Excellence can be expected if you...

          Care more than others think is wise
          Risk more than others think is safe

          Dream more than others think is practical
          Expect more than others think is possible

Some favorite quotes--


What is a good man but a bad man's teacher?
What is a bad man but a good man's job?

Lao Tzu


This is the true joy in life, being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one...

 George Bernard Shaw


Things that matter most must never be at the mercy
of things which matter least.

Goethe


To see a world in a grain of sand
And heaven in a wild flower,
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand,
And eternity in an hour.

William Blake


You must be the change
you seek in the world.

Gandhi

The Master stays behind;
That is why she is ahead.

Lao-tzu


The Master doesn’t talk, he acts.
When his work is done,
the people say,
“We did it ourselves.”

Lao-tzu


Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed individuals can change the world. Indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has. 

Margaret Mead


My life is my message.

Gandhi


Whatever joy there is in this world
All comes from desiring others to be happy,
And whatever suffering there is in this world
All comes from desiring myself to be happy. 

Shantideva

 


A human being is part of a whole.... He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something separated from the rest
a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness.  

Albert Einstein


I have no authority over my countrymen save the purely moral.

Gandhi


The Master doesn’t try to be powerful; 
thus he is truly powerful.

Lao-tzu


I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of this creed—"We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal…" 

Martin Luther King, Jr.


He who knows, does not speak.
He who speaks, does not know.

Lao-tzu
