TODAY'S QUOTES

The word "Philosophy" is derived from the Ancient Greek - philosophía (compounded from phílos: friend, or lover and sophía: wisdom). To quote from WikiPedia, "Philosophy is the discipline concerned with the questions of what is the right way to live (ethics), what sorts of things ultimately exist and what are their essential natures (metaphysics), what is to count as genuine knowledge (epistemology), and what are the correct principles of reasoning (logic).

QUOTE: Success, Emerson

"To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; to leave the world a little better; whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is the meaning of success."
-Ralph Waldo Emerson


WORDS/VOCABULARY

"Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless." -- Mother Teresa

"Vocabulary enables us to interpret and to express. If you have a limited vocabulary, you will also have a limited vision and a limited future." -- Jim Rohn

"Never talk defeat. Use words like hope, belief, faith, victory." -- Norman Vincent Peale

"Handle them carefully, for words have more power than atom bombs." -- Pearl Strachan
COMPASSION

The more deeply you understand other people, the more you will appreciate them, the more reverent you will feel about them. To touch the soul of another human being is to walk on holy ground.

Stephen R. Covey
Leadership consultant


Give us grace and strength to forbear and to persevere. Give us courage and gaiety and the quiet mind, spare to us our friends, soften to us our enemies.

Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894)
Writer
Happiness is like a cloud. It's beautiful, but if you stare at it too long it disappears.

-Sarah McLachlan
