Failure is not

"Failure is not a disgrace if you

have sincerely done your best."

Napoleon Hill

On wisdom...

“The saddest aspect of life right now 

is that science gathers knowledge 

faster than society gathers wisdom.”

Isaac Asimov

Ignorance, arrogance and wealth

" Ignorance, arrogance and wealth:

the formula for a perfect disaster

for self and others"

Old world saying

A new consciousness

"A new consciousness is developing which 

sees the earth as a single organism and 

recognizes that an organism at war with itself 

is doomed. We are one planet. One of the great 

revelations of the age of space exploration is 

the image of the earth finite and lonely, 

somehow vulnerable, bearing the entire human 

species through the oceans of space and time.”

Carl Sagan

A free man,,,

"A free man fears nothing."

Napoleon Hill

Comfortable with who you are...

“The moment will arrive when you are comfortable

with who you are, and what you are– bald or old or

fat or poor, successful or struggling- when you don't

feel the need to apologize for anything or to deny

anything. To be comfortable in your own skin is the

beginning of strength.”

Charles Handy

The importance of mindfulness...

"Watch your thoughts; they become words.

Watch your words; they become actions.

Watch your actions; they become habits.

Watch your habits; they become character.

Watch your character; it becomes your 

destiny."

Lao Tzu

Who is more humble?

“Who is more humble? The scientist who looks 

at the universe with an open mind and accepts 

whatever the universe has to teach us, or 

somebody who says everything in this book 

must be considered the literal truth and never 

mind the fallibility of all the human beings 

involved?”

Carl Sagan

Dare

 

"If you think you dare not, you don’t."

Napoleon Hill
