"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, concerned citizens can change the world. Indeed it is the only thing that ever has."
--Margaret Mead
 

 
"Blame or finger-pointing and lack of personal responsibility keep the gloomy game going.  They keep stealing your hidden genius and potential wealth-- giving them to a dimwit on the sidelines with no leadership, heart, or financial skills.  Dear one, wise up."
--Hafiz
 

 
"Lasting improvement does not take place by pronouncements or official programs.  Change takes place slowly inside each of us and by the choices we think through in quiet wakeful moments lying in bed just before dawn."
--Peter Block
 
 
“Leadership is as much an inner state as an outer position, and its state of mind can be practiced and learned like any other skill. You may have been told that your personality type was suited for certain kinds of tasks and not ideal for others, but you can make surprisingly large changes to your skill level.”
-Phillip Hodgson and Randall P. White
