  • Insightful Quote #1

    *And to keep her immune system strong she followed Dr. Goodhue's advice to abstain from alcohol, get plenty of fresh air and exercise, and consume a nourishing diet, low in salt. Page 144

    Fear is good. In the right degree it prevents us from making fools of ourselves. But in the wrong measure it prevents us from fully living. Fear is our boon companion but never our master.. Page 204

    I've come to believe that how we choose to live with pain, or injustice, or death ... Is the true measure of the Divine within us. . . . I used to wonder, why did God give children leprosy? Now I believe: God doesn't give anyone leprosy. He gives us, if we choose to use it, the spirit to live with leprosy, and with the imminence of death. Because it is in our own mortality that we are most Divine.. Page 307

    **With wonder and a growing absence of fear she realized, I am more than I was an hour ago.. Page 372
    **my favorite!

    Alan Brennert, Moloka'i

    - Paddle Your Own Canoe

    Voyager upon life's sea,
    To yourself be true,
    And whatever your lot may be,
    Paddle your own canoe.
    Never, though the winds may rave,
    Falter or look back;
    But upon the darkest wave
    Leave a shining track.
    Paddle your own canoe.

    Nobly dare the wildest storm,
    Stem the hardest gale,
    Brave of heart and strong of arm
    You will never fail.
    When the world is cold and dark,
    Keep your aim in view;
    And toward the beacon work,
    Paddle your own canoe. ...

    ..Would you crush the giant wrong,
    In the world's free fight?
    With a spirit brave and strong,
    Battle for the right.
    And to break the chains that bind
    The many to the few
    To enfranchise slavish mind,-
    Paddle your own canoe.

    Nothing great is lightly won,
    Nothing won is lost,
    Every good deed, nobly done,
    Will repay the cost.
    Leave to Heaven, in humble trust,
    All you will to do:
    But if succeed, you must
    Paddle your own canoe.

    Sarah Bolton

    ?The stars are like the trees. Each one reminds us that we should still the greed in our heart. Each tree, each star, teaches us the ways of peace.

    Alfred A. Yuson

  • Insightful Quote #4

    A bit of theory as we settle down for lunch: the waiter's treatment of Kitty is actually a kind of sandwich, with the bottom bread being the bored and slightly effete way he normally acts with customers, the middle being the crazed and abnormal way he feels around this famous nineteen-year-old girl, and the top bread being his attempt to contain and conceal this alien middle layer with some mode of behavior that at least approximates the bottom layer of boredom and effeteness that is his norm.

    Jennifer Egan

  • Insightful Quote #5

    A career is just a longer trip with a whole lot more baggage.

    Jay Samit

  • Insightful Quote #6

    A certain man once lost a diamond cuff-link in the wide blue sea, and twenty years later, on the exact day, a Friday apparently, he was eating a large fish - but there was no diamond inside. That’s what I like about coincidence.

    Vladimir Nabokov

  • Insightful Quote #7

    A diamond is just a rock. A really expensive rock.

  • Insightful Quote #12

    A good man can be destroyed by the association with men of evil character. A wise man can learn from them

    Bangambiki Habyarimana

  • Insightful Quote #13

    A loner by nature and an introvert... i am a twinkling star, burning bright amidst a cloudless night. As such, i tend to fade in and out of people's lives. This aspect of me is often misunderstood as rejection or a lack of love and caring. In reality, the only way i can survive as an introvert, is to drop from the sky, from time-to-time, recharging within the energizing landscape of my inner-universe. To love me, is to let me me have the space i need to illuminate the sky. I can't be taken hostage or held captive. Inner-light is what gives my star its twinkle.

    Jaeda DeWalt

  • Insightful Quote #14

    A man might desire something for a moment, while a larger part of him rejects it. You'll need to learn to judge people by their actions, not their thoughts.

    Helene Wecker

  • Insightful Quote #15

    A mere redrawing of borders, a change in governments, those things can never faze a Jewess with a good supply of hand wipes in her bag.

    Michael Chabon

  • Insightful Quote #16

    A negative mind will never find success. I have never heard a positive idea come from a person in a negative state.

    Jay Samit

  • Insightful Quote #17

    A priest is a functionary of a social sort. The society worships certain deities in a certain way, and the priest becomes ordained as a functionary to carry out that ritual. The deity to whom he is devoted is a deity that was there before he came along. But the shaman's powers are symbolized in his own familiars, deities of his own personal experience. His authority comes out of a psychological experience, not a social ordination.

    Joseph Campbell

  • Insightful Quote #18

    Accepting that the odds are against you is the same as accepting defeat before you begin.

    Jay Samit

  • Insightful Quote #19

    Actual message in letter I mailed: Congrats on getting married! Here’s a hundred-dollar gift certificate to Amazon.com. You could buy something practical, or you could buy 101 copies of my .99 cents ebook. Just kidding—I didn’t mean to imply that buying 101 copies of my book was impractical.

  • Insightful Quote #20

    Adversity is only yet another means to remind us of 'How Truly Awsome We All Are'!

    W.O. Wainwright

  • Insightful Quote #21

    All businesses -- no matter if they make dog food or software -- don't sell products, they sell solutions.

  • Insightful Quote #22

    All Disruption starts with introspection.

    Jay Samit

  • Insightful Quote #23

    Along with the concept of American Dream runs the notion that every man and woman is entitled to an opinion and to one vote, no matter how ridiculous that opinion might be or how uninformed the vote. It could be that the Borderer Presbyterian tradition of stand up and say your rightful piece contributed to the American notion that our gut-level but uninformed opinions are some sort of unvarnished foundational political truths. I have been told that this is because we redneck working-class Scots Irish suffer from what psychiatrists call no insight.Consequently, we will never agree with anyone outside our zone of ignorance because our belligerent Borderer pride insists on the right to be dangerously wrong about everything while telling those who are more educated to bite my ass!

    An average idea enthusiastically embraced will go farther than a genius idea no one gets.

    Jay Samit

  • Insightful Quote #26

    An empty man is full of himself.

    Edward Abbey

  • Insightful Quote #27

    And so, when she heard if Hare Krishnas, she didn't hear right. She heard Hairless Christians, and that is what they were to her for many years. When I corrected her, I told her in fact she was not so wrong; that Hindus, in their capacity for love, are indeed hairless Christians, just as Muslims, in the way they see God in everything, are bearded Hindus, and Christians in their devotion to God, are hat-wearing Muslims.

    Yann Martel

  • Insightful Quote #28

    Antipater, in a letter written upon the death of Aristotle, the philosopher, observes, Amongst his other gifts he had that of persuasiveness; and the absence of this in the character of Marcius made all his great actions and noble qualities unacceptable to those whom they benifited: pride, and self-will, the consort, as Plato calls it, of solitude, made him insufferable. With the skill which Alcibiades, on the contrary, possessed to treat every one in the way most agreeable to him, we cannot wonder that all his successes were attended with the most exuberant favour and honour; his very errors, at time, being accompanied by something of grace and felicity. And so in spite of great and frequent hurt that he had done the city, he was repeatedly appointed to office and command; while Coriolanus stood in vain for a place which his great services had made his due. The one, in spite of the harm he occasioned, could not make himself hated, nor the other, with all the admiration he attracted, succeed in being beloved by his countrymen.

    Plutarch

  • Insightful Quote #29

    As an improviser, I always find it jarring when I meet someone in real life whose first answer is no. “No, we can’t do that.” “No, that’s not in the budget.” “No, I will not hold your hand for a dollar.” What kind of way is that to live?

    Tina Fey

  • Insightful Quote #30

    As he drove away, I began to think that what kept us together was perhaps not even our romance with an imaginary France. That was just a veneer, an illusion. Rather, it was our desperate inability to lead ordinary lives with ordinary people anywhere--ordinary loves, ordinary homes, ordinary careers, watching ordinary television, eating ordinary meals, with ordinary friends--even ordinary friends we didn't have, or couldn't keep.

    André Aciman
