“Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men.”

Baron Acton

To be idle is a short road to death and to be dilligent is a way of life; foolish people are idle, wise people are dilligent.

- Buddha

Love the moment. Flowers grow out of dark moments. Therefore, each moment is vital. It affects the whole. Life is a succession of such moments and to live each, is to succeed.

- Corita Kent

I have made the tough decisions, always with an eye toward the bottom line. Perhaps it’s time America was run like a business.

I try to learn from the past, but I plan for the future by focusing exclusively on the present. That’s were the fun is.

I like thinking big. If you’re going to be thinking anything, you might as well think big.

I wasn’t satisfied just to earn a good living. I was looking to make a statement.

In the end, you’re measured not by how much you undertake but by what you finally accomplish.

Part of being a winner is knowing when enough is enough. Sometimes you have to give up the fight and walk away, and move on to something that’s more productive.

With out passion you dont have energy, with out energy you have nothing.

What separates the winners from the losers is how a person reacts to each new twist of fate.

- Donald Trump

How does it feel to be on your own, with no direction home, like a complete unknown, like a rolling stone?
Bob Dylan

Today’s students can put dope in their veins or hope in their brains. If they can conceive it and believe it, they can achieve it. They must know it is not their aptitude but their attitude that will determine their altitude.

- Jesse Jackson

When I was young, I observed that nine out of ten things I did were failures.  So I did ten times more work.  ~George Bernard Shaw

Hmm I’m quoting Charles Manson today, we can learn alot from any and everyone if we open our minds to their words without judging them for their actions.

I can’t dislike you, but I will say this to you: you haven’t got long before you are all going to kill yourselves, because you are all crazy. And you can project it back at me, but I am only what lives inside each and every one of you.

I can’t judge any of you. I have no malice against you and no ribbons for you. But I think that it is high time that you all start looking at yourselves, and judging the lie that you live in.

I never thought I was normal, never tried to be normal.

Just because you’re convicted in a court room doesn’t mean you’re guilty of something.

Living is what scares me. Dying is easy.

My father is the jailhouse. My father is your system… I am only what you made me. I am only a reflection of you.

The real strong have no need to prove it to the phonies.

You are going to use this courtroom to kill me? I am going to fight for my life one way or another. You should let me do it with words.

You know, a long time ago being crazy meant something. Nowadays everybody’s crazy.

You have to keep your sanity as well as know how to distance yourself from it while still holding onto the reins tightly. That is a very difficult thing to do, but I’m learning. - Diahann Carroll
