In order to
arrive at what you are not,
You must go
through the way in which you are not.

If you think you can, you can.
If you think you cannot, you cannot.
Either way, you are right.

the bird that feels the light when the dawn is still dark.

Now I looked
at his face. It was despising and full of anger.
"As long as
you live under my roof, you'll do what I say!" he shouted.
Then I'll
find another roof, I thought.
"You
understand me?" he said.
"Yes, sir, I
understand," I said, and I did, too. I understood that a new
rooftop would do wonders for me.
Lily from Sue Monk Kidd's
The Secret Life of Bees
The spontaneous gifts of heaven are of high value;
but the strength of perseverance gains the prize.
Chinese Proverb from

When you get into a tight place and everything goes
against you, until it seems that you cannot hold on a
moment longer, never give up then, for that is just
the place
and time that the tide will turn.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
"Come to the cliff, " He said.

And they flew.

Birdie: So, Dearie, what did you decide to do?
Kathleen: Close. We're going to close.
Birdie: Closing the store is the brave thing to
do.
Kathleen: You are such a liar.
Birdie: You are daring to imagine a different
life. Oh, I know it doesn't feel that way to you now. You
feel like a big fat failure. But you are not. You are marching
into the unknown, armed with...nothing.
Kathleen: Well....not nothing. People are
always telling me that change is a good thing but all that really means
is that something that you didn't want to happen has happened.
from You've Got Mail
The greater danger for most of us is not that our aim
is too high and we miss it,
but that it is too low and we reach it.
Michelangelo
You will not do incredible things without an
incredible dream.

Don't tell your problems to people: eighty-percent
don't care; and the
other twenty percent are glad you have them.

The creative work of artists is understood to be of
primary importance for the welfare of society because it renews both
perception and the perceiver, preventing the onset of spiritual atrophy.
Charles Simpson as quote by Stuart Plattner in,
High Art Down Home
Advertising which promises no benefit to the consumer
does not sell...
headlines that promise a benefit are read by an
average of four times more people than advertisements that don't.
...Try to find a promise which is not only
persuasive, but also unique.
Ogilvy on Advertising
