Today I'm feeling particularly "zen". Despite an intense week (sickness, work, writing, kids, and life), I survived! Here are a few quotes that helped get me through the week:
We are made wise not by the recollection of our past, but by the responsibility for our future. -- George Bernard Shaw
It's the little details that are vital. Little things make big things happen. -- John Wooden
If you're trying to achieve, there will be roadblocks. I've had them; everybody has had them. But obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it. -- Michael Jordan
Knowledge comes, but wisdom lingers. It may not be difficult to store up in the mind a vast quantity of facts within a comparatively short time, but the ability to form judgments requires the severe discipline of hard work and the tempering heat of experience and maturity. -- Calvin Coolidge
Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishment. -- Jim Rohn
Step with care and great tact, and remember that Life's a Great Balancing Act. -- Dr. Seuss
One's philosophy is not best expressed in words; it is expressed in the choices one makes... and the choices we make are ultimately our responsibility. -- Eleanor Roosevelt
Be as you wish to seem. -- Socrates
We should not judge people by their peak of excellence; but by the distance they have traveled from the point where they started. -- Henry Ward Beecher
Use what talents you possess; the woods would be very silent if no birds sang there except those that sang best. -- Henry Van Dyke
Knowledge is of no value unless you put it into practice. -- Anton Chekhov
