Talent
Talent is the gift plus passion -- a desire to succeed so intense that no force
on earth can stop it.
Neil SimonTeamwork - Diversity
Teams begin with individuals. Respect for the different ways that different people process
information is an excellent first step toward helping diverse personalities reach
consensus.
Patrick Townsend in Quality in Action
Teamwork
Snowflakes are one of nature's most fragile things, but just look
what they can do when they stick together.
Vista M. Kelly
Tears
The soul would have no rainbows had the eyes no tears.
John Vance Cherry
Television
The worst thing about
television is that everybody you see on
television is doing something better than what you're
doing. You never see anybody on TV
just sliding off the front of the sofa, with
potato chip crumbs all over their shirt.
Jerry Seinfeld
Terrorists
We must try to find ways to starve the terrorist and the hijacker of the
oxygen of publicity on which they depend.
Margaret Thatcher
Thanksgiving
Reflect upon your present blessings, of which everyone has plenty; not on
your past misfortunes of which everyone has some.
Charles Dickens
Pride slays thanksgiving, but a humble mind is the soil out of which thanks
naturally grow. A proud man is seldom a grateful man, for he never thinks he gets as much
as he deserves.
Henry Ward Beecher
Thanksgiving dinners take eighteen hours to
prepare. They are consumed in twelve
minutes. Half-times take twelve minutes.
This is not coincidence.
Erma Bombeck
On Thanksgiving Day we acknowledge our dependence.
William Jennings Bryan
Time - Wasting Time
Loss of time through sociability, idle talk, luxury, even more sleep than necessary for
health (six to at most eight hours), is worthy of absolute moral condemnation.
Max Weber
The days come and go, but they say nothing. And if we do not use the gifts they
bring, they carry them as silently away.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Timing - Words
The right word may be effective, but no word was ever as effective as a
rightly timed pause.
Mark Twain
Today
We don't want tradition. We want to live in the present, and the only
history that is worth a tinker's damn is the history we make today. Henry Ford
Some there are who torment themselves afresh with the memory of what has past.
Others afflict themselves with the apprehension of evil to come. Very ridiculous are both.
For the one does not concern us now, and the other is not yet. One should count each day
as a separate life.
Seneca
Tomorrow
You can't have a better tomorrow if you are thinking about yesterday all
the time.
Charles F. Kettering
Tragedy
Grief and tragedy and hatred are only for a time. Goodness, remembrance, and love
have no end.
George W. Bush
Trees
Trees are the earth's endless effort to speak to the listening heavens.
Rabindranath Tagore
Any fool can destroy trees. They cannot run away.
John Muir
Trials - Opportunities
Our trials are great opportunities, but all too often we simply
see them as large obstacles.
L.B. Cowman in Streams in the Desert
Troubles
Drag your thoughts away from your troubles, by the ears, by the heels, or
any other way you can manage it.
Mark Twain
True
You must be true to yourself. Strong enough to be true to yourself.
Brave enough to be strong enough to be true to yourself. Wise enough to be brave enough,
to be strong enough to shape yourself from what you actually are.
Sylvia Constance Ashton-Warner
Trust
When a train goes through a
tunnel and it gets dark, you don't throw
away the ticket and jump off. You sit still and
trust the engineer.
Corrie Ten Boom
Useful
Some of us are like wheelbarrows, only useful when pushed and
easily upset.
Jack Herbert
Valor
Valor is a gift. Those having it never know for sure whether they
have it until the test comes. And those having it in one test never know for sure if they
will have it when the next test comes.
Carl Sandburg
Value - Success
Try not to become a man of success, but rather a man of value.
Albert Einstein
Vanity
Vanity and pride are different things, though the words are often used
synonymously. A person may be proud without being vain. Pride relates more to our opinion
of ourselves; vanity to what we would have others think of us.
Jane Austen
Vision
If you treat an individual as he is, he will stay that way, but if you
treat him as if he were what he could be, he will become what he could be.
Goethe
Do not let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do.
John Wooden
