Manners - Wisdom At a dinner party one should eat wisely but not too well, and talk well but not
too wisely.
W. Somerset Maugham
Manners are a sensitive awareness of the feelings of
others. If you have that awareness, you have good manners no matter what fork you use.
Emily Post
Manufacturers
We are all manufacturers. Making good, making trouble, or making excuses.
H.V. Adolt
Medicine There is no medicine like hope, no incentive so great, and no tonic so
powerful as the expectation of something tomorrow.
Orison Swett Marden
The art of medicine consists of keeping the patient amused
while nature heals the disease.
Voltaire
Memory - Happiness A happy memory is on earth perhaps truer than happiness.
A. de Musset
Mind - Open A cup is useful only when it is empty; and a mind that is filled
with beliefs, with dogmas, with assertions, with quotations is really an uncreative mind.
J. Krishnamurti

Mother Teresa

miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.

And with death as his greatest source of anxiety.
John Kenneth Galbraith
Money doesn't talk, it swears.
Bob Dylan
I haven't got as much money as some folks, but I've got as much impudence as any
of them, and that's the next thing to money.
Josh Billings
Mothers Sooner or later we all quote our mothers.
Bern Williams
Motivation - Ambition
All motivation is self-motivation. Your family, your boss or your co-workers can
try to get your engine going, but until you decide what to accomplish, nothing will
happen.
Seth Godin in Wisdom, Inc. (HarperCollins)
New A person's mind stretched to a
new idea never goes back to its original dimensions.
Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.
Newspapers Newspapers don't print the truth. They print as much of the truth as they can figure out on a
given day. And then the next day they try to get some more of it.
Ben Bradlee
