Some of my very favourite pick me up's and let's get going again sayings....

There is great treasure there behind our skull and this is true about all
of us. This little treasure has great, great powers, and I would say we
only have learned a very, very small part of what it can do.

- Isaac Bashevis Singer, 904-1991, Polish-born American Journalist,
Writer

I believe that it is better to tell the truth than a lie. I believe it is
better to be free than to be a slave. And I believe it is better to know
than to be ignorant.

==========================================

To love someone deeply gives you strength. Being loved by someone deeply
gives you courage.
- Lao-Tzu, BC 600-?, Chinese Philosopher, Founder of Taoism, Author of the
''Tao Te Ching''

The most valuable things in life are not measured in monetary terms. The
really important things are not houses and lands, stocks and bonds,
automobiles and real state, but friendships, trust, confidence, empathy,
mercy, love and faith.
- Bertrand Russell, 1872-1970, British Philosopher, Mathematician,
Essayist

==========================================
"The time is always right to do what is right" - Martin Luther King, Jr.

In every person who comes near you look for what is good and strong, honor
that; try to imitate it, and your faults will drop off like dead leaves
when their time comes. - John Ruskin, 1819-1900, British Critic, Social
Theorist

Cherish your visions and your dreams as they are the children of your
soul; the blue prints of your ultimate accomplishments.
-Napoleon Hill, 1883-1970, American Speaker, Motivational Writer, ''Think
and Grow Rich''

Love is a force more formidable than any other. It is invisible -- it
cannot be seen or measured; yet it is powerful enough to transform you in
a moment, and offer you more joy than any material possession could.

- Barbara De Angelis, American Expert on Relationship & Love, Author

If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is
where they should be. Now put foundations under them.
- Henry David Thoreau, 1817-1862, American Essayist, Poet, Naturalist

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The nobler sort of man emphasizes the good qualities in others, and does
not accentuate the bad. The inferior does the reverse.
- Confucius, BC 551-479, Chinese Ethical Teacher, Philosopher
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Happiness is a butterfly, which, when pursued, is always just beyond your
grasp, but which, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you.
-Nathaniel Hawthorne, 1804-1864, American Novelist, Short Story Writer

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Better to light a candle than to curse the darkness.
Do the thing you fear to do and keep on doing it... that is the quickest
and surest way ever yet discovered to conquer fear.
- Dale Carnegie, 1888-1955, American Author, Trainer

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

=================================================
No pessimist ever discovered the secrets of the stars, or sailed to an
unchartered land, or opened a new heaven to the human spirit.
-Helen Keller, 1880-1968, American Blind/Deaf Author, Lecturer, Amorist

"The best thing to give to your enemy is forgiveness; to an opponent,
tolerance; to a friend, your heart; to your child, a good example; to a
father, deference; to your mother, conduct that will make her proud of
you; to yourself, respect; to all men, charity.

- Arthur James Balfour, 1848-1930, British Conservative Politician, Prime
Minister

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To the man who only has a hammer, everything he encounters begins to look
like a nail.
1908-1970, American Psychologist

Sunday, April 6, 2003

If a man is called to be a street sweeper, he should sweep streets even as
Michelangelo painted, or Beethoven composed music or Shakespeare wrote
poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and
earth will pause to say, here lived a great street sweeper who did his job
well.

- Martin Luther King, Jr.1929-1968, American Civil Rights Leader, Nobel
Prize Winner, 1964.

Seek out that particular mental attribute which makes you feel most deeply
and vitally alive, along with which comes the inner voice which says,
"This is the real me," and when you have found that attitude, follow it.

-William James, 1842-1910, American Psychologist, Professor, Author
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

No one is in control of your happiness but you; therefore, you have the
power to change anything about yourself or your life that you want to
change.
- Barbara De Angelis, American Expert on Relationship & Love, Author
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Opportunities are usually disguised as hard work, so most people don't
recognize them.

Ann Landers 1918-2002, American Advice Columnist
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The victory of success is half won when one gains the habit of setting
goals and achieving them. Even the most tedious chore will become
endurable as you parade through each day convinced that every task, no
matter how menial or boring, brings you closer to fulfilling your dreams.

1923-1996, American Motivational Author, Speaker

Blessed are those who can give without remembering and take without
forgetting.

-Elizabeth Bibesco (1897-1945), British author, poet. Her works include
"The Fir and the Palm" and "Balloons," 1922.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Do the thing you fear to do and keep on doing it... that is the quickest
and surest way ever yet discovered to conquer fear.
- Dale Carnegie, 1888-1955, American Author, Trainer

=================================================
-Obstacles are like wild animals. They are cowards but they will bluff you
if they can. If they see you are afraid of them...they are liable to
spring upon you; but...if you look them squarely in they eye, they will
slink out of sight.

- Orison Swett Marden, 1850-1924, American Author, Founder of Success
Magazine
======================================================

No man ever achieved worthwhile success who did not, at one time or other,
find himself with at least one foot hanging well over the brink of
failure.
-Napoleon Hill, 1883-1970, American Speaker, Motivational Writer, ''Think
and Grow Rich''

"No matter what age you are, or what your circumstances might be, you are
special, and you still have something unique to offer. Your life, because
of who you are, has meaning."
*Barbara De Angelis {American Relationship Expert}

It doesn't matter which side of the fence you get off on sometimes. What
matters most is getting off. You cannot make progress without making
decisions.
- Jim Rohn, American Businessman, Author, Speaker, Philosopher

"You will either step forward into growth or you will step back into
safety." - Abraham Maslow

Our deepest fear is NOT that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that
we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that
most frightens us. We ask ourselves, "Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous,
talented and fabulous?" Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child
of God; your playing small doesn't serve the world. There is nothing
enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure
around you.
-Marianne Williamson 1952-, American Author, Lecturer on Spirituality

You can have brilliant ideas, but if you can't get them across, your ideas
won't get you anywhere. - Lee Iacocca, 1924-, American Businessman, Former
CEO of Chrysler

Do the kinds of things that come from your heart. When you do you won't be
dissatisfied, you won't be envious, you won't be longing for someone
else's things. On the contrary, you'll be overwhelmed with what comes
back.

You cannot change your destination overnight, but you can change your
direction overnight.
- Jim Rohn, American Businessman, Author, Speaker, Philosopher

Don't wait until everything is just right. It will never be perfect. There
will always be challenges, obstacles and less than perfect conditions. So
what. Get started now. With each step you take, you will grow stronger and
stronger, more and more skilled, more and more self-confident and more and
more successful.
- Mark Victor Hansen, American Motivational Speaker, Author of ChickenSoup Series

Do your work with mastery. Like the moon, come out from behind the clouds!
