“Sometimes you got to hurt something to help something. Sometimes you have to plow under one thing in order for something else to grow.”
Ernest Gaines
“To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even to an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket- safe, dark, motionless, airless--it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable.”
C.S. Lewis
“Being the leader doesn't give you the permission to be a bully. Respect and inspiration work better than fear and chaos.”
Dan Waldschmidt
“It's what you do when you're 'not feeling like it' that ultimately determines if you achieve your goals or not. Anybody can what's easy.”
“Celebrate kindness. Communicate intention. Concentrate effort.”
“Just about every strategy looks like it's not working before it actually starts paying off. What you see right now isn't a good reason to quit.”
“A quitter always seems to have a good excuse why 'giving up' was the smart choice. But you'll never hear a superstar telling you that they wish they had given up earlier.”
