Don't let others have input into your value system - my mom


Sometimes you have to shut your mouth and keep going because fools will continue talking - my grandmother


You better hint and hope. You can hint to a man to do something, then hope they do it. Otherwise he is set in his ways. - my stylist at home said this because another customer said she was trying to "change" her man. I fell out my seat laughing.


I get a lot of statement from my family because they have enjoyed, lived, and struggled through life.

A lack of planning on your part, does not constitute an emergency on mine.

Excuses, excuses
 
Excuses are the rules of the incompentent
They build mountains to nowhere
Those that delve in them seldomly amount to anything
Give no excuse...

There are variations... What's your variation?

My Dad also use to quote that to us- God rest his soul!


The Lord is my Shepherd I shalt not want!

That no man go beyond and defraud his brother in any matter;because that the Lord is the avenger of all such, as we also have forewarned you and testified.

Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us it's in everyone.

Nelson Mandela
Inaugural Speech, 1994

I have a bunch....
 
Act in haste, repent at leisure.

Never compromise yourself personally to become who you want to be professionally.

Never become upset by people or words. They are powerless. Your reaction is their only power!

The key to willpower is WANTpower. Those who want something badly enough will usually find the willpower to achieve it.

It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice.

Have no friends not equal to yourself.- Confucius

Never put off for tomorrow that which you can do today.

* Treat others like you'd want to be treated.

* Scratch a liar, find a thief.

* If you're an eagle, act as eagles do. Don't waste your time clucking around with the chickens. Spread your wings and fly!!!

* = New ones I added
