Arrogance

 

“We can never judge the lives of others, because each person knows only their own pain and renunciation. It’s one thing to feel that you are on the right path, but it’s another to think that yours is the only path.”

Paulo Coelho

Failure

 

Abraham Lincoln, Walt Disney, Henry Ford and Will Durant have one thing in common.

 

They all went bankrupt.

 

The reason you probably don’t know Durant’s name, even though he helped found General Motors, Frigidaire and many other companies, is because when he went bankrupt in the mid 1930s, he quit, had ill health and died managing a bowling alley in Flint, Michigan.

 

Failure is not an event. It is a choice.

Water

 

There is an old expression, “You can lead a horse to water but you can’t make him drink.”

 

First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—

Because I was not a Socialist.

 

Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out— 

Because I was not a Trade Unionist.

 

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out— 

Because I was not a Jew.

 

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

Martin Niemoller

 

And to whom will we speak about a world that works for everyone?
