Somebody said you have to love what you do, but that's not necessarily true. What is true is that you have to love the opportunity. The opportunity to build life, future, health, success and fortune.

Jim RohnSchools, the institutions traditionally called upon to correct social inequality, are unsuited to the task; without economic opportunity to follow educational opportunity, the myth of equality can never become real. Far more than a hollow promise of future opportunity for their children, parents need jobs, income, and services. And children whose backgrounds have stunted their sense of the future need to be taught by example that they are good for more than they dared dream.

Our work is to go about doing good as did He.

I still have so much to learn, but as I progress I hope to bring more of my individual knowledge, experience and awareness to this role.

Every single thing that has ever happened in your life is preparing you for the moment that is to come.

Swami SatchidanandaSF is an opportunity to have an intense relationship with your own imagination. It's a kind of drive-by poetry, trashy and addictive; it's fun.

Elaine CassidyThe right way is the greatest gratifier of human wishes ever come upon - when allowed to operate. It is as morally sound as the Golden Rule. It is the way of willing exchange, of common consent, of self-responsibility, of open opportunity. It respects the right of each to the product of his labor. It limits the police force to keeping the peace. It is the way of the free market, private property, limited government. On its banner is emblazoned Individual Liberty.

If you do this, your spiritual sensitivities will be enlarged and you will discover opportunities to serve that you never before realized were possible.
M. Russell BallardWe forget the conditions - not only in slavery - but after slavery, when there was this purposeful locking out of African Americans from economic opportunity.
