Become Rich!

“No man can tell whether he is rich or poor by turning to his ledger. It is the heart that makes a man rich. He is rich according to what he is, not according to what he has.”

Henry Ward Beecher (1813-1887); clergyman, social reformer

Failure is not failing

"When you prohibit failure, you kill innovation."

--Dan Pallotta

Just Don't Give Up

“Hope begins in the dark, the stubborn hope that if you just show up and try to do the right thing, the dawn will come. You wait and watch and work: you don't give up.”

Anne Lamott - author, political activist

A Mature Person

“A mature person is one who does not think only in absolutes, who is able to be objective even when deeply stirred emotionally, who has learned that there is both good and bad in all people and in all things, and who walks humbly and deals charitably with the circumstances of life, knowing that in this world no one is all-knowing and therefore all of us need both love and charity.”
Eleanor Roosevelt (1884-1962); U.S. First Lady, diplomat, human rights activist

Character is Credit

“Character writes’ a letter of credit upon some men’s faces that is honored wherever presented. You cannot help trusting such men. Their very presence gives confidence. There is “promise to pay” in their faces which gives confidence and you prefer it to another man’s endorsement. Character is credit.”

–Thackeray
