A genuine leader is not a searcher for consensus but a molder of consensus.
Faced with crisis, the man of character falls back on himself. He imposes his own stamp of action, takes responsibility for it, makes it his own.
The only difference between me and a madman is that I'm not mad
We can lick gravity, but sometimes the paperwork is overwhelming.

The goat eats the grass there where it is tied
The essence of life is statistical improbability on a colossal scale.
This is the situation of your head: I see cycle-handles and pedals and strange things that you have gathered from everywhere. Such a small head...and no space to live in! And that rubbish goes on moving in your head; your head goes on spinning and weaving - it keeps you occupied.
Just think what kind of thoughts go on inside your mind. One day just sit, close your doors, and write down for half an hour whatsoever is passing in your mind, and you will understand what I mean and you will be surprised what goes on inside your mind. It remains in the background, it is constantly there, it surrounds you like a cloud. With this cloud you cannot know reality; you cannot attain to spiritual perception.
This cloud has to be dropped. And it is just with your decision to drop it that it will disappear. You are clinging to it - the cloud is not interested in you, remember it.

Diplomacy is the art of letting someone else have your way
Is there some time for yourself today - just for you, to sit quietly and refresh and renew. Not escaping into the TV, or thrashing around a squash court. Just time to sit quietly, focus your thoughts, check your priorities, make sure there is nothing negative pushing you down in your own mind. Take some time and be ...with yourself. If you don't, you may miss meeting the most important person in your life.
Courage is to take a step forward into an area of difficulty without a solution in mind, but yet feeling that victory is ahead. It is going empty handed, but knowing that God's hand is stretched out to pull you.
Awaken, My children, and see the light. Seize the opportunity which you now have and break away from the grooves of the past. Follow the Master and experience the utter bliss which comes from union with God, a life lived in complete harmony with he Infinite.
Everything is changeable, everything appears and disappears; there is no blissful peace until one passes beyond the agony of life and death.
