sense is in spite of, not the result of, education. |

| Do
not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe
in anything simply because it is spoken and rumoured by many. Do not believe
in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books.
Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and
elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down
for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find
that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit
of one and all, then accept it and live up to it. |

| If
you’re not learning while you’re earning, you’re cheating yourself out of
the better portion of your compensation. |

| Every
child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows
up. |

Bernard Shaw |
| When
nothing seems to help, I go look at a stonecutter hammering away at a rock
perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing in it. Yet at
the hundredth blow it will split in two, and I know it was not that blow
that did it but all that had gone before. The people who get on in this
world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want,
and, if they can’t find them, make them. |

have to do your own growing no matter how tall your grandfather was. |

| If
my mind can conceive it, and my heart can believe it, I know I can achieve
it. |
