"You only truly believe that which activates you."
- Donald Rogers "Virtually nothing comes out right the first time. Repeated failures are fingerposts on the road to achievement. The only time that you don\'t fail is the last time you try something and it works -- one fails forward."
- Charles Kettering "He is no fool who gives up that which he cannot keep to gain that which he can never lose."
- Jim Elliott "Cogito ergo sum."
- Rene Descartes "Give a man a thought, he\'ll pass a test. Teach a man to think, he\'ll pass life\'s tests."
- J. Durbano "With us, heretical opinions do not perceptibly gain, or even lose, ground in each decade or generation; they never blaze out far and wide, but continue to smoulder in the narrow circles of thinking and studious persons among whom they originate, without ever lighting up the general affairs of mankind with either a true or a deceptive light. And thus is kept up a state of things very satisfactory to some minds, because, without the unpleasant process of fining or imprisoning anybody, it maintains all prevailing opinions outwardly undisturbed, while it does not absolutely interdict the exercise of reason by dissentients afflicted with the malady of thought . . . but the price paid for this sort of intellectual pacification is the sacrifice of the entire moral courage of the human mind."
- John Stuart Mill "Act as if it were impossible to fail."
- Dorothea Brande "If you think education is expensive, try ignorance."
- Unknown An old philosophical fable tells us there once lived a lion who was so self-confident and ferocious that he devoured a bull. Having succeeded in this incredible feat gave him such confidence that he roared. A hunter heard the lion\'s roar and promptly shot him. The moral of that fable is abundantly clear: "If you\'re full of bull, keep your mouth shut." ". . . those who rise to the headiest heights in any field aren\'t necessarily the ones with the greatest natural talent. They\'re the diligent few who put in the hours. They work hard. And then they work harder."
- John E. Anderson "If you think of work as punishment you\'ll never achieve your goals. Working hard does have its drawbacks, its difficult and painful moments. There\'ll be times when you\'ll want to chuck the whole thing. But for every drawback, there\'s a benefit."
- John E. Anderson "What is the meaning of life? The reluctance to answer the question is the fear of responsibility."
- R. F. Laird "Education is not preparation for life -- education is life itself."
- John Dewey "To ask if it is love indicates doubt. Love is sure, and is built on inner realities. Love means liking a person as well as loving. Love is giving, not taking. It is wanting the best for the one you love. Love is on the go. It makes you want to charge out into the world and do, as well as think, big. It doesn\'t keep you inert, daydreaming and cooped up with only one person.
Love wants to share. To the one you love, you give your thoughts and your dreams. A new happiness comes with sharing them.
Mature love is honest and open. As time goes by and you learn more about the object of your affections, your love seems to grow stronger.
When love meets these criteria, then you can be pretty sure it is "real," and then you will want to make plans for the future."
- Abigail Van Buren (Dear Abby) "History must repeat itself because we pay such little attention to it the first time."
- Blackie Sherrod "What luck for rulers that men do not think."
- Adolf Hitler "You can lead a boy to college, but you can\'t make him think."
- God\'s Little Instruction Book For Students "God gives us a lamp at our feet -- not a spotlight unto our path."
- Unknown "Luck is the residue of design."
- Branch Rickey "Intelligence without ambition is a bird without wings."
- C. Archie Danielson "Just as iron rusts from disuse, even so does inaction spoil the intellect."
- Leonardo da Vinci "God gives every bird his worm, but he does not throw it into the nest."
- Swedish Proverb "The universe is run by ascertain rules, and those rules are written in math."
- Unknown "Preach the gospel everywhere you go and, if necessary, use words."
- St. Francis of Assissi "Science can amuse and fascinate us all, but it is engineering that changes the world."
- Isaac Asimov "A genius is a person who aims at something no else can see . . . and hits it."
- Unknown "Education is moving from the unconscious to the conscious awareness of one\'s ignorance."
- Unknown "Math is like love -- a simple idea but it can get complicated."
- R. Draybek "A friend is someone who knows all about you and and still likes you."
- Elbert Hubbard "Education is not a matter of filling up a vessel, but of lighting a fire."
- John Keates "Dance as if no one is watching and love as if you cannot be hurt."
- Unknown "Confidence comes not from always being right but from not fearing to be wrong."
- Peter T. McIntyre "What you discover on your own is always more exciting than what someone else discovers for you -- it\'s like the difference between romantic love and an arranged marriage."
- Terrence Rafferty "Doubt is often the beginning of wisdom."
- M. Scott Peck "As we have taken the circle as the symbol of reason and madness, we may very well take the cross as the symbol at once of mystery and of health. Buddhism is centripetal, but Christianity is centrifugal: it breaks out. For the circle is perfect and infinite in its nature; but it is fixed for ever in its size; it can never be larger or smaller. But the cross, though it has at its heart a collision and a contradiction, can extend its four arms for ever without altering its shape. Because it has a paradox in its center it can grow without changing."
- G. K. Chesterton "In so far as religion is gone, reason is going. For they are both of the same primary and authoritative kind. They are both methods of proof which cannot themselves be proved."
- G. K. Chesterton "We are made strong by what we overcome."
- John Burroughs "God is like a linked list: he is a pointer to the next node -- not an index to the entire array."
- A. Towle "We must all hang together or most assuredly we will all hang separately." -Ben Franklin "If you love life then you will not squander time, for that is the stuff life is made of." - Ben Franklin "When you share your ideas you have more." - Kristyn Hall, age 5 "While we may not be able to control all that happens to us, we can control what happens inside us." - Ben Franklin "Never let formal education get in the way of your learning." - Mark Twain "One\'s potential is unlimited." - Sam Welker, FL Key Club Administrator "Success only comes before work in the dictionary." - Anonymous "If you would hit the mark, you must aim a little above it." - Henry Wadsworth Longfellow "Let\'s go out and make it happen." - Chip Conk "Leadership is an opportunity to serve. It is not a trumpet call to self importance." - Anonymous "Courage is the main quality of leadership, in my opinion, no matter where it is exercised." - Walt Disney "Teamwork: Coming together is a beginning, keeping together is progress, and working together is success." -Henry Ford "To err is human, to forgive divine" -Alexander Pope, An Essay on Criticism "If you think education is expensive - try ignorance." - Derek Bok "There is enough in the world for everyone to have plenty to live on happily and to be at peace with his neighbors." - Harry S. Truman "Lead wisely and others will follow cheerfully and with purpose." - Anonymous "No act of kindness, however small, is ever wasted." - Aesop "We must learn to live together as brothers or perish together as fools." - Martin Luther King, Jr. TEAM:
