Most people do not really want freedom, because freedom involves responsibility, and most people are frightened of responsibility.
Sigmund Freud

The power of ideals is incalculable. We see no power in a drop of water, but let it get into a crack in the rock and be turned into ice, and it splits the rock. Turned into steam, it drives the pistons of the most powerful engines. Something has happened to it which makes active and effective the power that is latent in it. So it is with ideals. Ideals are thoughts. So long as they exist merely as thoughts, the power latent in them remains ineffective, however great the enthusiasm and however strong the conviction with which the thought is held. Their power becomes effective only when acted upon.
Albert Schweitzer (1875-1965)

When you learn to totally own a problem, the problem doesn't stand a chance.
Steve Chandler, "Reinventing Yourself"

If you have an apple and I have an apple and we exchange these apples then you and I will still each have one apple. But if you have an idea and I have an idea and we exchange these ideas, then each of us will have two ideas.
George Bernard Shaw

Use what talent you possess - the woods would be very silent if no birds sang except those that sang best.

When people plan to erect a lofty and large building, they make the foundations all the deeper. But those who lay the foundation are forced to descend into the depths.

Part of being a winner is knowing when enough is enough. Sometimes you have to give up the fight and walk away, and move on to something that's more productive.

When you read a classic you do not see in the book more than you did before. You see more in you than there was before.
Clifton Paul Fadiman (1904-)

You are enrolled in a full-time informal school called "life." Each day in this school you will have the opportunity to learn lessons. You may like the lessons or hate them, but you have designed them as part of your curriculum. There really is no way to avoid the lessons you are presented with, nor is there any chance that you will be able to skirt around the learning process.
C. Carter-Scott

People working together in a strong community with a shared goal and a common purpose can make the impossible possible.
Tom Vilsack

A true university can never rest upon the will of one man. A true university always rests upon the wills of many divergent-minded old men, who refuse to be disturbed, but who growl in their kennels.
John Jay Chapman

A bank is a place where they lend you an umbrella in fair weather and ask for it back when it begins to rain.
Robert Frost

You're not obligated to win. You're obligated to keep trying to do the best you can every day.
Marian Wright Edelman

There is no oil, if olives are not squeezed.
No wine, if grapes are not pressed.
No perfume, if flowers are not crushed.
Have you felt any pressure in life today ?
Don’t worry … God is just bringing out the best in you.

Resolve to be a master of change rather than a victim of change.
