Hence, for the next two weeks, I'm calling upon other folks to offer you the following kernels of wisdom. "It is of interest to note that while some dolphins are reported to have learned English - up to fifty words used in correct context - no human being has been reported to have learned dolphinese."-Carl Sagan "Ask yourself what makes you come alive, and go do that, because what the world needs is people who have come alive."-Howard Thurman "I do not think that there is any other quality so essential to success of any kind as the quality of perseverance. It overcomes almost everything, even nature."-John D. Rockefeller "You can't do it yourself. Don't be afraid to rely on others to help you accomplish your goals." -Oprah Winfrey "When one door closes another door opens; but we so often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door, that we do not see the ones which open for us." -Alexander Graham Bell"Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could; some blunders and absurdities have crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; you shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense." -Ralph Waldo Emerson"The great thing in this world is not so much where we are, but in what direction we are moving." -Oliver Wendell Holmes"People grow through experience if they meet life honestly and courageously. This is how character is built." -Eleanor Roosevelt "During periods of relaxation,..., the intuitive mind seems to take over and can produce the sudden clarifying insights which give us so much joy and delight." -Fritjof Capra "Everything becomes a little different as soon as it is spoken outloud." -Herman Hesse "Your vision will become clear only when you look into your heart. Who looks outside, dreams. Who looks inside, awakens." -Carl Jung"People demand freedom of speech to make up for the freedom of thought which they avoid." -Soren Kierkegaard "I find that the harder I work, the more luck I seem to have." -Thomas Jefferson "Courage isn't the absence of fear, but rather the judgment that something else is more important than fear." -Ambrose Redmoon "The true measure of a man is how he treats someone who can do him absolutely no good." -Samuel Johnson
