Power Thoughts

If a man has a talent and cannot use it, he has failed. If he has a talent and uses only half of it, he has partly failed. If he has a talent and learns how to use the whole of it, he has gloriously succeeded, and won a satisfaction and a triumph few men ever know.
Thomas Wolfe

Opportunities do not come with their values stamped upon them. To face every opportunties of life thoughtfully, and ask its meaning bravely and earnestly, is the only way to meet supreme opportunties when they come, whether open-faced or disguised.
Maltbie D. Babcock

There's no free lunch. Don't feel entilled to anything you don't sweat and struggle for.
Marian Wright Edelman

People may doubt what you say, but they will always believe what you do.
Nannie Helen Burroughs

We can't all be great, but we can attach ourselves to great causes.
Camille Cosby

Life is essentially a series of events to be lived through rather than intellectual riddles to be played with and solved.
George A. Buttrick

Procrastination usually results in sorrowful regret. Today's duties put off until tomorrow give us a double burden to bear; the best way is to do them in their proper time.
Ida Scott Taylor
