BETWEEN stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. VIKTOR FRANKEL
NOTHING IN LIFE IS TO BE FEARED, IT is only to be understood. Now is the time to understand more, so that we may fear less.

ANDREW CARNEGIE 1835-1919 Industrialist & Philanthropist.
THINK OF YOURSELF AS ON THE THRESHOLD OF UNPARALLELED SUCCESS. A WHOLE, CLEAR, GLORIOUS LIFE LIES BEFFORE YOU.
THE greatest astonishment of my life was the discovery that the man who does the work is not the man who gets rich.
NO MAN BECOMES RICH UNLESS HE ENRICHES OTHERS.
YOU are what you think. So just think big, believe big, act big, work big, give big, forgive big, laugh big, love big and live big.
WEALTH is not to feed our egos but to feed the hungry and to help people help themselves.
IF YOU WANT TO BE HAPPY, set a goal that commands your thoughts, liberates your energy and inspires your hopes.
THE POWER to take possession of your own. mind and direct it to whatever ends you may desire.
THE BEST TIME to expand is when no one else dares to take risks.
DO REAL AND PERMANENT GOOD IN THIS WORLD.
THE MAN WHO DIES RICH — DIES DISGRACED.
THE SECRET OF HAPPINESS IS RENUNCIATION.
THERE IS LITTLE SUCCESS WHERE THERE IS LITTLE LAUGHTER.
THE SOLE PURPOSE OF BEING RICH IS TO GIVE AWAY MONEY.
THE RARE INDIVIDUALS who unselfishly try to serve others have an enormous advantage — they have little competition.
THERE IS NO IDOL MORE DEBASING THAN THE WORSHIP OF MONEY.
ANYTHING IN LIFE WORTH HAVING IS WORTH WORKING FOR.
IT is more difficult to give money away intelligently than to earn it in the first place.
I am no longer cursed by poverty because I took possession of my own mind and that mind has yielded me every material thing I want and much more than I need. But this power of mind is a universal one available to the humblest person as it is to the greatest.
A MAN’S READING PROGRAM should be as carefully planned as his daily diet, for that too is food, without which he cannot grow mentally.
LEWIS THOMAS 1913-1993 THE LIVES OF A CELL”
STATISTICALLY the probability of anyone of us being here is so small that you’d think the mere fact of existing would keep us all in a contented dazzlement of surprise.
WE ARE perhaps uniquely among the earth’s creatures the worrying animal. We worry away our lives, fearing the future, discontent with the present, unable to take in the idea of dying, unable to sit still.
THE CAPACITY TO BLUNDER slightly is the real marvel of DNA. Without this special attribute, we would still be anaerobic bacteria and there would be no music.
SCIENCE is founded on uncertainty. Each time we learn something new and surprising, the astonishment comes with the realization that we were wrong before.
WE LEAVE TRACES OF OURSELVES WHEREVER we go, on whatever we touch.
