What you think you become. ~ Buddha When the fate of the nation is at risk, trust no one. -Henry Kenealy I must not fear. Fear is the mind killer. Fear is the little death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me.And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.

Only I will remain. -Frank Herbert Influence: What you think you have until you try to use it. -Joan Welsh All emotions are pure which gather you and lift you up; that emotion is impure which seizes only one side of your being and so distorts you. -Rainer Maria Rilke It is the individual only who is timeless. Societies, cultures, and civilizations --past and present --are often incomprehensible to outsiders, but the individual's hungers, anxieties, dreams, and preoccupations have remained unchanged through the millennia. -Eric Hoffer No man can fight his way to the top and stay at the top without exercising the fullest measure of grit, courage, determination, resolution. Every man who gets anywhere does so because he has first firmly resolved to progress in the world and then has enough stick-to-it-tiveness to transform his resolution into reality. Without resolution, no man can win any worthwhile place among his fellow men. -B. C. Forbes Nobody can give you freedom. Nobody can give you equality or justice or anything.

When a weasel sucks eggs the meat is sucked out of the egg.
