“Today is the worst day of the rest of your life.”

❧ Carl Smith

“In 1978, as in other years, I hope to be able to play some role in making working people aware that the present day reality of poverty, wage slavery, and mind-destroying media and schools is not the only reality - but simply a pathetic presentation brought to us by a handful of power-hungry individuals who own and control our economy.”

❧ Bernie Sanders

“I particularly enjoyed being immersed in the ethos of engineering, which is very different from the ethos of science. A good scientist is a person with original ideas. A good engineer is a person who makes a design that works with as few original ideas as possible. There are no prima donnas in engineering.”

❧ Freeman Dyson

“Tradition is just peer pressure from dead people.”

“The further behind you start, the more glorious your comeback will be.”

❧ Zack Kanter

“One can choose to go back toward safety or forward toward growth. Growth must be chosen again and again; fear must be overcome again and again.”

❧ Abraham Maslow

“Worst decisions I've ever made: Any time I’ve ever acted out of anything but love, kindness, and compassion: This includes a lot of bad decisions within the same category, but it’s an important one to me, because these are the choices that eat at me the most. Why would I ever punch down when I could lift up (or not say anything at all)? Why would I ever exclude when I could include? Why would I spend my time and energy talking about what I dislike when I could share something I love? It’s when I’ve broken from these principles that I’ve felt the least like myself.”

❧ Jamey Stegmaier

“I think the clowning philosophy is something like: “When I make mistakes, people connect with me the most. But it has to be real. I have to enter with a dream, and when it falls apart they love me when they see my eyes”.”
