Carla Harris on Perspective

And we are sitting in a spot where we're under-utilizing ourselves, our gifts, our talents, and in fact if somebody taps you on the shoulder, that may be the wake-up call to say, go for it - you have absolutely nothing to lose. This is the environment where you should be taking risks internally and externally.

Jon Stewart on Inspiration

I can say I draw a line -- I do what I do because of Bruce Springsteen and I'll tell you why. You introduced me to the concept of the other side. You introduced me to the concept of you go through a tunnel, you take a chance, and you can work to get away from your circumstance. And, by working to get away from your circumstance, you can better yourself. The joy of it is chasing that dream.

Abraham Lincoln on Change

The dogmas of the quiet past are inadequate to the stormy present. The occasion is piled high with difficulty, and we must rise with the occasion. As our case is new, so we must think anew and act anew.

Hugh Sidey on Perspective

Above all else: go out with a sense of humor. It is needed armor. Joy in one's heart and some laughter on one's lips is a sign that the person down deep has a pretty good grasp of life.
