Self-Respect

"The individual woman is required... a thousand times a day to choose either to accept her appointed role and thereby rescue her good disposition out of the wreckage of her self-respect, or else follow an independent line of behavior and rescue her self-respect out of the wreckage of her good disposition." -- Jeannette Rankin

Listeners

"Effective listeners remember that "words have no meaning - people have meaning." The assignment of meaning to a term is an internal process; meaning comes from inside us. And although our experiences, knowledge and attitudes differ, we often misinterpret each other's messages while under the illusion that a common understanding has been achieved." -- Larry Barker

Bad Opinions

"You have to be willing sometimes to listen to some remarkable bad opinions. Because if you say to someone, 'That's the silliest thing I've ever heard; get on out of here!'-then you'll never get anything out of that person again, and you might as well have a puppet on a string or a robot." -- John Bryan

Mistakes

"A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing." -- George Bernard Shaw

Progressing...

"There is nothing like returning to a place that remains unchanged
to find the ways in which you yourself have altered." -- Nelson Mandela

Life Lesson

"Try to do unto others as you would have them do to you, and do not be discouraged if they fail sometimes. It is much better that they should fail than you should." -- Charles Dickens

Experience

"We should be careful to get out of an experience only the wisdom that is in it - and stop there; lest we be like the cat that sits down on a hot stove-lid. She will never sit down on a hot stove-lid again - and that is well; but also she will never sit down on a cold one anymore." -- Mark Twain

"The best teacher is experience learned from failures." -- Byron Pulsifer

"Experience can only be gained by doing not by thinking or dreaming." -- Byron Pulsifer

Ignorance!

"Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity." - Martin Luther King Jr

Fool

"If you once forfeit the confidence of your fellow citizens, you can never regain their respect and esteem. It is true that you may fool all of the people some of the time; you can even fool some of the people all of the time; but you can't fool all of the people all of the time." -- Abraham Lincoln

Lies

"The naked truth is always better than the best dressed lie"

"Lying is done with words and also with silence.”
