Frances HesselbeinI grew up in a very loving middle class family. My parents were educators. I'm not even the first PhD in my family. They tried to shield me, just as other parents in my neighborhood tried to shield their children. But you knew there was a reason that you couldn't go to that theme park or to a movie theater or to a hamburger stand. They couldn't shield you completely. What they did though was they never let it be an excuse for not achieving, and they always said racism is somebody else's problem, not yours. They tried in that way not to make us bitter about Birmingham.

With this vision, we have agreed to move forward without any preconditions, not making our relations contingent upon Turkey's recognition of the Armenian Genocide. However, if, as many suspect, it is proven that Turkey's goal is to protract, rather than to normalize relations, we will have to discontinue the process.

Mahatma GandhiHaving confidence in a free society is to focus on the process of discovery in the marketplace of values rather than to focus on some imposed vision or goal.

Marilyn vos SavantMath . . . music .. . starry nights . . . These are secular ways of achieving transcendence, of feeling lifted into a grand perspective.

Rebecca GoldsteinBeing happy is not all about love! Love is not everything. Work, friends, and achieving things... your finite thing in life can't be getting married and having children. Like, creating a life for myself that's my own, and my own road? That was always the most important thing for me. Right now, I have a kid and stuff, and it's fantastic to be a mother, but it's not the final thing. You want to stay an individual. You need to stay an individual for your kid, as an example of what a human being should be! You want to stay true to yourself and not become a half a person. That is so, so important.

Rod StrykerI find that goal setting, when done this way, leads to goal achieving. The chronic failure to achieve goals lowers self-esteem.

Imposed goals, vague goals, and unrealistic goals tend to produce only partial successes and outright failures.
Neal A. Maxwell
