4. Responsibility starts with saying you are cause in the matter. Responsibility is not burden, fault, praise, blame, credit, shame, or guilt. In responsibility there is no evaluation of good or bad, right or wrong. There is simply what’s so, and your stand. Being responsible starts with your willingness to deal with a situation from the point of view that you are the generator of what you do, what you have, and what you are. This point of view extends to include even what is done to you, and ultimately what another does to another. This is not the truth. It is a place to stand. No one can make you responsible, nor can you impose responsibility on another. It is a grace you give yourself – and empowering context that leaves you with a say in the matter of life.

5. The important thing is this: to be able, at any moment, to sacrifice what we are for what we could become. Charles DuBois

8. My propositions serve as elucidations in the following way: anyone who understands me eventually recognizes them as nonsensical, when he has used them -- as steps -- to climb up beyond them. (He must, so to speak, throw away the ladder after he has climbed up it.) He must transcend these propositions, and then he will see the world aright. Ludwig Josef Johann Wittgenstein,Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus, 6.54

16. Good leaders must first become good servants. Robert Greenleaf

17. The servant-leader is a servant first, it begins with a natural feeling that one wants to serve, to serve first - as opposed to wanting power, influence, fame, or wealth. Robert Greenleaf

18. At one point in every day, one of our customers will come into contact with one of us, the Princess employees, and at that moment in time we will be Princess Cruises. Our entire reputation as a company will be in our hands and we will make an impression. The impression will either be good, or it will be bad and we will have spoken to our customers more loudly than all our community involvement, all our advertising and all our public relations put together.

20. It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat. Theodore Roosevelt

21. We do not believe in ourselves until someone reveals that deep inside us something is valuable, worth listening to, worthy of our trust, sacred to our touch. Once we believe in ourselves, we can risk curiosity, wonder, spontaneous delight or any experience that reveals the human spirit. ee cummings

23. Doubt & Screwing Up Completely

27. There is much honest doubt that should be encouraged. History, for instance, is literally patched together by doubt. There could be no progress without it. Galileo doubted that the Earth stood still. Copernicus doubted that the Earth was the center of the universe. Columbus doubted that it was flat. Newton doubted that nature was erratic, and Einstein doubted that the Earth was fixed. Larry Jones

28. Finally, one must make choices. Perhaps one chooses the same aim or hypothesis again and again. But, it is always a fresh and open choice, and it is always under a shadow of doubt. Robert Greenleaf

29. In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing, the next best thing is the wrong thing, and the worst thing you can do is nothing. Theodore Roosevelt

31. Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to err. Mahatma Ghandi

32. Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, "I will try again tomorrow.” Mary Anne Radmacher

35. Audacious Goals

37. Wish for your deepest desires, she said & when I asked if they'd come true, she said they always do, so you might as well get them out in the open while you're still young enough to correct any serious mistakes. Brian Andreas

39. Brotherhood does not begin when you pledge. Brotherhood does not begin when you initiate. Brotherhood does not begin when you receive your badge and membership certificate. Brotherhood does not begin when you write your first dues check. Brotherhood begins the day you are disappointed. The day you are pissed off. The day you have on overwhelming desire to quit, to give up, to find better things to do with your valuable time and money. Your brotherhood begins the day you are disillusioned in Alpha Rho Chi, but you show up anyway. You show up anyway. You show up anyway despite all the reasons not to.

40. Take courage friends. The way is often hard, the path is never clear, and the stakes are very high. Take courage. For deep down, there is another truth: you are not alone. Wayne Aranson
