The first great gift we can bestow on others is a good example.
Thomas Morell "I used to think that the worst thing in life was to end up alone. It is not. The worst thing in life is to end up with people that make you feel alone." Robbin Williams As a solid rock is not shaken by a strong gale, so wise persons remain unaffected by praise or censure. Buddha True love is like ghosts, which everyone talks about and few have seen. Francois de La Rochefoucauld It takes more courage to examine the dark corners of your own soul than it does for a soldier to fight on a battlefield. - WB Yeats "The most important thing in communication is hearing what isn't said." - Peter Drucker "We must let go of the life we have planned, so as to accept the one that is waiting for us." - Joseph Campbell "The less people know, the more stubbornly they know it." - Osho Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. Calvin Coolidge |

Not at all, they are both very funny and they often get quoted here in Canada. And really many great quotes come from politicians, Thatcher, Churchill, Reagan, JFK, Roosevelt (both) Trudeau Sr. and those quotes are generally political in nature aren't they......

as a youth sports coach for most of the last 15 years..."will beats skill" was a go-to rally cry from me to my kids. unfortunately the tic-toc generation is seeing far too many examples of "easy" success...it's an uphill battle for us to instill the value of persistence and determination.

The only direction one can coast is downhill - me.
Hatred corrodes the container in which it is carried. - Alan Simpson at GHWB's funeral Humor is the universal solvent against the abrasive elements of life. - Also Alan Simpson at GHWB's funeral. I'm not certain what Simpson's sources were for the 2 quotes.
