‘The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public
debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and
controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest
Rome become bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on
public assistance.’

Cicero – 55 BC

Evidently nothing.

(don’t know for sure Cicero said this…. but its great!)

Free people, remember this maxim: We may acquire liberty, but it is never recovered if it is once lost.

Rousseau (1712 – 1778)

Wisdom is not a product of schooling, but of the life- long attempt to acquire it.

Albert Einstein (1879 – 1955)

“Don’t waste life in doubts and fears; spend yourself on the work before you, well assured that the right performance of this hour’s duties will be the best preparation for the hours and ages that will follow it.”
-Ralph Waldo Emerson

I should love to satisfy all, if I possibly can;
but in trying to satisfy all, I may be able to satisfy none.
I have, therefore, arrived at the conclusion that the best course is to
satisfy one’s own conscience and leave the world to form its own
judgment, favorable or otherwise.
–Mohandas K. Gandhi

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, and Fabulous?”

Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.
Your playing small doesn’t serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking
so that other people won’t feel insecure around you.
We are born to make manifest the Glory of God that is within us

It�s not just in some of us, it’s in everyone,
and as we let our own light shine,
we consciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

-Nelson Mandela
