| Remember that the people you are talking to are a hundred times more interested in themselves and their wants and problems than they are in you and your problems. A person’s toothache means more to that person than a famine in China which kills a million people. A boil on one’s neck interests one more than forty earthquakes in Africa. Think of that the next time you start a conversation. - Dale Carnegie, How to Win Friends & Influence People

| Where there is no vision, the people perish. - Proverbs 29:18
|
| In terms of the flow of events in the outer world, we are not free agents, but in the inner world of our minds we feel free, and, therefore, in a very real sense, we are. - Morton Hunt, The Universe Within: A New Science Explores the Human Mind

| Most executives agree that no element of business life is more important than time. It’s the only thing there’s a limited amount of. - Mark H. McCormack, What They Still Don’t Teach You at Harvard Business School

| A true Master is not the one with the most students, but the one who creates the most Masters. A true leader is not the one with the most followers, but one who creates the most leaders. A true king is not the one with the most subjects, but one who leads the most to royalty. A true teacher is not the one with the most knowledge, but one who causes the most others to have knowledge. And a true God is not One with the most servants, but One who serves the most, thereby making Gods of all others. For this is both the goal and the glory of God: that his subjects shall be no more, and that all shall know God not as the unattainable but as the unavoidable. - Neal Donald Walsch, Conversations With God Book 1

| Enjoying things which are pleasant; that is not the evil: it the reducing of our moral self to slavery by them that is. - Thomas Carlyle
|
| Every man is rich or poor according to the degree in which he can afford to enjoy the necessaries, conveniences and amusements of human life. - Adam Smith, The Wealth of Nations
|
| He is rich who hath enough to be charitable. - Sir Thomas Browne

| According to Ayurveda, every human being is a weaving together of the environment, body, mind, and spirit. The environment has the shortest shelf life, for it is changing every moment. The body has a slightly longer shelf life. It takes about a year to replace almost all atoms and molecules that comprise it. The mind, which includes the intellect and ego, has a still longer shelf life. Your aspirations, beliefs, dreams, memories, and desires may last an entire lifetime. Your soul is eternal and not subject to the entropy and decay that govern the environment, body, and mind. Live your life from the level of the soul and you will be timeless. - Deepak Chopra, Grow Younger, Live Longer

| Be not penny-wise; riches have wings, and sometimes they fly away themselves; sometimes they must be set flying to bring in more. - Francis Bacon
