My two favourite books of quotations: 'Make Gentle the Life of This World,' edited by Maxwell Kennedy - RFK's commonplace book; and 'The Harvest of a Quiet Eye,' by Alan MacKay.

We accomplish things by directing our desires, not by ignoring them.
How badly do you want it?
People should follow their own energy.
Give the man you'd like to be a look at the man you are.
Help people to become more motivated by directing them to their own power.
Just do it!
