Words backed up with emotions are so much more powerful

"What is it that makes language powerful? I can give you a simple answer: words filled with emotion.
Words themselves are powerful, but not nearly as powerful as those loaded with human emotion. Hate, love, anger, contempt, caring and compassion are all part of the full spectrum of human emotion available to all of us. Emotion is what makes language powerful enough to accomplish the task, move somebody to action, correct a problem or find a solution. Here's where intensity plays its part: It changes the power of the word. Picture a word as a little straight pin. If I have a little straight pin and I threw it at you and hit you on the hand, you'd feel it. I've touched you with my words. But what if I took that little straight pin and wired it to the end of an iron bar? I could drive that pin through your heart. The pin is the word, and the iron bar is the emotion. Words backed up with emotions are so much more powerful. The emotions change the effectiveness of the word."
Keep in mind, however, that emotions must be well-measured."

Obligations not confined to the limits of our society

"We feel that we are acting under obligations not confined to the limits of our society. It is impossible not to be sensible that we are acting for all mankind."

Thomas Jefferson, to Joseph Priestly, 19 June 1802, while TJ was President.

We are not born into this world with fixed habits

"We are not born into this world with fixed habits. Neither do we inherit a noble character. Instead, we are given the privilege and opportunity of choosing which way of life we will follow-which habits we will form.

Confucius said that the nature of men is always the same. It is their habits that separate them. Good habits are not acquired simply by making good resolves, though the thought must precede the action. Good habits are developed in the workshop of our daily lives. It is not in the great moments of test and trial that character is built. That is only when it is displayed. The habits that direct our lives and form our character are fashioned in the often uneventful, commonplace routine of life. They are acquired by practice."

~ Delbert L. Stapley ~

Nonviolence is the answer to the crucial political and moral questions of our time

Martin Luther King:

Nonviolence is the answer to the crucial political and moral questions of our time: the need for man to overcome oppression and violence without resorting to oppression and violence. Man must evolve for all human conflict a method which rejects revenge, aggression and retaliation. The foundation of such a method is love.

- Nobel Prize acceptance speech, Stockholm, Sweden, 1964

Make special privilege for medical as well as religious freedom

"Unless we put medical freedom into the constitution, the time will come when medicine will organize an undercover dictatorship. To restrict the art of healing to one class of men, and deny equal privilege to others, will be to constitute the Bastille of medical science. All such laws are un-American and despotic and have no place in a republic. The constitution of this republic should make special privilege for medical as well as religious freedom."
- Benjamin Rush, MD (1745-1813; signer of the Declaration of Independence).

It is how you finish that counts

"How you start is important, very important, but in the end it is how you finish that counts. It is easier to be a self-starter than a self-finisher. The victor in the race is not the one who dashes off swiftest but the one who leads at the finish. In the race for success, speed is less important than stamina. The sticker outlasts the sprinter in life's race. In America we breed many hares but not so many tortoises."B. C. Forbes

I will persist until I succeed."
