Art
is a lie that makes us realize truth. Pablo
Picasso (1881-1973) |

We gain strength, and courage,

There
is nothing so useless as doing efficiently that which should
not be done at all. Peter

Life
is no brief candle to me. It is a sort of splendid torch which
I have got a hold of for the moment, and I want to make it
burn as brightly as possible before handing it onto future
generations. This is the true joy in life, the being used
for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one; the
being thoroughly worn out before you are thrown on the scrap
heap; the being a force of nature instead of a feverish selfish
little clod of ailments and grievances complaining that the
world will not devote itself to making you happy. George
Bernard Shaw (1856-1950)

Once
I knew only darkness and stillness...my life was without past
or future...but a little word from the fingers of another
fell into my hand that clutched at emptiness, and my heart
leaped to the rapture of living. Helen
Keller, American author and educator who was blind and deaf
(1880-1968) |

Unless
you and your company become adept at business concept innovation,
more imaginative minds will capture tomorrow's wealth.
Gary Hamel, Corporate Strategy

All
truth passes through 3 stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second,
it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.
Arthur Schopenhauer, German philosopher
(1788-1860) |
|
Originality
is nothing but judicious imitation. The most original writers
borrowed from one another. The instruction we find in books
is like fire. We fetch it from our neighbours, kindle it at
home, communicate it to others, and it becomes the property
of all. Voltaire, French
writer and philosopher (1694-1778) |
|
Every
child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist
once we grow up. Pablo
Picasso (1881-1973)

Our
deepest fear is not that we are inadequate, Our deepest fear
is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not
our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who
am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually,
who are you NOT to be? You are a child of God. Your playing
small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlighteneng
about shrinking so that other people will not feel insecure
around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We
are born to make manifest, on earth, the glory of God that
is within us. It is not just in some of us. It is in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciosly give other
people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from
our own fear, our presence automatically liberates other.
Marianne Williamson (Quoted by
Nelson Mandela in his inauguration speech) |

The
marvelous richness of human experience would lose something
of rewarding joy if there were no limitations to overcome.
The hilltop hour would not be half so wonderful if there were
no dark valleys to traverse. Helen
Keller (1880-1968) |
|
I
may be as bad as the worst, but, thank God, I am as good as
the best. Walt Whitman
(1819-1892)

The
price of inaction is far greater than the cost of making a
mistake. Meister Eckhart,
Dominican theologian, writer and mystic (1260-1328) |
|
Failure
is simply the opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently.
Henry Ford (1863-1947) |
|
Art
washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life. Pablo
Picasso (1881-1973) |
|
The
first thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers. William
Shakespeare (1564-1616) |
|
We
can do no great things; only small things with great love.
Mother Teresa of Calcutta, 1979
Nobel Prize in Peace (1910-1997) |

Success
is dangerous. One begins to copy oneself, and to copy oneself
is more dangerous than to copy others. It leads to sterility.
Pablo Picasso (1881-1973)

Only
a man who knows what it is like to be defeated can reach down
to the bottom of his soul and come up with the extra ounce
of power it takes to win when the match is even. Muhammad
Ali (1942 -)
