Commitment
Founder - Editor - Host
"People do not lack strength, they lack will." -- Victor Hugo
"A clay pot sitting in the sun will always be a clay pot. It
has to go through the white heat of the furnace to become
porcelain." -- Mildred Stouven
"Success is never final. Failure is never fatal. It's courage
that counts." -- John Wooden
“Gradual change is usually more fruitful in the long run than
is forced, ultra-aggressive upheaval. Undertaken wisely,
steady transitions cultivate authenticity, groundedness, and
virtues--like patience, compassion (for self and others), and
perseverance. All these qualities improve your probability of
success when, ultimately, you do figure out how to actualize
your personal vision." -- Marsha Sinetar
"In your endeavors do not be surprised by success; be shocked
by failure." -- Copyright © 1997 CC Leatherbury
"The harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What
we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly; it is dearness
only that gives everything its value. I love the man that can
smile in trouble, that can gather strength from distress and
grow brave by reflection. 'Tis the business of little minds to
shrink; but he whose heart is firm, and whose conscience
approves his conduct, will pursue his principles unto death."
-- Thomas Paine
"The door to opportunity is always labeled 'push'." -- Author
Unknown
"Keep your eyes on the prize and your soul on the goal." -- D.
Speegle, 2001
"A good man does not spy around for the black spots in others,
but presses unswervingly on towards his mark." -- Marcus
Aurelius
"It sometimes seems that intense desire creates not only its
own opportunities, but its own talents." -- Eric Hoffer
"To look backward for a while is to refresh the eye, to
restore it, and to render it more fit for its prime function
of looking forward." -- Margaret Fairless
"It is not enough to aim, you must hit." -- Italian proverb
"Winners are those who attempt to do things right without fear
of failure. Champions are those that fail and get back up to
try it again. Winners are born, champions are made." --
