About Me


Inspirational Quotes:
Wise [persons] learn by others' mistakes, fools by their own. (Henry George Bohn)
Our greatest glory consists not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall. (Confucius)
The way we imagine ourselves to appear to another person is an essential element in our conception of ourselves. In other words, I am not what I think I am, and I am not what you think I am. I am what I think you think I am. (Robert Bierstedt)
Do not waste a minute -- not a second -- in trying to demonstrate to others the merits of your performance. If your work does not vindicate itself, you cannot vindicate it. (Thomas Wentworth Higginson)
A fool's brain digests philosophy into folly, science into superstition, and art into pedantry. Hence University education. (George Bernard Shaw)
This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness. (Dalai Lama)
