As participants in this blog, this is your chance to contribute content to a future project. If you would like to help, please tell us your favorite quotes! There are lots of good quotes out there, but what I am looking for are the ones that move you, cause you to stop and think, or stay with you and have an impact on your behavior.

I know in my life, there are five or six that had that kind of power. Statements such as, "Ten years from now, what will you wish you had done today?" have changed my life. I look forward to reading the ones that have had similar impact on you!

And as always, thanks for contributing!

This poem has inspired me to continue to strive for the best and raise the bar on myself. Although it’s not a quote, I believe each point can stand on it’s own merit! Thanks for letting me share!
People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered;
Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind,
people may accuse you of selfish ulterior motives;
Be kind anyway.
If you are successful,
you will win some false friends and some true enemies;
Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and frank,
people may cheat you;
Be honest and frank anyway.
What you spend years building,
someone could destroy overnight.
Build anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness,
they may be jealous;
Be happy anyway.
The good you do today,
people will often forget tomorrow;
Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have,
and it may never be enough;
Give the best you’ve got anyway.
You see, in the final analysis
it is between you and God;
it was never between you and them anyway.
This poem is engraved on the wall of
Mother Teresa’s home for children in Calcutta

I have a list I keep on my computer of all the quotes I run across that really hit me. Some of these make me laugh, some make me think and some just plain make me. Hope you enjoy.
Hard work pays off in the future. Laziness pays off now.
Inside every older person is a younger person wondering what happened.
Light travels faster than sound. That is why some people appear bright
until you hear them speak.
“…but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him shall never thirst; but the water that I will give him will become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life.” John 4:14
All great things are simple, and many can be expressed in single words: freedom, justice, honor, duty, mercy, hope. Winston Churchill
Human beings, by changing the inner attitudes of their minds, can change the outer aspects of their lives. William James
Leadership and learning are indispensable to each other. John F Kennedy
I could go on and on, but I’ll leave room for others. Enjoy and God Bless.

This may not be the most positively uplifting quote, but it has strongly affected me because it’s all about having the spine to stand up for the right things at the right time.
“They came first for the Communists, And I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Communist;
Then they came for the Jews, And I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Jew.
Then they came for the trade unionists, And I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Catholics, And I didn’t speak up because I was a Protestant.
Then they came for me, And by that time there was no one left to speak up.”
(Holocaust Memorial, Boston MA – attributed to Martin Niemöller)
I know that this was mentioned by Orrin on an audio at some point, but I felt it was important enough to mention again.
Thank you for allowing me to share.

Unfortunately, I don’t know where most of the quotes originated from. I hope you can still use them!
“We were born for success, but we were programmed for failure.”
“If I allow my circumstances to dictate my character, it doesn’t matter who my company is.”
“Failure is directly linked to drama and drama causes people to feel important. Mediocre people delude themselves into accepting failure because self-importance creates the illusion of success where no success exists.”- Mike Mooney
“Pain is weakness leaving the body.”
“Your self-perception is directly linked to your self-direction.”
“Leaders focus on the prize, not the price, the horizon, not the terrain.”
“If you don’t know where you’re going, any place will do.”
“The price of greatness is not inexpensive, but it is worth it.”

Hi Chris,
Awesome blog! It is now become part of my daily routine. Thanks for making me laugh.
Here are my Top Ten. . . many of which I heard thru my involment with TEAM.
1. God honors committment.
2. Love everyone where they are at.
3. Nothing changes unless you change something.
4. People don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care.
5. Happiness is an attitude. We either make ourselves miserable, or happy and strong. The amount of work is the same.
6. One of the most tragic things I know about human nature is that all of us tend to put off living. We are all dreaming of some magical rose garden over the horizon instead of enjoing the roses that are blooming outside our windows today. (Dale Carnegie)
7. The time is always right to do what is right.
8. Lots of people want to ride with you in the limo, but what you want is someone who will take the bus with you when the limo breaks down. (Opra Winfrey)
9. No dream comes true until you wake up and go to work.
10. When the leadership is right and the time is right, the people can always be counted upon to follow—to the end and at all costs.
See you in St. Louis!
God Bless,
Jackie Frey

Here is one of my favorite Ronald Reagan quotes.
Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children’s children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.

I couldn’t find your e-mail address, but I wanted to share this with you. It’s a lecture that was given a couple of years ago at a TED Conference in California by Bill Strickland titled: Rebuilding America, one slide show at a time. It speaks of hope, and how when you have a dream, that is coupled with leadership amazing things can happen. In so many way’s I see parallels with Bill’s work and what I see Team doing to bring hope to people who have lost sense of their purpose, vision and value through leadership principals, story, and a chance to change.
Thank you for all you do.

this is a poem that I wrote while on the grindstone of life. I hope yopu will get out of it what I put into it.
The Steel and the Sword.
The steel and the sword,
kinsman at heart.
Once quite the same,
now worlds apart.
One is quite common,
the other quite rare.
The sword is held with regard,
the other without care.
Through the eyes of the steel,
what do you see.
A glance at the mirror,
that is looking back at me.
Forged in a mold, this way to stay,
stacked in a pile rusting away.
How does the steel to a sword give birth,
that part is easy when God determines the worth.
From days long ago He had laid out His plan,
from the dust of the earth to the form of a man.
To go through the fire, to face such strife,
to be hammered out on the anvil of life.
To be quenched in the blood,
cleansed from the sin,
only to be placed in the fire again.
After a while changes are seen,
but still to soon to know what they mean.
Time after time and over again,
the purging with fire, the cleansing of sin.
Now off to the wheel the purpose to grind,
being transformed, renewing the mind.
To see what’s ahead, not knowing what’s planned,
the only comfort is the touch of His hand.
Now the time has come to polish, to shine,
to hone the blade exceedingly fine,
To affix the handle, to the blade with such zeal,
looking back at what once was just steel.
The plans laid out from the beginning of time,
but only now beginning to shine.
The steel on its own or so I have heard,
without Gods touch would not become the sword.
Garrett Mees,

Chris,
Here are some of my favorite quotes:
“Don’t ask yourself what the world needs. Ask yourself what makes you come alive and go do that, because what the world needs is people who have come alive.” Gil Bailie
“You can borrow brains, but you can’t borrow character.” Dr. Bob Jones, Sr.
“A man is about as happy as he has a mind to be.” Abraham Lincoln
“Beware of a man who is rude to his inferiors or kowtows to his superiors.” Dr. Bob Jones, Sr.
“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” Mark Twain
“You miss 100% of the shots that you don’t take.” Wayne Gretzky
“I’ve missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shots and missed. I’ve failed over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.” Michael Jordan
“The secret is this: Strength lies solely in tenacity.” Louis Pasteur
“It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions and spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement; and who, at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory or defeat.” Theodore Roosevelt
“No one can make you unhappy without your permission.” Eleanor Roosevelt
“Anyone who you want to lead has three questions: Can I trust you? Do you care about me? and Are you committed to excellence?” Lou Holtz
Those are the ones that come to mind right now. I am sure there are many more. Maybe I will give them later.

These are the things I need to remind myself of regularly.
With courage you will dare to take risks, have the strength to be compassionate and the wisdom to be humble. Courage is the foundation of integrity.
– Chinese Proverb
don’t pray for an easier life, pray for the wisdom and greater capacity to expand your threshold.
you grow the most
when you’re on the border
of chaos and order.
Success is …
Success is speaking words of praise,
In cheering other people’s ways.
In doing just the best you can,
With every task and every plan.
It’s silence when your speech would hurt,
Politeness when your neighbor’s curt.
It’s deafness when the scandal flows,
And sympathy with others’ woes.
It’s loyalty when duty calls,
It’s courage when disaster falls.
It’s patience when the hours are long,
It’s found in laughter and in song.
It’s in the silent time of prayer,
In happiness and in despair.
In all of life and nothing less,
We find the thing we call success.
REMEMBER:
LIFE SHOULD NOT BE A JOURNEY TO THE GRAVE WITH THE INTENTION OF ARRIVING SAFELY IN AN ATTRACTIVE AND WELL PRESERVED BODY, BUT RATHER SKID IN SIDEWAYS, CHOCOLATE IN ONE HAND, RED WINE IN THE OTHER, BODY THOROUGHLY USED UP, TOTALLY WORN OUT AND SCREAMING ‘WOO-HOO … WHAT A RIDE!’
