Joseph Goebbels - in Inconvenient Facts A woman must be a cute, cuddly, naive little thing - tender, sweet, and stupid. Adolf Hitler What luck, for governments, that the people are stupid! Adolf Hitler The state must declare the child to be the most precious treasure of the people. As long as the government is perceived as working for the benefit of the children, the people will happily endure almost any curtailment of liberty and almost any deprivation. Adolf Hitler Never allow the public to cool off; never admit a fault or wrong; never concede that there may be some good in your enemy; never leave room for alternatives; never accept blame; concentrate on one enemy at a time and blame him for everything that goes wrong; people will believe a big lie sooner than a little one; and if you repeat it frequently enough people will sooner or later believe it. Adolf Hitler The most foolish mistake we could possibly make would be to allow the subjected people to carry arms. Adolf Hitler If you wish the sympathy of the broad masses, you must tell them the crudest and most stupid things. Adolf Hitler All propaganda has to be popular and has to accommodate itself to the comprehension of the least intelligent of those whom it seeks to reach. Adolf Hitler Tell a lie loud enough and long enough and people will believe it. Adolf Hitler By the skillful and sustained use of propaganda, one can make a people see even heaven as hell or an extremely wretched life as paradise. Adolf Hitler The receptivity of the masses is very limited, their intelligence is small, but their power of forgetting is enormous. In consequence of these facts, all effective propaganda must be limited to a very few points and must harp on these in slogans until the last member of the public understands what you want him to understand by your slogan. Adolf Hitler The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed--& hence clamorous to be lead to safety--by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary HL Mencken in Inconvenient Facts by Gregory Wrightstone The great tragedy of science, the slaying of a beautiful theory but an ugly fact.

Our heads are round so our thoughts can change direction Francis Picabia Quote from the "Wolf on Wall Street"; The name of the game is to move your clients $ from their pocket to your pocket. #1 rule is, no one knows of the stock in going up, down or sideways, or in circles, least of all stock brokers. It’s Fuggaizze, its fairy dust. It doesn't exist, it’s not on the elemental charts. It ain't real. We don't create anything we don't build anything, so if you have a client that bought stock at $8, it goes to $16 & he's all happy & wants to sell take him money and run home. You don't let him do that cause that would make it real. You get another brilliant idea, a special idea, special situation, special stock you re-invest his earnings & then some & they will buy every time because they are addicted & you keep doing this again & again & again, meanwhile, he thinks he getting rich, which he is on paper, we brokers are taking home cold hard cash via commission Be more concerned with your character than your reputation John Wooden You can have all the degrees in the world but if you don't have a hustler's mentality, ambition & common sense, you'll be lost Ignorance can be educated, crazy can be medicated but there is no cure for stupid Common sense is not a gift, it's a punishment because you have to deal with everyone else that doesn't have it Do not compare your beginning to someone elses middle Jon Acuff Successful people do less Complaining, Blaming, Arguing, Bragging, Resenting, Yelling, Interupting, Talking, Judging, Lying If you want to make everyone happy, do not be a leader, sell ice cream Steve Jobs Classy is when you have lots to say but remain silent in front of fools Everybody deserves 2nd chances but, not for the same mistakes You learn nothing from life if you think you are right all the time Note to self; don't mesure your progress using someone's ruler Silence is the best reply to a fool It doesn't make sense to hire smart people & then tell them what to do, we hire smart people so they can tell us what to do Steve Jobs Be strong when you are weak, brave when you are scared & humble when you're victorious Do not get upset with people or situations, both are powerless without your reaction People will come & go in your life but the one in the mirror will be there forever so, BE GOOD to yourself Pay attention how people act when you're not on good terms I am not a product of my circumstances, I am a product of my decisions I learned to give. Not because I have plenty but because I know what it feels to have nothing Buddha If you want to be successful, you must respect one rule. NEVER lie to yourself The older I get, the more I realize the value of privacy, the value of cultivating your circle & only letting certain people in. You can be open, honest & real while still understanding that not everyone deserves a seat at the table of your life A positive mind finds opportunity in everything & a negative mind finds faults in everything Sometimes you have to leap 1st to discover that you always had wings The greatest gift you can give someone is your time, because when you are give your time your are giving a portion of your life that you will never get back When you stop chasing the wrong things, you give the right things a chance to catch up
When you know your value, you don't beg people to like you. Not everyone can afford the luxury of having your friendship Follow your heart but take your brain with you Happy are those who dream the dreams & are ready to pay the price to make them come true Sometimes the person you'd take a bullet for, ends up being the one behind the gun Eyes are useless when the mind is blind Promises mean everything but when they're broken, sorry means nothing Dealing with backstabbers there is one thing I learned, they are only strong when your back is turned You don't get another chance, life is no Nintendo game I thank you because your hate is what gave me this strength You won't break me, you'll make me stronger than I was If you kick me while I'm down you'd better pray I don't get up Some people dream of success, others wake up & work hard at it Trusting you is my decision, proving me right is your choice If you want a second opinion...Just make sure you know how to determine which one is competent! When you've done something wrong admit it & be sorry. No one in history has ever choked to death from swallowing their pride One day someone will be 100% honest with you & will love you forever so, don't ever give up trying to find them, they're looking for you too When the devil keeps asking you to look at your past, there must be something good in the future he doesn't want you to see Give the gift of absence to those who don't appreciate your presence Sometimes you have to be your own hero Sometimes good thngs fall apart so better things can fall together If someone won't lift a finger to call you, see you or spend time with you, it's time to raise five fingers & wave goodbye The best feeling in the whole world is to watch things falling into place after watching them fall apart for so long When people treat you like they don't care, believe them If you put someone at the top of your priority list & they put you at the bottom of their's, it's time to bring out your eraser What ever you do, never run back to what broke you Frank Ocean Sometimes, burning bridges isn't a bad thing. It prevents you from going back to a place you should never been in the first place Revenge is not in my plans, you will screw yourself on your own Some days I can't stop thinking about you, then ther's other days I wonder why I'm wasting my time Don't feel sad for someone that gave up on you. Feel sorry for them because they gave up on someone that would have never given up on them If you feel you are no longer important to someone....then leave their life silently Stop looking for happiness in the same place you lost it I focused so hard on what I wanted I lost sight of what I deserved Emancipate yourselfes from mental slavery, none but ourselves can free our minds Bob Marley Being vulnerable is the only way to allow your heart to feel true pleasure Bob Marley Some people are so poor, all they have is money Bob Marley I didn't change, I just found myself Bob Marley The hardest prison to escape, is in your mind Bob Marley Obviously I routinely build and modify my own tools and I'm always reminded of the idiocy of blanket prohibition of certain activities, usually because management has no idea and thinks they can make every activity idiot proof rather than getting rid of the idiots. To get the full value of joy, you must have someone to divide it with Mark Twain Forgiveness does not change the past, but it does enlarge the future Paul Boese It's one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself, to forgive. Forgive everybody. Maya Angelou Instead of worrying about what you cannot control, shift your energy to what you can create. Roy T. Bennett When you can't control what's happening, challenge yourself to control the way you respond to what's happening. That's where your power is “The Paradoxical Commandments People are illogical, unreasonable, and self-centered. If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish ulterior motives. If you are successful, you will win false friends and true enemies. The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow. Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable. The biggest men and women with the biggest ideas can be shot down by the smallest men and women with the smallest minds. Think big anyway. People favor underdogs but follow only top dogs. What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight. Build anyway. People really need help but may attack you if you do help them. Help people anyway. Give the world the best you have and you'll get kicked in the teeth. Give the world the best you have anyway.” “You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose. You're on your own. And you know what you know. And YOU are the one who'll decide where to go...” Dr. Seuss, Oh, The Places You'll Go! “I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living.” Dr. Seuss “I am enough of an artist to draw freely upon my imagination. Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.” Albert Einstein “The man who does not read has no advantage over the man who cannot read.” Mark Twain “Fairy tales are more than true: not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten.” Neil Gaiman, Coraline “We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.” Oscar Wilde, Lady Windermere's Fan “The fool doth think he is wise, but the wise man knows himself to be a fool.” William Shakespeare, As You Like It “It is our choices that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.” J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets “Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” H. Jackson Brown Jr. “I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.” Marilyn Monroe “Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.” Rob Siltanen “To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.” Ralph Waldo Emerson “Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.” Albert Einstein “Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened.” Dr. Seuss Common sense so rare that it should classified at super power “Justice, I firmly believe, is so subtle a thing that to interpret it one has only need of a heart.” …Jose Gacia Oliver. Politics is the gentle art of getting votes from the poor and campaign funds from the rich,by promising to protect each from the other. Oscar Am ringer, "the Mark Twain of American Socialism."
I have come to the conclusion that politics is too seriousa matter to be left to the politicians. Charles de Gaulle, French general & politician Instead of giving a politician the keys to the city, it might be better to change the locks. Doug Larson (English middle-distance runner who won gold medals at the 1924 Olympic Games in Paris, 1902-1981) We hang petty thieves and appoint the bigger thieves to public office. ~Aesop, Greek slave & fable author Those who are too smart to engage in politics are punished by being governed by those who are dumber. Plato, ancient Greek Philosopher Politicians are the same all over.They promise to build a bridge even where there is no river. Nikita Khrushchev, Russian Soviet politician When I was a boy I was told that anybody could become president; I'm beginning to believe it. Quoted in 'Clarence Darrow for the Defense' by Irving Stone. Politicians are people who, when they see light at the end of the tunnel, go out and buy some more tunnel. John Quinton, American actor/writer What happens if a politician drowns in a river? That is pollution.What happens if all of them drown? That is a solution ....!!!

Earl Nightingale The reason most people resist change is they focus on what they have to give up instead of what they have to gain Sometimes the best way to get someone's attention is to stop giving them yours Be stronger than your excuses Surround yourself with only with people that are going to lift you higher Set goals that scare you and excite you at the same time Every failure is a lesson, if you are not prepared to fail, you are not ready to succeed Dead last is better than did not finish, which trumps, did not start You can never expect to succeed if you only put in work on the days you feel like it The secret of success is to focus all your energy, not on fighting the old but on building the new Ask yourself, is what you're doing today, getting you closer to what you want to be tomorrow Misery loves company but it hates confidence, be bold enough to say NO when invited to a pity party The devil whispered in my ear, you’re not strong enough to withstand the storm, I whispered in the devil’s ear, I am the Storm Don’t settle, don’t finish a bad book. If you don’t like the menu, leave the restaurant. If you’re not on the right path, get off If you want to find out who’s a true friend, screw up & go thru a challenging time...then see who sticks around Karen Salmonsonn You are under no obligation to be the same person you were a year ago, a month ago or 15 minutes ago.
