The Wonderful, One & Only, LEVI STUBBS

Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary - Steve Jobs

Excerpt from Steve Jobs' 2005 Stanford Commencement Address

The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated - Mahatma Gandhi

It had long since come to my attention that people of accomplishment rarely sat back and let things happen to them. They went out and happened to things - Leonardo da Vinci

The greater danger for most of us lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low, and achieving our mark - Michelangelo

All the darkness in the world cannot extinguish
the light of a single candle - Saint Francis of Assisi

This above all: to thine own self be true,
and it must follow, as the night the day,
thou canst not then be false to any man - William Shakespeare

Any major dude with half a heart surely will tell you my friend
Any minor world that breaks apart falls together again -
Walter Becker & Donald Fagen aka Steely Dan
