldly and say, "This I have done with my own hand, I am a man. I am an American. |
