Resources & Ideas Failure He who has never failed somewhere, that man cannot be great. Failure is the true test of greatness. -- F. D. Mattiesen Slump? I ain’t in no slump&ldots; I just ain’t hitting. -- Yogi Berra Faith I am looking for a lot of men who have an infinite capacity to not know what can’t be done." -- Henry Ford To love a person means to see him as God intended him to be. -- Dostoevsky If the doors of perception were cleansed everything would appear to man as it is, infinite. -- William Blake Source: Little Zen Companion, Schiller. Love means to love that which is unlovable, or it is no virtue at all; forgiving means to pardon that which is unpardonable, or it is no virtue at all. -- G. K. Chesterton The glances over cocktails that seemed to be so sweet, Do not seem quite so amorous over shredded wheat. -- Benny Fields Faith is not belief without proof but trust without reservation. -- Elton Trueblood The
glances over cocktails that seemed to be so sweet, Faith is to believe what we do not see, and the reward of this faith is to see what we believe. -- Augustine I had rather walk, as I do, in daily terror of eternity, than feel that this was only a children’s game in which all the contestants would get equally worthless prizes in the end. -- T. S. Eliot True faith goes into operation when there are not answers. -- Elisabeth Elliot Faith is to believe what we do not see, and the reward of this faith is to see what we believe. -- Augustine I had rather walk, as I do, in daily terror of eternity, than feel that this was only a children’s game in which all the contestants would get equally worthless prizes in the end. -- T. S. Eliot True faith goes into operation when there are not answers. -- Elisabeth Elliot The prisoner who had lost his faith in the future -- his future -- was doomed. With his loss of belief in the future, he also lost his spiritual hold; he let himself decline and become subject to mental and physical decay. -- Viktor Frankl, Man’s Search for Meaning (New York: Simon and Schuster, 1985), p. 85. Faith is the heroic effort of your life. You fling yourself in reckless confidence on God. God has ventured all in Jesus Christ to save us. Not He wants us to venture our all in abandoned confidence in Him... The real meaning of eternal life is a life that can face anything it has face without wavering... Again and again, you will get up to what Jesus Christ wants, and every time, you will turn back when it comes to that point, until you abandon resolutely... Jesus Christ demands that you risk everything you hold by common sense -- and leap into what He says... Christ demands of the man who trusts Him the same reckless spirit... that is daring enough to step out of the crowd and bank his faith on the character of God. -- Oswald Chambers A real Christian is an odd number. He feels supreme love for One whom he has never seen; talks familiarly every day to Someone he cannot see; expects to go to heaven on the virtue of Another; empties himself in order to be filled; admits he is wrong so he cannot be declared right; goes down in order to get up; is strongest when he is weakest; richest when he is poorest and happiest when he feels the worst. He dies so he can live; forsakes in order to have; gives away so he can keep; sees the invisible; hears the inaudible; and knows that which passes knowledge. -- A. W. Tozer "My becoming a Christian upset (Ted Turner) very much &ldots; for good reason. He's my husband and I chose not to discuss it with him, because he would have talked me out of it. He's a debating champion.” - Jane Fonda, reported by Ken Auletta in NEW YORKER magazine "I had absolutely no warning about it. (Jane) didn't tell me she was thinking about doing it. She just came home and said, 'I've become a Christian.' Before that, she was not a religious person. That's a pretty big change for your wife of many years to tell you. That's a shock... . Obviously, we weren't communicating very well at that time." - CNN founder Ted Turner in NEW YORKER magazine Those who believe that they believe in God, but without passion in their hearts, without anguish in mind, without uncertainty, without doubt, without an element of despair even in their consolation, believe only in the God idea, not in God Himself. -Miguel de Unamuno What do I know about God and the purpose of life? I know that this world exists. -- Ludwig Wittgenstein The meaning of life, i.e. the meaning of the world, we can call God. -- Ludwig Wittgenstein To pray is to think about the meaning of life. -- Ludwig Wittgenstein To believe in God means to see that the facts of the world are not the end of the matter. To believe in God means to see that life has a meaning. -- Ludwig Wittgenstein Certainly it is correct to say: Conscience is the voice of God. -- Ludwig Wittgenstein. "Faith is a verb." -James Fowler "Faith is relational: to think of self, others, and God, to be committed to something or someone; one's heart, love, and hope is invested." -James Fowler "Our ultimate task is to be free, knowing, responsible, and loving, to walk in courage, hope, and trust." -Rahner "Our strange dynamic towards becoming our truest selves, or becoming divine." -William Cantwell Smith "To have fath is to be human in highest, truest sense." -William Cantwell Smith Fame "Big egos are big shields for lots of empty space." — Diana Black "Pride gets no pleasure out of having something, only out of having more of it than the next man." — C.S. Lewis, 20th-century British novelist and scholar "Half of the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. . . They do not mean to do harm. . . . They are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves." — T.S. Eliot, Nobel Prize-winning 20th-century Anglo-American poet "When dealing with people, remember you are not dealing with creatures of logic, but with creatures bristling with prejudice and motivated by pride and vanity." — Dale Carnegie, 20th-century American motivational writer "Nothing is so commonplace as to wish to be remarkable." — Unknown “If you let your head get too big, it'll break your neck.”' — Elvis Presley, 20th-century American celebrity singer "A free society is one where it is safe to be unpopular." — Adlai Stevenson II, 20th-century American politician, presidential candidate "When you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to reform." — Mark Twain, 19th-century American humorist, author and journalist “I value solid popularity — the esteem of good men for good action. I despise the bubble popularity that is won without merit and lost without crime.” — Thomas Hart Benton, 18th/19th-century American writer and U.S. senator from Missouri “He that falls in love with himself will have no rivals.” — Benjamin Franklin, 18th century American Founding Father, inventor and statesman “When I hear a man applauded by the mob I always feel a pang of pity for him. All he has to do to be hissed is to live long enough.” — H. L. Mencken, 20th-century American journalist and humorist "Vanity plays lurid tricks with our memory." — Joseph Conrad, 19th/20th-century Nobel Prize-winning Polish-English author “No man is a hero to his valet.” — Mme. Cornuel, 17th-century Parisian hostess Family A healthy family is sacred territory. --Unknown He is happiest, be he king or peasant, who finds his peace in his home. -- Goethe When you look at your life, the greatest happinesses are the family happinesses. -- Dr. Joyce Brothers The children despise their parents until the age of forty, when they suddenly become just like them -- thus preserving the system. -- Quentin Crewe Healthy families remind each other of their goodness; unhealthy families remind each other of their failings. -- Matthew Fox I never envied Elvis his mansion and all that. Al those boys -- Elvis, Jerry Lee Lewis, Roy Orbison -- they all lost their wives, their families. People say, "What happened to you, Carl? All of them went on to superstardom. Where’d you go?" I say, "I went home." And that’s a good place to be. -- Carl Perkins, Rockabilly singer (quote in Insight, Dec. 9, 1996, p. 33) No matter how much the cats fight, there always seem to be plenty of kittens. --Abraham Lincoln Fantasy To be matter of fact about the world is to blunder into fantasy -- and dull fantasy at that, as the real world is strange and wonderful. --Robert A. Heinlein Fathers By profession I am a soldier and take great pride in that fact, but I am prouder, infinitely prouder, to be a father. A soldier destroys in order to build; the father only builds, never destroys. The one has the potentialities of death; the other embodies creation and life. And while the hordes of death are mighty, the battalions of life are mightier still." -- Douglas MacArthur, "Reminiscences" The most important thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother. -- Theodore M. Hesburgh A son
is a son ‘til he takes a wife, Look up "father" in the dictionary. It comes right after "fathead" and just before "fatigue." Fatigue Fears Fear is the mind-killer and unacknowledged fear is the worst kind. -- Lawrence Block Do the thing you fear and the death of fear is certain. -- Emerson Fear always springs from ignorance. -- Emerson Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear -- not absence of fear. -- Mark Twain Carl Reiner:"What was the main mode of transportation 2000 years ago?"

Wall Street is the only place he people ride to in a Rolls Royce to get advice from those who take the subway. -- Financier Warren Buffett Finding God There are three kinds of people: those who have sought God and found him, and these are reasonable and happy; those who seek God and have not yet found him, and these are reasonable and unhappy; and those who neither seek God nor find him, and these are unreasonable and unhappy. -- Blaise Pascal Fishing There is a fine line between fishing and just standing on the shore like an idiot. -- Stephen Wright Fitness "How long does getting thin take?" Pooh asked anxiously. --A. A. Milne Flow The master in the art of living makes little distinction between his work and his play, his labor and his leisure, his mind and his body, his information and his recreation, his love and his religion. He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence at whatever he does, leaving others to decide whether he is working or playing. To him he’s always doing both. -- James Michener Focus Professor C. Northcote Parkinson has pointed out in one of his delightful satires that the quickest way to get rid of an inconvenient superior is to make a world traveler out of him. The jet plane is indeed overrated as a management tool. A great many trips have to be made; but a junior can make most of them. -- Peter Drucker, The Effective Executive Build on your strengths and your weaknesses will be irrelevant. -- Peter F. Drucker I am to bless the world through what I am. -- William Makepeace Thackeray The ultimate of being successful is the luxury of giving yourself the time to do what you want to do. -- Leontyne Price What an immense power over life is the poser of posing distinct aims. The voice, the dress, the look, the very motions of a person, define and alter when he or she begins to live for a reason. -- Elizabeth Stuart Phelps Here is where I should be." -- Isak Dinesen, Out of Africa Nothing contributes to much to tranquilize the mind as a steady purpose -- a point on which the soul may fix its intellectual eye. -- Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley Anyone can do any amount of work, provided it isn’t the work he or she is supposed to be doing at that time. -- Robert Benchley He is most fatigued who knows not what to do. -- N. Boileau There are just two questions to ask to attain success in business: First, "What business am I in?" Second, "How’s business?" -- Peter Drucker If there is a sin against life, it consists perhaps not so much in despairing of life as in hoping for another life and in eluding the implacable grandeur of this life. -- Albert Camus Either you let your life slip away by not doing the things you want to do, or you get up and do them. -- Carl Ally Men give me some credit for genius. All the genius I have lies in this: When I have a subject at hand I study it profoundly. Day and night it is before me. I explore it in all its bearings. My mind becomes pervaded with it. Then the effort which I have made is what people are pleased to call the fruit of genius. It is instead the fruit of labor and thought. -- Alexander Hamilton Take your passion and make it happen. -- Song lyric from the movie Flashdance The crime which bankrupts men and nations is that of turning aside from one’s main purpose to serve a job here and there. -- Emmerson I don’t know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everybody. -- Bill Cosby What do I really want? This is one of the most important questions you will ever ask yourself. Spell out your desires. -- Alfred A. Montapert Your work is to discover your work, and then, with all your heart, to give yourself to it. -- Buddha We do not grow by knowing all of the answers, but rather by living with the questions. -- Max DePree A whale is as unique as a cactus. But don’t ask a whale to survive Death Valley. We all have special gifts. Where we use them and how determines whether we actually complete something. -- Max DePree (Leadership is an Art, p. 145) First and foremost, find out what it is you’re about, and be that. Be what you are and don’t lost it... It’s very hard to be who we are, because it doesn’t seem to be what anyone wants. -- Norman Lear Upon close examination it usually turns out that the vision did not originate with the leader personally, but rather from others. -- Bennis and Nanus There is no man living who cannot do more than he thinks he can. -- Henry Ford Great minds have purposes; others have wishes. -- Washington Irving To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best to make you everybody else -- means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight and never stop fighting. -- e. e. cummings Trust yourself. Create the kind of self that you will be happy to live with all your life. Make the most of yourself by fanning the tiny, inner sparks of possibility into the flames of achievement. -- Foster C. Mc Cellan Build on your strengths and your weaknesses will be irrelevant. -- Peter F. Drucker Fear not that life shall come to an end, but rather that it shall never have a beginning. -- John Henry Cardinal Newman Being a minister is just reminding people over and over, and then reminding them again, of what is most important in life. -- Norman Vincent Peale The butterfly counts not months but moments, and has time enough. -- Rabindranath Tagore A whale is as unique as a cactus. But don’t ask a whale to survive Death Valley. We all have special gifts. Where we use them and how determines whether we actually complete something. -- Max DePree (Leadership is an Art, p. 145) Every man has his own destiny; the only imperative is to follow it, to accept it, no matter where it leads him. -- Henry Miller There’s
something happening here. I always wanted to be somebody, but I should have been more specific. -- Lily Tomlin There is no inherent problem in our desire to escalate our goals, as long as we enjoy the struggle along the way. -- Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience If there is a sin against life, it consists perhaps not so much in despairing of life as in hoping for another life and in eluding the implacable grandeur of this life. -- Albert Camus To
be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best to make
you everybody else -- means to fight the hardest battle which any

all full of weakness and errors; let us mutually pardon each other

The opposite is true. Through forgiveness, the wrong is released from its emotional stranglehold on us so that we can learn from it. Through the power and intelligence of the heart, the release of forgiveness brings expanded intelligence to work with the situation more effectively. -- David McArthur & Bruce McArthur A Christian will find it cheaper to pardon than to resent. Forgiveness saves the expense of anger, the cost of hatred, and the waste of spirit. --Hannah More Forgiveness means that you've decided not to let it keep festering inside even if it only comes up once in awhile. --Doc Childre and Howard Martin Sincere forgiveness isn't colored with expectations that the other person apologize or change. Don't worry whether or not they finally understand you. Love them and release them. Life feeds back truth to people in its own way and time—just like it does for you and me. --Sara Paddison Forgiveness is giving up the possibility of a better past. --Unknown I can forgive, but I cannot forget, is only another way of saying, I will not forgive.

are often forgiven, but contempt never is. Our pride remembers it
forever.

When family is the only metaphor we use, people with whom we cannot achieve intimacy, or with whom we do not want to be intimate, are squeezed out. Since intimacy often depends on social and economic similarities, church then becomes a place of retreat rather than true hospitality. Such a church does everything in his power to eliminate the strange and cultivate the familiar. Such a church can neither welcome the stranger nor allow the stranger in each of us to emerge. -- Molly Marshall (quoted from The Other Side, Nov.-Dec., 1996, p. 57) Freedom Experience should teach us to be most on our guard to protect liberty when the Government's purposes are beneficent.

United States, 277 US 479 (1928) He that would make his own liberty secure must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself. --Thomas Paine They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety. --Benjamin Franklin The First Amendment is often inconvenient. But that is besides the point. Inconvenience does not absolve the government of its obligation to tolerate speech. --Justice Anthony Kennedy, in 91-155 If you cannot be free, be as free as you can be. -- Emerson Men are not prisoners of fate, but only prisoners of their own minds. – Franklin D. Roosevelt I disapprove of what you say, but will defend to the death your right to say it. --Voltaire A free society is a place where it's safe to be unpopular. --Adlai Stevenson Frustrations I used to work in a fire hydrant factory. You couldn’t park anywhere near the place. -- Steven Wright Whenever man comes up with a better mousetrap, nature immediately comes up with a better mouse. -- James Carswell Source: Harper Book of Quotations, Harper 1993 Fulfillment A champion runner doesn’t even know he’s in a race. He runs because he love it. -- Unknown Fun All I wanna do is have some fun, I’ve got a feeling I’m not the only one. -- Sheryl Crow, 1994 If you are too busy to laugh, you are too busy. -- saying I wake up every morning determined both to change the world and have one hell of a good time. Sometimes this makes planning the day a little difficult. -- E. B. White All happy families are alike. All unhappy families are peculiar in their own ways. -- Anna Karenina (first line of this novel) Future Future shock is the dizzying orientation brought on by the premature arrival of the future. -- Alvin Toffler The future is called "perhaps." -- Tennessee Williams The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams. -- Eleanor Roosevelt The future ain’t what it used to be. -- Arthur C.
