for though we meet with something that gives us satisfaction,
yet it never thoroughly answers our expectation.

all is not lost; you can still call him vile names.

Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence.

the world is full of educated derelicts.
Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.
- Calvin Coolidge

Everyone is a genius at least once a year;
a real genius has his original ideas closer together.
- Georg Lichtenberg

Important ideas can come from unexpected places.
We tend to label people - Genius, Idiot,
Socialist, Regressive, Wingnut, Revolutionary, Terrorist.
But it is helpful to remind ourselves to be open
to good ideas - whatever their source.
It is equally important to avoid accepting any idea
merely because we respect that person's
other ideas or accomplishments.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

between the genius and his human qualities
that one has to ask oneself whether
a little less talent might not have been better.

If you are disabled, it is probably not your fault,
but it is no good blaming the world or expecting it to take pity on you.

If one is physically disabled,
one cannot afford to be psychologically disabled as well.
- Stephen Hawking

The marvelous richness of human experience
would lose something of rewarding joy
if there were no limitations to overcome.
The hilltop hour would not be half so wonderful
if there were no dark valleys to traverse.

We all go through life bristling
at our external limitations,
but the most difficult chains

At the Core of Our Suffering
are those Self-Imposed Limitations (Assumptions)
of which We are Completely Unaware.

The man with insight enough to admit his limitations
comes nearest to perfection.
- Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

I want to share with you the three rules
that I have in order to accept an apprentice.
Rule Number 1: Don't believe me.
I don't want you to believe me
but I want you to listen and make choices - your choices.
If what I say, doesn't work for you, leave it.
But if it works for you and that's what you want, then make it yours.
Rule Number 2: Don't believe yourself.
Why? Because most of your belief system is a lie - it's not true.
And by believing yourself, you create all the limitations
that don't allow you to be what you really are.
Don't believe yourself. Listen to what you say,
listen to what you think, listen to what you believe.
And when you listen, open your ears, open your mind,
open your intelligence and make choices.
Rule 3 is, don't believe anybody else.
Don't believe them at all.
Open your ears and your mind; listen and make choices.
- don Miguel Ruiz

If we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleasant.

Not to know yet to think that one knows
will lead to difficulty.

O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek
to be consoled as to console;
to be understood as to understand;
to be loved as to love.

it is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
- St. Francis of Assisi

Lord, grant that I might not so much
seek to be loved as to love.

we borrow it from our Children.
