Others' Insights

Some useful quotes I keep around...

"At every instant, one is either growing into something more, or shrinking into something less." [don't remember source]

"Your work is to discover your work, and then with all your heart, to give yourself to it." - Buddha

"Living in truth means living in confrontation." - Star Jones

"The problems that exist in the world today cannot be solved by the level of thinking that created them." -Einstein

"A problem well-stated is a problem half-solved." - Kettering

And a favorite poem, always refreshing:

This Is Just To Say

I have eaten
the plums
that were in
the icebox

and which
you were probably
saving
for breakfast

forgive me
they were delicious
so sweet
and so cold

- William Carlos Williams
