Inspiration
FROM THE FAMOUS (AND NOT SO FAMOUS)
Nothing
which is morally wrong, can ever be politically right. It is the
mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting
it. Anyone
who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new. To begin
to think with purpose is to enter the ranks of those strong ones who
only recognize failure as one of the pathways to attainment. To become
an able and successful man in any profession, three things are necessary:
nature, study and practice. Success
is the result of perfection, hard work, learning from failure, loyalty,
and persistence. Nothing
can stop the man with the right mental attitude from achieving his goal;
nothing on earth can help the man with the wrong mental attitude. Throughout
history, it has been the inaction of those who could have acted, the
indifference of those who should have known better, the silence of the
voice of justice when it mattered most that has made it possible for
evil to triumph. I know
not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV
will be fought with sticks and stones. Success
is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you
love what you are doing, you will be successful. If you
want peace, work for justice. Someone
who never makes mistakes is someone who never really lived. Aim at
the sun and you may not reach it; but your arrow will fly higher than
if aimed at an object on a level with yourself. Try not
to become a man of success but rather try to become a man of value. When building
a team, always look for people who love to win. If you can't find any
of those, search for people who hate to lose. I would
never die for my beliefs because I might be wrong. A man who
won't die for something is not fit to live. Quotations are added frequently. Please check back often. *** Our Residents Have More Meaningful Messages! |

It
is from numberless diverse acts of courage and belief that human history
is shaped. Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve
the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth
a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different
centers of energy and daring, those ripples build a current that can
sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance.
