The Last Word

If you think you can, you can. And if you think you can’t, you’re right. —Marykay Ash
We have deep depth. —Yogi Berra
They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety. —Benjamin Franklin
On the edge of destiny, you must test your strength. —Billy Bishop
If you sit down and don’t see a fish at the table, the fish is you. —Ken Flaton
Reason often makes mistakes, but conscience never does. —Josh Billings
Be smarter than other people, just don’t tell them so. —H. Jackson Brown, Jr.
I like a man who grins when he fights. —Winston Churchill
I cannot even imagine where I would be today were it not for that handful of friends who have given me a heart full of joy. Let’s face it, friends make life a lot more fun. —Charles R. Swindoll Destiny is not a matter of chance, it is a matter of choice; it is not a thing to be waited for, it is a thing to be achieved. —William Jennings Bryan
Leaders who win the respect of others are the ones who deliver more than they promise, not the ones who promise more than they can deliver. —Mark A. Clement
Nothing great will ever be achieved without great men, and men are great only if they are determined to be so. —Charles DeGaulle Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination are omnipotent. The slogan "press on" has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race. —Calvin Coolidge

Guard well your spare moments. They are like uncut diamonds. Discard them and their value will never be known. Improve them and they will become the brightest gems in a useful life. — Ralph Waldo Emerson
Freedom is not worth having if it does not connote freedom to err. It passes my comprehension how human beings, be they ever so experienced and able, can delight in depriving other human beings of that precious right. —Mohandas Gandhi
Crazy people who are productive are geniuses. Crazy people who are rich are eccentric. Crazy people who are neither productive nor rich are just plain crazy. Geniuses and crazy people are both out in the middle of a deep ocean; geniuses swim, crazy people drown. Most of us are sitting safely on the shore. Take a chance and get your feet wet. —Michael J.
