The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life.
Attitude to me is more important than facts.
It is more important than the past, than education, than money,
than circumstances, than failures, than success,
than what other people think or say or do.
It is more important than appearance, gift, or skill.
It will make or break a company ... a church ... a home.
The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day
regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day.
We cannot change our past ...
we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way.
We cannot change the inevitable.
The only thing we can do is play on the string we have,
and that is our attitude.
I am convinced that life is 10 percent what happens to me
and 90 percent how I react to it.
And so it is with you ...
we are in charge of our attitudes.
- Charles Swindoll

Leaders are made rather than born.
- Warren G. Bennis
Jealousy is a disease, love is a healthy condition.
The immature mind often mistakes one for the other,
or assumes that the greater the love, the greater the jealousy -

one emotion hardly leaves room for the other.
Both at once can produce unbearable turmoil.
- Robert Heinlein
He didn't come out of my belly, but my God,
I've made his bones, because I've attended to every meal,

I'm so proud of all those things.
But he is my biggest pride.
- John Lennon

than that of blindfolded fear.

the present is part of eternity.

to choose one's own way.

I accept gratefully the entirety of my past and my present life.

you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself,
and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.
