Quotation(s)

"It's very flattering that young girls look up to me, but I think that they should know that they are all special- we're all beautiful human beings"

from Britney Spears website,

"When the first Superman movie came out I was frequently asked 'What is a hero?' I remember the glib response I repeated so many times. My answer was that a hero is someone who commits a courageous action without considering the consequences--a soldier who crawls out of a foxhole to drag an injured buddy to safety. And I also meant individuals who are slightly larger than life: Houdini and Lindbergh, John Wayne, JFK, and Joe DiMaggio. Now my definition is completely different. I think a hero is an ordinary individual who finds strength to persevere and endure in spite of overwhelming obstacles.” From Christopher Reeves. Retrieved Jan. 15, 2007 from

“You can observe a lot by watching,” –Yogi Berra.

“The secret of leadership is to keep the guys who hate you away from the guys who are undecided,” –Casey Stengel.

“List of Ten Commandments of Leadership,” by Sam Walton:

4. Communicate all you know.

5. Value your associates and their contributions.

6. Celebrate your success.

7. Listen to everyone.

8. Deliver more than your promise.

9. Work smarter than others.

10. Blaze your own path.

“If in the last few years you haven’t discarded a major opinion or acquired a new one, check your pulse. You may be dead,” –Gelett Burgess.

“If we keep doing what we’re doing, we’ll keep getting what we got,” –David Thornburg.
