The higher we soar, the smaller
we appear to those who cannot fly.
Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche |

So a military force has no
constant formation, water has no constant shape;
the ability to gain victory by
changing and adapting according
to the opponent is called genius.

Management is no substitute for
leadership, and we need new heroes.

Integrity includes but goes beyond
honesty. Honesty is telling the truth - in other words, conforming our words
to reality. Integrity is conforming reality to our words - in other words,
keeping promises and fulfilling expectations.

Courage is the price that life
extracts for granting peace. The soul that knows it not, knows no release
from little things. Knows not the livid loneliness of fear,
Nor mountain heights, where bitter joy can hear The sound of wings.

stretch forth thy wings and fly.

And forget not that the earth delights
to feel your bare feet and
the winds long to play with your hair.
Kahlil Gibran - submitted by Dawne Brown |

The intuitive mind is a sacred
gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society
that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift.
Albert Einstein - from Jamie Walters |

We must not, in trying to think
about how we can make a big difference,
ignore the small daily differences we can make which, over time,
add up to big differences that we often cannot foresee."
- Marian Wright Edelman - from Jamie Walters |

Do what's right for the customer.
There will be no other rules.
Nordstrom training manual - from Nancy Butler |

Trying to implant a goal that is
incongruent with the self-image is like trying to plant grain by dropping
seeds on rock hard bone-dry ground.
This happens when a person tries to make a goal that they are not.
No one can consistently out perform his or her self-image.
No one can long overcome it with willpower.
No one can sneak past it and perform in an incongruent manner.
The bottom line is that you cannot 'do' things without 'being'
the kind of person who does those things.
You must 'be' to 'do.'
Dr. Maxwell Maltz - from John Agro |
