We need leaders with experience in the real world, not experience in the phony world of politics.

We need laws written by people who have confronted life in the real world, not in the sheltered world of trust fund recipients of the insulated cocoon of academia.

People have a vested interest in promoting one set of polices rather than finding out what the truth is.

A leader should demonstrate his thoughts and opinions through actions, not words.

Learn to say 'no' to the good so you can say 'yes' to the best.

Unkind people need your kindness the most. They advertise their pain.

The truth is still the truth even if no one believes it. A lie is still a lie, even if everyone believes it.

To give real service you must add something which cannot be bought or measured with money: sincerity and integrity.

Truth may not help us make friends, but it will help us keep sincere ones.

Information is not knowledge. The only source of knowledge is experience. You need experience to gain wisdom.; September 06, 2024 7:10 AM
