thing." -- St. Thomas

there is no poverty and no indifferent place." -- Rainer

responsibility is the fulcrum point for succeeding at
anything." -- Jeffrey

"You
say, 'The country is messed up.' That's like cursing
the soil and the seed and the sunshine and the rain, which
is all you've got. Don't curse all you've got.
When you get your own planet, you can rearrange this whole
deal. This one you've got to take like it comes."
-- Jim Rohn
"The
people who get on in this world are the people who get
up and look for the circumstances they want, and, if they

"I
used to say, 'Things cost too much.' Then my teacher
straightened me out on that by saying, 'The problem isn't
that things cost too much. The problem is that you
can't afford it.' That's when I finally understood
that the problem wasn't 'it' - the problem was 'me.'"
-- Jim Rohn
"People
aren't afraid of failure, they just don't know how to

a win, you must take a proactive approach. Prevention
of failure is an important part of that process." -- Jeffrey
Gitomer
